"They don't do many miles in Japan" is true Matt. Almost everywhere in the country they have the best public transport so often only drive on weekends, and they generally always get their cars serviced at a dealer because they are risk averse. I have lived there on and off for over 30 years. Great country. Love your channel!
Thanks! That’s interesting
They also have massively oppressive emissions laws that basically make it too expensive to keep a car over 7 years old.
They just cost too much to keep on the road.
Again, a friend in Japan who found out the hard way. That’s why there are millions of cars sat rusting in industrial complexes waiting for exportation or to be scrapped.
@@lewishorsman2219 What a gift to all the RHD countries round the world lol. Also I believe Singapore might be even worse, I know they make car ownership ridiculously expensive even from new and I've seen a few online available for giveaway prices. Although not sure if it's as easy to import from there.
That's usually why japan imports are such low mileage
I agree, better off not revealing too much of a personal life, especially a financial side because some people can react in a weird way and it saves you from an unnecessary headache. Great video as always 😊
That’s right
you dont wanna be a p diddy
You are wise to only show what you want to of yourself. Your entertaining content is enough
Thanks
Until someone has driven an Austin Maestro Non-turbo Diesel they don't actually have an answer to what is the worst car in the world.
My Mum had one. A gleaming red Clubman D. It actually never went wrong and ran on fresh air. She eventually sold* it in exchange for a box of chocolates, such was its value!
My mate had one and it was supremely agricultural - I was rather impressed with the pipework on the Perkins diesel.
@@jonharvey3676 I spent a lot of time in the back of an even baser one than that. It was a manweb company car belonging to my mate's dad. I learned to drive in it on Southport beach though when I was 13 or 14. Fond memories of going places very slowly.
Drove a few. They were no worse than a 1.8D Escort
1.4 escort 1994, possibly the worst car I've ever had the misfortune to drive, closely followed by a 2005 focus 1.4L.
I live in Japan on Okinawa island and i can confirm japanese just dont drive long distance trips. People use the train or fly.
Plus car parking charges are so high and limited that most people dont commute to work.
But the average person here has never opened the bonnet of their car and its a complete mystery to them. I helped my Aussie mate change his cam belt in his drive way and almost the entire street came to look at us and one guy even asked us if we had a licence to to it.
The Shaken our MOT is also super strict too and bloody expensive. If i still lived up on the mainland i would film a car breakers for you as they are so clean and well organised.
If you take the car for a Shaken at one of the few official facilities that handle this (rather than letting your local service station do it for you), the inspection takes five minutes. And if the car fails on something trivial, there are plenty of shops round the corner that will fix a blowing exhaust or realign the headlights. Of course you'll need Japanese literacy to fill out the forms.
The number plate change is far simpler and cheaper.
I really enjoyed that, Mat, the honesty does you justice.
Great video, as always, Matt - many congratulations on the channel. I've been watching since you first started.
Thanks! I appreciate it
love the high peak property channel 😊😊. Hope you have a change of heart in the future about further content. Either way truly enjoy the content on both channels
We’ve been watching your older videos where you have a set budget for a specific type of car….like best luxury car for £5k! We think you should add “You get a lot of car for your money” to your merch range!
I’ve been watching your videos for years and you come across as humble even though you’re successful. Your channel is one of the best, keep up the good work and enjoy your success 👍🏾
Thanks!
I thought you would skip that question. Well done Matt. My address is on it’s way 😂😂
Haha made me laugh that
@@HighPeakAutosI feel guilty about commenting on the original video. The comments got out of hand 😂😂
I’ve sent you an email.
@@johng7304 got it. I’m intrigued.
Go for the 2 ltr diesel are words I never thought I'd hear on this channel , good job I was sat down 🤣
You're to be admired for eventually listening to your viewers....took a while but hey ho 😁
thanks matt great video really enjoy Q & A hope you had good holiday have a great week wes
Your videos keep getting better thanks for your videos
Good video as always Matt👍🏻
Thanks for answering the question mat. 👍🏻
thanks for your content very entertaining and informative
On your early stuff: Watch early episodes of Wheeler Dealers. Poor Ed is rabbit in the headlights.
But like them your personality gets through.
