Keep it up my friend, we must keep this car secret. Great value for money, and well specced (the Elite/Ultimate). Signed: ex-Cooper S and BMW 3 series driver. I saved loadsa money buying my Ultimate!
Being a owner of a Crossland from the first generation with bifuel system (LPG), for three years, I can say that, this is not the best car on the world, and yes only to people that need to go between A to B, but at least between that points you don't need to stop on a garage!
Rent this car before buying, i had it for a week and was glad to give it back. fuel tank spills over and still show not full and annoying lane departure warning (4.30 third button) is great on narrow Devon roads, it goes off all the time, switch it off and it turns itself back on. I also rented the Peugeot 2008 in Finland for 2 weeks and didnt have any of these issues.
Only halfway through this review and it has everything, it's interesting, informative and even a bit of metal music thrown in! I have been toying with getting either a Sandero Stepway, Jeep Renegede or one of these,. The Crossland appears more appealing at this time......
I hot this car yesterday, Edition version but two features mentioned are not included Mark: - wireless Apple Car play, only via USB (which I couldnt get to share internet with the car when Bluetooth tethering shuts down) - the rear bench is not movable, creating more space, this is only for the most expensive Ultimate model
By - very - far, the best car reviewer on TH-cam ( among the ones that speak english or greek at least - don't understand the others...). By - not very - far, the worse fashion choices also. How can you do that...
Ok I'm confused, you were Honest John yes? Now you're Mark of Vanarama 😮. It took me a while to find you because I needed a good laugh, and a proper car review. Glad I caught up with you anyway but it was less easy than moving a lollipop stick through a pot of Angels Delight.
I'm sure it'll appeal to the usual long-time Vauxhall fans, but being on the old platform seems to compromise it a tad. Would it actually be worth getting over a C3 Aircross, which is supposed to be a more budget option if brand positioning is anything to go by?
I think your reviews are brilliant, ahem, usually. But you really have done a complete hatchet job on this one. Why no mention of the many people who have bought one and get along just fine with it. Don't be going all Clarkson era Top Gear, taking the piss out of everday ordinary people who need and can only afford good basic transport with reasonable comfort and relability. I'm buying one of these exactly for its ordinariness, oh and the fact that it's such a well equipped, safe and very "reasonably priced", car. Cheers Jeremy, sorry, Mark!
Hey mate. I do read your comments and always appreciate them. Thanks. But it does sound like you’ve fallen into that “man doesn’t like my car as much as me, therefore it’s a hatchet job” trap. In fairness I agree with you, most people will get along fine with it and it does everything okay, but IMO there are plenty of options at a similar size and price that do the same thing in a less boring way. Again, just my opinion. Hardly a hatchet job though. Cheers, Jerem…Mark. 😁👊🏻
I hired one of these for a week. I hated it before I left Enterprise car park. The worst car I have ever driven. Every gear is useless and the wrong gear for every situation.
This is a terrible car and I urge anyone to avoid it. What he said about the gearstick is an understatement. You don’t even feel it going into gear and the throw of the stick is huge. It’s an awful car
Your so anti Vauxhall it’s unbelievable! The 2008 has the same pedal placing,same engines etc yet you don’t mention them when you review them in the Peugeot.
The Crossland is on the PF1 platform (like the old 2008), the new 2008 is on the CMD platform like the Corsa is - Peugeot sorted the pedals out in the new platform!
Sorry about that. I'll give you that time back by telling you a marvellous fact that will take 15 seconds to read. Here goes... The secret to making millions of pounds, with virtually zero effort, and from the comfort of your own home, and with zero set-up costs is... ...damn! Time's up! If only you'd watched for 20 seconds.
When you see some of the clothes in the ASOS sale and think who the f**k buys that, well now I know 😉 great review as always Mark 👍🏻
Pmsl 😂
There you go Mat Watson....that's how to make an entertaining car review!
😂
It's also how you make a review that has actual jokes instead of cringe. And it contains actual information.
It's magic.
I only come here for *Mark's* reviews - no other reason - now there's praise for ya!!
Amazing work fella - keep it up
We'll let Tom know... but he's on the phone.
Mark you are spot with this car ! I had one on holiday in spain for 2 weeks ? It’s for people who just want to go to a to b with very little fuss !
Thanks mark. Entertaining us for 12minutes with the dullest car on sale in the UK today makes you a creator of A grade status!

