Had 2 GTi's in the early 2000's, a 92 GTi custom turbo and a '94 GTi, probably the best cara I've owner, sadly, had to sell them. Then later in late 2000's, found myself a '92 Cultus Convertible (aka Swift convertible) it didnt take long to replace all the running gear to GTi spec, as everything just bolted straight on, these where CVT auto, but changed it over to manaul. Power Steering with Air Con, what more could I want? Then the power bug got me and eventually turboed it, what a fun little car. Sold that, and have been wanting another Swift for ages, my brother had a 2010 Swift, great car, and with the Booster Jet engine, I think it's time for me to get another Swift, I would love the Sports.
You guys do fabulous reviews with some great Aussie banter! We're very excited waiting for our new 2024 Outlander Aspire to be delivered. We were ready to go with an LS Black Edition because of those heated hybrid fake leather suede seats but we got a good deal on the Aspire with tow bar, nudge bar and proper tinted widows. For an extra $3000 above the LS you get a lot for features so it was a no brainier to spend the extra on the Aspire. Keep up the good work boys.
Absolutely love your videos and all your constructive banter. I agree with you that the Elite is the sweet spot, although I'd prefer to spend the extra $2K on something else or even put it towards a Highlander. The Kia Sportage SX+ offers similar features. What are your thoughts on that car?
Nice review. As a 50 something guy, I’ve owned over 30 cars and never purchased the same vehicle twice. Until this one. Having the original 2017 model, it has been replaced with the 2023. Plus I’ve had cars worth more than twice this, yet bang for bucks and the questions I still get just sums it up as an all round car. At 189 cms, I can also comfortably sit behind my driving position. Sadly, it’s the end of an era and I’m not ready to go electric just yet.
You can't take it through serious water or mud there is no under car protection you will drown it. The reversing camera is pathetic at night and in rain you can't see a thing. The interior lights are as dim as a candle. The seats are not soft leather they are quite. hard. Major work on the engine will be costly because of the lack of space under the bonnet. Et etc etc.
I’ve previously had a Prius and the battery was under the seat. This created issues as a lot of people forgot the vents were there and blocked them with towels etc after being at the beach or storing other items. It’s a narrow space but was an issue and caused overheating for them. I imaging having the stuff in the boot instead protects from this.
I'm in the market for a second hand car. Option 1: 2021 Tucson Highlander with nline and 1.6ltr turbo engine for $42k on road Option 2: 2020 Mazda CX9 Azami with 23000 Ks For $42k then plus on road costs. I'm so confused and have no real mechanically minded help
Here in the U.S. Mitsubishis are not very popular. I bought a used 2019 ASX 2.4 litre engine (called an Outlander Sport here) and just took it in for its 60,000 mile check up and nothing is wrong! Besides doing the normal maintenance, brakes, oil, and transmission fluid changes it's a great car! I did replace the transmission fluid with 100% synthetic and it runs much smoother and quieter. The only thing I don't like is there doesn't seem to be a lot of accessories that you can get here in the U.S.
Great car...when it is working. We're having an epidemic of i20N fuel pump failures in Australia which has left myself and an ever growing number of other i20N owners with no car and currently no idea when they will be fixed. Head on over to Hyundai i20N owners club Australia to see for yourself.
Just bought the 2024 ASX GSR. I said to the salesman "It's quite an old school design that's been around awhile". He replied, "We prefer to say, tried and tested!!" Can't argue with that! :)
Start stop traffic driving a diesel will clog up your dpf, love diesels but regations have destroyed diesel unless you doing a lot of hwy driving, so many are making this mistake and cause them self grief
Honestly the space isn't that much different. I've tried the i30N and i20n before my Kona n. . It's nitpicking really when it comes down to it. You can drop the boot floor in the kona n as well. Plus no rear strut bar compared to the hatch and especially the sedan.
Pretty strange review this is probably one of the loudest cars I’ve ever owned driving on the freeway, the 19 inch wheels are paired very poorly with the pirrelis. The road noise and vibration through the steering wheel due to the low profile tyres is INSANE Fuel economy non freeway is closer to 12 on average all day long
I really like the stinger and I am thinking about getting one now but I did watch some reviews and a lot reports about the rear diff failing and kia in most cases doesnt honour their warranty as they should and they were a lot report about rattling noises in the cabin and front brakes shudders
I bought the 2023 nline premium in manual. If I want sport mode, I use my right foot and left hand differently. Also, it doesn't come with adaptive cruise control which is by far the most stupid thing ever in a car. Imagine being behind someone and you are always changing speed. A bloke I work with has this feature and because of this, he always drives in the right lane on the highway. Yes, he is an arse. As for the ride comfort, I thought it was fine, and even took it on a bumpy gravel road, no problem. One thing it doesn't have, is blind spot monitoring. That's ok, just search for wing mirror setup for blind spots. It changed my driving forever.
I own a 160k bmw x5 and a gwm xsr runabout. I've driven the h6gt, and it was fine. Not sure what weed these two are smoking. Bloody hell, it was almost a paid presentation against the brand lol......
Cool preserved example. Yeah, no power everything on that model, 80s ushered in that era and plenty of models did, you needed a ghia etc We had an import Isuzu Aska 84 and it had everything. SE Sigmas had everything. Top end and spec small cars were loaded. TX3 was hot hatch market, maybe that would've pushed the cost up too much?
Good cars for the brand new buyer under warranty, to be used short term as work vehicle, tax claim and no care for environmental long term use. Won't last the 20 let alone 30 or 40 year old mark. Disposable after the 2nd owner struggling to keep it running 1-2 years past warranty.
