Random Irritations

[KenL]

My mate has just got a VW id7, looks class.

That id Buzz is so

Vauxhall are the PSA group now and the PSA group make blooming awful cars now!!!

Not sure you needed to qualify that sentence with the word “now”! Anyone who ever drove a Vectra will tell you they’ve been churning out bilge for decades!

 

[KenL]

I’m not generally the sort to be seduced by looks alone, but I’m not sure the Seal can be referred to as a bland box!

That does look good.

Hmm, not sure I completely agree. The X25XE V6 engine was pretty good and had massive tuning potential. Can’t comment on the rest of the car as I whipped the engine out, got it re-bored to 3.0, put a 4kg billet flywheel on it, enlarged throttle body and ported head and inlet then dropped it in my Mk4 Astra.

Was utter bonkers.

It is, the only thing I dislike on my mate’s is the “Tahiti Blue” interior. Looks odd. Would have been better with the black option IMO.

I stress that I base my opinion largely on a marked police Vectra which couldn’t have caught a cold, never mind a stolen milk float.

You have my condolences…

Certainly wouldn’t have caught my frankenastra

I agree on the Jaecoo, ugly as sin (along with Kia EV3, 5 & 9) but the Seal is a very well sculpted gran coupe style saloon not much different front end to Tesla, but with a nicer back end.

We are a global economy now, regardless of what Tangoman thinks, and China will dominate with higher and higher quality product and outputs that no one else can match.

I used the GTi purely as an example of a small, mid powered car carrying a price tag that’s far from deserved.

Personally love the EV5 and 9 .. the 3 is a bit too small but the 5 looks really interesting. It's on my list to replace the wife's car in 2027/8

Each to their own but they look like a 5 year old designed them using only 2x4 Lego blocks.

When they announced the EV9 I had to check it wasn’t April 1st and then that a kids competition hadn’t been run.

Like with most things it's what inside that counts and boy have they built them well Inside with massive boots that use that space from the flat back and got rid of the centre console . Lots of leg room

But then I'm very tempted with a ionic 5 aswell

My mate has Kia ev6, he likes it. Says it is way better than the Audi etron he had before.

Kia's have smashed the market, they make good cars. Where as the id series look good but the performance isn't anywhere near the same. Same with the e Tron. Built the cars like ice cars rather than Efficient

The ev6 is a nice. The ev4 is going to be interesting aswell

Absolutely not, the inside is important but what it looks like is also important.

Reason I wouldn’t have an EV9 is the same reason I wouldn’t have a Range Rover.

Bravo. Hideous orks.

The driving experience is number 1 for me. Love my car, small, quick and incredible handling. It can go round corners way quicker than I would ever attempt.

Driving experience is paramount. But in addition to a nice exterior/interior combo.

Even mine at 5.1m long handles superbly for such a barge, has enough power and a very spacious and well appointed interior but also looks good.

Not so much of a random irritation as a random conundrum.
I'm after a 5 wood as my 3 wood is being binned, but which one?
My thoughts are Elyte, Qi35 or Ping G440.
Anyone out there currently using any of the above?

1st world problems, eh.

My Elyte 3 wood is an utter monster...night and day from the previous Paradym Ai Smoke.....if I was in the market for a 5-wood I'd be straight in for another Elyte with no hesitation.

I can vouch for this in reverse, as I was caught in my Vectra doing 106mph round the M25 late one night, by a police Volvo (unmarked).
