      It depends. Historically Far Eastern brands tend to be more expensive in Germany, than in Poland, but the Kona costs the same here and there. And yes, this highly specced model costs as much, as a base FWD RAV4.

  • @ianstewart2723
    @ianstewart2723 Před 2 dny

    One of my annoyances is when you buy a car from a dealer and I’m not doubting they’ve carried out a service, but if it’s not a make the dealer normally sells they can’t reset the “service due 🔧 “ For instance a VW dealer selling a Range Rover. You have to go a Range Rover dealer and they charge silly amounts just to clear the 🔧 . It takes seconds but they’ll charge you an hours labour or insist you get it serviced by them even if you bought a service plan with the VW dealer (VW used only as an example) That’s my moan for the day 😒.

    • @MarekDrivesENG
      @MarekDrivesENG Před 2 dny

      Unless it's a fault, clearing which requires plugging in a 50 euro OBD2 scanner, a simple service warning can usually be cleared by pressing buttons in a sequence. It's a 30 seconds Google search. With that being said, some faults are recurring, so a garage may simply not bother clearing it, because it will just pop up again. And if we're talking about an older car with lots of electronics, it will just keep displaying faults, even though it may be in good technical condition. It could be anything from a benign tarnished electrical connection somewhere, to a failing component. For example I recall the dealer just unplugged a passenger airbag warning light in my old Peugeot 306, because his diagnostics said it was fine.

    I recently had the experience of buying a used car in Poland. As a foreigner, it was not easy but could go through everything with my Polish wife. One more tip I would add here is to ask the seller for the VIN of the car and pay 10-20 euros online to get the vehicle reports. I shortlisted 5 cars and all of them had hidden serious accident records. I shortlisted another set of 5 cars and only one came out clean with yearly mileage records. I was shocked at how deceiving the used car market can be.

    • @MarekDrivesENG

    • @MarekDrivesENG
      @MarekDrivesENG Před 2 dny

      There's also a free Polish database for cars registered in Poland, so as long as the car has been here for a while, there's some history to look at. However since most used cars are imported from Germany, there's a good reason why they are cheaper here, then they are in Germany :)

      Yup. It's the silly emissions regulations. A car weighing approx. 1350 kg can emit 95g of CO2/km. A heavier car can emit more, but a lighter car can emit less. So making small, relatively efficient city cars is too expensive. Instead carmakers put tiny engines into bigger cars to show they emit less in WLTP testing. However ultimately the customer is left with a turd of a powertrain.

Anyways, I got the latest car that did not have this so I only have to: 1. Change from Eco to Normal driving mode (button near the gear lever). 2. Disable Stop / Start function (button on the left of the steering wheel, was near the gear lever before). 3. Disable Lane Keep Assist (button on the steering wheel, was on the left of the steering wheel before). My question is: 1. Why not have all the buttons in the same place, on the left of the steering wheel let's say. You have 4 buttons and each function can be in the same place and easily accessible. 2. Why not have the speed assist be disabled by a button in the said place? I'll just drive this i30 until they get their head of the their behind because it seems they need time to correct issues they just introduced and the EU lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves for ruining cars. Hopefully aftermarket software programming will be available so we can get around this bulls&&t in the near future.

      I don't know if and how ISA is implemented in Tesla, but I know Mercedes has a single touch button on the screen, so that's the best solution next to BMW's hold the set button on the steering wheel for a couple of seconds. While there are some guidelines regarding ISA online, I supposed carmakers got more detailed memos on how to implement it, and some of them maybe assumed it's a good thing, and people will not want to disable it 🤣 Toyota understood 14 clicks when parked is asking for trouble, so now you can do the 14 clicks while driving. Safety third.

    The 2022 Hyundai i30 had air recirculation while using the washer fluid if the car was equipped with Auto AC.

      @@MarekDrivesENG I know because I was using Mol's overpriced washer fluid which was cherry scented and I could not smell it. After that I was investigating and you can change this option in the touchscreen menu. Afterwards I switched to the Lidl's washer fluid which smells bad but is quite good so it worked out ok.

    I was considering this car but hard plastic and specific exterior design put me off. Instead I got a Nissan QQ J12 Tekna. Materials in the cockpit are much nicer and design is more appealing to me. Yes, it is not that economical but I feel that with Nissan I'm getting a car from the class above for the same price. Excellent work Marek. Regards from Serbia 🇷🇸

      Thanks! Interesting. For me the Qashqai's a bit vanilla, but you do get more car. Kona is a Juke competitor.

    Probably a better car to drive than the Niro but not sure I could live with messy styling and what idiot thought it a good idea to put those huge light clusters in the most impact likely area of the bumpers.

    Bought my V8 550 BHP in 2015, Still have it, mainly sits on the drive looking beautiful 48k miles, but I can’t let it go, the sound when it starts the ease of driving the speed, this car will never come around again 👌

    As far as the noise of objects in contact with the plastic in the center console is concerned, in my father's Mercedes W206 it's the same......and it costs a few euros more

    I was kind of interested in this car but at 4:31 i looked at the dashboard and... It looks like a cheap car for the 70's or 80's! So basic, so spartan, and so bland! Edit: Sorry Marek, I love your videos but i can't look at this car.
