imagine my shock when vicki said at the end that a VW diesel had (quote) "a slight question mark over emissions". she saw it coming 15 years before everyone else.

[@napraznicul]

EVERY producer of diesel cars did lie in a way or other, but only vw was catched. Those bullshit emission rules destroyed reliability of engines and also performances and sound

[@prokoerkoerfeuuififune8936]

so what emissions are a scam anyway just another way the eu can stop us from having a car and being locked in a pod and eat bugs

[@RWL2012]

and 8 years before the particular engine involved even existed!

[@RoobehTunes]

The drag race I never knew I needed!

[@anatolictengrist]

Corsa

[@roygrif]

Those old Volvo V70xc are perfect for snow storms and bad weather in the mid west of the USA. Perhaps not the best vehicle for commuting in England. I love mine and it has NO rust and is 18 years old now.

Got to love VHS crackle

I had 6speed tdi golf all those years ago its was fun in fairness

[@MrROTD]

This was a more innocent time and thats a weird thing to say about 2000

[@ridanann]

Yes nobody committed any crime nobody had sex and we weren't just about 3 years after a 30-year War with the next door neighbours innocent righttttt

[@nopethanks4444]

They for warn us at the end about diesel gate. Having the honda insight after saying vw has questionable emissions.

[@hjembrentkent6181]

Nice

[@caredits-mt3sk]

diesel gate who cars the goverment sucks no one should be forced to do emmmision nonsense

[@soundseeker63]

They were a bit harsh on the Golf. I think they totally missed the point of that car. Yes it wasn't terribly exciting, but nor was it trying to be. It was more a fast luxury hatch with all the refinements of a compact executive car from the class above. To compare it in any way to an Integra type R (great car in its own way) is just silly. Sometimes the reviewers are too stuck in their own minds about what they want a car to be rather than taking it for what it actually is.

What's the exact date of this episode?

[@kaiokendo]

28:43 J A M E S H E Y

[@farishanafiah8461]

25:54 Unpopular opinion here, but I much prefer CO2-based road tax over displacement-based road tax. Contrary to what most people believe, cars with big engine can be as green, if not greener than cars with small engine.

[@wiolaprzerywacz5446]

What is he saying in 22:11 about the part steering? I can't hear a word.

[@knightsmithrestorations5409]

“It just isn’t talkative enough”

[@jacknapier7036]

2000 electric and hybrids already

[@ohlookasquirrel4942]

The drag race at the start would be interesting no in 2022, electric cars are now much much faster.

[@tomlowbridge5784]

As if a 3cyl polo diesel does 40mpg. About 75mpg on paper

[@soundseeker63]

They must have used the figures they achieved on their test route. But everyone knows the brochure figures are not what most people will get in the real world. It was a realistic test in the sense all the cars drove the same course, even if 43mpg does sound a bit low. 50-60 was probably achieveable.

[@marcusthestarlord4936]

The intro is so weird 🤭

[@jrice610]

A6 All Road beautifully engineered??!!. The myth of German engineering still persists. This car was a disaster but as with all other German brands the motoring press wears the back hander rosy tinted spectacles.

[@Jpvashon]

Considered among the most unreliable cars built.

[@kevsterrobert1847]

Great format wIv TIff , Vbh Do you have any EP Of GTI?

[@gud6y]

Have uploaded an episode of GTi but it has some copyright issues...if it's not on my channel yet, it will hopefully be on soon.

[@kevsterrobert1847]

Than , what Car On It ?

[@kevinroberts5653]

@@gud6y That Shame Do you have any JD Power Survey 2OOO , Car Of The year ?

[@99Lezard99]

imagine a v6 golf beeing more expensive to buy then a sti or a type r today. 😂

[@KapitanPisoar1]

Well at least you could've buy a V6 Golf...

[@napraznicul]

most garbage review and compare of V70 vs. allroad. Who the fuck told you that v70 cc is better offroad in ANY situation?!.. That v70 cc don't even have a PERMANENT awd, instead is ALL TIME FWD, then from time to time.. send 10-30% to rear axle.. which is almost nothing😂😂. V70 cc got way more weak engine and especially weak gearbox AND center "diff"(which in fact isn't ..) very low reliable and low performance.

[@clicheguevara9917]

cool

Corsa C=Garbage
