Chinese Skoda Kodiaq killer? 2025 BYD Seal U DM-i review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-07-06 | With BYD's experience making batteries, electric cars and paying some influencers to say things about it, you'd think its only hybrid – the BYD Seal U – would be a slam dunk.

Join me for a full review of the Seal U DM-i where I talk about the practicalities, driving experience, infotainment tech, boot space and more.

Can this £76k UNICORN beat an S-Class? 2025 Genesis Electrified G80 review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-06-26 | The Genesis Electrified G80 has been updated for 2025 and it's one of the biggest updates I've ever seen for a car – primarily because it's actually got 13cm longer for 2025. Aimed firmly at chauffeurs and professional drivers, it's a luxurious alternative to the Mercedes EQS and BMW i7… and it's £25,000 cheaper than those German rivals. But is it good enough?

It was given a mid-life update in 2024, and I've finally got my hands on one to see if it really works as a family car. It's a mixed bag, so join me for an in-depth review of the new Ford Puma, including a look at child-seat practicalities (hmm), driving dynamics, comfort, noise and all that good stuff.------👍 Follow my new Facebook page: facebook.com/timrodiedrivesstuff 📸 Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/timrodie🏍 Check out my bike channel: youtube.com/timrodie
Why does it exist? 2025 Ford Capri EV review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-03-16 | Let's get one thing out of the way – the new Ford Capri is a pretty decent car. It has a big boot, decent efficiency and battery range, and it has all the tech you need or want. But why does it really exist? Join me for an in-depth review of this somewhat controversial use of an old nameplate, where I also look at the driving dynamics, dual-motor performance, ride comfort and all that good stuff.------👍 Follow my new Facebook page: facebook.com/timrodiedrivesstuff 📸 Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/timrodie🏍 Check out my bike channel: youtube.com/timrodie

The most frustrating car Ive driven: 2025 LeapMotor C10 review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-02-19 | Has there ever been such a competent car ruined by its driver assistance tech? I think not. The LeapMotor C10 is a Chinese EV that's being sold in Europe by Stellantis, the people behind Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen etc. On the face of it it's a decent, spacious family EV with good levels of tech and standard-kit for £36,500. Join me for an in-depth review of the practicality, interior quality and so on, and then a deeply frustrating 8 minutes where I get bonged at while trying to tell you how it drives.------👍 Follow my new Facebook page: facebook.com/timrodiedrivesstuff 📸 Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/timrodie🏍 Check out my bike channel: youtube.com/timrodie
Dont believe the scales? 2025 BMW M5 (G90) review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-02-16 | Normally BMW M5s make the headlines for their headline figures – but sadly for this new G90 M5 it's the weight figure that's been grabbing the internet by the angry gland. But does it really matter on the road? Join me for an in-depth review of the new M5, including a look at its long-distance comfort, usability as a family car, and of course its driving dynamics… on the road.

The best big SUV? 2025 Range Rover Sport review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-02-09 | If you don't need 7 seats then there's an argument for the Range Rover Sport being the ultimate SUV – heaps of luxury, oodles of comfort and enough grunt to entertain. But what's it like in 2025? Join me for an in-depth review of the Range Rover Sport in Autobiography trim with the 350hp six-cylinder diesel engine, as I talk about security, boot space, interior quality and plenty more.

Living with a Peugeot 408 has left me CONFUSED - review Tim Rodie Drives Stuff 2025-02-02 | The Peugeot 408 is a great family car, but it's certainly a rarity and doesn't exactly seem to be flying off the shelves at Peugeot dealerships. So, in the spirit of trying different things, I chose to live with a Peugeot 408 for 3 months and about 2,000 miles. Here's my quick look at the car with my loves and hates from using the 408 as a family car.Watch my full proper professional review of the 408: youtube.com/watch?v=LgrD83xsbyk&ab_channel=Motorpoint------👍 Follow my new Facebook page: facebook.com/timrodiedrivesstuff 📸 Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/timrodie🏍 Check out my bike channel: youtube.com/timrodie
