Hello, is rear seat can contains 3 adults comfortably?
Depends on your definition of comfort. I say below at lest BMW X5 three passengers abreast will not be comfortable. Others say a Renault Megane has a very wide bench seat.
I don't know if prices in Germany/Poland are higher, but you can get a decent trim level of the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid in Bulgaria for that money.
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.
How do I like it? Very much. I don't know if I've ever driven anything within my financial abilities that would be so pleasurable. I want one. If all goes as planned, I will have one by the end of the summer. Great review though!
Go for it!
This is not a review , its a hit piece. A review should be balanced and should highlight the good and the bad. You just don't like it. Poor review indeed.
In time when electric car craze is slowing down same as sales and a lot of manufactures are rethinking decisions they have made... Every other review is electric car even though public is in vast majority against. So now we are happy even with this type of hybrid car reviews
Hi Marek when are you reviewing the 2024 Dacia Duster ?
As soon as I can get my hands on one.
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 😒.
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.
Yes, checking the VIN is also a good idea, albeit there are now scammers "cleaning" the car's VIN history or "borrowing" VINs from other cars.
This car has the rear legroom only capable of transporting really thin children. Even then they will suffer.
If you're in Germany, just ask for the TÜV or go do an instant TUV check preferably if there is a miss maintenance record or no record. check the registration nos on car fact check websites, doesn't cost a bunch. to do so, If you're churning out thousands of €, you should be able to pay for such fees.
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 :)
Bentleys are much more beautiful and faster
I need you to go to France and buy me a 2CV. Red please. I'll pay you back next Tuesday.
There was a time I wanted to buy something French and quirky, like a Citroen GS or Visa, but the French will not respond to messages from anyone, who's not French. And my basic knowledge of French didn't help. I had a suspicious name, so I was probably a scammer. I should have got an e-mail address like pierre.dupont@minitel.fr :)
@@MarekDrivesENG 😂
Dear Marek, I really enjoy your informative and straight to the point reviews. Without seeming indiscreet, I want to ask what brand of car you would recommend for someone looking for a used car. A car with an 1.8 to 2.0 L diesel engine, automatic transmission, 170 hp or more and no more than 90.000 Km. Best regards, MK
Thanks! I don't do used car advice. Also your criteria is so broad you should input it into a used car website, see what comes out, narrow it down to what you're vaguely interested in, and then investigate on case-by-case basis.
Dear Marek, thank you for finding the time to follow up on my question. In case you can recommend a pre-owned car website, could you please let me know. Wishing you all the best, MK

Problem is that timing belt is wet and it is costly to maintain and replace in 1.2 PureTech Petrol engine.
AFAIK it's neither costly nor difficult, but has to be done well ahead of scheduled maintenance.
I'd love one of these, but I worry it'll get stolen.
Is that a problem in your area?
@@MarekDrivesENG I desperately need my 17 yo Citroen C1 cool replacing. I have heard one or two reports of cars 'disappearing' in my area, but most are still sat there the next day!
So, nobody wants to steal them :)
Going to a Toyota dealer tomorrow. I'm terrified 😨. Lol. I'm a lone woman too. Just got to suck it up and do it. I'll let you know how I get on. Pray for me. Lol! 🙏 Love your video btw.
Thanks! You'll be fine.
Did he say 1.2L ?
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.
Beauty, but the price is a bit high for "not premium brand"
Is there an Android Auto upgrade for the pre-LCI Countryman as well?
Yes, and apparently it's even easier to instal. You need to find the right one for your head unit. Preferably find a shop that does car audio, car alarm, etc. They'll find the right one for you, and install it properly. I've seen CZcams installation guides, but removing car trim the first time is not for the faint-hearted :)
The road presence of the velar is 🔥. Beautiful from all angles
Before purchasing DS5, check if you are not a peasants❤️
Laughing my ass off while watching this video😂😂😂😂
Most amusing review of the Celerio I’ve found on here! 😂
I love my 22 Outback XT with the 2.4L turbo. (US)
This looks like a step back in many ways...just when I heard the door closing I was like ...what the hell did they do with all the sound proofing, pretty sure they removed the double glazed acoustic side windows (present in the top trim on the previous one I think... since others on the platform have it)...I'm gonna guess this is probably lounder by a good margin compared to the outgoing model(both in top trims).
This is not Renault's top effort :)
Thank you for the Android link. We just took delivery of our Mini Countryman JCW in January and I was really disappointed that the heated steering wheel and electric seats option was deleted. And no Android Auto in this day and age is appalling. Love the car but so things drive me mad
Interesting content. Love to hear if you find an android auto conversion. Cheers Joe

@@joeclifford4953 Electric seats we can do without, because my wife and I like to sit low, so we just slide the seat back and forth. Lack of steering wheel would have been a dealbreaker for me, but Android Auto can be easily installed. I'm sure you'll find a specialist in your area, who sells those Chinese units, and installs them. It's a 1-2 hr job, if they know what they're doing. Lovely car. I think we'll be keeping ours, when the lease ends, because there's nothing else out there this size and style, that isn't either electrified or electric.
Great review!
Thanks!
It would look great if it weren’t for the plastic cladding and goofy headlights
IMO the cladding and the lights give this car a shape, but most people commenting seem to hate it. Interesting.
Imagine a person buying this. You must have no desire for style what so ever.
Wayyyyy to complicated
I love this car. I can’t wait to buy it
You know the speed warning was handled bad when Tesla did it better. You can one touch disable it in the Tesla but you cannot do it in the Hyundai. It's counterintuitive. 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.
And nobody knew :)
@@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.
🤣 So you discovered it the other way round.
I've never seen ignis in the philippines.
If I'm not wrong these xomzs with Renault engine! Nothing from Mercedes in real?
The 1.3 petrol and 1.5 diesel are from Renault.
This car is completely pointless. It is priced in good trim as high as the a Tucson. 41k ??? You must be out of your mind.
Good review. Nothing special jumps out for this vehicle.
A Jack-in-the-box car would be creepy :)
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.
@@MarekDrivesENG Someone likes Vanilla... someone likes... 🍋
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 👌
It is really UGLY!
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 don't recall W206 being that bad, but I'll check it out tomorrow. AMG C63 is on the menu.
You should know better ... VW Golf Customers would never by a KONA .
Based on the Mk8 Golf I'd never buy a VW again.
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.
hate the exterior looks on this car. looks like they just had some parts and stuck them on the car.
I agree. But for me, the interior was an even bigger let down.
