Car Babble
Великобритания
Добавлен 15 дек 2021
Car Babble is what happens when a car enthusiast watches one too many car reviews on RUclips and thinks, “hmmm, maybe I could do that?”
If you’re looking for in-depth, unbiased and lighthearted reviews of new and used cars that normal people actually might buy, this is the place for you.
Full disclosure: I am just a guy with a passion for cars. I am not a racing driver or a mechanic and try my best to talk about only things I know about. If I get something wrong, I am happy to be corrected.
Oh, and I have an day job, so make videos when I can, but if you enjoy this content, please do give it a LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and hit the notification bell so you never miss me babbling about cars...

Online Car Auctions – here’s why you need to be careful selling this way… #storytime #rant #usedcars
I’ve sold cars to online auctions before and had a good experience, but after the story I got from a friend who tried to do the same, clearly it’s not all good and so I thought this was a story worth sharing and commenting on.

Tesla Model 3 Long Range - owner’s driving review in my backyard… the Scottish Highlands!

As part of my ownership series of my 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, I wanted to make something special out of talking about the driving experience of this car so I took it up to the nearby Scottish Highlands for a scenic blast where I share my thoughts on what owning this car is like from behind the wheel (and hooning it over a country road!)

Thinking about buying 16-18 reg. now in 2024/25. Beautiful car.
Have my vRS 6 months now. No problems with the infotainment.
Happy I’ll look this up someone’s literally asking me for that and Sam. I’ll pay you back later. And he’s making a really big deal out of it. I’m like I just gave you the car history Happy to know that it’s a scam. Thanks man you’re awesome.
This literally just happened to me asking me to do a car check to be honest it’s the buyers responsibility to do the relevant checks if your word is not good enough I said iam not clicking the link as the company doesn’t show up on google and said I think it’s a scam then he left the chat
Great video pal’ the comfort in the seat I have 13 model and back massage if I play with it!
Same car!!
Love it
Lol , as soon as i got my Tesla , home , the kids jumped in 8 - 11 , know exactly how to work all the farts etc ...Utube shorts. The driving game with the steering wheel also !!! Kids excited being kids , just like yours Tesla software is thr tops
I have used motorway a few times… lately it has totally changed. The first call after jumping through all the hoops is blatantly a rep that is paid on reducing your value. This person told me they had viewed my pictures and adjusted value according to the alloy scratches. There are zero scratches. They then told me that the shot of the service history in the cars on board system was not proof of service and said it was going to list with no service history! They have totally changed. Never again. A year ago, great system. Now…..total scammers. Kirsty did well to avoid them.
They're absolute torque monsters!!! So fun to drive.
Big time!!
I will watch later but I recently used Carwow and was happy with the service. The car didn’t meet reserve and was then put on buy if now. Dealer made an offer and I accepted. Collected few days later by agency driver who barely looked at it (night before I was out with the t cut covering scratches on the roof)
Well done Kirsty,know someone else that had a very similar experience and they got told to jog on as well .sadly lots of cowboys still in the motor industry.
These buying tactics are unacceptable, good on her. As soon as anyone arrives at my house to buy a car I know I have the advantage (as they have travelled hours usually). Another lesson works the other way around if you are a buyer, negotiate BEFORE you set off, not whilst you are there, you don't have much leverage otherwise. That company probably lost £400 in time and travel to view that car, and they deserved that loss.
So cowboys are still alive and well in the car business! My personal experience of Motorway was much better than this, but well done Kirsty!
I currently own a LandCruiser and it doesn't miss a beat. But I'm looking at a SQ7 2018 as I fancy some fast but also still big for the family. I had an Audi A3 sline in 2013 and it cost me a fortune to run. I have PTSD from that car. Lol. So not sure i want to go through that again.
LandCruiser - about as dependable car as you could ever get!
You arent saving any planet with an EV… how are these made again! Have you seen the videos with all the children… EV should pay more because of this and for dragging our piwer grid down because of the way our government is going with net zero… another complete con!
