Struggle to do that considering it's 2023 my man...

[johnwuk]

Dacia jogger best family car, bmw 2 coupe best sports car awards for 2024. What madness is this?!

[v-gun]

“You’ve watched our videos”. You make about one a year.

[Donkjnr]

Sorry CarBuyer, im out.

1. Its 2023, not 2024.
2. Feels like a sponsored video based on those dire choices.
3. There will be new cars in 2024 so this video is "already" out of date, before its even IN date.

Bye all 👋🏻

What a great results for France, only awarded french vehicle is Dacia, even which is Romanian after all.

[ozamosantuwe]

So you are awarding cars of 2024? What madness is this?

[Beorn.]

Half way through and two and I've spotted two jokes already, Tesla?😂 good luck with the insurance costs if you can even get it insured now and "Best convertible " is obviously a Mazda MX5 2.0ltr not a Mini! 😊

[legambaz]

It's really hard to take this content seriously.

[maestro]

why would BYD Dolphin pip MG4 for the Car of the year? it is about 3-4K cheaper, more practical and to me atleast, better to look at. and don't forget the 7 year warranty.

[xmerxmer]

VW ID Buzz? I'd much rather have Kia EV9 (base ev9 = fully equipped Buzz, but its still a good deal for the difference in quality and equipment)

[indetailcarcaresolutions]

Wow! Who are you trying to impress. Obviously the consumer in there UK in less discerning that the Aussie car buyer. And you get so much better choice!

[safcnono]

BYD Dolphin ? really its a mess poor build quality rattles all over the cabin electric issues battery issues charging issues. Sorry Carbuyer but you simply havent done your homework.

[nigel.w]

Interesting choices, but at the same time, a bit boring, too.

[planestrainsdogsncars]

Sorry ..there is no way I would buy a car with ''Build Your Wet Dreams'' across the back.

[ipb]

Why do you still keep having separate “best electric….” categories??? Why take ‘fuel’ into account? You don’t have separate diesel and petrol categories.

[mlnd]

Byd dolphin is your car of the year...seriously? Independent review you say... sure

[Neil]

BYD dolphin, a lot less than a corsa? Vauxhall are selling the corsa E at sub 20 k!

[KingSadim]

Pick ups are dead now unless you use it commercially, more and more cities such as Sheffield have made them £10 to enter the city limits

[gerrytemple]

Wow. This video makes me question very strongly wether you are as independent as you claim - or not. Let's say politely my taste is very different as I would have chosen different cars in every single category. Your choice for "car of the year" - BYD - has failed some comparisons with established brands. But the company needs some attention... Sad, but I have to unfollow your channel.

Carbuyer is getting desperately out of ideas. So now their time traveling.
