   I live just along the road from a Nissan dealership and I’ve seen one of these over the last few weeks, thought it looks quite striking. (It is in Black)
   Look forward to your impressions 👍🏻

   Bloody hell ,this is actually pleasantly surprising ,that centre console and the buttons in the dash are fantastic given that’s it’s a Nissan ,I must say this is why when it comes to electric I feel the Germans will suffer ,the Koreans already have the advantage so should be very interesting.all the best Pete .

   Best of luck with the Nissan . Definitely looks really nice 👍. Will you use the dash cam again from the Mach E you had just fitted recently perhaps?

   It will be interesting to see how the range suffers when you use all the additional electric features like the heated and ventilated seats etc.

      It’s usually the general cabin heating that affects range most in EVs, heated seats use relatively little power, that’s why most EVs have them

    The Ariya looked impressive at launch. Look forward to hearing what you think of it. Expensive electric though compared to us having spent £25K ish on a ICE Tiguan a while back. D

    Looks like a nice car. As to your opinions, I think Hendy would want you to be open and transparent. After all they are getting 2-3 months of feedback on a product.

    Wow! I just saw most of my journey to work, as I live in Bournemouth! I find it hard to get excited about EVs, but I must say what a great ambassador for a local business the handover employee was 😀

    I have to say not heard about this Nissan and it looks rather good and first impression fairly simple controls given the mix of inputs. Your reviews are always what you genuinely think so just keep them coming

    IMO, the Ariya seems expensive; nonetheless the exterior and interior stylings look v. good to me. Very interested to learn your thoughts compared to the other EV SUVs you’ve sampled, especially as it’s clear the Ariya is not going after the customer looking for a high performance EV, so I guess it’s main rival is the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

    All that said, all EVs are currently expensive, but ICE car prices have also risen significantly. That’s just the way it is right now. EVs are also particularly heavy, and it seems to me that the higher the performance the stiffer the damping needs to be to control the weight at speed on a twisty road, and most makers seem to be struggling to deliver the compliant ride a daily driver should be able to deliver.

    So, just how much performance do you really need to be impressed on a daily basis by your EV? Does the Ariya offer enough punch for a ‘petrolhead’ (automotive enthusiast)? Is the ride nice and compliant? Is the interior comfortable? Does it have a quality feel and a feel good factor? Does it deliver good range? And is it genuinely a serious alternative to a Tesla Model Y or a high-end luxury EV SUV for someone who has one or more special cars for high days and holidays?

    Personally, I can get over the brand snobbery issue, certainly for a daily driver. I buy cars to impress myself, not the neighbours. But is the Ariya actually worth up to 60 grand? Previously, Nissan quality and refinement hasn’t been its strong suits, least of all its interior quality. Is the Ariya really a serious contender in the medium-luxury space, given that it doesn’t deliver high-performance or bring advanced technology to market?

    Beautiful interior, love the Merc inspired dashboard (as we have one!). I don’t mind the styling, bit boxy at the front but could live with that. Grey, though? What is with people and grey cars?

    Pete Iam so glad your trying a Nissan out on your channel as I have close relationship with Nissan myself and it made me very proud as the Ariya is a stunning car 🚗 I get some people saying in the comments on the cost but cars in general have gone up and up especially electric cars, but when you compare this to other cars in the premium market it comes a better propersion granted including myself not exactly affordable to everyone 😂, but for those that can it’s well worth checking out, I really look forward to seeing how you find the experience and how it compares to the Mach E I got a feeling your going to enjoy 😊by the way the Silva turbo 👍 that’s showing my age 😅

    We used to have a jeep cherokee in the family in the mid-late 90’s. Great car, my folks really enjoyed owning it – reliable, good standard spec (we didn’t tick any options, as it came with everything they’d have added on the options list with limited spec), gutsy engine, towed well, smooth auto box. Only thing that was a downer was fuel economy. Locally, it’d struggle to do 12 to the gallon until the box warmed up! On a great run we would get 18-20 to the gallon. With a roof box for holidays, going to alps etc, we would get 14-16 if we were lucky. But with the size of tank, we’d get 250 to the tank. Did work well as we’d get the tank brimmed at home, sipping 2 hours in to france for fuel and driver swap. Dad would take last stint from the Jura range.
