  1. Unfortunately, I must for once say that this was quite far from the best Carow review. Hopefully, Matt and team will get a second chance in more suited surroundings to drive this ST again.

  2. The updated front design is super well sorted, looks really great.

  3. It´s definitely good looking for an estate family car – I am a BMW fan and I do like the new 3 Series Estate a lot – but this Volvo is overall more elegant. Volvo is doing a freaking great job adding to the competition in these classes.

  4. To me they hit the nail with this one as well - The new Bentley looks better than ever and this Convertible is no exception. What impresses me the most though is the leather color and wood trim combinations – simply outstanding.

  5. Which cant be said to be a bad thing :)

  6. Quite impressed by this car and what if offers for the money. It has good proportions and a very good stance – personally, I like the space grey, white orange combination but it might not be to everyone's liking and the Interior is certainly not boring and has its own modern style. Big boot and 3 back seats, flat floor. Not a car for me but I can certainly understand why a family would choose this. Great work Citroen. And as always a great consistent review, thanks ;D

  7. Terrible Dashboard design, not a hint of inspiration.

  8. Thanks for the explantion. It was never the less a hilarious scene...;D

  9. Seams pretty ok for such a small and fairly cheap car.
    20
  10. Yes sadly it has this weird goofiness about it - but perhaps it´s better with the roof off.

  11. Who would have thought that one day the X3 actually would become a good looking car – No more complaints from me on this, well done BMW even that I dislike SUV´s in general unless they are bought to serve an SUV purpose with some terrain and offroad driven included.

  12. Most interesting concept car for a while – it not often that a car with no front looks this good. IMO AUDI should aim to build the thing in about 5 years time or so. Cheers from a BWM fan.

  13. I don´t like people who say they don´t like stuff.
    15
  14. The new form language is working really well, sporty, dynamic, muscular and boldly refined, and what more important – it is still undeniable BMW – it simply looks great and they should offer both engines for this M8 + a Hybrid.
    15
  15. Hands Down, But that Honda did quite Well - Also stopped in 32m even being a lump of a weird hybrid SUV.
    14
  16. A new classic - looks absolutely gorgeous 🤩
    13
  17. I agree, and I am a BMW fan so I would take the M5 – But that 63s is a brilliant Mercedes and car.
    12
  18. Its the most accessible and simple 4x4 – considering the price voting for the Jimny is a pretty fair one. If you need more space then the Jeep is properly the best option around now and well then there is the G-Wagon, but at 160 grand it is way off most peoples pockets and then there is the fuel cost of running a V8 Biturbo on daily basis – only for millionaires unless it comes in a more reasonable spec with a V6 or a diesel and without the exclusive interior that would be ruined fast on a real off-road trip.

  19. I like Crisps and I can fit a bag of Crisps into any glovebox on any car - When I´m finished eating the Crisps that is.
    11
  20. I like the cupholder solution – pretty smart being flexible. The car looks quite good, but yea it certainly lost some sporty personality and is now blending in with most of the competition, but it is still well proportioned – I think the front is really well solved with a clear DRG. I guess Ford had many reasons for changing the look of the car and for certain one being the growing Asian markets – Mazda did well with their new visual concept about 10 years ago which can is seen quite clearly in this Ford Focus ;D. Carwow reviews are the best guide for anybody needing to by a regular car.

  21. A fair verdict, and I prefer BMW in general amongst the 3 Brands, but the new E-Class has taken the first(next) step which naturally is a step higher up and quite a step it is. The Interior is a marvel in design with character, no other interior looks like it, even slightly. And the exterior oozes of class, history and gentleman stability - Well Done Mercedes!. The AUDI in this trim in fact looks fairly cool and composed exterior wise - This A6 size fits the AUDI DNA rather well, enough surface to gain some toned down mix of power and minimalistic elegance and good stance. The BMW surely gains in attraction when it drives - it simply looks better moving than standing still - But to shine it´s good drivability it needs more sporty and slightly larger wheels. Seeing forward to a review of the next gen.

