A Car For Old People (That's Not A Bad Thing)

A Car For Old People (That's Not A Bad Thing)

In this week's show, we discuss the death of the Nissan Skyline, three familiar Hondas and the demise of Borgward in Malaysia. We  then take a look at the new Peugeot 308 SW and the Volvo XC90-based Lynk & Co 09 - a fashionable 7-seat SUV, before Daniel gives us a cautionary tale about workshops, mechanics and oil changes. Finally in Part 3, we review the all-new Toyota Harrier - a car that (according to Daniel) is for old people, with its uncomplicated gizmos and superb comfort.
