Music Hey, what's up guys, welcome to the training reviews. So today I'm giving you the one year anniversary review of my Range Rover Vlog. I picked it up on the 1st of September in 2017. So I'm going to be covering three different points for you throughout the past year. I'm going to give you the top five things that I really like about the car, even a year in. I'm going to give you the top five regrets of things that I wish I actually bought with the car. After using it for a year, some things I've realised I would have liked. And a couple of things at the end to give you a wish list that I hope Land Rover will do in the future. So let's get straight into it. Music Alright, so my first thing on the top five things that I really like about the car is the automatic sensor for opening the boots. I use this quite often when I want to put in my luggage and shopping groceries, boxes and so on. Just click underneath and the boot should open up straight to it. And again, I can just do the same to close it and I use that quite often. So that's my number one used feature on the car at the moment. The second thing I like about the car is the auto high beam assist. Now this is a really cool feature. If you're driving at night, time and there's no street lights and it's really dark ahead of you. The high beams will come up automatically and they turn off if it senses any other car coming in a distance. Or you go around the bend and there's another car there. It will turn off itself. So that's really good in terms of a safety feature as well. So giving you visibility at all times. Number three is the safety features on the car. I really like the option of the lane assist. So you turn it on if you're driving on the motorways. It will shake the steering wheel. It will vibrate it a little bit just to show you that you're swaying into different lanes. So it keeps you going straight. And the second safety feature is the autonomous emergency braking, the AEB. So if there's an obstacle coming ahead of you and you've just looked down for a second and you're not going to be able to stop in time, then the car will automatically break for you. And I've had that before once. So it does work and I think it's really good. Right, so number four is the door handles. So you've probably seen the videos already that they come out and they go back in when you lock the car. I really like the idea of not being able to take your keys out of your pocket. So you can keep it there all the time and then control the car separately. So you press it once to take the handles back in and you quickly double press as soon as it's gone in to completely lock it and you should hear a beep. Like so. As you can see, it's fully locked. I never have to take the key out of my pocket and to unlock it, I just press it again and it comes out. There's also a feature if you're using the driver door. You can do it so that if you open it from there, none of the other door handles open up. Just the driver door. It's a bit of a safety. If you're driving by yourself, you don't want to open up all of them around just your one. So that's really useful as well. And number five, after using it a year, I still think that is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. It's still turning heads. I still get people stopping to take pictures of the car. And again, I think it's one of the smoothest drives I've ever had. It's just really comfortable to drive. And also, I think it's going to be one of the smoothest drives of any cars in the next year as well. So that's my top five things of the range of overlau. So now I'm going to give you some top five things that I regret not buying with the car after using it for a year. So let's take a look at that. So the first thing I regret when using it, the car is obviously high up. It's an SUV. This is my first SUV I've got. One thing I would have really liked to order after realizing after a year now especially, is a step. So when you open the door, you get a deployable step that comes out to help you assist get into the car. So obviously, I'm not six foot tall or anything like that. So my friends are not that tall as well. So sometimes it can be a bit of a struggle to get into the car. So if you just had a step, it would just make things a lot easier. So that's my top thing that I've regret not getting. The second thing I regret not getting is the front cameras. So I have rear cameras, rear parking sensors at the moment. So I'd like to get the front parking sensors, the front cameras as well. Because when you're driving down these tiny little side roads or you're going into, let's say, a car park which has barriers and raised pavements. Or even if you're going into a car wash, this very tight space and you can't see from the driving point of view, we're actually the pavement cuts off because of the bonnet size and the height of the vehicle. So having no sensors makes a massive difference and I wish I really got them from the beginning. Okay, so number three. The navigation is really good on the car already. But one thing I would have really liked is the heads up display. So I did do a test drive for a Velot before I bought this one and the one I test drove had the heads up display on there. It was really awesome. Obviously I didn't compensate for the value of it, so I decided to leave it out. Obviously that adds on a bit of extra cost when you're building the car. But now that I'm using it, I think the navigation on the projection of the road is a lot more useful than actually looking on the screen to your left. So I thought, you know, it's a nice to have feature but that would have looked really awesome. And if I do upgrade, I would get that next time definitely. Number four. This does come in the very high spec version of the Ranger of a Velot, but I would have really liked to get the cooled seats in addition to the just the heated front seats, as well as the option to get the massage balls that you get in the backrests of the front two seats. I thought that would have been a really nice feature to have. People would have loved it. I'll go to the gym quite often and when you get a lot of back pain, when you're driving and you turn the massage mode on in your seats, I think that's just a really cool feature to have in any car. And the last regret I have of the Ranger of a Velot is the roof. So this year in this summer in London, it's been really hot. We've had a massive amount of heat waves and one thing I regret not getting is the black panoramic roof. So I think the car generally looks a lot nicer when the trim of the roof is entirely black and the body of the car is a different color. So obviously the white on the black will look really good. But in addition to that, having the panoramic roof, opening it up all the way through the top and enjoying the weather, enjoying the sun, I just thought that would have been a really good option to have. There is no sunroof, but I can live with that for now. But if I do give an upgrade to the Velot in a few years time, then obviously that's one thing I'll definitely add. So just to finish off, there's a couple of things that I want to add to the wish list of the Ranger Rover. So the first one is Apple CarPlay. I know there's in-control apps that you can use for your Android phones and it will display various different apps that you can get from the Google Play Store and use it on the screen. But some people have iPhones, I have an iPhone at home as well. And I'd like to connect some of my iPhone apps into the car. There is at the moment, maybe 400 odd cars and models that are compatible with CarPlay. Land Rover and Velot specifically are not one of them. I'll leave a link in the description below to have a look at all the cars compatible with CarPlay. Now the Land Rover Discovery, a couple of the models on there do have CarPlay installed, although they have no plans to add that in the future for Velot. So that's one thing that I do wish that they work on in the future. The second thing is I wish they have a wireless charging port. They probably will be working on that fairly soon. But at the moment, the Velot has an awkward positioning where you can't really put your phone up anywhere. I'm at the moment using a magnet just above the screen. And that seems to work well, but when I'm charging it, the cables just get in the way of the screen as well. So if they have a wireless charging port where you can just drop your phone, for me that would be a big win. So that's about it guys. Thanks for watching. I hope that was a really good one year review of my Range Rover Velot. If you have any questions about the car itself, then please do drop a comment below. Otherwise, I will see you at the second year review of the Velot. But subscribe, I've got some more features coming up. I've got some more videos, more reviews of the Velot in general. So keep an eye out for those and I'll see you next time. Take care. I'm just going to drive, drive, drive.
