How can you tell I am driving a Kia Seltos?
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.11 часов назад
Not my number one Kia model, but still, a Kia model, and therefore a fav overall. Can it continue to compete with the Chinese car brands dominating the car market?

Is the Jaecoo J7 a bit OTT?

Ott being Over The Top for those who don't know. You will have to watch the full video to find out my thoughts on this, but one thing is obvious, the Jaecoo J7 is bound to ruffle feathers. It offers customers a crazy amount of bang for their buck! If you want to get your own insurance quote, you should!

What's wrong with the Jaguar I-Pace?
Просмотров 12 тыс.14 дней назад
Well, there is nothing wrong with the Jaguar I-Pace. But why doesn't it sell all that well in South Africa? There are many reasons, ag and I don't need to get into that. I would rather chat about the car and what makes it pretty great. Barring the boot. With that spare tyre in there it is not great!

Is my love for the Corolla Sedan giving away my age?
Просмотров 20 тыс.21 день назад
I am at that age when I am unashamedly all about practicality and comfort. The Toyota Corolla Sedan is one of the most practical car-buying decisions you could make. As a long-term test car it has fit seamlessly into my family and I love it. It is also the Hybrid version which means it is so efficient and after almost a month with it, we have only had to fill it up once. I might not give it bac...

The beast that is the Mazda CX-60 3.3L
Просмотров 21 тыс.28 дней назад
I love a beast! Especially when it doesn't fit the mould. In this case, a family SUV. Unassuming is what I say this car is. You wouldn't know what is lurking beneath just by looking at it. But it is beastly. @hippo_co_za Learn more: www.hippo.co.za DISCLAIMER: Hippo Comparative Services (Pty) Ltd is an authorised financial service provider. Terms and Conditions online.

This Volvo EX30 is the fastest car for under a mil
Просмотров 30 тыс.Месяц назад
Who would have thought that a Volvo, and electric Volvo, would be the fastest car on South Africa's roads for under R1 million? It is crazy to think, right? But anyhoo, here we are. I am all over this EV, even if I am not hugely sold on them. PS. Can you spot the Hippo in the video? You could win one for yourself.

Is the Defender 110 PHEV the best of both worlds?
Просмотров 14 тыс.Месяц назад
I have just spoken about EVs in my last video and what I really think about them. So perhaps it was time for a plug in hybrid because I find these to make way more sense. Barring the pricing, obviously. But if we were to be incentivised, I think PHEVs would be the way to go. And the Defender 110 PHEV is a winner! If pricey.

