young Jordan Peterson

I've had my C55 for 4 yrs, and initially I felt the suspension was quite harsh and "crashy" but then I discovered my engine and trans mounts were shot - new ones transformed the car, very smooth and firmish - certainly not hard. If I could change anything, I'd have a quicker steering rack with more feel, and add an extra cog or 2 in the transmission, as the gears are just too long. Other than that I love it - no rattles and the interior is immaculate for a 20yr old car that has had 8 owners. Whilst they are reliable, things do go wrong, and in in order to keep them maintained, you do have to commit to spending money on them. Wife hates it, but I just can't part with it....ha ha

How many Km did this car have when you bought it?

Awesome car

Underrated channel nice and informative Who cares about the voice if the info and the content is right and organized

bro not to make fun, but what is this thing with your voice? Nice video tho :)

Good review. Cheers.

Hopefully no more dollars 💸 needed bro 😎

That sucks. Few rebuilders have the skill, knowledge or equipment to properly rebuild a car. Rebuilds are usually gambles.

i doubt half the parts listed were replaced

dafaq with your voice

Rip

Sounds like your voice is cracking maybe your mic? Nothing more expensive than a cheap car. Take this as a lesson.

This is the car to drive , if you need a luxurious car go buy a mercedes GLE ,Volvo Xc 90 Bmw X5 or an Audi SQ5 , ,this car will take you anywhere conveniently with low fuel consumption without breaking your bank!

Nice to whom? How do you treat, the darker skinned folk? The original natives.

If it could work in my country? 😂 In Hungary? Not under the current rules and exams.

Tesla does take some unconventional approaches to car design, but it's nowhere near the level of Mercedes in its prime. What Mercedes introduced soon became standard for all cars of all manufacturers: programmable crumple zones, ABS, ESP, airbags, parking radars etc. Btw Mercedes was the first to certify Level 3 Autopilot, not Tesla. Tesla engineers do cool things, but that doesn't make Tesla the new Mercedes anyway

With just a few cars on road, it's easier to get good safety number, but an Autobahn on USA, Brazil or other country with a lot of people and a lot of reckless drivers is asking for a blood painted road.

Autobahn safety stats are below EU average. It's not safe to drive that fast. But germans will defend no speed limits like americans defend the right to bear arms.

When I was driving through Germany, the average speed on a busy day was about 120-130 km/h. Everyone kept their distance and the difference between the right lane's average speed and the left one wasn't significant, which made changing lanes easy. Only in the evening when the highway was nearly empty I was passed by a BMW going over 250km/h while I was cruising 180km/h in the rightmost lane lol.

I happen to live in Germany and just got my drivers license today. I just wanted to add, that it's not like you can drive incredibly fast on the Autobahn, facing no consequences. If you crash at a speed of more than 130 kph, you have to prove, the accident also would have happened if you were driving slower. Even then they might say it was your fault as well, because of your inappropriate speed. I also wanted to add, that 2500€ is quite average for a drivers license. Each time you fail the practical exam, you have to pay about 450€ to 500€,if you want to try again, which happens to every second German driver on average (according to my driving instructor). But if you will ever get your license withdrawn by the police it will cost a fortune to get it back. It depends on the case but if you get caught driving drunk for example, you might need a psychological report in order to get your license back.

holy shit the voice is annoying as fuck

First off, really nice video! You probably get this a lot, but I was at first a bit irritated by your voice. Is it just your normal voice, or is there some kind of back story to it? I don't mean this as an insult. Just genuine interest. Although I'm fine with getting my comment deleted, if it's a sensitive subject to you.

There's a point to parking straight in, most of the time said parking lot is at a food store, and it makes accessing the boot to put groceries in way easier.

i'm your initial 100 subscriber dude.....let's meet in future

I'm listening to this on my Samsung A7 Lite Tablet, and oddly.. Depending on how I focus, I can hear you with 2 different voices, one more feminine and the other was more masculine😅 something may be wrong with the audio lol

your voice sounds like it’s switching to grown man to old lady 😂 man idk if am high

Confusing, uninteresting, voice that makes e question whether your still in puberty, and last of all trying to act like a professional channel at 100 subs.