This is the best thing about yt. It's not telly. It's given the chance for normal people to have a voice and audience.
yt doesn't give a voice to normal people. do your research
@@TimQwant really? Oh okay. Oddball. It's literally an open platform for anyone. Even people that don't know how yt works can make videos about not knowing how yt works.
I'd say "do your research" but then you'd know and the point would be lost.
Another interesting video.
I bought my first used Skoda Superb L&K diesel after seeing your recommendation and I'm loving it... now in the process of massively overspending.
Tyres, glow plugs, detailing, boot close switch, aircon regas, new xenon bulbs, gearbox and engine service. It's smooth, reasonably quiet and frugal with some excellent gadgets... self parking, auto lane steering, radar cruise control, TV, satnav, 4x4 and more.
Looking forward to a European tour.
All the best and thanks again for these great videos.
Good job Matt, totally with you on the Defender 110' in Black or Grey with the pod and ladder on the sides..
Great vid. Miss the property channel but totally understand where you are coming from.
Thank you for featuring my question, alright guys, how’s it going , welcome back. I love your posts, they’re fun - informative feature a lot of cars I couldn’t stretch to, so thank you Matt, you do a really good job
Thanks. My pleasure
Hi Matt, love the content, always interesting with a good variation of cars. I make you right to limit what you show of yourself, other incomes etc. Staying humble is a good trait for successful people....which a few of the ones I know sadly struggle with
Great video, really enjoyed that, Cheers Matt
Thanks 👍
Thanks, Matt.
Interesting stuff. I would like to see more of these, perhaps each quarter or so
XC70 all day long. Love what you do.
Hi Matt another good format video for a change,
Thanks 👍
Thanks for answering my question. Great to hear you’re planning on a trip to Ireland. The Wild Atlantic Way is where you want to go!
I've been subscribed to this channel for a very long time. I find them very informative and interesting. It makes me want to buy and sell cars.
Great to hear!
I don't like to brag but when I was in Bermuda. . . There is always a smile out loud moment in your vids. Keep up the excellent work!
Great interesting video matt... trust me you would love it in Ireland... very friendly people and some great roads and some fabulous scenery 👌👌👌
Sounds great!
Just keep out of Dublin, all the rest is great
You've got to do the Ring of Kerry in Ireland, stunning driving roads, scenery and history. Watch out for tourists in oversized hire cars doing about 15 mph, you'll want something small and nimble
get off the main bits and try the Gap of Dunloe, or via Portmagee and stick to coast - but prime your magician to sort paint after - or don't go in your best - last hire car we had there they didn't even check paint work
@@wobbly_jelly my hire car was just the same! Totally agree on Portmagee
Spot on, small car is best in Kerry during tourist season, all those big tour buses on roads that we never made for them are nightmare.
Cheers, Matt. It would be super if you got over to Ireland.
Always interesting 👍
Hi Matt ! Thanks for the very good reply to my question ! Don't blame ya one bit for getting out of the car selling game if ya have other projects to concentrate on! The less dealing with the general public...the better!!👌🎉
Well we're here! Tee shirt suggestion!
I remember your first video it was a lot to be desired but I stuck with you!!!!
You're right about property channel so right
Great video Matt .. your brother looks chilled too much .. but I bet he’s a rebel off camera
Can not go wrong with the Ghibli. Would love the petrol one though
George I would definitely go for the 2.0 diesel manual, I have a 2016 Passat and it’s just hit 200k and it’s a great car. They’re basically the same car, reliable enough, very comfortable and very punchy. Sits happily at 80-90 (apparently) and gets up to 65mpg. Highly recommend
Hi matt didn't no you had another channel just been over and subscribed 😊
Thanks
Great video matt as usual don't you bloody retire for a long time life would be drab without your high peak videos great viewing and keeps me sane 👍
Matt, love the video! Especially enjoyed hearing about your dream farm with classic cars. My question is, what has been the most surprising thing you've learned about the car business since starting out? 🤔
Hey Matt, if you ever decide to import a car from Japan. Look into the toyota mark X , it's a RWD sedan with either a 2.5 6 cyl or a 3.0 6 cyl
If you have never been to Ireland you must go ..The whole island of Ireland is so amazing and it appeals to me because it not overcrowded..look forward to seeing you on a road trip.keep making your excellent videos.
