Harry's channel and car collection aren't based on buying cars just for the views, indeed from a quick scan over his channel I think replacing the Emira for the 650S was the last time there was a major new car in his personal collection on it, which was now back in June 2024, approaching a year...

Shmee put out an interesting video discussing this topic last night.

Your post has reminded me to update the numbers of UK cars in this thread. The figures from howrareismycar.co.uk are taken from the DVLA figures, the same the website I got my data from (howmanyleft.co.uk). These figures are only up to date as of Q2 2025, with the next update expected in...

The software in Volvo cars is different to that in the Emira, there is definitely no apparent crossover between the two. My 2024 XC60 runs Android Automotive where the inbuilt SatNav is Google Maps, it can also use other apps such as Waze, but only Google Maps interfaces with the hybrid system...

HD radio and DAB are different technologies using different hardware (and presumably as a result different software protocols). It definitely wouldn't just be a simple check box exercise. Not trying to make excuses for Lous here, just to give an insight into why it might not have been...

Here in the UK HD Radio isn't a thing. The Emira's radio was designed with the DAB digital radio standard which is the one used here (and more widely in the world). Google AI summary of HD audio Vs DAB: DAB is more widely adopted globally than HD Radio. While both are digital radio...

My car lived outside for over a year and I've had no issues with the doors as of yet. It's one of the first UK i4s and going by the first service reminder I think it was built late 2023 (before the type approval delay). It has now transitioned to living in the garage as of a couple of months...