All valid arguments
Hopefully Reform win the next election and scrap the ice ban 👌🇬🇧
Would love to see that scrapped if they can't remove the hypocrisy over everything
Any owner thoughts on the petrol 250 variant?
Sorry mate, not driven that one but i think the diesel suits this style of car, especially if you do long journeys.
I have a 2020 M3 (Calafonian) and I do use chill mode as I am not a speed freak. The chill mode makes the car easier to drive and is kinder to to tyres and drivetrain. I had a crappy Astra Tourer diesel before. That car had crap handling and was wallowey. The Tesla is a massive improvement in handling and of course performance. The Tesla is a great car for long journeys, I can drive for hours and hours with no fatigue. I do find you have to use the adaptive cruise control as it is near impossible to judge your speed in the Model 3. I rarely use the autosteer as the nags are too snnoying.
Definitely a step up from the Astra Tourer! 😎
basically that scam is getting people to pay for a fake vehicle report
Yeah I think likely!
Well I " was" looking forward to this review, but once I heard all the road NOISE, I turned you off, shame .
Yip, nothing I can do about that so it's a shame you switched off because of that.
My diesel car is free tax until next year then will go to £20 a year mine is 2017 Ford fiesta
Registered after April 1st 2017?
@ before it 31st march 2017
Why shouldn't EV owners pay road tax? the tax is for the vehicle to be on the public road not whether you use it or not.
I didn't say they shouldn't pay it?
@@car_babble I never said you did either.
I've a Model Y and yes, I recommend anyone to test drive before you have an "opinion " , but it's the absolutely criminal charges for insurance. For the life of me I can't see how they can justify it. Just like Veterinarians, they can charge what they want!
Yep £700 best I could get admiral seem to be the cheapest but only using multi cover
Always great Tesla car content 🎉
Glad you enjoy it Mark! 😊
@car_babble can u do a video on matrix lights
@markdennis7119 it's on my to do list now it's proper dark. Will need to think how to make it so it looks good but will get it done over winter 👍
@@car_babble as not many 🚗 Tesla videos out there in UK on RUclips showing how effect the lights are. U be in top league like carwow
@markdennis7119 ace I'll definitely do it!
With the cost of an EV, rising electric prices, and road tax, they are no longer the attractive purchase they originally were. However saying that, I would never ever go back to a diesel or petrol, EV's are an absolute joy to drive.
Yeah the value has eroded but I agree, I just love my Tesla.
Just like Diesel scam, the government scamming ! because this was never said for existing cars. New cars I can understand
40 grand is 40grand! It's not the cost of entry to car ownership or unavoidable, it's the cost of buying if you have unrealistic expectations of what you can afford and deserve. Far cheaper options exist.. Second hand, other fuels.... I suspect behind this for a lot of people is a sense of entitlement 🙄
40k in cash is a lot of money but on monthly payments of some kind it's not going to necessarily seem like that. If you go PCP you just pay off the depreciation.
These are a bit of a steal at the minute around £21K. Worth a look I think!
Most definitely 😁
Enjoy your electric vehicles come April when you're going to pay tax😂,, suckers, did you trust the government 😂
🥱
The speed boost you can try for 48 hours and then refunded 😉 and it looks so much better with the Uber turbine wheel covers and they protect the rims well worth 70 quid
I didn't know this!! Now that could be worth pursuing!!!
@@car_babble yep I’m just waiting for a weekend off then I’ll do the speed boost put the £1500 on a CC and should be refunded before the next bill,what do the kids think of the light show ? Now it’s getting darker put duelling Teslas on a usb stick and be amazed especially 2 Teslas together
First time using my 0-60 timing gear. Wasn't perfect but hopefully added something!
What a fantastic road trip! I have been thinking about one - it's a cracking car. How is the refinement in general? I have a hybrid which is good at motorway speeds, but a little noisy at low revs.
Not often mentioned is all JLR models are made with aluminum so are much lighter and more economical than their rivals and in 20 years can still look like new while rivals like Mercs are in scrap yards peppered with rust. Also remember aluminum doors closing will sound "tinnier" in your very scientific "door close quality test"
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing. Interesting....