  22. Depends how much silver you get for £4000 – and people do pay money for Silver in general – its not a free resource ;D

  23. I usually like small sports hatches, but for this, the weight, damping, and a somewhat funky interior are the main USP´s. The exterior has become less iconic with some rather large front wheel overhangs resulting in a heavy nose profile. The cruise control with lane assist is really not needed for this kind of car – A slightly lower entry price without that option would have been preferable and perhaps 10 HP more instead. Neither the UP nor this looks particularly cool – but If Matt says it is fun to drive then it is an important part of it.

  24. Brilliant review! – Mat would be one perfect part of a new Top Gear team if such ever was to be made.

  25. Stop pretending that everybody shares your point of view. Over the years there has been many cars that divided peoples attraction towards them - Love it or hate it. I´m not particular trilled about that Civic R either, but at least it is far from being boring and its extreme exterior lit up the streets a bit - be happy that not every hot hatch looks like the Civic R nor the Golf GTi.

  26. Rather amazing the amount of cars being reviewed by Mat + all the extra walkthroughs - Is there any other channel at all (in the world) that does this amount and type of reviews I wonder? - And I do like the no BS approach, every car get positives and negatives, even Ferrari.

  27. Despite a lot of things not to my liking, I think they should just proceed and not tone it down, get as close to the concept as possible - this car needs those extreme exterior angles to keep its presence. Taking the base box measures, bringing them back to current design DNA and it will look like and old X3 and I guess nobody would want that. One note - headrests looks somewhat like the outline of the Renault logo.

  28. Before the SUV trend emerged, the estate cars was the obvious choice if you wanted more space for your journey. Many people in europe still pack up their car, family and drives to various locations in europe for summer holidays. If you have dogs it also makes sense. An estate car weighs less than a SUV generally speaking and it should drive better too, feeling more like a normal car - though it´s hard to say that today with the immense development that has gone into SUV´s.

  29.  @Onkel31199  Sorry, But I don´t see the reason for your reply really – I agree that both these cars are brilliant and as stated, since I am BWM fan (mostly) my personal reference would be the M5. That does not mean or in anyway indicate that the 63s is better or worse does it now?.

  30. The Velar simply looks fantastic in my eyes and I´m not the target group and I´m not particular found of SUV´s and I´m not from the UK. - It must be one of the best looking SUV´s on the market these days - I can not come to think about another luxury SUV that looks as clean, dynamic and having an absolutely great stance. The Jaguar F-pace is close, but lack the last parts for the elegance, details and streamlined composure.

  31. Can't imagine how much space an SUV version of the RAM would offer... (but maybe it exists IDK, properly something about some regulations for Trucks vs SUV´s or?)

  32. No, they do not look exactly the same – You might as well pick any two objects that serve the same purpose and say they look exactly the same. Car models are made to serve certain target group needs, therefore they are usually formed within the same dimensions and the production cost are managed in the way that the car can be offered within a certain price range. If you have little or no affiliations or emotions for the looks of example a car, you just pick the cheapest one, since it will properly get the job done anyways. On the other hand, if you are able to see the differences or have brand affiliation you most certainly will not pick just any of the offers. Scroll back in the video to the 4 cars in mention and take a second look – not one of them has the same headlight design, not one of them has the same C-Pillar design, not of them has the same shoulder line, not one of them has the same grill design, not one of them have the same side intake design – but yes they do all have four wheels, the engine sits in the front and therefore they all have a grill, they all have four doors because that is rather practical etc. etc. – What you state is simply wrong; "exactly" is far from "similar" or "alike" – They are all important cars for the manufacturers, they were all going through a design process by different design departments and individuals wanting to reach the same target group – Therefore none of them look completely different in the base dimensions and overall form – but it is also the reason they do not look exactly the same. Nearly Everybody has an opinion on design, but most do not have any clue about it at all – Design is not wildfire decoration exercise but a complex combination of many inputs and elements that intentionally have to serve a particular goal, within specifications, demands and needs, while at the same time create a difference to the competition.

