  1. Our daughter has a lower spec'd version. Not flash, but fine, as an around town car. What I do like is that there is a Toyota dealership everywhere, whereas cheaper Chinese cars may not have the same level of dealer support.

  2. No need to mention his name. Mistakes happen.

  3. $142K might be a reason they haven't sold a lot.

  4. We had a look at a Model 3 & a standard Model Y yesterday. Initially, I thought the 3 would have been my choice, but because the seats in the Y sit up on a raised platform, getting in and out of the seat is so much easier, for an old guy. It was absolutely amazing! The 3 was hard to get in and out of. The biggest dissapointment however, was no spare tyre. The salesman said there was 4 years of road service, but frankly, if you have a flat, that can't be repaired with a tube of goo, you could be stranded for a long time! He countered with "For $300 you can buy a spare wheel". Yeah, but where do you store it! We declined the offer of a test drive, because we knew that the wow factor could have us buying it, against our better judgement. Seriously, no spare wheel was the breaking point. We have family in rural NSW & Victoria and buying anything without a proper spare could be a recipe for disaster

  5. I'd be happy to ditch the 3rd row to get a full-size spare.

  6. I watched the video and found it a balanced comparison.

  7. Better that he says what he thinks rather than being mouthpiece for Hyundai or any other manufacturer.

  8. Hmmm. It's better than I thought it'd be, however, there are a couple of other channels that highlight some issues. Paul alluded to a feeling that it felt like the rear wheels lifted when he braked. One channel hooked GoPros underneath and Yes, the wheels leave the ground, which isn't ideal in heavy braking. The other channel reviewed the Hybrid and when allowing weight of the Hybrid battery, a towball and the download weight, there was about 80kg of spare weight capacity left to carry passengers and their luggage, so it might be a case of not adding any accessories, and leaving the Mrs at home.

  9.  @bradleystuart8608  I've been pretty lucky, with had 4 or 5 punctures over 40 years. So in reality, the risk is relatively low in the City. Mostly nails and screws, in carparks. That said, I've had 1 flat on a highway and 1 on a country road. In my opinion, a full-size spare is simply just good safety outside of the city, due to the distance (and time) to get assistance.
