What's with the hate? I hope the presenter doesn't read the comments. She's doing just fine. She did nothing wrong. Her voice doesn't sound robotic or scripted. Yeah, she's not having all the fun that maybe Mat is having .. not yet at least .. but that doesn't mean that she's doing a bad job. She's lovely and seems to know what she's supposed to talk about. Keep up the work, it's just people hating on changes.
How unfortunate that a native English speaker is discriminated on her accent. The lady had a clear and energetic delivery. I think she did a great job. I could not have done half as good review.
So, everyone was complaining about James being annoying, flamboyant, etc, etc.... and now that he isn't here, everyone asks about him and dismiss a new presenter..... gotta love internet consistency. About her, i give a pass, everyone has to start from somewhere.
Hugo Fernandes Finally, I found one decent comment in this hateful place. I think she did a decent job. Very good if she hasn’t practiced recorded journalism before.
Give her a break, it's probably her first time doing something like this. We're too used to the likes of Ginny or James who have plenty of experience and aren't worried about not doing a proper job for their corporate masters. Let's all just give her a chance to shine.
I think this review is pretty straight forward. I own a 2019 430 gran coupe and its a super fun car to drive compared to an Audi and gives better gas mileage along side the interior tech features are very hard to fins elsewhere. I do have to state that the Audi is a smoother ride but its not a technologically sound or as fun to drive but Audi has the best price fro tech, luxury and brand.
I’ve got one of these in msport estoril blue for 2.5 years - love love it. Best of all worlds. I never keep a car this long but I don’t envisage selling it
Early 2016: viewers complaint about mat's disappearance and james' review Early 2018: viewers complaint about james' disappearance and more feminist approach to make carbuyer looked like british version of cartell tv from australia
I actually hate electronic dials. Never as attractive as a well made set of analog gauges. They need to stop this whole water and crisps nonsense! I have literally NEVER met a single person who puts crisps in their glove box or big bottles of water in their door bins.
everyone bashing on the reviewer, well maybe i am different, i really like her accent, and voice and new face to the channel, welcome and don´t worry about the naysayers they were all perfect on their first day at work you know ; )
"....the dials in front of you, because they are electronic" (58 secs mark). Who says "electronic" dial? Digital display is the term used if you are into your cars.
You can tell when motoring journalists have children or not... it is unlikely you'll have a child in the middle seat at the back because they need to have a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm tall. Few child car seats will fit the middle seat AND make it comfortable for those on the outer rear seats.
I don't get the negative comments about the voice or accent? Sounds perfectly fine for my German ears, must be a British thing... i can certainly hear the difference between different British accents, but none of them have a negative connotation from the get-go. It depends on each individual person and not an entire accent.
This presenter is actually appealing. She just needs to work on being a little more relaxed and also speaking with a softer and slightly darker voice. I like her. The car seems to be fine too.
Nothing against the presenter here, but not even 2 minutes in and poorly placed microphones, and a shot of her knees to show that the water bottle doesn't fit in the door bin? Come on, really?
Just had to fact check you there and after checking the BMW UK website you are partially incorrect. The 420D GC in sDrive and xDrive have the SE trim option, but they are the only ones.
I don't know why BMW persist with the comedy ride height on the 3 and 4 series xDrive models. The 5 and 7 series xDrive models don't ride that high so there is no excuse, and aftermarket springs can be fitted to lower the car which still work with the adjustable dampers.
Whoa, to NA ears her accent is like something from a Guy Ritichi movie, easy on the eyes, a bit robotic delivery but man those long vowels are a fookin riought.
Give the girl a break. And none of Matt Watson's silly jokes and Easter eggs, which are becoming a bit tiresome. This is a good review, packed with facts and advice. Sniping 'Essex' comments - presumably because of her accent - say everything about the poster and nothing about the reviewer.
4 series is so much nicer looking than the 3 series
What's with the hate? I hope the presenter doesn't read the comments. She's doing just fine. She did nothing wrong. Her voice doesn't sound robotic or scripted.

Jesssus all these hate comments
She literally did nothin wrong lmfao its her first time what do you expect -.-
Never-less CARWOW is the best
lol exactly! she did perfectly fine, relax everyone
Carwow? With that gay guy who only cares how many candy bars fit in the glove box?
@@darkpill I think Sophie is gorgeous 😍 as a straight man I would say she is just elegant and sexy.

