That's right, unluckiky, it's the story as companies always want rising profits. Luckily there are still some new ones coming on.

Purely from drivability point, I liked it, although I am aware of potential reliability issues of it.

Indeed😊. Scala has comfy damping. Fabia has a more sporty one, even without Sports chassis option.

@upshifter Thanks for your speedy reply. 👍🏻

I have to be honest, I didn´t drive new or previous Corolla yet (I drove new Yaris and last gen of C-HR). But from what I saw, when I just looked at its conception, wheel geometry, I am of opinion, Corolla will be a more resolved car in corners. Skoda on the other hand will probably be better noise isolated on the motorway. Generally, I would take Japanese. So Corolla or Mazda3. :)

@upshifter Thank you for taking the time to reply! And thanks for your video, it has been just what I needed for the Scala experience through and through. I am more inclined towards the Corolla for the atmospheric engine albeit being 3 cylinder, but the Scala looks like it has better passenger comfort and noise isolation. If it was so easy to decide...

@aleksandarkostadinov3284 I think, take the Toyota. It will be more reliable and Japanese know how to do chassis as well. And if it's a Hybrid, the fuel consumption will be just Incredible!

Yeah but also if Peugeot can take 100kW for longer time, in the end it can charge in the same time or close to as Ioniq5 with higher max but for very short time. From what I talked with Stelantis engineers, they are taking approach of saving battery from long term.

Unluckily didn't try yet. Maybe in the future! 😊 Could be interesting though.

I will try to make it happen next year. ;)

Sure it is! I love current gen of PEUGEOT cars. I completely understand your reasonable opinion on why to not get one. From my point, I gotta say I like peacefulness of EVs on long travels, other than that, they can be a pain...

You mean the too upward seating position? Seemed like a church pew. 😜😂

Thank you! Very happy to help. This was one of my most favourite SUV ever so far.

@@michaelgerrardtyson4197 Hahaha good one. 😎 Well at least I am not in the same gear and get more sensitive acceleration out of some off-camber corners. 😁

The damping is on the stiffer side yes, but the way of balance it goes through is quite comfy. The problem with these sort of cars is how high the driver is sitting and how short the wheelbase is compared to its height. It will never be as comfortable as a well resolved saloon type of car.

@@upshifter Comfortable in certain things and less in others, cars are always a compromise. I have spent a year driving my girlfriend's Suzuki Swift so the Austral will feel like a Maybach lol

@@RogerMorello-d8u In some aspects it will, in others Swift is KING. Like that happy lightweight feeling behind the wheel, throwing it into corners.😜😎

@@upshifter Yep bro, Swiftie will always be in my heart. And the good thing is it still remains in the family as the wife's car so win all round lol.

I understand. But it is possible to get over that, Alfa Giulia has the same problem, yet the driver's experience is such that I wouldn't mind. ;)

Thanks mate, glad it informed you about what I feel were important new aspects of the car.🙌😊 Happy to help.

We already discussed in earlier comments.

Hi, with 2023 facelift hp´s increased from 109 to 122.

Fantastic to hear! Enjoy your new car mate! Have fun and countless memories from behind the steering wheel!💙🔥

Has it arrived? I'm also waiting for my 208 GT Hybrid 136 and it was delayed as well. It should have arrived in the middle of September, now my car dealer said it's supposed to arrive in 2-3 weeks 🫠

@@kevink9884 I hope it arrives soon to you mate! So you can enjoy its fun to drive chassis. 😎🔥

@@kevink9884 Unfortunately, the car has still not arrived. The contract stated 01.08.2024, Peugeot then informed me of October 16. My dealer told me on Tuesday that the car should finally be on its way. Hopefully it will arrive by the end of next week. 🚘🫤

@@lionstarpictures8813 I wish you the best luck that it will arrive soon! My car dealer said something about a new model of the 208 being built, so maybe we´re getting a new revision of the 208 but I´m not sure about that.

Torres looks great and is spacious, but has rather bad fuel economy. This while for the class is still higher, but is overall more economical as it is smaller and more nimble and dynamic thanks to being lighter.😎

Thank you mate. Personally I always sit as low as it is possible. In case of piano buttons, I didn't mind them, but it is true that if they vere vertically positioned, it would be more comfortable to approach them. 😊

Thank you! You know what is greatest about it? It's aerodynamics, 0.27Cd, plays a massive role in its everyday efficiency!🙌🔥 The best value in between this size of normal engined SUVs (not EV SUVs)

If I remember well, no. But I got accustomed to it.😏 It's so sad, being accustomed to overregulation.

