I'm surprised and happy that Skoda is getting attention
Is the Nissan Arya better than the Kia EV6? Possibly the interior maybe? If the Sportage had an electric option I reckon it would have pipped it's little brother Niro and possibly cousin Tucson as well.

The Ariya is a more practical car and better serves the 'Best Large Electric Car' category. Don't get us wrong, there's plenty to like about the Kia EV6 - we're big fans!
Cars getting so pricey this year, it's not even funny, we ordered our in march 2022, was delivered at the early summer, since then, same model in exact specs increases its tag by 12%.

the best car here is the one with out faults and recalls you never say anything faults take all the plastic of these vehicles you can not go anywhere remember plastic is bad for the planet when I look on Internet for faults with these vehicles they all have faults so how can they be good vehicles

So glad! Thanks.
Any of the nice looking electric cars like Kia ev6 or Mustang Mach e are expensive to buy 47 grand upwards, any affordable ones look rubbish or like something your gran would drive that I wouldn't want get seen in, like Renault Zoe or nissan leaf lol, I happily stick with petrol cars for now till electric cars are more affordable, the new mg4 electric car looks good , so for me would be worth considering as it starts at 25995 brand new an it looks similar to the cupra born which is 35 grand 🤔
PHEVs are the way to go as you can run on whatever energy source is the cheapest at the time. Great review guys and I'm glad to see a very unbias comparison.

Skoda are solid reliable cars. Buy one outright and keep it long term is the best way.
Well I dont normally take much notice of these sort of “best of” car category videos but have to say I agree with a lot of it, except the electric cars as they are still not practical enough for most people and wont be any good until they develop a new power source which I believe Toyota is doing. Glad to see Skodas, the Fabia DSG is actually the top car on my list as my next car soon as a very long term cash buy. Im used to AWD but dont really need one most of the time.
How can these be 2023 awards if we are still in 2022? 🤨

The problem is that since the overall prices are ballooning, Dacia is also somewhat expensive right now, the target audience can not longer afford these cars, as chasing used ones, or even stick with the current vehicles, and other people just go for more established brands.

It's a shame we need to respond to messages like this, but to clarify: our content is 100% independent. No sponsorship - for our reviews, or our awards. The fact is, these manufacturers are making fantastic cars right now and others are playing catch-up. The market could look quite different in 12 months time - something we're super excited to see!

@@oddities-whatnot They are comfort cars. To go around city, go shopping and take people. Look at new Civic. It's doing ALL the same stuff as any suv does. big hatch and all but you sit very low in it like in the 90s car. I would love to have the civic but I know I will get tired of crawling inside it
Basically the usual suspects, except you actually choose a Nissan 😱, shock horror, I suppose that's progress 🤣
They seem to always pick the ugliest looking cars as car of the year.