Haha I actually liked James though even though he did have a cold vampire vibe☻
Came here for a car review not The only way is Essex . I’m
Off to CARWOW
Mark Jarrett lol BURNNNNEDDD
Don't like her presenting style. Too formal and too corporate sounding.
Alex Wright corporate bods like watching appentice just gets under my skin and makes my skin crawl.
Give her a break, it's probably her first time doing something like this. We're too used to the likes of Ginny or James who have plenty of experience and aren't worried about not doing a proper job for their corporate masters. Let's all just give her a chance to shine.
Don’t I wish old carbuyer I’m sorry but I’m not a fan of the new reviewers I’ll just stick with mat at carwow much more entertaining reviews
itz Faza That's the only thing Mat is good at since carwow... being cute.
I agree, mat is the best!!,👍👍👍👍👍Also Rebecca now works at the telegraph cars so you can still watch her there

Are you reviewing the car or trying to sell it to me? This video had no criticism of the car's interior, exterior or driving dynamics...
Too bland , too robotic , seemed like i was attending a class
Even the guy does a better job than this
Just constructive criticism
Give her some time =) we all have "first day"
Never thought I'd say this. Bring back James!
I feel like I'm sitting in a classroom and she is in front teaching me with a whiteboard full of texts.
Geez some people here - guess they were "perfect" when they started a new job hey lol?
James always sounded like it was natural and from the heart...NOT rehearsed.
Klasse Act Doesn’t matter, there will always be Matt. CarWow
Agreed.
Not at the start and there was a time mat and Rebecca sounded scripted until they got more experience
Only a few months ago, people were bashing James. People are just resistant to change.
Voice is a bit harsh at some moments, editing on the peaking of her voice should make it more listen-able
James, Ginny and Nicki...Why didn't you just stop there?😂
Plus, you guys obviously don't know that Sophie is a racing driver...
I’ve got one of these in msport estoril blue for 2.5 years - love love it. Best of all worlds. I never keep a car this long but I don’t envisage selling it
Well, Matt raised the bar so high that I enjoy no other reviewers -_-
the best 420i review - this car is not famous in the media 😞 it is mainly 5 series and 3 series people talk most
Panel gap is shocking at 0:25 between the bonnet and front bumper.
stop hating guys, she is not the issue. the issue is us being old and afraid of any changes! I enjoyed the review more of her plz!
Btw where’s James ?
Another new presenter on carbuyer. How many is that now 4?
Why are we hating on this girl?
thormaster06 I don't know why but she looks sexy to me.
great review. Thanks for posting. Very informative

I found it kind of strange too. The huge water bottle looked like it belonged in a kitchen. Of course that size won't fit in a 4 series.
It is done as a clear reference point. We all roughly know the size of a 1,5L bottle or 150gr packet of crisps.
Is it me or the video keeps on getting louder then quieter?
Rowan Mason She has her mic on the left side of her shirt. soft when she looks right, LOUD when she looks left
It was about time we saw some new faces with carbuyer.
Great car review. Thank you.
Good video and well presented.
Terrific review. Love my 430i.
everyone bashing on the reviewer, well maybe i am different, i really like her accent, and voice and new face to the channel, welcome and don´t worry about the naysayers they were all perfect on their first day at work you know ; )
Can't believe all the hate for the presenter .
"....the dials in front of you, because they are electronic" (58 secs mark).
Who says "electronic" dial? Digital display is the term used if you are into your cars.
Why does everyone hate her accent? I can understand it perfectly well, and I'm not even British.
I'm pretty sure the digital display is an extra and not standard
The Rolex is nice. And the good things in this video end here.
Good review. Love mine.
James looks fab after the surgery.
The car is almost at the twilight of its production and now you remember to review it? Lol.
You can tell when motoring journalists have children or not... it is unlikely you'll have a child in the middle seat at the back because they need to have a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm tall. Few child car seats will fit the middle seat AND make it comfortable for those on the outer rear seats.
Fine review, but how many times do you have to mention the A5 lol?
A lot of car to review, honest and comparisons useful
Too over dressed for a car review and not very relaxed.
Jeff Woodcock deffo agree those FM boots
Overdressed indeed, but hot :P
I call it a 4 door version, of a 2 door version, of a 4 door car.
Noah Bowie hahaha, i still remember it :))
It’s a 5 door
James Parry whatever it's basically the same
I don't get the negative comments about the voice or accent? Sounds perfectly fine for my German ears, must be a British thing... i can certainly hear the difference between different British accents, but none of them have a negative connotation from the get-go. It depends on each individual person and not an entire accent.
