    Mike, I remember you once saying, ' If you buy a Peugeot 306, you'll never need another'. Mine's a 1997 XUD9TE 1.9 turbo diesel, which I've owned from new, now on 86,000 miles. Just got it MOT'd today and had the coolant changed, as I don't have a pit at home. I'm vigilant about oil and filter changes and have undersealed it every fifth year. No electronics and a simple mechanical fuel pump makes it supremely reliable.

    Okay but the Corsa since 2020? is really a Peugeot 208. A JLR product winning an award, other than an unreliability award!

      I genuinely don't understand why I keep seeing this same boring comment in relation to every Vauxhall related video, Loads of cars share the same platform, is a Seat the same as an Audi or Skoda same as a VW? No but they share a platform.

    Been a professional dealer for 40 + years and I have to disagree about the Corsa also, second hand examples are nearly always bought by young drivers who rarely look after them, they break " alot" the wet belt engines are truly awful, ( same as Ford eco boost engines, just dreadful ) and even the earlier ones eat timing belts and camshafts, then we move on to Nissan ( or Renault in disguise ) not a patch on Nissan of old and the Ohh so reliable Datsun of times long past, in fact Nissan just had one of its worst years for reliability issues ! I'd be broke by now if I bought all these vehicles you recommend Mike, modern cars are not a patch on the simplicity of the 70's 80's and 90's machines, and don't even start me on the timeline for bringing petrol and diesel to an end ! 😮 but what do I care ? my time in the Motor Trade is fast coming to a close ..... thank goodness 😂

  • @Taz-wf4jl

      ​@joshua6244 Come on, this CVT fake story must stop! Yes they have a bit higher failure rate than normal automatic gearbox but most of them are good for the life of the car. I own a 2020 xtrail with 150K hard miles. No problems at all with the CVT. They are super smooth and relaxing to drive.
      Don't copy stupid American comments. They complain on every car they have. Even rolls roys!

    Corsa dealers know they sell
    That’s not worthy or ANY awards
    Any Landrover / Rangerover are totally unreliable
    Transit YES this is correct
    Audi charge YOU to diagnose issues with their cars .. and NEVER agree design flaws at best you’ll get is ( dealer contribution to the repair ) so wrong again .
    Toyota good choice
    Nissan watch the unreliable auto gearboxes ( serious design flaw )
    Sorry to be negative but people should know truth !
    Glad no BMW’s were on the list cos they are about as bad as VW German engineering ? That’s a worry then !
