Comes across as a good all-rounder. Another quality review.

[ivancota]

real good reviews! so happy I found this channel. Not too long, everything said just as it is and not much jabbering about design and stuff...

[kishmakov]

The sarcasm in reviews is good. It makes them a little more alive :)

[martinowens]

You enable SPAS parking assistant with a long press of the parking camera button, took me a week to find that...

[tiagofelix]

Thanks Marek for the great video. I got a GT Line and unfortunately the seats are just like you say - after 10mins the spine is complaining!
Also the sound from the speakers is soo weak.
Other than that the car is just brilliant.

I really wonder what version you have tested, that price is quite high compared to the price in Czechia. It struck me because I ordered the XCeed last month.
If I try to configure the car with the things I think you had, that is GT-Line, 1.5 T-GDI 7DCT, Packet Leather GTL (electric seats, 40:20:40 back seats, etc), Packet Premium GTL (digital cocpit+JBL sound), Packet SPAS (parking assistant) + Green color, the price in Czechia is 820 000 CZK = 33 737 EUR

Marek hi!
If you compare xceed and sportage when it comes to bells and whistles while driving what would you say?

Is there any way to turn it off, are both cars equaly annoying or maybe xceed is less of whistler and therefore less annoying?

Thank you!

Marek, heated windscreen is unavailable with leather seats and/or ventilated seats because the button for ventilated seats is placed instead of the heated windscreen’s button.

[dzrasd]

This (1.6T 204hp) is the same price as Golf GTI in my country, same (high) spec. Which one should I go for ?

[musictube]

Thank you Marek nice review. I have a suggestion, when I buy a new car, I often check the sound system quality, some car has really crap sound and not possible to upgrade. Some sound okay when car is not moving but bass disappear on motorway due to poor sound insulation. Would it be possible you also comment that in your review? The best would be you play the same sound clip in each car and record it. So we could here the difference. Cheers.

Hi Marek, nice review. I’m a big fan of South Korean car manufacturers, especially the Genesis. Unfortunately due to known reasons Genesis lineup is unavailable in Belgium. I wonder if there is some special reason you added ‘no clickbaits’ to the titel?

[OutdoorWeekend]

Hi Marek .. Thank you for review…. Can you recommend a car without a headache 😊.

I know what's wrong with those seats because I have similar seats: Opel's AGR garbage. After few hours test drive they seem comfortable, but after few weeks of actual usage I got pain in shoulders, legs and butt. There are 2 issues: side support near shoulders and long big side support near legs. Shoulder support causes pressure on... shoulders, which eventually leads to pain. Leg support forces both legs to stay in same position for long time, preventing driver from moving them, stopping blood flow and causing various health issues. Absolute garbage.

Solved my problem by visiting car shop specialising in seats. They removed fillings near shoulder, reduced support near legs and added extra stuff near butt to make seat more on same level. Not perfect, but usable. Every few weeks browsing used car parts in Baltics and Poland hoping to see regular non-AGR driver's seat from a used car... but there aren't any yet in reasonable condition.

We don’t get the 204hp version here in the UK.
We only get the 6MT 1.5 TGDi and the PHEV.

Panie Marku, bedzie Pan mial mozliwosc zrobienia testu nowego Nissan Xtrail ?

[Alex-iiyi]

Marek, what would you prefer - Xceed or VW T-Roc?

[genasgenas]

Hi Marek, what do you think about DCT 7 speed gearbox?

[asfdestroyer]

Between this and the Suzuki S-Cross (1.4 Allgrip), which would you take? I'm looking at the S-Cross but I'd maybe like a car that is fun to drive on twisty roads

[Gelimarr]

I bought this car, I'll get him in 7-9 months

[michaldemjan]

Could you tell me which car from the non-premium C segment you consider as the quietest? (if we don't consider electric cars)
