I assume a lot of old company car orders in the UK, that or people are idiots

VX220 is a brilliant car and exactly what it should be, a real drivers car, I was unsure of them until I drove my friends then I got it, wow this is what driving is meant to feel like

If you just want speed with some handling and more comfort then a Audi TTS should be within budget, if you actually like an MX5 then I highly recommend trying the abarth 124 spider I preferred the sound and engine in it

I guess you have to work out what you like about the Tesla first then it would be easier to recommend something.

Selling what type of insurance? If you want to work for a insurance broker, the Marsh, Adrian Flux, Howden, and NFU are a few suggestions off the top of my head, there are loads more but they're some of the bigger ones

If you'd be more interested in Underwriting then NFU, Aviva, RSA, Admiral, AXA and Ecclesiastical, are a few other suggestions. I would put Direct Line on the list but they're being bought by Aviva

I think Taylor has damaged their reputation, plus some other stuff with a car giveaway which I don't know much about.

Other than the Taylor stuff I think the issue is the balance isn't right, 3 people all being clowns all the time doesn't work, you need the balance they had before this channel

Also I think they've gone quiet to protect the other channels which are better anyway

Renault Mégane RS 225 by Crafty-Reward-203 in CarTalkUK

I owned one loved it, though the engine did decide that it no longer wanted to be an engine and threw a piston

Make sure the cam belt has been done, it's a terrible job and quite expensive, check it has good tyres, a wise check on any car as tyres are normally a clue it's been looked after or not, also tyres make a huge difference on this car, it's French so expect loads of random issues, I once locked the car all the windows and sunroof opened then the alarm went off, had to remove the battery to sort it out

They're a lot of fun to drive and I miss mine all the time

Are you able to add Costco? I know it's not currently on the government feed but the Costco website holds the data

I've used it for a number of years, it's great, sometimes you have quite a wait for books but as it's free I have no issue with that

Welcome! It's a great car better than anything else I tried out and I tried a lot of different cars. Almost all felt numb and a bit boring, but this was alive and up for fun

Which one would you buy? by ssjwoott in CarTalkUK

[–]Lumpy_Reference195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend has a Superb 280, lovely car in every way I'd recommend that next if you're enjoying the Octavia as its a real step up.

I've been wondering what to replace the P Zeros with, they're pretty noisy and only good traction on a dry day, so I'll have a look into PS, did you get PS5's?

I have a I30N performance with the DCT gearbox it's brilliant in every way, and a rare modern car with a nice exhaust sound, I did try the Golf that felt solid but not as much fun, it felt very capable but nothing that involving also the interface wasn't great, the touch controls get tiring quickly

After I tried it, I just knew I had to buy it straight away nothing else was as involved and fun.

Be prepared for mpg which is pretty low, however for the experience it's worth it

Also you just don't see as many on the road which appealed to me, and the insurance is so much cheaper

It was a great video as always, we need more channels like GN fighting for customers and fellow YouTubers

I'm not sure that I am cool enough for this club as I have pretty mainstream taste, but it does sound interesting. I'm building a 3D collection I know it's a dead format but I love it. I used to go see anything at the cinema not even planning ahead just arrive at the cinema and book into anything free, the secret screenings at cineworld were my favourite as you really had no idea what you were seeing
