Good review of an interesting car. Very fast, faster than my old Boxster S. Very good for a family car. Like the storage and square shape. Good idea to drive in Eco mode, and swap out as needed. Good to see another Ford that has potential, like the Puma.
£55,000 is an outrageous price, who are Ford kidding, not only that one would have to tolerate hideous Ford dealerships if one was to commit to this car! 😡😡😡
The fact it has the inner workings of VW, including the abysmal interface disqualifies it immediately for me. It is just a new suite, a shell, no thanks. If you're in for a VW though, get this one as it is the best looking VW EV to date ;-)
5,57, the only horse power you need! Not from a few batteries...The cost of it is outrageous & the range is shocking, my 13yr old Passat diesel would easily beat this on range/mpg every time!!
Of course a diesel would beat it on range. Screw everyone else that has to breath the fumes that comes out of your tailpipe though right 👍 I don't disagree with you on the price though, way too much, especially as you can get a skoda on the same platform for 20 grand less.
@timscott3027 The fumes from it are pretty low, considering its age & is 100% working as it should. It will be greener to run than ev's, ie most electricity is from coal etc powered power stations producing electricity
@jamesarmitage8399 That's a common myth, roughly half of electricity in the uk is from renewables overall now, and even if you live somewhere where it's all coal or gas generators, when you sit down and crunch the numbers it is still better to run an EV Vs an old banger in terms of pollution. Even if it's a relatively clean car. And that's not even taking into account local air pollution from fumes. I don't think EVs are perfect or even for everyone just yet, and it will still be a lot cheaper to run the old car. I still have an old petrol that I will replace when i can afford too.
@timscott3027 Majority of ev's don't come close to cost/mpg equivalent for diesel vs ev's.....ends up costing more in charging charges not to mention time wasted on journeys
When you get to that £40K price tag you also are hit with the huge road fund licence charges. To me the idea of paying that kind of money for a car is bonkers anyway! May be an OK car if a company is paying but how many families can actually afford to go out and buy one?
I don't trust VW executives to do the right thing, ever. That's why they ousted Herbert Diess and doubled down on cheating with their diesel emissions and constantly lobbying in politics and regulations to make the short term cheaper instead of investing enough in the medium-long term. **cough cough** TOYOTA!!! **cough cough**

Looks like Europe gets a mini version of the Explorer.

Ford don’t say this is a premium car. 😂 however, this is a good video.
They did at the product presentation to journalists ;)
@ must of got carried away. 😅The Mustang is supposed to be the premium one. Admittedly the Explorer has a better interior.

I recently saw 'stealerships' in place of dealerships, it sort of fits!
Most of them will be cheaper.
3:00 Loving the Dash and Storage!
So the secure 'vault' of the car is behind one of the most expensive parts to replace. 😂
Crowbars up, guys..
Throwing plums out of the window on the motorway! 😂😂 That aside, please do more reviews with this fella!
Loving mine. Drives smooth and solid. Love the lock box but it’s not secret as you reviewers have told everyone lol😢

What do people think about the "fashion" (?) for such large wheels? What are such large wheels for?

@@jamesarmitage8399 I never said they did. It depends if you can charge a home or not.
Looks good! Only thing I don't like is _most_ EV wheels, they are eyesores, I'd break out the Hammerite.

u always a treat
Looks nice but as its built on a VW chassis will it survive the current strike ?

Build in a Ford factory, so safe from VW shutdowns in theory, but potentially not from whatever is causing VW to struggle.
@@sIightIybored Debt and lots of it
And Eilis? 🤔
Don't do the ball cap thing mate!
Very first video of yours I fast forwarded, not good!
Sorry to hear that! What did I do differently this time?
I think we need a cut away to talk about your tats
I don't want to bore people more than I already do 😂
Go to your pub. Would you really park a Ford in a place where can be seen with? Sorry Ford. You are a solid bricklayer, plumber, so stay in your lane.
