Without a doubt one of the best three car journalists in the business (and one of them is on a major TV show). The production is fantastic too. The best compliment I can give you, is that there I virtually zero chance I would watch a review about a Seat. They don’t even sell them where I live. The entertainment value is why I watch and enjoy it anyway. Bravo.
I agree. Mark's genuinely witty without being snide, and very imaginative -- and a bloody good car reviewer too - he knows what he's doing when it comes to cars.
I bought one a few months ago. Actually, I almost bought a Fiesta but I needed an automatic transmission, Fiesta’s AT seemed way too harsh in changing gears and it was a dealbraker. Fiesta seemed louder too (and less economical), as well as weaker (74kW) and it was noticable on a motorway. I got the non-FR version, although still 85 kW engine. Boy is it enough, it is a proper pocket rocket ;) Comfy, quiet, feels spacious enough for a city car. P.S. Never used the Volume button, the scroll on the steering wheel is wayyy more convenient. P.P.S. Living in a fairly small city I have seen only 3 Ibizas (one of them is mine) and a buttload of Polos and Fiestas. Feels good not to drown in a crowd of silver diesels ;)
Best presenter, most informative, most entertaining , car reviews , right up there with a certain multi-million pound internet only car show... But made for pennies, so well done.
Nothing to say really, except your reviews are the best in the business... only way to improve them I think is by having Rebecca Jackson standing next to the car, saying nothing but just smiling😉
Mark, if you used to work in MK and you had these views, I would love to have seen it 🤣 I got in big trouble for saying the boot space reducing in an estate car (on the new model) was a negative point 😷
Thank you. Tough one. The TSI is the more enjoyable engine but the Fiesta the better car overall, IMO. I'd probably go Ibiza though, mainly because there are far fewer of them on the road. :-) M.
They'd sell a load more cars if they cleared the stage of these pompous suits and got you up there Mark. You make utterly boring cars interesting, including ones you don't like. Kudos. I would also be disinclined to buy the car had I seen the advert you rightly cite as "Telly lifestyle' at 4:12 - man, what a lot of pretentious corporate twaddle - I'd be more impressed by your "taking stuff to the tip in a **** hat" demonstration. PS: Hat-tip for "meliflous rumble."
I asked because I'm 6ft6 and wondered whether I could fit into this car. I'm going to check the car tomorrow but you drove it much more than I probably will before I buy it. Thanks.
It looks so much like a Leon...Anyway not a bad car im sure but I have had two SEATs in the past and found them both boring so probably wont bother with this one, the Citroen C3 is more appealing. Good review btw

Spread the word people - this channel has been stuck on 18k subscribers for a criminal amount of time. It's too excellent for that. 👍
Bought the 115 FR, love it...cant believe it’s only a 1.0 engine, well made, great handling and loads of room....love the colour too, mystic blue.
i always use the steering wheel to up the volume, keep your hands on the wheel mate

Another brilliantly entertaining review, informative and funny. Keep them coming!
Very entertaining review John. I laughed at telly lifestyle vs. normal one and mix of skits from press conference was also cool :)
Great Review! I'd say this won't outsell the Fiesta and Corsa because of price, otherwise its a much nicer car!
This proves that car reviews can be hilarious and informative!

You guys are crazy ! In a positive, deliberate way !!!
Great Reviews. Just a question.
Wich you will prefer more? A Ibiza 1.5 TSI evo engine or a ford fiesta 1.5 diesel with 120 horses?
Thank you. Tough one. The TSI is the more enjoyable engine but the Fiesta the better car overall, IMO. I'd probably go Ibiza though, mainly because there are far fewer of them on the road. :-) M.

I thought only I couldn't tell the difference between the Ibiza and the Leon.
Best car reviewer by miles .... should be on telly
Do a review on suzuki swift
Another great review Mark... loved it!
Great review, not a bad little car by the looks of it!!
THE MOST FUN TO WATCH CAR REVIEWER IN THE WORLD, LOL
amazing reviews. best journalist ever
Best review and great video
how tall are you?
6ft4. You now know one more interesting thing.
I asked because I'm 6ft6 and wondered whether I could fit into this car. I'm going to check the car tomorrow but you drove it much more than I probably will before I buy it. Thanks.
I think you probably will. I had no problem in it, though you might want to avoid the sunroof - you'll lose a couple of inches of headroom with it.
How does IbiZa become IbiTHA in english?
Great review and excellent clips ....so funny :-))
The intro - hilarious and "to the point". Sorry for us Germans trying to speak English - we are definately not good at everything ... ;-)

It looks so much like a Leon...Anyway not a bad car im sure but I have had two SEATs in the past and found them both boring so probably wont bother with this one, the Citroen C3 is more appealing. Good review btw
