Physical buttons are so underrated nowadays!
Exactly!
Agree
China style. No more swedish safety anymore 😢
Buy yourself a Nissan Ariya. It’s so much better without the iPad gimmicks.
No issues whatsoever on the battery percentage on long trips. Went on a 2300 km road trip with it the third day I had the car, battery percentage was accurate.
The volume buttons are a pain, I’ve found the best way to use them is to click once which turns the volume symbol black on the screen then if you click the volume up or down one click at a time it seems to register ok. Don’t have an issue with the mirrors and reversing due to the quality of the cameras. I’ve had no issue with the projected charge on Google maps navigation, just done a 3 hour round trip and it was accurate to the exact starting percentage both there and back. The attention monitor is my biggest gripe, it doesn’t seem to appreciate that you have to look to the right in the UK when you’re approaching roundabouts. Other than a couple of minor gripes I think it’s the best car I’ve ever owned, super quiet, sooth and comfortable and the Harmon Kardon sound system is amazing.
i wonder why all these stupid manufactures got together and decided to go with this route, it's crazy. vw implemented and everyone fucking hates it. do the people that design this shit not drive their own car?!?!
Had one of these for a day while my Volvo was having some work done. I found the Harmon Kardon logo on the sound bar reflects onto the windscreen if the suns out. I kept thinking it was a heads up display or that something was on the bonnet! I too missed some physical buttons. The car always told me off for not keeping my eyes on the road but it was because everything is in the tablet and takes ages to flick through to find what you want. However, that being said I agree, it’s a really nice car overall, super quiet, quirky interior and surprisingly quick off the mark.
I just discovered your channel and you got an instant subscriber. I like the way you go deep into details avoiding redundant topics.
Yes, Honest observations
Dear Kris, have you had the chance to try the Smart #3? I'm currently between the EX30 and the #3 do you have any suggestion software wise? thank you 🙂
When you move your brand to the entry level market, the cost cutting has to go deeper to be competitive. The software issues can be updated to improve the car if they choose to do so.
The explanation for buttons being removed is cost, of course, but there's no excuse for the irritating software. We were very keen on the EX30 but the lack of rear space means it's not a starter for us, and the frustrating software seals that. If and when we change our Polestar 2, it will probably be an XC40 Recharge, or - most likely - a Renault Scenic e-Tech, once it's been out a year or two so someone else can pay the depreciation! Thanks for the useful videos on the EX30 Kris, as everyone else is simply voting it the best EV in existence at the moment.
If you got Polestar 2 i whould say Polestar 3 is for you or Polestar 4. Or EX30 if want abit cheaper.
for 6 footers and above, there is no back seat. Why would they design a car that you, unless you are a child, cant fit in the back seat when the driver is 6ft.
This isnt even available in the USA yet. not till summer. Will be interesting to see if same issues
This is a really useful set of information. I was looking at the EX30 to replace my 5 year old BMW i3. So pleased I saw this, because the i3 is a fantastic little EV and has none of these annoyances, and the chances of finding the infotainment quirks on a test drive are minimal. Mmm, think I will be keeping the i3 after all; which 5 years of ownership has cost me one set of 4 new tyres at 37k miles, some screen wash and car cleaning products!
I got the Volvo EX30 orderd and geting it in 2 weeks. I got to have the car for 1 week up in north Sweden before i orderd it and what a car. Its a small suv so its not for the person WHO have the car full everyday of grown people but perfekt for 2 people with small kids. Nothing in this video is fair i think. I think i makin all things a biggerproblem then it is
I changed my mirror when I picked up my EX30 from Volvo, but I have never changed them again. I don't find myself needing alter my mirrors to reverse - there's a camera?
I'd prefer to have control over the volume rather than my passenger to be honest, but I do get the problems with volume control. But again, I don't change it that much for it to annoy me as much as you're annoyed.
Personally, we've had no complaints from the few passengers we've had in the back of the car, and I've found there's more room than many taxis I've used in the UK! But we are a couple so bought a car to suit us with only the occasional passenger. We also wanted to get a smaller car because the UK is plagued by giant SUVs - so knew that we'd not have a cavernous interior. To us it's perfect.
