Isn’t it funny how often the critical comments come from default usernames with a string of numbers… For what it’s worth, I think the person who says you shouldn’t add any element of your own opinion is totally wrong. Quite literally almost all car reviewers add their opinion (some much more strongly than you do). If not, it’s basically a cold, spec review without any flair or critique added. They might as well just watch a manufacturer PR video. There is a channel on here that provides such reviews (they’re all really long and factual) but I, and I’m sure most others, watch reviews to get an opinion added in. I’ve watched your channel for over a year now and the quality of your reviews gets better all the time. You definitely deserve more views and subscribers and I hope you get that because you are very consistent, knowledgeable and put a lot of effort in. On top of that, you come across as a decent, friendly person and that goes a long way. Keep going!

It is funny! 😅 Thanks for your comment that is lovely to hear, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my channel for a good while! I always do my best to put my genuine self out there so it’s lovely to see that that’s being recognised 😊

Fab podcast as always Sam 😊 Some interesting cars to look at - how about the new KGM Torres that looks like a total change of direction for Ssangyong. Also how about the Ioniq 5 N and the new Mini? Also you just keep being you, and remember to keep smiling through negative comments! The main reason I love watching your reviews is for your take on stuff - if people just want a spec sheet they can look on a manufacturers website rather than KZread!! Carcode has grown so much since that first review I watched for the MX-30 at Dobsons and you are absolutely the best bit about the channel. So no changes please, just more of the usual Carcode content will do us all fine ☺️ Also looking forward to some Up!dates - I hope your mum is still made up with the Up! 👏🏻👏🏻

Cheers Richard! That’s some great suggestions, I was eyeing up the Ioniq 5N at SMMT but it was veryyyy popular! Thanks again, you’ve been a great supporter from so early on 🙌🏻 My mum is still chuffed with the Up! I look forwards to sharing the Up!dates with everyone soon 😄

The new design of the BMW one series is definitely different! Currently I think the X1 is one of the better looking cars that BMW currently makes right now. Your content is interesting and unique to you so keep up the good work! 👍

I agree I really like the design of the X1 and iX1 they did a really good job of sticking to familiar design whilst making it look fresh too! That means a lot thank you, more on the way 😄

"Jeremy Clarkson definitely isn't a supermodel..." 😂😂😂

BMW 1 series yeah design is close to Kia now. And a review is made up of facts and your opinion on the product, so there is nothing wrong with your reviews. May this channel grow 🙏

I agree it has some Kia vibes, but that makes sense because an ex-BMW designer designed some of the newer Kias! Thanks so much 🙌🏻

Love to see you review Kia EV3 or new Ford Capri (or whatever they end up calling it) when they are available 😊

Thanks for the suggestions! The EV3 seems like it will be very popular from what I’ve seen & the Capri might be a while off since the Explorer is still not quite on UK roads, I’m looking forwards to both of them though it should put Ford back on the radar 👍🏻

Thank you that’s great to hear!

How about going a review of the Motability scheme comparing what cars are value for money on the scheme ,30 months ago I paid £399 advance payment for a Hyundai Ioniq at the moment to get a car of the same quality and spec is the Renault Arkana at £1995 advance payment

I’d like to see your thoughts on the bmw 1 series (f40, 2019 to 2024 generation) if possible. looking at one for my next car and I like your reviewing style!

Thank you, I will keep that in mind!

What a horrible comment from the guy about the T Cross of course your views matter that's what you do on here and all reviewers do that,it's only natural to say what you think of the cars, keep up the good work and I certainly look forward to seeing your reviews

Thanks Alan! I’m sure he thought he was being “helpful” but it certainly had a negative vibe to it! I look forwards to sharing more reviews 😁

I've got used to different reviewers always talking as though their opinion is actually fact, you never actually do that. Carwow always marks down front seats with an adjuster wheel because they're so much slower than a release leaver, What Car's Doug always marks down the leaver variety because they aren't as finely adjustable as the wheel, and both seem to think they're stating accepted fact rather than merely their preferences. Same with the "Real drivers ALWAYS prefer the manual drivetrain" nonsense, it's just personal bias. I don't think it's worth reading negative comments, but again that's only my opinion. Good upload👍

Thanks for another lovely comment! Yes, I try when saying my opinions that they are what I personally think, and not what EVERYONE thinks/should think! I’m aware as well that most car reviewers are huge enthusiasts like myself so we are likely to love things like the manual transmission etc, real consumers often aren’t so bothered by things that would bug me and other content creators and there’s so many cars that are highly praised which discount so many criticisms too.

Since BMW tried to copy Audi with huge kidney grills \ front, the design has tanked imho and I loved my bimmers.

BMW have ruined the 1 series, inside and out. Bloody awful.
