    The BMW 4 Series Coupe can be seen as either a more stylish 3 Series saloon with a larger boot, or a four-door version of the regular 4 Series Coupe. But does it work in the real world and is it worth the extra money?

    How unfortunate that a native English speaker is discriminated on her accent. The lady had a clear and energetic delivery. I think she did a great job. I could not have done half as good review.

    What's with the hate? I hope the presenter doesn't read the comments. She's doing just fine. She did nothing wrong. Her voice doesn't sound robotic or scripted. Yeah, she's not having all the fun that maybe Mat is having .. not yet at least .. but that doesn't mean that she's doing a bad job. She's lovely and seems to know what she's supposed to talk about. Keep up the work, it's just people hating on changes.

    I think this review is pretty straight forward. I own a 2019 430 gran coupe and its a super fun car to drive compared to an Audi and gives better gas mileage along side the interior tech features are very hard to fins elsewhere. I do have to state that the Audi is a smoother ride but its not a technologically sound or as fun to drive but Audi has the best price fro tech, luxury and brand.

    I don't get the negative comments about the voice or accent? Sounds perfectly fine for my German ears, must be a British thing... i can certainly hear the difference between different British accents, but none of them have a negative connotation from the get-go. It depends on each individual person and not an entire accent.

    You can tell when motoring journalists have children or not... it is unlikely you'll have a child in the middle seat at the back because they need to have a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm tall. Few child car seats will fit the middle seat AND make it comfortable for those on the outer rear seats.
