Top quality job of the video mate, you’ve definitely got a good ability with filming. If you ever want to come to binca to do a video I’d be well up for getting you on the channel, you’re someone I’ve watched for years. Would be cool to meet you 👌
Great review James! Came across from your turkey crane video. Have watched your climbs from the hay day prior to censoring on TH-cam😂 keep up the good work, gained a new subscriber.
I have had my full specked Cupra Born in Australia now for six months and love it. We missed out on the heads up display and didn’t get the app. But it’s a great car to drive and I agree with all the comments you made. The Americans are getting all the features that we would both like to have seen in this car like - dual motor and a little bit more get up and go. Good and honest review, thx.
The WLTP range is 550km, 343 miles. Charging times on public charging depend on so many variables, your times need to be taken with a pinch of salt. In D and B mode, slowing down off pedal or pressing the brake always activated regen first, then when stronger braking is required, the mechanical brakes are used.
Love the look of this car, so many little details all tied in 😍 still not convinced I’m ready to take the plunge yet though, my range anxiety is reaaaaaal
Got the same car but a 58 kWh version but mine has the gold and grey alloys and a full pan roof ,although this does not open it lets in loads of light in absolutely love it !
Get our new V3 eboost this week. Some thing you failed to mention is the car with the bigger battery can only carry 2 passengers in the rear due to the bigger battery, also using propper data logging equipment, this car can do 0-60mph in 5.8 secs.
You would love to check out the Mercedes EQS. It has responsive screens, an argument reality HUD and the biggest screen in a car😂. It's quite literally the S-Class of electric vehicles. BTW great Video as always
at 5m10sec, it's not laggy, you're not doing it right. You have to double-click to open the map. And for the lag, the system is using some cache data, this mean the fist time you open a menu, it will take some time, the 2nd time, it will be very quick ! Not that slow and not so complicate after 2 years of use in my Formentor. When you have set up the screen the right way and take habits, it's really practical... Still missing some important fonctionalities though !
Good to know! The map does open with a single tap but it wasn't having it that time 😂 and yeah, you definitely adapt to its ways over time but it definitely needs some work!
It's so silly how much cars are costing us now! Either that or they're taking the p*ss just like the energy companies. A used i3S would be my go to for a small electric car right now
Excellent review, dude. My gf just splashed out on a Formentor VZ2 310. It's quick, looks superb, very comfortable, but fuck me, the infotainment is unusable. It's laggy, difficult to navigate, and overly complicated. I drive an OG M2 LCI, and I'm so thankful the tech is pretty basic and that I have buttons 😂. Anyway, it's a shame that Cupra screwed up with the tech, as the cars are great to drive.
Thanks, dude! I get the Formentor VZ2 next month so a video on that will be coming soon 😍 and yeah, Cupra has so much potential! Great looking cars and awesome to drive but they have some work to do on the infotainment for sure 😂
Enjoy 😁 if you had to choose, which electric car would you go for?
Still think id go for a bmw i4 or ix3
@@jmsterdam yeah, I like the X3's! Still can't get my head around the front grilles on the newer BMW's though 😫

Thanks man! Sounds like a plan 🙏
Very excited to be getting my Born this week. This is probably the best-looking review I've seen yet, keep up the good work!
Thanks and enjoy the car :D
Glad to see the car channel taking off and you doing more of what you love james 😎👌 keep up the great work bro 👏
Thanks mate! Just need to get hold of more cars haha

Thanks, Lewis! :D
Nice informative review, great to see you back James doing what you’re passionate about,, 👍 looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks mate!!

You're a good public speaker and communicator. Good review
Thank you 🙏
I own this car. That was a fair review. Enjoyed that
Thank you!
Well done on the review mate, the best explained one I’ve seen so far.
I’m just waiting for the VZ to come out. 👍
Thanks! 👍
Review production is top notch!
Thank you 😁
Love the look of this car, so many little details all tied in 😍 still not convinced I’m ready to take the plunge yet though, my range anxiety is reaaaaaal
😁 I reckon once ranges hit the 400 mile mark, people will relax a bit more!
I said that 2 years ago. I had anxiety but eventually u kind of just get used to it and it's no drama. I will never go back to an ice car now.
Yeah, it wasn't half as bad as I thought it might be!
Got the same car but a 58 kWh version but mine has the gold and grey alloys and a full pan roof ,although this does not open it lets in loads of light in absolutely love it !
It looks great in your profile pic! Yeah, I bet the sunroof is super nice to have. I'd spec one for sure!

Merci super vidéo. Vous pensez que passer les roues de 20 à 18 pouces fait gagner combien d autonomie ? Merci
Thanks! I'm sure it will help but I can't say how much :)
Excellent review thanks. (But keep a hand on the wheel when driving, naughty!)
Thanks! Yeah, it's a bad habit when filming 😂

Thanks, Fabian! I'd love to get hold of some of the new Mercedes. I've just gotta keep working hard on these videos and hopefully the time will come 😁
Merci excellente vidéo et apprend beaucoup de choses
Thank you!
Which BBC contact did you pinch those rolling shots from? 😍
Hahaha some of these look like a friggin commercial 😂

Very nice energetic review
45k! Ouch! Driving is becoming a rich mans game.. r prices getting out of hand to lower the number of vehicles on the road?

@James Kingston ///CARS I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Formentor. Have you had a chance to test the EV BMW cars yet?
I haven't had a response from BMW yet but I will keep trying 😁 really want to get hold of some of the EV's and the newer M cars!
@James Kingston ///CARS Well, if you can get your hands on the new M2, you're welcome to do a comparison video against my standard M2 LCI 👍
😁 yes! Thanks, buddy!
Sick!
Thanks dude 🙏
Where’s the handbrake?
It's just an electric parking brake 👍
Confess your sin! You did a 0 - 60 test in the New Forest?
Never!
VZ
YES! I'm gonna try and get hold of one to review 👍
Cupra = VW ID + some extra, cheap bling bling plastic...
Most cars nowadays are made like this. It's still a great car and definitely cooler than the ID3 😁
I don't trust electric cars.
This is the major issue for most people!
Any government led program is simply not for our benefit too@@JamesKingstonCars
