I think I done fairly well as a non-German speaker watching that video.

I managed to understand "made in China" and there is no ABS. Apart from that it looks rusty and st.

Is it just me, or is the journalist bloke a bit.......

Very strange video.
Why the need to key it and pull bits off it? Kinda bhy!

Mostly the proximity of presenter to explosion.

i like how close they are when they blow it up.

I like how he describes the rust underneath as looking as if it was in the Normandy landings and they've only just pulled it out of the sea.
It would have been nice to see some fun challenges with it rather than pointlessly destroying it through. That wasn't especially entertaining or funny.

Looks no worse than a Mazda 6, Ford Fiesta/Puma/Ka, Merc etc of a similar vintage.

My cousin had an X5 and it generated huge bills way before the miles that thing had done.

My dad has a W210 E-class on a 51 plate approaching 300k. Known for being the worst for rust. Sure the front wings are virtually non-existent now, but the rest of it is in much better nick than that, even given his sporadic maintenance regime.

That had obviously seen a hard life with an uncaring owner. Just look at the state of the brakes.

Wonder how that compares with a Western car that has seen similar treatment?