Loving it❤
The Seltos is a great offering overall, I've just been iffy on my opinion of the headlights, that split looks weird. I love the rear single light strip though😊
Love our Ex+. A definite must test drive if your looking for a new SUV.
Your beanie game is on point.
Are you going to review the BYD Dolphin? Looking into buying one.
Hmmm, I don't have it scheduled on test as of yet so not at this point I'm afraid :(
This upgrade has moved my focus from Sportage to Seltos, in particular the 1.5 EX+ Diesel. The value offering is worth the "size sacrifice". This new spec is so well put together and has everything that is needed. Compared to the Chinese competitors, which have every bell and whistle, I prefer the styling and build quality of the Kia. The Chinese cars seem to save you money on the purchase price, but will cost you more at the fuel pump and resale value. This really is a top quality offering in this sector of the market.
Resale value is theory that applies when you actually don’t want to keep the car. Cars don’t have value anyways.
I agree!!!!!!!
@@lesediseemela9856 Not exactly correct ;)
Very well put, I agree!
I think it's time Kia got rid of the plane lever 2:42
Yes , Indian made
My ideal Seltos will be blue with a black roof, a little nudge bar at the front, a tow bar at the back, and with a diesel engine 😀 ... Round of applause to KIA for offering such beautiful cars, I'm not sure whether a new design team was hired or the old one just upped their game😂👏 ...This thing, just like the Spotage, it looks stunning 😍 ...I would still pick the Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid over anything 😅... 26 years of age and my license only 2 years old, the lowest offer I got in this very same car with my details is R2230, which I think is crazy😂😂😂
Tint the windows an then u look like a rapper cruising in yer Kia😅
Haha
Is this imported from India / Made-in-India ?
Hmm good point - I think it is. Although one of the better ones.
I love the variety of vehicles you drive & your bubbly personality in the videos
good honest review - practical and calling a spade a spade..........Suzuki's are all fabulous value for money - just get the manual gearbox !
superb value for money car .......... just get the manual transmission
love the dance moves :)
Was waiting for this review!!! I love this car, thanks Juliet!
Watched it a second time and enjoyed it even more!😂
Love the Navara
So honest info please, I read that the problem with Haval jolions are reliability for a start, alot of gearboxes and engine issues early on, but the real problem is accountability from Haval SA, which means if you do run into problems you are on your own so to speak. Any haval owners that have dealt with haval sa? How is the trade in value?
It is a little OTT. But on its own, not compared to any other brand/model, it's unbeatable, price, features, warranty. If quality is an issue, they aren't going to last long as it will destroy the 2nd hand market......but do feel the Chery brand has passed that mark! Wonder if that sunroof takes 5 pushes of a button to open it full like my tiggo 8 🙄. Chinese are taking over....hopefully there's no 8 year old in sweat shops making parts . I just don't know how they can do it....for half the price. A third 🧐 maybe... My 1st Tiggo 8 1.6 had Chinese voodoo in that motor I tell you. The performance was unreal. Now on the max, and again, brilliant. The LSD putting foot going out of corners 🙌🏼. Superboss worthy!
Go Luca. Are we there yet. 😊😊😅
Loved the intro. Cute ☺️
Looks like a space shuttle ❤😅
More than the car , loved the location !! Sad that this got discontinued in india due to BS6 norms hope it comes back !!
I hate boring infotainment. Only thing that's putting me off Japanese cars.
This thing is quick, beats a lot of hot hatches on long highways
The ORA 3 is $12K usd in China, but freight is expensive for EV as it’s dangerous cargo.
Who is buying a car for 20 years these days, if you are stick to Toyota or something like that but these cars are not targeted at those people. Younger people have different needs and these cars speak to those needs. I've noticed majority of the people who are hell bent on discrediting the Chinese brands are either older people who are stuck in their ways or young people who don't know how to think for themselves and make decisions for themselves.
"So that I can make money so we can eat"😂😂😂😂
How good is towing? Can it handle a large caravan
Hey Juliet, I think you forgot power and torque figures.
Which one would you recommend between XC60 Mild Hybrid and CX60 Hybrid? Since they are similarly priced
Awesome video...I am watching this again after watching your sons Jaecoo 7 that featured you (not the other way around) 🙂, I have narrowed down my search to these two and wanted to try and get a sense of which you would prefer. I'm now wondering whether the deciding factor is that the Jaecoo 7 needs the touchscreen for everything and the Tiggo 7 Pro Max needs it for some things as I see some buttons dashboard.
Okay I'm in the UK so maybe its a bit different but the rivals aren't really cheaper here. I have three kids aged 6 and under and basically with normal car seats there is no other car we can have except a 7 seater which eats boot space. I love my c5 and the car seat thing isn't an issue, if you're really struggling get a group 0-1 swivel car seat that you can swivel to face you and put the kid in, then from age 4 and upwards they can climb in themselves and you just need to do the belts. For holidays we easily stick roof bars and a roof box on the top and jobs a goodun. If the car is hot as soon as we go in we whack on AC max and then sort out the apple play after. Maybe it's different because I need three car seats along the back, but even if you have two it's one of the only cars where an adult can easily sit inbetween. Honestly I love it and just swapping the one I've had for 4 years for the newer hyrbid version.
😂
If you can operate a cellphone while you drive, you should be fine. Lol. That's why South Africans will love it.
I think you need more time with the vehicle. You're review is how most feel for the first time.... Theres a lot of shortcuts including voice activation for the heated seats, aircon, navigation.... The features are brilliant and luxury. Love the vehicle, wouldn't change it. Also, quality wise, everything comes from china now days... A lot of your old well known brands included.
I admit do admit in the video that I need more time with a car, but I know one thing for sure, the voice activation almost made me drive it off a cliff. Which is the case with most voice activation systems in any brand. I just want an old school button!
Your "so called" Dominant/Legacy Brands were once called Jap Crap etc... times change so should preconceived ideas!!!. fact is they are overpriced. In 5 years time our motor industry is going to look a look a whole lot different and the Chinese brands will be the reason. Mahindra is now well established and the 4th best selling bakkie in the market....go figure! Some of these chinese brands has been selling in China for decades and are some of the biggest brands in the world.
Your kiddo is adorable 🙏🏽
For me it's the tech..... The tech is trying to take your mind off the fact that the Chinese cars all have terrible mechanicals..... To be a car you first have to be able to do what a car does......
😂 😂 😂 😂 Bro still talking about Chinese cars from 2002
strangely enough also consider price of insurance for my low risk profile the baleno glx auto was R800 more to ensure then the starlet XR auto even the insurance guy was surprised
It's baffling that you're not allowed to drive while operating your mobile phone but can drive while operating a giant phone-like contraption on the dash. The honest truth is that you have to go through menus and sub-manus to perform the most mundane tasks like turning on the a/c or changing radio stations. Buttons make more sense from a safety point of view because they're more intuitive and as a result a lot of tasks can be performed without taking your eyes off the road.
Cute man
Resale value will be horrendous. Save a buck now, and get penalised with the resale value. And that doesn't factor in the interest costs.
Checked bmw, audi and merc lately and their resale values..?.... Personally I hate the Chinese stuff, but people buying cars have changed and they no longer hold onto them for years and years.. But I agree.... These cars are going to be flooding the secondhand market as people won't be able to sell them....
Are you buying car just to sell it back in few years? If yes, please look for other car, Chinese car & German premium car is not suitable for your view. Please go for japanese car
Hi juliette can you do the ford territory next please
Surface level 😂😂😂 yeah, i agree😂😂😊
As always, brilliant review
What about the car seems "skin deep" I wonder?
I always enjoy Juliet's reviews, but I find them a bit "skin deep"-more of an overview than an in-depth look at the car. I love watching Paul at CarExpert on RUclips (www.youtube.com/@CarExpertAus); his reviews are how I think they should be. That said, Jaecoo will still be launching in Australia so no review there.
😂 Kids are adorable. Say Hi Lukey. 😅 HI Lukey 😂 so sweet
Luke was cute ❤😂
Personally not a fan of these brands but i like that it swallowed the ego/ dominance that the german and Japanese brands tended to make South Africans believe. Their mindset has shifted tremendously though not so much VW..... Usually, it either you pay the price they asking or walk away. So, i like the variety and competitiveness it adding to these so called dominant brands. Nice review❤