It's worth noting, the estimated distance on the car needs to learn your driving style and how it's used. Mine has become more accurate as its collected more data.
So, having owned mine for over a month, I have absolutely no regrets and gladly don;' have any of the annoyance with mine you do.
Also, I could be mistaken, but you can basically get access to whatever you want via voice control? Volume controls suck, but hey google. turn volume to 7. I've heard that the voice control can pretty much control, or get access to, the important things. IIRC, there is no Certified EPA on Mileage as of now.
It seems like most cars where you just got to get used to it, but also know what you're buying.
Thanks for your detail comment about actual user perspectation.
All of theses, except the back seat, can be fixed with a OTA update. The biggest surprise is the range prediction which was so good in the XC40 recharge is so bad now. Hopefully that’s just a software bug and easy fix
In other comment someone said he never have had this problem with his ex30
@@Marvilalovesame here with the one I borrowed for one week. I had nothing of the problems in it and didn’t even think about anything bad that is in this video.
Some owners are reporting very good range for EX30. It depends on many factors, the main one being how you drive.
I consider buying a twin motor ultra version (with all the bells and whistles :-)) What better options you suggest for a compact luxurious EV AWD? for a max price of 60k euros?
These quirks are the reason why I am contemplating getting the updated EX40 or EC40 instead of the EX30 to replace my 2022 C40 when it's lease expires next year.
After 2 years with the model Y I am quite comfortable to say not having a dashboard for speed in front of the driver is a major design flaw. My next car will have one. Oh and a working auto steering
Wow low SoC charging is a big problem, as is route planning. Software update will fix it, I hope. I agree I like a volume button/ knob.
For people saying this is a cheap Chinese car and not a Volvo please stop it and do some research. Volvo has put out videos on the teams of people that were involved in creating this car and they are out of Sweden. Just because Volvo is in the Geely group doesn't mean Geely is cheapening Volvos or compromising them. In fact, if Geely was so terrible and forcing Volvo to put in such low quality materials as some of you claim, why is the Zeekr X built on the same platform full of premium materials? Why would Geely cheapen Volvo and not Zeekr? Did it ever occur to you that Volvo is into making sustainable materials and are using textured plastics and other recyclable materials to make the cars more sustainable? THey've said that. And as far as being so called 'minimal," Volvo has been Scandinavian understated for decades. Now they use screens but having a fairly austere interior is nothing new to Volvo.
As for the platform, the SEA platform is a Geely platform. Geely hired an ex-Saab engineer, Kent Ove Bovellan, a Swede, to engineer this platform. So European know-how produced this platform. It's an excellent platform. The rest of the car is due to whatever Volvo chose in Gothenberg, Sweden. If it is cheap, it's Volvo Sweden that made it cheap, not Geely. And as for Geely, they like Swedish engineering. Their top designer is stationed in Sweden. Some of their engineers and tech guys are also positioned in a Swedish company they founded. It used to be called CEVT and now it is called Zeekr Technology Europe. Zeely is branching out to add more European know how in at least some of its brands. zeekrtech.eu
WRONG the platform, the electrical drivetrain is 100% fully Chinese made by GEELY. And that's also the reason why it's so SUPER INEFFICIENT. You agree right that the drivetrain is bad? Correct?
@@HermanWillems Who did Geely hire as the chief engineer for the SEA platform?
@@HermanWillems And the platform is not the full car. Porsche and Volkswagen use the same platforms in their SUVs. Are they the same cars? So does Bentley and VW.
First thing I hate about this car; it's a small car with a big price tag once you add some functionality and range.
No mirror dip during backing up function? I think my XC40 Recharge has this option.
The mirror dip is trash. I got it on my tesla and i wish on god i could get rid off it
We (C40, XC40, Polestar 2) do have automatic dipping on either or both sides. You can also leave the auto function off, but when in reverse, tap the mirror button you want to dip. Want to fold while driving? Press L/R mirror buttons at the same time and they will. The way EX30 does this is a few steps back.
@@andreasl4507just turn it off then?😂
Thanks for all these truths that no other channels mention or even test for.
