Mat, you're my best car journalist out there.

I watch a lot of your car reviews.

You've managed with your unique approach for car reviewing, which includes humor, plain and simple yet accurate explanation of specs and features, and sticking to the same reviewing method in every video, to set yourself apart.

I don't want to spend 30+ minutes watching a car review which covers every single piece of the vehicle, and that's why I liked your reviews the most. They're relatively short yet informative.

Keep up the good work!

I feel the review was filmed quite a long time ago, as he is still using the One plus five. Everyone who possibly follow him knows he is currently using a S10+

Seat really should a sportier interior, the exteriors are always nice enough but the inside just feel like budget VWs

I always like your reviews a lot but there are some things that I never understand that you complain about.
1. Putting seats down manually and on the side. How often do you actually need to use this? It’s not a problem with kids either because they are not in the car with you naturally.
2. Cheap plastics in the back. Have you got kids? They will try to destroy the panels with whatever it takes. Good with plastic. Bad with soft leather.
3. Fake exhausts. I think that rear accidents costs a lot already. No reason to damage the full exhaust system as well.

I have now had my Tarraco 2, 0 TSI 190 hp excellence for 6 months and I love it. Lots of pulling power so its fun to drive and the long hauls with the car stuffed with family is also great just cruising along the highway. + its the exact same as a tiguan but just cheaper because of the brand and since I am no brand snop, its a better deal.

Good review, as always! But... could you please tell the fuel consumption also in l/100Km in addition to mpg ? For the viewers in countries where mpg is not used... which are about 99 % of all countries in the world ;-)

I'm from Tarragona!! And in Spain you could vote which name you wanted to put in to the new car or suggest another and finally this wone, and I'm quite happy. The name Tarraco comes from the old city name of Tarragona, when the roman empire was here, thas why it is related to the amphitheater

Been driving my Xcellence 190hp DSG for one month now. It’s fully equipped with everything except leather seat and trailer park assistance. Absolutely love it! Happy to answer questions for anyone thinking about buying it. Great value for money!

"that's 15 seconds of your life you'll never get back"
That's only relevant if you have to keep your finger on the button, which you don't, so you don't lose any seconds of your life. You press the button and move onto the next thing.

I own this car for the last 6 months and I am happy with it. it is good value for the money I paid, because when I bought the car, both tiguan and kodiaq were more expensive with much less options (and obviously I didnt want to go for a French alternative). although the material quality is a bit less in Tarraco, I dont regret to pick it.

[johnsidebottom]

Keep up the good work Mat, I could watch your reviews all day.
So refreshingly straight forward.

Where is the video about the facelifted Q7 carwow?

[ilia]

Fun fact: On the 5 seater version you can push the rear bench further backwards than you can on the seven seater version thus getting more legroom in the 2nd row.

[MilanSerbia]

All things aside, I love how you actually recommend the Tarraco, and you allmost ditched the allspace tiguan! That shoes some integrity! Keep up the good work!

[francoisnel]

Ended ordering a FR 150 tsi. I was going to get the skoda kodiaq but then got messed around with the options with what I could and couldn't get and prices jumping up quickly. I found the tarraco after this ordeal and it was on a special lease and way better value with tons of options included vs the skoda and also better looking in my humble opinion.

[twinturbro]

Mat gets more wierd and funny as he makes more videos 😂 9:54

[ridgefrost]

so much energy in a car review, someone definitely had a good night

[Tonseren]

I agree with your verdict and would have bought one... if I lived in the UK where cars cost half of what they do in denmark.

[sportforkids]

Oh yeah !!! I have a Seat alhambra 2012...wich I buy after your review, at that time in "car buyer" . And now, I get this car in my short list. Thanks man. Nice job

[dyndeexd]

When did you film this? I notice that you're using your OnePlus instead of your S10+