Don’t know what everybody is complaining about. She was natural and sad nothing wrong.
I think she did fine. I think all people moaning and complaining with this lady are the same people who destroy James in his first videos.
So 33cl of water is not enough? Why 150cl?
Accent is painful to listen to.
It's pretty normal by UK standards. Is your 'Murrican accent painful as well?
No , your right ,it sounds like she almost has a lisp 😂
Normal by UK standards? Your having a laugh, perhaps if all you watch is Eastenders you may think that.
jibreeeeel94 u wouldn't b saying that if she was on top of you lol
Free State who cares
Nice review 👍
i need help with getting android auto to work in mine? Please and thank you
I liked her review
They Diss James who was actually very good
I love this presenter
so you are braindead?
@@Juoppolalli you lack testosterone. As a straight man she looks amazing and looks beautiful 😍
@@shanjanusman9974 nah she aint beautiful at all 🤣
@@Juoppolalli she is delicious 😋 😍 ❤ and also is a racing driver if you didn't know.
@@Juoppolalli My testosterone is through the roof 🤪☺😍 as she sits on those beautiful cream leather bound seats 💺 grrrrr 😍
This presenter is actually appealing. She just needs to work on being a little more relaxed and also speaking with a softer and slightly darker voice. I like her. The car seems to be fine too.
I am just reading the comments and guys, let's give her chance. You all warmed up to James, didn't you?
Nice review and a great car!
Good review thanks
Is that Milgauss fake? How much do you pay if it isn't.
Nothing against the presenter here, but not even 2 minutes in and poorly placed microphones, and a shot of her knees to show that the water bottle doesn't fit in the door bin? Come on, really?
Concise and precise review.
If TOWIE did car reviews......
Please check your facts! The SE only available on the Gran Coupe, and the M Sport package is available on the entire engine range.
Just had to fact check you there and after checking the BMW UK website you are partially incorrect. The 420D GC in sDrive and xDrive have the SE trim option, but they are the only ones.
stubones Good spot! I've just edited my comment.
Whats the color?
Give her chance guys
is it a rolex mil gauss on her wrist?
I know she is new to this and we're supposed to be supportive but that was painful to watch and listen to
The new reviewer is much more Honest, she Doesn t Tell u that it’s The best car just because it’s a bmw, like James does! I like it!
Are the electronic dials standard?
Thank you, found it helpful.
I don't know why BMW persist with the comedy ride height on the 3 and 4 series xDrive models. The 5 and 7 series xDrive models don't ride that high so there is no excuse, and aftermarket springs can be fitted to lower the car which still work with the adjustable dampers.
Anybody know if you can get golf clubs in the back of these?
Women doing motoring journalism! Jesus equality is amazing!
I love this car 😍😍😍
No water storage is gonna be very noticeable after you eat all them crisps
Whoa, to NA ears her accent is like something from a Guy Ritichi movie, easy on the eyes, a bit robotic delivery but man those long vowels are a fookin riought.
Thanks. Love you!
Why have there been so many different presenters lately? We don’t need 4 different ones!
those fans upfront are really really outdated they seriously need to change that plastic button look up by now
No third head rest!
Very irritating voice!!!!!. Had to mute the phone and turn on the captions.
... and turn off the phone and lights.
Car: meh
Presenter: oh, what a dazzling young urbanite!
Great Video Review. I like the Essex Accent
The dials are now electronic ?!? Say Whaaaaat !!!!
I am so starting to hate Carbuyer, where is James and Jinny? This new peoples! I am off to Carwow.
the best review
Give the girl a break. And none of Matt Watson's silly jokes and Easter eggs, which are becoming a bit tiresome. This is a good review, packed with facts and advice. Sniping 'Essex' comments - presumably because of her accent - say everything about the poster and nothing about the reviewer.
CLA vs 4 Series GranCoupe vs A5 Sportback
I left Kent to get away from accents like this.
Maybe you should leave Earth too.
One day but for now just the channel...
Out of focus?? Soft focus?? Or is it just me....
Why do all these car reviewers look Cross eyed when they look at the camera
Great car & presentor
I don’t know what u r all saying I love her way of presenting
Ben Simpsion you don't understand English?
Oh dear. Where did you get her from. If you are that desperate you should have got in contact.
She’s cute where did she come from?
Has anyone ever had a big bottle of water just randomly loose in their car?
I thought the review was good don’t know why she is receiving criticism. I remember James got a lot namely Count Dracula..
