Rather stick to my old golf
I think the Enyaq got rid of the base spec model so the starting price is pretty much the same.
I really like the look of the front, idk is it not cool if it's generic? To me the original Enyaq looked a bit like it had been driven into a wall with such a useless grill. Sorry Jim in this occasion I prefer the up coming Enyaq
I had an Enyaq on a PCP for 3 years.
Good car. Not outstanding like most of the motoring press would have you believe.
Rock hard suspension and uncomfortable seats. Not a great combination. Other than that performance was pretty good, space was excellent and build quality better than expected.
Prefer the face on the new one.
Picked up mine before prices went up and squeezed in the old final Gov grant of ยฃ2.5k. Upper spec meant I paid about ยฃ35k for a car selling at ยฃ42k a matter of weeks later.
Thought Iโd done well until I discovered it was worth ยฃ17k 3 year later having completed 3000 less than the agreed 30k miles agreed at the outset.
Listen to Jim folks – with BEVs โLease new or buy used!โ
Now leasing a Cupra Born v3. Happy.
Hi I recently (almost 3 months now)moved to the UK, and Iโm not able to get any cars on lease, PCP OR ON HPC,
So my question Do we have an option for rent to own or some other mean to get a car decent car on a monthly payment?
The new Twingo should sell pretty well imo
๐๐๐. Thanks Jim
Bad that we have to provide a trigger warning for those upset. Even Rory Reid had to come out with a video basically saying โdonโt shoot the messengerโ.
He too is sick of people having a go for only reviewing electrics. Thatโs what theyโre bringing to market, thatโs what they are launching. Thatโs where the news is. What else we supposed to be tuning in for? The latest innovations in gearing ratios for steam traction?
Great variety of news as always Jim. Many thanks as always mate ๐
I've already seen a test drive review of this new electric Mazda 6e or EZ6 mentioned in the video. This Mazda is actually based on China's Changan Deepal L07 electric car.
At least if you choose the Mazda over the Telsa M3, you don't have to wake up each morning worrying about what the CEO said overnight on Twi.X.
Skoda Enyaq front end with tech deck looks way better IMO. More svelte. Not sure why manufacturers placing headlights under running lights, where more prone to muck. Generally VAG vehicles all look a little old fashioned (timeless some folk would say). Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder & all that.
Hi DNG, Is there a list of subโยฃ40k MRP EVs? Iโm thinking of what new EV cars, purchased from April 2025, will keep within the ยฃ10/195 VED band.
Thanks,don't apologise for being EV news heavy because that's where the news is. There will be very few new ICE cars or new engines etc to report on,but you can continue to report the steady sales decline of Stellantis.
The day of the smaller 150-200 mile range more basic EV is coming,the Frontera and Dacia are good examples.
ICE will disappear int he news as no new modยงels will happen in europe and in fact outrside of the US. So for those triggered as you say Jim will be slim pickings.
Stellantis and Honda have the same problem: price. There are better cars for the same money or less. Because we're immersed in late stage capitalism people will notice value. Honda need to look to Renault – The Renault 5 is everything the Honda e could have been.
Vauxhall producing a full electric car at the same price as a hybrid is a bit too late the hero! Batteries are now becoming cheap. Without a petrol engine the full EV should be cheaper than the hybrid, which has twice the complexity with parallel systems. They need to aim at the same prices as no frills ICE cars.
Another thing that puts people off a Tesla is the owner of the company ๐
Where I live, I have maybe 30 odd public chargers. But I also have a house I can charge it at.
Where I have to regularly travel has zero chargers ๐
So many new smaller EVs coming to market. In my opinion this is exactly what the market needs.
that Nissan Micra's front end looks like it's been chain smoking weed
12.1 seconds? That's ridiculous. My 1978 Toyota Celica, which was misfiring on 1 cylinder, cost me 600 bucks, and needed a wheel alignment and a service, was faster than that.
We definitely DON'T need any more underpowered buzz boxes for 20 or 40k. Twingo? What are we, 5 foot tall and 14 years old? Can we have some cards that can fit more than a pair of sneakers?
Great Jim
Luxury car tax should be 60k start….mazda 6e looks amazing some weird charge figures
Jim ,do you think that manufactures that produces ev cars should have a legal obligation that they fit there own charging stations like Tesla , seems to me they only interested in flogging you the car ,
Totally concur – the CEO of Peugeot has it in her own hands to stimulate the market – by reducing the price of their products. I suppose for Vauxhall the real problem is that their EVs aren't very reliable. Skoda seem to be emulating Audi – their designs are quite conservative.
Honda have lost the plot with their pricing for a while now. Whereas they used to have strong residuals this is not looking to be the case now. Take the CR-V Advance Tech plug-in hybrid. ยฃ54k new. Can pick up a 23 plate with 3500 miles for ยฃ35k. The previous Gen 5 CR-V is holding its value better than the Gen 6 and can only think this is down to their new pricing policy.
Honda would appear to have the same designers as Jaguar.
Potholes๐คฌhere in Northyorkshire they are rapidly joining up to form craters!!!

Damn, that Mazda interior looks like a Bentley!

Great vid Jim
