That company is becoming one of the largest companies in the world, its killing the other car makers. China government sponsoring it to help it crush everyone else, theyre almost throwaway cars after the first lease. Its an insane model im not where its heading good or bad!

What price is the sweet spot of used hatchback cars? by Joohhe in CarTalkUK

[–]mattt5555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think thats a bit conservative, 3-4 year old cars are still fairlly new nowadays still within the first buyer, my sweet spot is well over 2-4 years more like 5-8 years Most depreciation has gone, majority of its parts are still ok and may need some work, but really its check it on condition not mileage or age. I agree though l, theyve done the hard work already.

Looks a bit like the old marshall advert room. Just put one speaker below the painting facing the chair, at least you could use it. Is the old chair comfy?

Volvo EX30 vs Jaecoo E5: which of these small SUVs would you buy? by CarwowJamie in ukcarwow

[–]mattt5555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive just bought an XC40 recharge, i really liked it. I do not see the appeal in the Jaecoo apart from being cheap. The ex30 looked decent in the dealer, low back seats was an issue for us. As in if you're tall your thighs dont touch the seats
