Something is wrong there :/

Instant like for the floating texts in price comparison.

I've got a new 3 series, when the voice recognition doesn't understand my funny accent and starts apologising for being stupid I tell it to "shut up", and it responds "ok" and does! Great.

My heart says Alfa, my mind says BMW but my bank balance just says Dacia

Cars be like: let’s all wear blue but don’t tell Volvo

Volvo - Sensible
Mercedes - Elegant
Alfa - Sporty
Bmw - All-Rounder
Audi - Smart

I would pick the Volvo S60 because it looks striking, spacious, decent boot space and good to drive although it can be very expensive.

[aidanyager]

A giulia is still the best car I’ve ever driven. I have a stelvio now but man I miss that thing

[jwlzyy]

I must admit I thought that the benz would be the most expensive

[blicknessraven]

Poor Jaguar. They haven't even had a look in even after "updating" the XE...

[dronsrbijaue]

My heart says Alfa Giulia, my brain says Alfa Giulia, and my budget says Alfa 159. ❤️

Having a Volvo S60 with AWD and the 316hp engine, this almost feels like cheating it, the T6 absolutely hangs corners, and has a good amount of spirit in dynamic mode. Can’t wait to get a polestar tune for an extra 25hp and a PCM/TCM flash.

0:34 😂😂😂😂 this is why matt is unbeaten with car reviews

[avdeshalvaraz]

Mat is setting a standard for all the car reviewers out there.

I bought my Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport 2 months ago and I am just in love with this car. I am a driving purist and I put driving at the center of my needs. 50-50 weight distribution, carbon fiber drive shaft, excellent ZF transmission, balanced chassis, limited slip differential that makes it so easy to rotate the car in turns, 305 ft pounds of torque, and best of all, delivers the most precise, communicative steering since the days when BMW actually made drivers' cars....it is incredible. I keep looking for excuses to drive it and every single time I step out of the car I have a huge smile on my face!

The 330e just does it all for me. Great all-rounder, can cruise around town in all electric mode, can also be sporty with the punchy 2.0 turbo petrol. Also the best looking 3 series so far!

14:00 One often overlooked feature in the C class boot is when you pull on the lever to push down the rear seats, the front passenger seat moves slightly forward automatically if it's been pushed back/reclined. I always thought that was quite clever so that you can push the rear seat down without it hitting the front passenger seat.

Matt the type of guy to put a dolphin and dolphin sounds in his car reviews

[thesilentgaming]

Should’ve used to t6 engine on the volvo instead of the t5. Huge difference
