I've had this guy for about 6 months now and I kinda love it. It's the 204HP PHEV version.
Absolutely lovely to drive on a motorway. The electric motor kicks in as a turbo when needed. It's not without faults though. The car is quite wide and long. But it doesn't feel it. So I struggle a little bit fitting through tight spaces. It's my first automatic too, it's like driving a toy at times and the info system can be flakey.
Aye, they're really nice those. Toyed with buying one myself when I was changing my car recently. The in-car software didn't strike me as great tho iirc?
When it works (which these days is most of the time) its fine. When I first got the car though the info system was in a constant reboot loop. What car you go for?
AFAIK Seat is no more? There is a Cupra Leon though.
Not permanent unfortunately, I'll be switching to a corolla at some point in the next week or so, then switching to I dunno what when they update the fleet in march.
If you have half an hour to spare, try this. I was shocked (shocked, I tell you) last night because Mrs Poprock asked if we could watch it. She’s an avid viewer of Harry’s Farm, but not usually his car videos. I think this caught her interest just because we have a TVR now. But BEHOLD THE SCAMANDER. It’s your kind of thing.
Peter Wheeler was the boss of TVR. Peter Wheeler was bonkers. Peter Wheeler died a few years back.
Harry Metcalfe, ex-owner/editor of Evo mag, is now a YouTube star with a car channel and a farming channel.
Harry used to be pals with Peter and now checks in on his son every now and then. This is a video of Harry visiting to get the legendary Scamander out and see if it still runs.
What’s the Scamander? It was Peter Wheeler’s last (unfinished) project. He wanted to build a buggy that could bounce around his farm at high speed and then smoothly transition to run on water as a jet boat. Because he had a garage on a little island and he wanted to be able to drive right over the lake to it. Bonkers. He actually wanted this to be a commercially viable vehicle, and to sell it to the military.
"cool and affordable"
Yeah fucking right. Its a house deposit, its an annual salary.
I know nobody buys these things cash but the monthly payments will be relative.
I also think its too try hard to be cool. I think the vast majority of modern cars are.