Sure they can. One way is holding button on steering wheel (LIM for sign recognition for example) or via infotainment or permanently via OBD2

Certainly. Drives well on the road, looks tough and is really spacious. 🙌

Peugeot is interesting, because it's both comfortable and fun to drive despite that bit of softness. Junior is small SUV, which means higher centre of gravity, together with shorter wheelbase. But I do believe in terms of suspension, Alfa Romeo engineers did a great job for driving fun and engagement as they always do. But Junior might have slightly worse fuel economy particularly because of worse drag coefficient than the Peugeot.

Thank you. Definitely, I was really surprised by the car. Loved it. If I had a family and needed a practical car, I would go for it.

Thanks mate, I didn't know this. Puma must be so much fun!💪😜

Really? From when I last looked at their site. It looked they also sell this REV, than they have 2.0 Petrol normal engine in the car and of course EV as well.

@@upshifter I tried copy/pasting a link to their site, but seems like it's not an option.

It's good! I was so surprised, did like 1500km in it. And consumption was low also on motorway. No fear of not cooling down the turbo. My first car was Clio 3 16v. Predecessor of this we can say.

Une Clio est plus performante?

Yes it did have on paper, 78 hp. It might have been slightly better in acceleration.

Et qu'aurait donné avec une boîte 6 vitesses?

@@DouleurDollar Un peu plus de performance...

Not really, it was happy to go even from 130. But of course it's not a powerhouse, still a normal car.

Super otázka. Chrbát sa počas jazdy nepotil, v zmysel že by nejaká kvapka stekala alebo bolo mokré tričko. Samozrejme nejaké teplo sa sedením vybudovalo. Čomu už ale ani tieto poťahy nevedeli zabrániť bolo sedenie vo vypnutom aute na slnku s otvorenými dverami, pretože sme prišli výrazne skôr do hotela, a tak sme chceli počkať do správneho času ubytovania sa. 😊

@@stefanmagez8404 you are definitely not alone in that. But I drove the car in the sport mode, and in this mode, it isn't as intense as it doesn't have to charge the battery as much.

That´s great, I actually thought I would prefer it more with Manual. Enjoy your car!👌

That's right! And 10 gears 😎

At least some advantages here in the Eastern Europe then 😵😜

Depends on what you're looking for. From point of maintenance, it's not bad. Easy and Cheap to change.

That might be. Or are we spoiled?🥺😜

Its based on commercial car. If you crack full led light original part costs around 1000€, halogen light costs max 100€. But full leds should be at least an option. There will be some leds in time on secondary market for sure.

I have to agree with the Halogen lights downgrade as my 2019 Jeep has them and it’s not a budget car. They really are average nowadays.

It's really great!👏

What do you mean? I just accelerated for a small monent.

If there will be RWD Available, I will try. It's a great car.

Thank you for your support mate, I will try. 💪

Platinum Quartz is the name

Thank you very much. I have yet no experience with transporting stuff on a pick-up truck and using it to full potential.

Ahahahah yeah, 2nd gear was crunchy sometimes. It was harder to go in, and therefore sometimes I was too quick with the clutch.

That's interesting. So you have massive potentially dangerous freedom pick-up trucks on one hand, but on the other the law maker has for some reason problems with digital mirrors. 🤔

@@upshifter US regulation moves at the speed of a snail on a treadmill.

Is this Ioniq 6 you EV car of choice or would you rather take sth else?

That's right. The problem is, it seems that it's impossible for rotary to run without eating so much oil. But for some reason, this car stayed in my heart. It's quirky, and has range even for long travels.

Unluckily, weather was shite for off-roading, 35 celsius and dry AF... So could not find anything really really that tough.... more will be in the review video.

@upshifter TBH, I won't buy that. 30 year old toyota landcruiser or Hilux would climb the everest without breaking a sweat. These new 4x4 pickup trucks are designed to carry crates of beer from supermarket to your door, they are made for asphalt and a bit of green laning. These are not made for proper offroading. I recommend you to try thennew hilux and see the difference. I am looking forward to sseing that.

Do you believe Hilux is this old school pick-up?

Well I haven't driven a Hilux yet. But I always considered Ranger to be on pair. At least on paper.