At some point only the rich and the people on welfare can afford to live in this country
If it’s not Scottish, it’s craaaap. The wifey asked all the right questions 😅
😀
What a brilliant review. Pure brilliance. So much info delivered. Plus with a Scottish accent. Excellent.
Thank you kindly!
estate cars are far better looking and way more practical !!!
I love estates!!!
Minor corrections. It's 150hp and 340nM being the facelift. The preface lift is 150hp and 320nm. The previous gen engine from the Golf 6 has 140hp. And it is a wet clutch not a dry clutch, it needs DSG oil changes every 40.000 miles. Other than that great review mate👏. I own one myself and it is a great car, altough as you have said the steering being light and the suspension being a tad on the soft side it's not that appealing for spirited driving. Changing the coilovers definitely makes a big difference. Cheers
Thanks for the comment/ corrections. Unfortunately I don't get given a press brief or sheet on cars I review so occasionally get things wrong but I did verify this car's registration and thought I had the right stats.
Quarter of a billion pounds to be received by DVLA this April for EV emissions tax
Wowsers
So ev buyers lost a whack of what they paid new out the box , paying more insurance annually than a equivalent ice or plug in hybrids , 😢 plus the public chargers cost same as fuelling up a ice engine in miles value. Stupid greedy foolish shortsighted dvla and government have removed all the carrots 🥕😢😢 so the forward looking big GREEN plan to convert to a lower emissions country is going to fail 😢 . My brother in law bought in 2016 a french deisal suv has done a 100,000 miles and doesnt pay f all in emission tax , i mean road tax . Why the f don't dvla address THAT INSTEAD , AYE ????? WA-- - - ERS . I drove a deisal seat leon up to 2016 , 20 pound a year RT , lol. Ps should be 50 quid for a ev per annum
A lot of upset people over this for sure.
@@car_babble i say go full-on against the amount the dvla are quoting for april 25 , THERES OVER 200,000 DEISAL EURO 5 OR 6 registerd from 2009 to 2019 THAT EITHER pay 0 ROAD TAX or up to a staggering piddly 35 pounds p year , these are vehicles that actually pollute roadside toxic fumes and the longer they remain road worthy the more they pollute. 50 POUND PER YEAR FOR ALL EVS UNDER 40 K AND A HUNDRED FOR OVER 40 K fair AND simple😇
Got my letter through the post today. I've been a EV driver since April this year. This change is a joke!
Wow you only just got the letter!?
How much is it worth . Also if one bought it at 80k miles ,when will thing start going wrong / get expensive?
Sorry mate, this wasn't my car but Google is your friend for reliability stats and valuations.
Can’t wait to get mine
Hope you like it!
2.0 liter 4-cylinder?
Yes
Unfortunately the road tax doesn't go towards maintaining the roads. It just goes in to the government cash account.
Yes, I did clarify this in a comment but you are right.
@@car_babble I did see that when I read down later. Thanks
Best review thanks so much
My pleasure!
In case anyone missed it, the ECS of £410 per year is on top of the standard rate of tax for the particular vehicle. Also, if the list price of a new vehicle is, for arguments sake £40,001 for instance but, you get a discount from the dealer so you pay less than list price, you still have to pay the ECS for five years.
Good clarification 👍
what would a pre 2001 electric van pay? (i have a 1998) What about a 1990s electric milk float? Currently zero. How are they going to do this?
Nothing currently!
I get it, but in all honesty, pretty poor review. This car is a small City Car. I don't know what you were expecting but your not going to get a great car at any entry level. Especially with small cars. You need to try the N Line to get the full idea of what this model can offer. Especially if your used to driving a gas guzzling Sante Fe. Sorry.
Do you own this car by any chance? I tried to make it clear that my issues were with that spec of car. The engine performance was poor but base spec infotainment was my main issue. I don't also understand how because something is a city car that means the interior should be short changed? I also explained at the outset that I had limited time with the car. It wasn't crap because I have a Santa Fe. I've been in less cheap feeling city cars.