This is what happens when you have software engineer that doesn't think about what happens when someone drives outside their little bubble. Same issue with Tesla and windshield wipers, not one engineer worked in a place that it rains, hence why they don't care about windshield wiper stock and put in really crappy water detection. They didn't have someone asking the same questions you did, like why? I would love to hear their answer.
i think the estimated range gets better over time with actual use as it is recorded on each vehicle. My c40 improved over time for sure.
I think so too - it’s a good car but has to be cheaper. You have ix1, model 3/Y, enyaq, id4 etc for the price of an extended range ex30 plus some perks maybe
Will be a bit cheaper in a year. Still good price now and for sure better than all the cars you named in the comment.
My first car, a 2000 Jetta GLX, had an auto dipping passenger mirror in reverse. Shocking this isn’t implemented here.
they can easily implement a software update for this feature. i personally would never use it. the camera top-down view already does this for you
Older Volvos had this feature too (although it wasn’t auto and will only be activated if you press either R or L).
@@manah56it IS auto. At least it is in my 2022 petrol XC40
Lol. My Mazda 3 dips the mirrors automatically when going into reverse. You can even choose which mirror to dip…with a press of a BUTTON.
I love that you show the back seat. This basically makes it a no no for me and the family 👍🏻
Is this with google still? Can you tell it to do most things?
It’s with google newest system and is better then everything I have ever seen.
I came here for info, but could not get past driving with the coffee in one hand, taking the other hand off the wheel, while looking into a camera/phone.
I think it was a cost-cutting measure to remove all buttons/kobs.
No discussion about what trims get the heat pump?
I think you can use voice commands for most of those things
Welcome to the world of software cars
Almost every software in the world is like that
It's all about UX seen from another person's viewpoint
As long as cars stay digital, this is expected
Uhh, in the US there aren't that many electric options that even come close to that fully speced out, outside of a Tesla anyway.
Oh, after watching your video, I started to wonder whether I should look for its competitors. :)
A lot of software issues which can be fixed, exept the rear seats.
Rear seats is supposed to be like that do. It’s a small suv lol. Got friends that work at Volvo tech group in Gothenburg and a lot of work getting done there updates will come all the time when new things come up. Almost everything in this video is in the works already
Software update will not bring physical buttons to the car.
@@The_Observer72 The 2025 model will have better buttons on the steering wheel, not to mention they designed it to not have many buttons. The Google voice commands do many of the commands easier than fumbling for buttons too.
Totally, the new software update adds 32% more room to the rear seats as well as adding 12 fully assignable buttons along the dash. :)
@@j-joe-jeans yes, today Volvo have made a recall to install the movibel rearseats of the Smart #1.
Super frustrating, why, nobody wants it, that is a stressful situation, I absolutely hate it, that is just dumb, it is terrible! I hope you enjoyed this video!
Great video .
Kris, do you own an EX30?
I wanted an EX30, but all these niggles would be too much for me. In the UK Autocar review it and said looking at the speed meant the driver alert constantly went off. Disabling it defeats the object. Why they decided to put the ‘gear’ selection on a stalk I will never know.
Speedo in front of the driver, stalks for lights and wipers, push button gear select and a volume knob. There, fixed it.
Thanks. We will probably buy a Scenic e-tech
Dont buy Scenic e tech. I had s order on it after i test drived it then i test drived the Volvo EX30 and was sold better car and drives better. Better tech better systems. Everyting is better
Can't you say "Hey Google raise volume"?
You can
Do a test of the 2024 SRSM Polestar 2 instead. It’s on par with the price of EX30. 😀
Polestar 2 2024 is amazing and the polestar 3 also.
@@andreasl4507 Agreed. The P*2 is a great car with more range, more room, more history and more statement over the Ex30... I am still likely following through on the EX30 for the wife as she likes tiny commuter cars.
In the meanwhile, the EX30 is selling like hot cakes
Yes, for 50‘000€ there are other cats on the market, but besides the sisters Smart #1 and #3 in the Brabus trim, no other car has the same performance. Most other cars at the same price point, have less than half of the performance, the EX30 LRDM has.
A bit sad to hear the negatives as I have one on order. Think it will be fine as a second car
Just seems to be one of many EVs being released to market before very many design issues and software glitches are ironed out it seems. The EX30 has HUGE potential to be a great EV. Like an updated BMW i3, but they have missed the mark in too many areas. Unlike the i3 which hit the mark perfectly in so many areas. But that EV came to market in 2013!. Volvo know how to make a great cabin/good car, so it just does not make sense.
