    Very good road trip -- those lights are seriously good. It sounds quite refined, even on B roads. Excellent road test, guys, thanks.

    I will have it in 1 month, i hope that i made a good choice. N line hybrid, it seams a perfect car in my eyes, 70 mpg in a city is a realistic number??? Nice road trip, i will go everywhere in Greece with this car

    Well we achieved something similar in terms of mpg on country roads so we would expect similar in the city. Glad you enjoyed part two. Thank you @lefteriskaskaniotis7599

    Yes the twig noise was massively concerning, it made noises varying from brakes down to the rivets, vibration and scraping - that twig was proper jammed though. Speed monitors go off and never take into account the 2or 3% discrepancy, the eye one didn’t even clock it. Safety on new cars is massive overwatch, that’s just how it is. This is an impressive SUV across the board.

    You’re very welcome Damon - it depends on your budget and whether you want ICE or Electric / Hybrid, there’s reviews of all the above somewhere in the channel :) overall it’s economical, enjoyable to drive with a decent warranty. Keep us posted on how you get on.

Asked on 13 February 2019 by Jo Answered by Dan Powell The update to the 2018 MoT rules stipulates that halogen headlamps shouldn’t be converted to HID bulbs. These can usually be identified with a 'DCR' marker on the bulb or a bluish tinge to the light that the unit produces. If the car left the factory with HID headlights then the new rules will not affect its MoT; however, any vehicle with HID aftermarket bulb conversions will automatically