great fun! cracking review in your parlance
Thanks Mark, another excellent review that tells us what we really to know about a car.
Oh yeah! A less than 20 min video! I watched it all! Can we have the metal bands you feature?
A Day To Remember in this one mate. M.
Loved the handbrake turn joke - spat my coffee out!

Rock on!
^^^ that was TH-cam’s suggested comment. I went with it. 😂 Thanks for the kind words. Mark.

How can you do that...
I take it you're not watched anything by JayEmm on Cars, then... eclectic is certainly a word for it.
Mark is wearing the garb from the LMFAO music video. That's proper dedication to a link that is!
LOL.
Sensible facelift. Looks more like a Meriva now without the fancy design elements, easier to spot the replacement model for Vauxhall customers.
Was is wash day when you filmed this?
best review so far on this car :D
Analog - yes please! 😉
Great review Mark but unsure what look ur going for? Deirdre Barlow glasses meets Bet Gilroy leopardskin, 90s soap style maybe?!
More ‘Keith Lemon meets Jurgen Klopp’ but I like your thinking.
Ok I'm confused, you were Honest John yes? Now you're Mark of Vanarama 😮. It took me a while to find you because I needed a good laugh, and a proper car review. Glad I caught up with you anyway but it was less easy than moving a lollipop stick through a pot of Angels Delight.

Best review I've seen of this car
Thanks mate. Mark.
Look up the word 'Millennial' in the Oxford English Dictionary, and it just shows a photo of this guy.
Mel B's been on the phone, Mark. She wants her coat back!
I really enjoyed this review of such an I unenjoyable car
Terrifying - a French car in Vauxhall clothing. 😳
And French man is now running jaguar.
I couldn't make it to end of this video... you said something about an 80th birthday party and suddenly I lost 2 hours watching ADTR videos. 🤘🏻
YAS! 🤘🤘🤘 M.
Well done on making a MEH! motor even review worthy😉
Or every caller on Talk Radio
Yeeeeeeessssss!! Great review. (Rubbish car, but great review)
Rubbish cartoon your watching lol 😂just joking lol. The visor face doesn't suit the Crossland
Those driving glasses .. 👀

Fair enough mate, fair enough. Still think your reviews are brilliant. Cheers.
One of my cars is a Suzuki Alto, so the Crossland is like a Bentley compared!!!!
WHY do I watch these reviews.. it’s like wading through Angel Delight. If you want to know how a car drives see Mark.
😆😆😆😆
I hired one of these for a week. I hated it before I left Enterprise car park. The worst car I have ever driven. Every gear is useless and the wrong gear for every situation.
Did you describe this car as a growler 😂😂😂😂
7:00 choon!
I couldn't stop looking at that jacket!, 🤒🤢🤮...what car was it?
Lamborghini 911 Carrera mate. 👊🏻
This is a terrible car and I urge anyone to avoid it. What he said about the gearstick is an understatement. You don’t even feel it going into gear and the throw of the stick is huge. It’s an awful car
Spam on wheels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I will buy six of them, then........
I’ve got an Xbox Series X... that’s got XXX levels of X... errr...
Spam on wheels... Lmao
Mark, sorry to say, were you wearing the wife’s 👚 blouse their 🤭, as it looks like you are off to the big market

"you're".....not "your" ("you're" being a contraction of 'you' and 'are').
I think the Peugeot looks nicer.
pillock waste of my 15 seconds