1. Have a profile called Rifs mirror
2. EU regulation, that isn't considering wrong map data or road conditions.. look at the road 😎
3. Wierd, Tesla don't have this at all and dont have working wipers 🙃 but regardless. I have a car with this opt but use the same opt all the time.
4. Well, the driver have the controls on the steering wheel and passenger have it here.
Why take up screen space for this?
9. Say one AWD car with this spwc that is better with the same price range. The Twin Ultra is available for around 55' EUR.
I Like the EX30. Strange World….you see some clickbait titles and than you drive it for real….
The EX30 needs an software update about some issues but in total its a wonderfule ev
It's getting praised but if it has some software issues, they should be pointed out. It finished 2nd place for world car of the year.
Right off the bat, I'm far from a fan of all buttons on a display, without any physical buttons... That said, if you're on the road and need to reverse and still need to adjust your rearview mirrors, while having traffic behind you, you need to consider if driving a car is really for you.
Yesss…. Great ranting 👍
Kris. I had a Twin Ultra TOTR car on order from the launch day, luckily, I got to drive a demo car the car before collection in March and I can sum up in one word - Disappointing. A step too far putting mirror and lighting controls via the touchscreen and the rear seats are cramped and raked back like a baby seat, not to mention the lack of driver storage. Oh, the one pedal driving is crap as well, but a software fix should cure that. Overall disappointing and not very good value for the top spec car. I'm sure the RWD long range car is better value
Give the Kona a try.
Most of these feel like minor annoyances rather than deal breakers, at least to me. I did like that the mirrors auto lower when reversing in a Tesla Model 3, but why do you need that if you have the 360 degree camera?
For sure u think this RUclipsr is just a Volvo hater. Drived this car for a week before orderd it and was great experience. Also couple of my friends work at Volvo with their software updates so will get better with some things.
@@andreasl4507 I don’t think he’e a Volvo hater, I’ve seen his other videos. But I think RUclipsrs need to exaggerate stuff to keep engagement up 😅
@@andreasl4507 "Volvo hater" that's good one! Hahaha! Did you miss the part @00:05 where I say "the EX30 is one of my absolute favourite cars" ? I mean, come on dude! It's like people comment without even watching the video.... I started my channel on Volvo's, and have owned two XC90s which I have made tons of videos about. I also have an EX90 on order, but sure... you make a solid case 🤣🤣
Awesome video 😂 agree with all points.. I also hope Volvo will add a notification when your dipping under 10% SOC.. there's nothing now
Thanks mate! Yeah, and also a warning when the car is in turtle mode would be nice!
@@KrisRifa Maybe they don't have Turtles in China 🤣 as Bjørn would say
@@volvo_kristianvolvos software tech and all volvos work is done in Gothenburg Sweden. Even there first cars is build in Swedish factory all work is done in Sweden. Only thing done is china is mass production of the car. But the car will be build in Europe and Sweden and in USA soon
@andreasl4507 Well that's not entirely correct. But the EX30 will soon be built in Belgium yes.. The turtle part was a joke by the way 😂
Who stays changing wiper sensitivity? You can change the speed itself manually. This really feels like nit picking, especially when all your arguments are based on older Volvo models.
My interest in buying a first-year EX30 has also become much shorter.
Good then I can get it. Best option is to get it in like 6 months. I had the EX30 for 1 week up in north Sweden and was the best car I have drivin so I orderd mine when I got back to Gothenburg to give the car back. Nothing in this video did I even think of becouse it’s not a big deal and most things will get better with updates.
The EX30 with the Tesla screen and UI would be amazing, right now it’s a great car but UI sucks big time.
Thank you Thomas Ingelth who designed old Volvo models in design center in California which saved Volvo which was recently shutdown
Wow, you just killed my interest of buying this car. I’m going on a test drive of the EX30 soon, but with all that I saw, I’m having second thoughts even for a test drive.. 😢
Nice car for short little people. Period. Too bad, because it is attractive and does a lot well at the price.
When i start my Tesla, and the calculation of the SoC % at my destination is always on par or better. Not like this badly engineered drivetrain.