  33. The kit on the Tesla looks great. Really cool wheels 👍

  34. This thing is quick – 4.4 Sec to 100Km/h in a 5 seater SUV with 4 wheel drive for about 33 British K´s – I find that quite impressive even that I do not fancy SUV´s. I do look quite decent for an SUV – good stance and a simple sharp profile.

  35. No, they are not the same car. They are cars competing in the same segment and are very close in many aspects but they are not the same car.

  36. Sorry I´m a BMW fan and I do not agree to your statement. The E-class looks like E-class and that is not bad. The big S Coupe is a beautiful luxury Coupe with a 12 in it - Can not see why that does not fit totally into the MB brand and line up. The AMG GT has a classical layout and its nimbler, more accessible and more sportscar than the SLS - Surely it´s not an ugly car by any standard and it has good driving dynamics. The AMG45 is a modern hatchback layout, up to par with its competitors for style and performance. Okay the new SLC 43 I am not a fan off - it´s a kind of goofy, but you can´t win em all can you. And the SUV - well there is worse looking and better looking and the same for dynamics. Over the last years Mercedes have tried out a lot of styling exercises which is more than can be said about several competitors with some exceptions. Personally I don´t like Mercedes much - I can not identify with the bold luxury statement of Mercedes and would even make argument with many MB drivers and buyers - Never the less MB are doing great stuff for their buyers and they keep trying out stuff for exterior design. Like all other in the segment they go Turbo because of the need to regulate emissions one way or another - even that a V12 Biturbo can hardly be stated as a regulatory intent. I do not understand that there should be no respect for the AMG brand in general.

  37. Yes in this trim the Passat is a more clean cut and slightly more modern than the AUDI, which certainly does not fair well in red - and the AUDI will benefit visually from having larger wheels - The Passat somehow does not really need it.

  38. The VELAR looks sublime, absolutely a beautiful SUV with elegant dynamics. It will be hard to compete for looks by its rivals. Certainly some other Brands should be happy that Range Rover "only" produces SUV´s as they always have.

  39. I like the M6 Gran Coupe much better than this new 8 Series – Something with the stance, the front wheel overhangs and the hood to A-Pillar connection that keeps nagging my eyes.

  40. Yes I think its close. Considering that Volvo went bankrupt and had to start almost from new creating an entire revised DNA and new platforms - They have come pretty far in the time they had. It´s not a revolution like Tesla, but there are buyers that will take certain Volvo´s over German rivals and that must be considered an achievement from the old Swedish brand.

  41. "Sportage, not Sportage" or "Biscuit, not Biscuit"...

  42. - In fact it does suck, it´s about the worst name i have seen for while... PS - It also made me laugh ;D

  43. With the current fuel prices I’d take the Jimney for sure - add something me off-road tires and viola 🖖😆

  44. Pretty Fresh and good looking. I particularly like how they added all these small details like the storage for sunglasses etc. – They were thinking how can we solve this while keeping the price fairly low. I would take this over a Citroen Cactus.

  45.  @arashk1849  The Video was not that long.

  46. It always goes like that – I can not think of one car that has gotten smaller since it´s the first version – Even the Fiat 500 is larger. But maybe I have forgotten one or two idk...

  47. Impressive space for a small SUV and it looks really good.

  48. Great review! - And this SUV is entertaining and it looks pretty good – really good proportions, nothing appears weird or forced in the design – Alfa did a great job with some help from Ferrari, but who would complain about that. I´d like to see a VS between this and the RR SVR and perhaps a third contender on track. No doubt the SVR will have more off-road capabilities but for sporty driving dynamics, it would be interesting to see.

  49. I agree, it is not gold but Bronze and I do wonder why they did not add that to the Infotainment Digital Display highlight colour.

  50. Mazda´s new Design DNA started about 10 years ago with some excellent concept cars – They laid out the design foundation for all later Mazda´s and it certainly paid off. Mazda´s design is far more consistent than any other of the Asian brands. Take a quite interesting brand like Honda – They put out cars that are as different as night and day – Super Sport extreme styling vs "I am an old grandpa and I like this car".
