I'm looking for a new hmi module for mine with sat nav embedded list price 42K with Chevrolet YIKES! Daft really when you can buy a stand alone for a fraction of that price. Still some new Captivas kicking around at 599k saw one advertised just today. Wouldn't be surprised if Ford quit also their sales are low compared to Toyota etc especially the pickup market.

I always like the way people slag off a brand when they have never owned one, driven one etc, always seems to be a friend of a friend told me etc etc. So have you ever owned a Chevrolet? BMWs are unreliable in many YouTube videos especially "Car Ninja" Mercedes service is allegedly appalling John Cadogan Australia, Ive had one BMW 15 years ago, broke down 10 minutes out of the garage, brand new. I've owned Chevrolets, Fiats, Suzuki, Ford, Vauxhall(best van I ever had was an ASTRAVAn) Peugeot, Citreon, Seat, VW,BMW, Honda, Nissan Toyota Rover and to be fair NOTHING major with any of them but I did buy them all new and I take care of them whereas many Thais neglect their cars, wait till it breaks then "fix it" Service has varied from <deleted> to excellent, best was Honda, Chevrolet was far from bottom, Suzuki were quite grim from memory but it was 20 years ago and in the UK.

Not when compared to monthly sale of toyota pickups though, Chevrolet sold the least out of all of them, not sure why but people often get set in their ways and some myths linger on even with MG about as unBritish as you can get now, bears no resemblance to the original marque although Leylands interference screwed them well and truly over form the 70's onwards.

Just not true anymore, maybe 30 years ago, you need to do some more research Ask BMW owners about replacing valve seals, Allow me to cut n paste ????, good luck getting the engine out for that. A <deleted> poor fault, then theres the AUDI dsg gearbox issues, almost as good as the Ford power<deleted> jobby. BMW v8 engines made after around 2004 have been plagued with a problem where the valve stem seals will leak over time. ... When the leak is very bad, your vehicle may produce billowing smoke at idle or in traffic. You may also smell burning oil from your tailpipe and the smoke coming from the exhaust may smell.

Much better than most Toyota cars. But then pretty much every European car is better than a Toyota. Depends what you mean by "better" better looking for sure better reliability probably not, I owned a 206cc once cute little thing electric metal folding hood , gave it to the girlfriend at the time when I left the UK about 16 years ago, really a bit of a girlie car, Peugeots had good handling in the day 205 gti etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVs rely on rare earth to make- who controls rare earth? EVs require polluting to make and dispose of batteries. EVs don't have the range needed to be a viable alternative.

It makes for unpleasant reading .
