Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Audi A6 etron & Skoda Elroq test drives, VW Ireland's Alan Bateson & more!
Q: How do you find the first period of your role?
It's important to have a 360-degree understanding of the customer lifecycle which lasts typically 4 to 5 years before considering a car change.
Audi A6 etron & Skoda Elroq test drives, VW Ireland's Alan Bateson & more!
Q: Do you think that the messages that are especially out there for younger drivers are reaching or landing these people?
No. People under the age of 22 might not be receiving appropriate messages about car road safety, and current advertisements often fail as they can be condescending or preachy.
Kia's 4 new EVs, VW Tayron & EV repair expert hits us with the facts!
Q: How can EV customers mitigate potential repair issues?
Customers should charge at slower rates and avoid frequent high-speed charging to prolong battery life and reduce heat issues.
Kia's 4 new EVs, VW Tayron & EV repair expert hits us with the facts!
Q: What are the common repair issues you see with EVs?
High mileage EVs often face very expensive repairs, particularly when they're out of warranty and have not received regular maintenance, leading to costly issues when things go wrong.
VW's ID.1, FIAT boss Olivier Francois interview & a car salesperson!
Q: What happens if people's cars end up having negative equity?
In a PCP, if the trade-in value is less than the guaranteed minimum future value, customers have the security of being able to hand the car back without losing out.