Extra point of saying “ reliably unreliable “
LOL thanks for the honest review. I mean WHY????
your complaint about the mirror was stupid. not everyone want it to tilt down in reverse but i agree with everything else you said. so disappointed in this car
Do you think Geely rather than Volvo employees were involved in the design choices and for some reason stuck to design choices that Chinese consumers want rather than what the rest of the world consumers want? Either that or someone was a Tesla Fanboy in the design team and wanted to copy what Tesla had done but implemented it in a very poor fashion...not that they will be working for Volvo once all the owners put their complaints in about the lunacy particularly around the route planning and a few get stranded so that a flat-bed tow truck has to rescue them. That charge rate under 10% is nuts who thought of that they need to be gone is all I can say.
No. Volvo designed this car and Geely had nothing to do with it.
@@benjaminsmith2287and how do you now that Volvo did all the design? Produktion is in China and owner/shareholders are chinese and some of the errors must be because the chinese has got too much to say in the design of this car. Not like other EV's from Volvo earlier. I am happy with my C40 made in Belgium and don't go for the overrated hype with this car that is more a chinese car with a Volvo logo on it. Not really a Volvo
@@michaelcolind5082 Volvo made a presentation of all the designers and people involved in this car. Saying it is Chinese is you making that up. Not based on any true information out there. Look at who the head exterior and head interior designers are. Look at who did chose and specified the materials. The safety aspects. All of these people are Europeans based in Sweden. Your Belgium built C40 is no more Volvo than the Chinese built EX30 is. Neither are made in Sweden but both are spec'd in Sweden. And both cars have Chinese parts and parts made in other parts of the world.
This is no Chinese car with a Volvo logo on it. It's a Volvo car and very much looks like one and people who have driven it says it feels like one as well.
You believe this sales fairytale😂. 😂😂
@@michaelcolind5082 You've proven you know nothing of how Volvo is structured because you offer zero facts to prove your assertion. You're living your own fairytale.
Currently in my 3rd volvo...was looking forward to this...until i realized its android automotive, no physical buttons and cost cutting left and right....yeh...no thanks
Buy xc40 insted, thats a real Volvo.
Good option but the EX30 is better.
It's not more "real Volvo" than the EX30. The Volvo that is not a "real Volvo" is the EM90. That's a Zeekr.
The terrible rear passenger space/legroom is a deal breaker. A European car not designed for Europeans.
What do you need reverse mirrors for when you have a camera? Dude, there is a camera in the mirror you want to adjust, aimed at the body and the ground. And you have to single-press a volume icon to access the volume controls? Sheesh, guy, you might want to hop of the EV train and grab yourself a 1999 Camry with a tape deck.
Because the cameras won't give you a reliable view of the wheels. It cannot be trusted for getting close to the curb without risking curbing you wheels. I've had 360-cameras in my cars since 2016, so I am not new to it. Volume is something that you adjust all the time, so having to press a button to get the controls up on the screen is a dumb solution. If you'd done close to 5000km in EX30s like I have, you probably would think it was dumb as well.
I test EVs for a living dude, and have driven most of them extensively over several years here in the channel. My channel is dedicated to EVs, and I own a Taycan and have owned several EVs, and have others on order. So this has nothing to do with "hoping on the EV train", that is a strawman - and is a violation of commenting guidelines on my channel (see description).
Having all functions on a touch screen, or buried in menus is dumb - and nobody is asking for it. Even your smart phone has physical buttons for volume. More and more new EVs are moving back to physical buttons and controls. Just look at the new Q6 E-Tron and Xioami SU7.
I have my EX30 since march. No big issues, no problems. Clickbait title?
No
So you get into your EX30 on a freezing -20°C Nordic morning it sounds like you have to drive this EV without gloves !! They may call it a Volvo but it is just a cheap Chinese EV in a fancy dress. I wonder how well it will hold up to 10 years use in Sweden etc.
It's amazing how many are saying this is a "cheap Chinese EV" when that's not true. It's a Volvo using the SEA platform, but it's a Volvo. Other Volvo have used non-Volvo platforms, like the 2nd gen Volvo s40 which used a Ford platform as well as other Volvos. But that's it. The teams behind the materials, the crash structure, the chassis design, the software decisions, are all in Sweden. So this notion that it is a "Chinese EV" is false.
