I'm a younger driver and basically aiming for this to be my second car, saved up almost enough through various jobs around uni and just waiting for insurance to be realistic lol, this review sold me thank you bro

Hello Like the video, just would like to say, I have a 12 year old Cee'd , still going strong not failed an MOT yet !, , since I have had it and that's over 10 years ,great choice .

235i owner - 47k miles. As a daily it does it all. As the review alludes to changing driving modes makes a difference to the car. Fuel economy, I average 30mpg. Spirited driving is closer to 20mpg and I’ve generally averaged 36mpg on long motorway runs. Not much has went wrong for me. I had a coil pack go which was a cheap fix and the overflow hose snap, another easy fix. Rear tyres I’ve always went for softer compounds (GoodYear Super sports) and average about 15k for the rears. The fronts I go with a harder compound like GoodYear Asymmetric 3 and get almost double the mileage. I keep a close watch on tyre pressures and regularly adjust. Never had an issue in the snow or extreme wet. Generally in the wet comfort mode still allows for a decent amount of acceleration to overtake the usual people doing 40mph in a national because it’s wet. The car is a pleasure to drive in sports or sports + and manual paddles on twisty roads. If you don’t put into manual you’ll drop gears when you’re adding throttle which is undesirable mid bend. If you have sufficient space, put the car in sports +, knock it into manual and at ~4K revs you can do some impressive power slides. Without a LSD drifts are a bit sketchy so stick to power slides. The 8 speed auto gear box is extremely impressive. It’s buttery smooth. It’s no duel clutch, but it’s not far off. The sound of the car is a massive reason the car is so fun. The induction noise even stock is awesome and the burbles are awesome. Put the car in eco and it closes the exhaust flaps and you won’t annoy anyone going through a village. I’ve driven a stage 2 tuned 435d and although it was slightly faster without the roaring sound the 235i makes it was dull. There’s just something about a RWD car accelerating hard compared to a FWD or a 4WD system

It's just a Gt package for the interior and exterior i suppose because there is also a Ceed Gt with 204hp.

as an M235I owner and driver of multiple cars, I think the M235i just an easier car to push to the limit on local roads. Burns Mustang 5.0s off the line, and handles better than most cars. Lower maintenance, 90% of the power of the M2. Its a win

$15k???

Under 15k... NOT the cheapest M235i here in the Netherlands being 30 GRAND...

Great review this will be my next car👌

You need to add negative points as well otherwise it's a commercial not a review.

Dont like the red think brown looks the best

More like 30k with low miles

Funny how in Finland the prices start from 30k xd

ive had mine since end of 2019 and it still puts a smile on my face.

Man I love this car. Hoping to get one used in about three years time with some decent warranty left on it. Great review too! I was just surprised by the somewhat abrupt ending. 😌

what is the fuel consuption?

Darcy check out the Tata(owners of JLR) smallest suv Punch hitting a truck , absolute toughness ruclips.net/user/shortsyx6pkpP9J1w?si=CmV1YTR3OuSNd0rI

Darcy if you ever want to do a review on an E85 BMW Z4 2.5L then yr more than welcome to have mine for a few days....stunning cars 😊

Using a USB you can update the iDrive to fix the album and song not changing

I think these are absolute bargains. I recently had the opportunity, and was fortunate to be in the position, that I could buy a mint, 1 owner, low mileage, M2. I previously owned a tuned M140i, which has the amazing B58 engine and ZF8. I don't think the N55 is quite as good, but still a great engine compared to it's rivals. The OG M2 is a wonderful car, the steering is so much better than even the M140i, the suspension is so sorted and settles instantly over bumps, and of course the wider track and rubber makes it corner on another level. One small point, you said sport+ takes the traction control off, which is not correct. It makes it less obtrusive, so it's sort of half on still and will save you, but allows the car to be a bit more playful. Only in traction off mode by holding down the traction button for a few seconds does it turn everything off (well not EVERYTHING because even in traction off mode there is still abs and some other sort of help).

I’ve had my 225d for about 4 years. In metallic grey and also with red interior. Again, i wasn’t sure about the red leather (in my head thinking it’s too boy racer - I’m over 50) . I’m getting on average 46mpg and mid 50’s mpg on a run. While not as quick or nice sounding as yours, it still gives a good punch 0-60 in 6.3 seconds apparently. Fits 4 adults easily but is a bit crashy over potholes, even on comfort mode.

Hi, looking forward to the new channel. Will you be doing some classic content and is the Ol 'Man going to join you?

Brilliant video again mate , channels definitely gonna blow up if you keep videos like these coming 👍

Eyebrook ?👀

I had a 2006 Kia Sedona. Worst vehicle I ever owned bar none. Transmission self destructed just out of warranty and cost me $2k+. Leaked oil from everywhere an engine could leak and I ended up dumping it for $800. That being said, it does appear that Kia have upped their game lately. And their prices.

Great to see you do cars as well ! I love your presentation style already, so you can review a lot of things !

I've just popped over from your moto channel. I've had a BMW 335d (E92) for years and years, she's been a wonderful car, but the time is coming for her to go. I've been living in France for a while now, so I've been looking at 3 - 5 year old cars on the French used market...but there's a problem here! For some years now, the French have had a ridiculous government policy, whereby you pay a one-off tax when you buy a brand new car off the showroom floor, that tax is based on power output (and engine type, plus some other minor factors). You'd think that emissions would be the primary taxation factor. As a result, cars are expensive here, powerful cars are eye-wateringly expensive and used prices are inflated, as a result of first owners trying to recuperate some of those tax losses. A 3 - 5 year old 335d (Touring) is unattainable for me, I'm not spending 60,000€ on a three year old car. So, I revisited what I like in a car, small/medium in size, hatchback or estate for my current practical needs...and plenty of power. I've always liked the Ceed N, so I took a look, it turns out that Kia only brought it to France for a couple of years, then they stopped, because nobody wanted to pay 6,000€ in tax for a Kia. Long story, still very long, it looks like the best compromise of setting my wallet on fire, having the right car body shape and power is a 4 year old Volvo V60 T8. I know this comment is a load of waffle, but my rant shows a bit of engagement on your new channel which will be good for the algorithm. You're welcome🤣 Great review by the way, keep at it and I think you'll get some good viewing numbers👍

Great review, looks a nice car and heated steering wheel and seats are great in the Winter for sure 👍🏼
