why do people keep listening to his crap?

[burnz]

is he right or is he wrong!! forget the brand, is he right?

He was/is a “public relations consultant” with Hyundai while reviewing cars.

Hyundai has a history of using unconventional methods in its dealings with the press. It uses the editor of enthusiast website Car Advice, John Cadogan, as a public relations consultant, while it recently raised the ire of Holden by conducting an "independent" comparison test between the Hyundai Elantra and the Holden Cruze, using both Cadogan and former rally champion Ed Ordynski in a test organised by Hyundai. The stunt was conceived after the company's i45 mid-size sedan had received unfavourable reviews in the motoring media.

I have noticed a consistent song from this fella. Sometimes one needs to follow the money trail for certain things to make sense to an observer.

I am in a caravan club, some members won't go near a Ranger or Jeep. Others swear by them. No Everests. Majority of tow vehicles are Landcruisers, Prado's, 70 series and 200's. One F250 . Its peoples perception of vehicles. People knock my Captiva but it has been faultless.

One of his videos I posted comments on the need to get rid of the foul mouthed stuff and insults . He , or somebody on his behalf gave it back to me both barrels . No respect for him now . Waste of time watching his slanted vitriolic stuff . And he thinks he's funny . He isn't .

Yep, a bald angry man with small man syndrome going around stabbing carmakers in the stomach , really does no favours for whoever he is working, whether it's hyundai australia or toyota. Would be a real dog act if Hyundai is really the driving force behind this vitriolic individual...

My gf's dad loves this dh. I really have to bite my tongue whenever he's mentioned.

No prizes for guessing what car he drives. Taken from his 'correct driving position' vid, and if he considers this to be the correct position it would explain his 'expert' comments

Lol....little man syndrome, he can't see over the bloody wheel!

What's worse is he looks like he's sitting at attention ready to be harangued by the sarge major.

I've said it before on the topic of this guy, and I'll repeat it again here since you've brought up the term, but I never trust anyone that refers to themselves as an expert!!

Be fair now.

We are now constantly being informed that times are a changing so if John wants to drive on a corrugated road with a broomstick up his freckle then he is perfectly entitled to do so.

[GTP534]

He recently said on Ch 7 that current model Kia Sorrentos don’t pose a fire risk. He was very vocal about the Ford Kuga being a fire risk. Fairly sure he’s sponsored by a Kia. He’s a grub, an unprofessional, uncouth foul mouthed grub.

[nstg8a]

Make sure you report his videos to YouTube for swearing, it's actually a really easy way for videos to be demonetised... For some reason youtube doesn't like cursing.

Where is the evidence that suggests the Sorrento is a fire risk

This is what he was referring to on the CH7 news:

https://www.productsafety.gov.au/rec...and-xm-sorento

He said the "current" model didn't pose a fire risk but as we saw on the news there is a fire risk.

[RANGEREST]

He is an absolute flog!
I'm embarrassed to say, this is one subject that I actually agree with him on.
My Ranger hardly goes near long grass, but if it did I'd be annoyed at Ford for lack of a fix.

I'm Shure ford has a fix, to me it feels like a cost benefit v's liabilities..

Yes my dealer told me a fix was on the way with an ETA of May. The fix is done just need to produce the amount of parts to fix all PX2 Rangers, remember they have to make enough parts for other markets the vehicle is sold in, not just Aus!!

I am also sure there are other makes of vehicles that if dry grass accumulates near the exhaust a possibilty of cathcing fire, there have been warnings about this since I can remember...

[jpd80]

I wish you guys would just ignore this crap, he wants us to post here and discuss
in the hope that it spreads his message to the target audience, Ford owners.

In future, please try to resist giving "oxygen" to this guy's issues.

[GO FURTHER]

He does not like Fords in general, especially the Mustang.

I having a feeling that since his core business is car brokerage for clients... Ford won't give him better deals, so he puts the knife in for revenge.

[Kil4Collingwood]

loved how he stuck the knife into the mustang, but then posts a video defending the stinger

[GTMOND]

I’m not sure what the problem is with the ranger, seriously any car could be a fire risk while going through long grass.
I spent 10 years going bush in Landcruisers, doing exploration, and grass would constantly get caught between exhaust and gearbox cross member. Even bloody worse with bash plates.

[Brazen]

Yeah growing by up we were always taught to not park in dry grass and really avoid driving through long dry grass at all

Caravans must carry a fire extinguisher and have it checked yearly.

[au350hp]

Fair dinkum. What happened to this bloke when he was at school? You'd think somebody who has so many issues with cars would work in a field where improvements are made, rather than putting down others manufacturing & design. A massively insecure individual.