Matt do the Wild Atlantic Way road trip, some of the best views in the world along the way with great restaurants and pubs a long the way!
Hi Matt
You need to look at the Range Rover Sport SV, 😊
U will definitely have to get over to Ireland there is some great driving roads eg Giants Causeway
Good content Matt. Physcho analysis using your car knowledge and preferences😂
Hi Matt, would love to welcome you to the Emerald Isle be sure to swing by the sunny south east 😎. Love the videos, honestly look forward to each and every one. Cheers from Ireland!
Thanks! I look forward to it
Great video Matt, the inside track on Matt the entrepreneur was very interesting. I totally agree with you about keeping things private when you're on the social media scene is a good rule to have people can be demanding. Anyway I like the idea on a road trip looking at the culture of the car..
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
When in Ireland go to the Dingle Peninsula, interesting roads...
Love the honesty Matt. Look forward to your road trip here to the emerald Isle. If you need some ideas give me a shout as I work in the tourisim industry
Thanks!
Mat, should I buy a Merc SLK55 AMG? love the channel
Love the content as always Matt.
I live in Ripon myself and have purposely driven past the garage where your AMG GT is several times. Id love it if i had the money as i know it would have been looked after 😊
Very cool!
When you give the garage a renovation, video its progress for the High Peak Property Channel
I actually liked that bingo hoodie, I would wear it in public, Great video and content as always. Be good to see you do road trips/challenges alongside your normal content.
Excellent video Matt. I’ve been following you from Ireland for a longtime now. Would be great to see you do a video here during the summer. Just an idea but you could do a comparison on how much we pay for cars here compared to the UK. I think you’d be surprised if not shocked at how much we get robbed!
I love the Properties channel, very interesting to me as its something I'd like to get into. I didn't think it was the least bit braggy! Very informative, very open and genuine. I understand about the telling too much, you did go into good detail, and I'd like to have seen even more in depth to it, but I get you want some privacy! Great q&a and please..... more disgruntled customer stories! 😂😂😂
Thank you! Maybe one day
Matt. If or when you get to Ireland, here in Northern Ireland we buy a lot of English registered cars. And why so many use large SUVs for the school run.
Mustang review…sounds like a reason to head back to California for a road trip! Let me know 😎😁
Hi if your planning a trip to Ireland a drive over to Clifden in Connemara is a good option…it’s a beautiful
Little Town on the far west coast where Alcock and Brown landed on the first trans Atlantic flight (they were headed for Blackpool!) and you can film at the monument…fantastic roads in the locality around the Lochs as well and really good pubs with Irish music…Lowry’s pub is fantastic.

You know you were right re your house channel 👍🏼⭐️
Thanks Matt, as ever that was most enlightening.
May I suggest where you might be in five years time? You are a natural as a TV presenter. You will have your own show on UA-cam, like others that were originally on terrestrial TV, and you will be able to indulge your desire for road trip challenges, be an authoritative reviewer of cars, and generally presenting an honest and entertaining take on the motoring world. I think this is where your heart lies, and you will be oh so good at it!
Do go to Ireland. You will love it...
Please please please can you do a mix video with all your Partidge quotes throughout your time doing this wonderful channel. My mate isn't into cars at all but always watched when I send him a link to one with a Partridge quote.
That’s saaaaddd
I recently bought a 2018 Skoda Superb Estate 1.4TSi ACT DSG with 127k miles for £7500 and can't fault it. In the just under 2k miles I've done in the last 6 weeks I've averaged just over 43mpg. Ok so I cant speak for the long term reliability personally but......
Oh and in no way do I find t underpowered although admittedly it's no GTi :)
Matt, if you would like to try one then I'm not a million miles away from you near Leigh
The only issue I have with it (which from research is common to many VAG products) is an Intermittent "SOS Error. Please contact dealer" however so far it's always cleared itself and other than a temporary orange triangle of impending doom has no effect on the cars operation (the green light by the coms button remains illuminated at all time suggesting the SOS functionality is actually available and this is more likely just an initialisation issue (eg maybe not getting proper cell coverage)
Superb 👍
I had a grey import - a Mitsubishi Pajero 1994. It had only done 80k by 2007, and then on closer inspection, it was kilometers, not miles. Worth having in my opinion.