Mate, are you reviewing New Zealand or the Car? Abit misleading on the title, you did review the car for for a little bit but instead of going in-depth with the car you went more in-depth with New Zealand. 😒

I didn't understand anything what you are trying to say. Please learn to communicate with clarity. Your video must show what you are saying.

what's wrong with your voice?

what the fuck is wrong with your voice? take your testosterone tablets daily.

Okay cool

High compression engines have 'knock sensors' that retard the timing to avoid detonation.

Anything built in the last 30 years can run on whatever octane is available, the ecu will limit timing and richen the mixture to prevent pre ignition, and direct Injection improves the ability to handle lower octane fuel, i would recommend Top Tier fuel (in the US) or an occasional quality system cleaner.

Read the owner's manual; do what it says. Most vehicles only need the low octane fuel. High compression engines (such as in high revving sportsbikes) will require the more expensive higher octane fuel.

My engines compression ratio is 12.5:1

This depends on how much of a 💩 box it is. When the carbon build-up on the top of your piston and on the surface of your head is really bad, this increases compression. In this case, you may want to run a higher octane fuel because your compression is no longer at factory specs and the car is probably not worth rebuilding the engine.

"You're 17“. Says the bro who sounds 17.

Simply look at the fuel recommendations in the owners manual. Don't have an owners manual? Get one! Only use premium fuel if the manufacturer recommends it. It's typically required with high output engines, which can include a lot of non-sports car models. In New Mexico, it's common to see 86 octane fuel, which I hate. The owners manual says to use 87, which forces me to use mid-grade. I saw in a forum that 86 octane is sometimes used at higher elevations, where it is OK to use. Well, I live at 6,000 feet in AZ and we have nothing lower than 87 around here. I can't bring myself to use 86. Besides, what if I fill up with 86 in the mountains and then drive to a lower elevation? Nope, not worth it to me.

In the Netherlands you do not have a choise because old s^!tbox need less Ethanol fuel wich is the 98...

When I was on my motorbike learners I rode the speed limit, not the 80km/h limit imposed on "learners". I'm not gonna sit on the highway on an underpowered motorbike going 30km/h below the posted speed limit while trucks are flying past me. That's asking to become a statistic. Stupid thing is the regulations differ by state/territory yet every Australian drivers licence is valid anywhere in Australia.

Hooray, finally we hear from someone who knows what he is talking about when it come to "OCTANE", and thankyou mate. I learnt about it with the RR Merlin engine that throughout WWII continually increased the horse power by increasing the compression with supercharging. I think this is when 100 octane came about. As the boost continued to rise, so did the octane. By the end of the war the Merlin was running on 150 Octane (please feel free to correct me, I'm only going by memory here). Having said all that I did use 95 & 98 in a fuel injected vehicle in the late 1990s because 91 at the time was full of crap that blocked injectors and baskets (here in Aus atleast). These days I only drive a 1996 Commadore and it only drinks 91. I also use a 1944 truck with a 202 holden conversion. The old Red Motor hates 91, it was built to run on Super petrol back in the day which is about 95 to 98 octane. The only fuel it really likes is 100 octane Avgas, just saying.

There's one "brand" of duel I'll never put in my car again, and it's all about mileage - this brand gives about half the economy of the top one or two ... I also have a mate who worked 35 years in the fuel industry, and told me early on that the 91 octane fuel was significantly less stable than either 95 or 98 octane.

Good video !

The only time you should be using 98 (or anything rated higher than that) is when the manufacturer calls for it. From personal experience, I wouldn't recommend "cheaping out" on engines that call for 98 but *can* be run on 95 per the manufacturer - you'll get slightly worse gas-mileage and less power. And anything higher than 98 is usually a waste of money. Unless the engine is specifically tuned to run on V-Power/Ultimate/whatever - IIRC some higher-end Porsches came set up like that from the factory and some tuned cars might be set up for higher rated fuels than 98 octane. But these cases are rare indeed and folks who own a car like that will probably know.

If you have to use a socket wrench on the tension roller, loosen the top engine mount to drop the engine slightly to get the socket wrench on. It is a lot more work, and helps to have a jack under the engine! Will be making my own special bar once my welder gets here!

Can you message the alternator part number please someone stole mine off the car 😢

Would you mind me ask how many kms on it I have the same Mazda 2 2011, my has 270000 kms, don't know how far from replacing
