Actually you should be concerned, because it could mean that the quality of the fuel you use, is lower than recommended by the brand. Modern engines will adapt to the low octane fuel, but on the long run it will surely harm your engine.

Hello Mat. I want to point out something that is missing in many review channels and that is reliablity and brand information. What I mean is if you review a perfect car from consumer point of view- nice interior, nice controls etc. but if the brand has too many faults in their cars that also should be under consideration. If i buy car for myself and the car is perfect from the outside and inside but from a brand that i dont like because of their low overall quality I wont bother buying it at all. Dont know if im correct but it sounds logically.

Andro Dimitrov if this is in context of this video it doesn't have a place here. This video is about test driving cars. What you're talking about is a process that should've happened before even going to a dealership and asking for a test drive. You wouldn't just go to a dealership and ask for cars to test without knowing anything about them - at least i wouldnt - its not a smart thing to do.

If the considered car is good for you, you should forget all the bad talks about brand, cause you not gonna buy all the model line. You buy only this one and it does fit you well - so why don't buy? Maybe it's an exception of the rule, can't it be possible? I think, claiming all the whole brand good or bad completely is a big mistake. Every brand has both good and bad products.

One thing with handling is if you live somewhere it snows it's a really good idea if you can to test drive the car when it's slippery in the winter. In my experience it can be night and day with some cars understeering a lot, but once the rear end steps out it comes suddenly and other cars being quite predictable and easy to point in the right direction. Small roundabouts with little traffic are great places to test how the car behaves when it starts to slide at a low speed. ESP/traction control systems can also vary a lot. Some are quite jerky and give a sudden and dangerous correction once they detect a slide and some traction control systems are so intrusive it can be hard to get up a slippery hill, even when they are turned "off" (on a lot of cars you can't turn it off). It's also a good idea regardless to learn how your ESP system behaves so you're prepared for its correction should you come into a sticky situation. It can't stop you steering into a ditch.

Tried to fit 3 people in the back of 718. Didnt`t work.

Hi there Mat! Small Tip to add to the video: Don't forget to see if there's a car behind you when you're checking the brakes. Cheers!

Last year my mum bought a 2018 Kia Sportage and we test drove a 2016 model

You missed the most important advice: Make sure to take note on what extra or specific options fitted on the test car. Maybe the handling was excellent on the test car, but that was because of 3k extra Air suspension and rear-axle steering. Really annoying to forget to order those extras and the handling will become different on the custom ordered one if leaving those options out. Same could be said for almost any option. If the seats doesn't feel well there might be an other option that is more comfy, and so on...

That green subie though

Great video, but there was no mention of the flick test, the water bottle test nor the stick of truth. All 100% legitimate test drive methodologies. :p

Go Mat!👊🏼

Ive done a couple of test drives, and almost every time the salesmen doesnt care about me. Had 2 volvos, sold those just because of the service. Bought an qashqai instead. It is more noisy and less comfy Yeah. But more modern, more rugged for my Need and Daym the service is AMAZING. Gonna buy an leaf as a daily driver as well

Mat owns the car? No, he explained in his video about this car that it is a Volvo XC60 press car from the press fleet, on loan! I think soon, he was saying he is hoping to get an Audi S6 or something as a loan car from the Audi press fleet... Actually, he's had this XC60 on loan for quite a while now, and hardly shown us anything about it...!

Pull up the trunk floor to see whether the car has a spare tire, also check whether the floor is made of plastic and whether it is sturdy enough to put heavy items or to sit. Case in point: the Golf Mat is driving has trunk floor which is made of plastic and does not rest on a sturdy metal piece, so you cannot sit there. Imagine going skiing, you want to put your boots on, but you cannot sit on the rear bumper/trunk - this sucks.

Matt, I'm sorry to say that I was too distracted by the lack of symmetry in your shirt to listen to what you were saying.

Borrow it for a day or two? I only wish. I live in the wrong country I guess, but a test drive over here lasts about 20 minutes. 30 if you are lucky. I was once able to test drive a car for 40 minutes straight, because there was an accident on the road leading back to the dealership and we were stuck in traffic.

I cans save you a lot of time and worries, if you like VW Golf go and buy it it ticks all the boxes any way. If you don't you are a car person you buy with your heart so go and take the car you like - all in all modern cars offer quite the same follow your heart and don't regret the choice :)

Seems like a hassle, I just watch carwow review of the car

It was more like an instruction "how to make car review". Wandering why Mat didn't mention not to forget stick of truth...

There are two ways of buying a car. With you brain and with your heart. If you are buying it with your brain, you consider all these steps, shortlist a few cars, and then decide. Which is a good, logical, practical way of buying a car. But if you are that 1% of lucky people who can buy their dream car, then lucky you. You can buy any car, but you dont, you have that dream car in your mind, you just walk into a dealership and yell: That one in blue!

so, basically recreate carwow's review video, minus the easter egg

1. Go on about soft touch plastics. All. The. Time. This is more important than mechanicals. 2. Talk about how the steering wheel not adjusting for reach is the worst thing since Hitler. 3. Drive on a deserted road like a 16 year old joy rider and if it doesn't drive like a BUGATTI VEYRON diss it. 4. Under no circumstances consider whether or not the car is easy to live with in the long term. 5. "Fun", Cubbies and door bins are worth far more consideration that long-term satisfaction or reliability. 6. Real Men Don't Like Automatics. Snigger like Beavis and Butthead at any CVT you drive. 7. Any car below £20,000 is "a really cheap car." Not in most people's worlds, but the reviewers'.

11. How many 1.5 liter bottles the car can hold

If you plan to connect your phone to the car via Bluetooth, you'll want to test how easy & quick it is to connect. Some systems can be infuriating.

Yep but also use the car as if its heading for the scrap, hack at the buttons/controls, close the doors like you wanna smash them, bounce up and down on the seats, make all the tyres go bald by skidding etc etc etc... in other words be like crazed chimp in there (just like Matt lol)...No wonder they don't let Matt review cars like a bugatti veyron xD