Sure pop over to Ireland, there's some nice roads and scenery to be seen, Try a road trip to Cork/Kerry, just an idea... Loving the channel mate ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Sounds great!
It's absolutely true of a lot of business. Even in my business of nightclubs in London, January and February are notorious at being dead; yet they have been busy. March was dead and the proverbial dodo, but we put this down to credit card bills coming up and the first rent quarter. Since Covid, business has been a rollercoaster and everything is turned on it's head. Bank Holidays were our bread and butter but now they are the quietest times of the year. But yes, you really do need to pan out the P&L's over twelve months. It is is interesting to hear and read how your business and my business seem to follow the same traits despite them being totally utterly different other than the gratification people get from buying a new car and having a fun night out.
Should not be ashamed of your success, and I get the impression you sometimes pinch your self to make sure it’s real and how you got there. Just keep on doing what you do as i look forward to your UA-cam content regularly
Thanks Parvin
Bit of a side line idea for you. What about a car storage offering to the market whereby you store the cars for clients and you have space for your own collection.
Defo review the mustang if you get the chance
The facelift L322 is the best for me
most important question yet,,,,, when are you going to replace your Red XJR with a X350 one?
Damn I was hoping I'd see my question there ^^. I'm struggling to pick between new M3 and used M5 and still wondering what would be your pick.
Said them big logo jumpers would be a problem one day 👍👍👍👍
Great video, as usual.
They cant be that bad. Without Rover, there wouldn't be a Range Rover!
80's classic - Lancia 037 needed for your collection
Nice video, hope u had a good Easter, do you watch other UA-cam channels, if so, is there any cars you'd like to own yourself that they have, my favourite is Harry's Garage Jag XJC
nice video
Hi Matt a very hearty congratulations for your channel and the success it has had . This year I celebrate my birthday and for the first time in my life I want to buy myself a present I am thinking of getting myself a sports car which I can drive around Europe or the Amalfi coast South of Spain. Currently I drive a discovery daily, could you suggest some car which has some character and a good pedigree and does not cost a fortune to maintain and service it has to be ULEZ compliant as sometimes I might need to get into ULEZ zones. Cheers mate
The problem with Japanese imports used to be the lack of under seal, presumably because they don’t salt the roads, so actually when they were imported into the UK, they rust far worse unless they are treated🏴🇬🇧
Ireland is a defo. i do the 25-30 min easy jet flight to Belfast once or twice a year from my home city Edinburgh ..ps: you promised me Edinburgh was on your bucket list cause im from there...also North Scotland is incredible...cheers for vid
Excellent video 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👏👏⭐️⭐️
Hi Matt another good vid I'm watching you now thinking you look like the guy in the Hastings car insurance add
Wild Atlantic way Irish road trip
Keep it up Matt and please take some time to yourself. #health&wellbeing
I’m working on it
I really hope you can fulfil your dream of having a small holding.
It's something we've yearned for for many years.
Good luck and thanks for the great content 💪💪
I hope so too! It’s an idea which excites me tbh
Hi Matt I'm after a SUV Budget 7- 9k to pull a caravan what would you recommend, 2013 Landrover freelander 2, or spend abit more and get something more newer. L9ve the UA-cam channel keep up the great work 👍
Would like a BMW 330e 2019+ review.
For an ordinary 5/8, doing less than 10k miles , what new car would you recommend would like a new suv
when going to Ireland dont miss out on Donegal like everyone does (common mistake)
i agree matt, some stuff needs to be kept private to you, or else you will have all sorts of weirdos turning up at ur house!
12:47 I was walking in London last year with a friend. And every time we saw a Qashqai we said "Al right guys how's it going, welcome back". We'll be back to do the same later this year :D.
Haha really
@@HighPeakAutos Yeah, sorry about that. We do share the 'love' for Qashqais though. Yuck.
Good night from the Netherlands!
Hi Matt, what's your comment on a mercedes c200 CGI, is it a reliable car in teams of the engine