I was so looking forward to this model, but after seeing not only this review but many many others, I’ll not be purchasing one.
There are just too many cut corners, poorly designed software features and it doesn’t seem to be very efficient.
Volvo seems to have rushed it to market and designed it down to a price point and then want to us to pay a premium price because of the Volvo badge.
Sorry Volvo I’ll take my money elsewhere.
Drive it. See for yourself. Many people praise it and even Volvo Kristian who doesn't seem to care for it says it drives great.
This same guy has a video titled it's "AWESOME"! Disgusting click baiting, and I follow his channel.
Anyway, I'm gonna reserve judgement till they start hitting the US and then see what this car holds. I've had it on deposit since it was first announced. We'll see.
That is incorrect, I have a video called "9 things I hate about the Volvo EX30" and another video "10 things I love about the Volvo EX30". Showing both sides of the coin is called being balanced, and neither qualifies as clickbait. I also have 15 other videos on this vehicle. So before calling my videos disgusting, you may want to learn the actual terminology you are using.
This video is specifically about the the 9 things I hate about this car, and the things I find terrible. I mean, the title couldn't be more accurate to the content. I mean, what else should I call the video?
@@KrisRifa Well, maybe not having this video .. ruclips.net/video/imlvdhiAMec/видео.html .. with the splash screen that says "AWESOME" and this one saying "TERRIBLE", which makes it hard to tell how you feel about the car. Maybe that would help.
In general I like your reviews and that's why I subscribe but you can see all the negative comments about the car you've generated in these comments.
@@JohnWhitling sorry if you don't like the caption in the thumbnail, but they pretty much capture the tone and topic of the videos. I don't know what more to say, but it ain't click bait. Click bait is intentionally deceiving with a misleading title or thumbnail, and this ain't that. I don't take lightly to such accusations, and therefore I may seem hard in my response.
Sure, there are negatives comments, but the alternative would be not to make the video and not tell people about what I don't like. But that would be dishonest to my true feelings, don't you agree?
My job is to highlight the good and the bad, which I have over many many videos.
I really appreciate you subscribing and watching the videos :) Cheers!
Yep.. super nitpicky 😂
clearly, the difference between this EX30 and the C40 is that the C40 is a real Volvo and this is a Chinese crossover with some Volvo parts.
That's incorrect. This is sitting on the SEA platform but beyond that, it is created by the same teams that created the C40. And it's a more modern, updated car compared to the C40. People get way to carried away with the Chinese ownership. It hasn't changed most of the content of Volvo cars.
@@benjaminsmith2287 so the chinese battery, the extremely low top speed, the woobling stability issue, the horrific steering wheel controls, the useless "driver alert" mode that we had to turn off even in the test-drive because it was sending random alerts all the time and the confusing infotainment system that has several issues with internet connectivity and in which you cannot do something so basic as turn up or down the volume, are all Volvo decisions? that's very, very bad reputation for Volvo.
@@ClaudioAguileraMunoz CATL is a battery supplier for many brands. And yes, Volvo designed the software.
All of the issues from the start, turned me off from this car straight
who asked for this on screen volume non sense ? Tesla fanboys 😂
isn’t it exactly the way to control volume on tm3?
perhaps volvo though that if tesla can get away with it….
Just change volume on the steering wheel. Stop acting gay
I won’t be buying this car now thanks bro. They need to sort this out. Not perfect
It s the Chinese way... Get a Tesla !
All these points listed are deal breakers!
This guy is a joke
At least I’m a funny joke!
@@KrisRifa I agree with you
It was designed by a woman and led by a woman
The hilariously small rear seats better be on that list
The cheapo on screen better be on that list
The cheapo window controls better be on that list
🤣🤣🤣
Watch the video, and your wish may be granted! :)
Small rear seats is supposed to be like that do. It’s one of the smallest suvs on the road. It’s perfect for the 80% of everyone on the road. Almost everyone drive alone in there car or with a partner. The car is also perfect for partners with kids. It’s a verry good and optional car. ✔️ cheapo on screen is nothing of a problem. And doesn’t even look bad.
Cheapo window control? lol it’s a great and easy way to control all windows. You just gotta get used to it but this car doesn’t seem to be for you so get out.
@@andreasl4507 ok so you ordered one 🤣 you sound like a Tesla model 3 owner trying to justify the cheapo design decisions
Click bait. No new information, only regurgitating other findings. No car is perfect, but to call it Terrible? WTF. Why don't you call it "The worst car I've ever reviewed" and see how that works out for you?
You should Google click bait buddy, because OBVIOUSLY you have no idea what that word means to call this video click bait. The title is 9 things I hate, and that is exactly what I talk about. And yes, these things are terrible. Why don't you try to educate yourself before "correcting" other people.

Your suggestion of the titling this video "the worst car I've reviewed" would in fact be actual click bait, since it is far from that. Because as I say at the very start of the video, this is one of my favourite cars atm. This is simply a topical video about "9 things I hate about this car", which is a long running series on my channel. These videos are also accompanied by "things I love about this car", to make the whole concept balanced. So again, the irony is hard on this one.
"Influencers are a particular kind of despicable people who pray on the work of others to make themselves more popular. In order to do that, they take a popular product and diss it in the harshest way possible, preferably using CAPITALS for extra attention, in order to garner clicks, views and followers. That is your end game. Hence click bait. Not consumer advice, not manufacturer feedback, just personal gain"
If this was what my channel was about, sure I would have to agree with you. If this was my only video on this car, again I would have to agree with you. But that isn't the case, so again, you would look less ignorant if you actually knew what you were talking about.
If you had done that, you's know that this is the 15th video I've done on the EX30, you'll find hours of content here with balanced reporting on just about every aspect of this car. You'll find multiple range tests, long trip tests, reviews, comparo-videos, driving impressions, interior and exterior tours, infotainment deep dives. I mean, you are barking down the wrong tree dude. I am probably as yourself would say "the influencer" with the most experience and most content on the EX30 on this platform.
This comment is the funniest one though "Not consumer advice, not manufacturer feedback, just personal gain"
I've done so many videos that are real world standardized test that not even those you call "real journalist do". I actually take these cars on hours, and sometimes days of real world consumption and travel tests, that only a handful of people in the world do on a regular basis. I am one of the few channels in the world that take EVs on big cross continental trips every year. I have close to 80 long trip tests that on average are 8 hours of travel each. Do you want to link to some "real" journalist who do that? Other than my friends Bjørn, Kyle or Chris - I don't think any of the "real" journalists actually do those types of tests.
As I've talked about several times in my videos, I've spent several days with the team who made the EX30. I told Anna the engineer responsable for the UX what I didn't like and I found terrible, just like in this video. She and her team appreciated the feedback. But somehow, you don't? Curious.
If you want more balance, watch my actual reviews of this car. If you want unopinionated reporting on how this car performs in the real world, watch my range and long trip tests. If you want simple reporting on the interior, watch my tour-videos. But don't watch my topical video that focuses on the negatives and and start calling me names. That makes you look ignorant.
You have violated some of the commenting guidelines here on the channel (see description) and I would advice you to refrain from more violations. Further violation can get you banned and blocked.
Have a nice day too!
Never in my life saw someone adjusting his mirrors to park 🤣 oh wait his friend is the arrogant and rude Volvo guy..go figure.
just because you haven't doesn't mean it isn't a normal thing to do when you parallel park... Most city centres in Europe has pretty narrow streets with small parking spots and high curbs.
Typically that happens automatically once I put in the reverse gear. Wonder why Volvo forgot about it.
Haha 😂😂 Yeah, because Kris doesn't have his own opinions 🤣 The mirror thing aren't bothering me, so
@@KrisRifa Try parking in South America and we never point mirrors down to park. Just learn the dimensions of your car.
This car is crap! Savings everywhere. Lack of ergonomic. Lack of driver screen like in the nonsense Tesla
Not gonna lie this was hard to watch. Kind of insufferable.
Chris, you’re being too emotional. Like, why you gotta go so far and talk about your problems? Just chill out dude.
Strawman fallacies will get you in trouble there matey. See commenting guidelines in description.
I'm ok with the volume button cause I don't want everyone turning up my radio anyway
