  1. Just did a full suspension refresh on this thanks to @FCP Euro. More videos to come!
    443
  2. One of my favorite daily drivers. Ever.
    329
  3. Guess what, I drove this and the Explorer ST back to back and this was the better, more comfortable, smoother, and more refined SUV.
    110
  4. Yesss, finally! Gotta appreciate how well Honda’s and Acura’s hold up. Not a single rattle, drives pretty much how it did from new, no wonky shifts, solid. Not necessarily exciting, but just nice.
    97
  5. Lexus V8s have the best rev limiters
    96
  6. Brad, you lucky dog, this new track looks awesome. Digging the instructor's hand signals lol.
    84
  7. Oghhhh
    81
  8. I love the way this new turbo Mazda6 drives. We’re getting a loan on one late next week, more videos on the way!
    69
  9. Heck yeah! This was great. Now I want a Cayman again.
    56
  10. Hahaha so THAT’S how you got stuck 😂
    53
  11. Ugh. This looks like fun
    39
  12. Tedward talks tire tech to TJ from Tire Rack and TheTopher tortures tires on the test track after a torrential thunderstorm!
    33
  13. The most impressive thing about this Grand Sport is that it felt 95% as sweet to drive on track as the Viper ACR.
    19
  14. Joe Can't say I didn't try! 😄
    18
  15. At 5'10 I didn't have any complaints about the seat hight, driving position felt great, the seat was awesome, everything was just a bit cramped overall imo (but that's a Focus thing).
    17
  16. For the record, the tires were barely worn after a full lunch break filled with sliding. Amazing!
    16
  17. Couldn’t sleep! Gotta go film a night drive…
    16
  18. First
    15
  19. Nice Castle
    15
  20. Neat little CUV, but I’m not sure which has a stiffer ride, this or the Focus RS!
    14
  21. BOOM!
    13
  22. Oh yes, it's good to be bad.
    13
  23. Yeah, they were definitely out of adjustment. I mentioned it when giving the car back after reviewing it. This has the full-LED headlights too, hard to tell here but they would be amazing when properly adjusted.
    13
  24. Winding Road Magazine Gotta get Docta up to 100k subscribers so he can get his YouTube Play Button!
    12
  25. wrinkleneckbass yeah it really only drones when you floor it like a fool. Like I was lol. In real world scenarios you’d rarely ever hear it. Ps- this car drives really really well. Maybe my favorite hybrid to date.
    12
  26. Some say he's a billionaire who buys a new car every week so he doesn't have to wash them.
    10
  27. Doors are overrated!
    10
  28. Always glad to feature some air-cooled goodness on the channel!

  29. I probably won't be stripping much out because the girlfriend really enjoys riding in it. Also, it's such an enjoyable car to drive on the street that I'd like to keep some if not most of the creature comforts. Who knows if I'll feel the same way by the end of the summer, but that's where I stand right now.
    8
  30. Love the way this thing drives. Except for the offerings from AMG, this might be one of the sweetest sports sedans on the market. For around $60k with a few miles on it, it's a steal and will only get better.
    8
  31. Hey, if you're happy with it - that's all that matters! I've seen two people come out of the exact same car and have completely opposite opinions based on their preferences, past experiences, etc. Congrats on the car!
    8
  32. I just counted it up, we have 21 hellcat videos on the WR channel. Go watch all those and then come back! lol
    8
  33. Trades46 it does comfortable, quiet, soft, and efficient very well. My buddy just picked one up for his wife and it's perfect for their needs.
    7
  34. 😂

  35. I’ve been waiting for this one for a while! Now time to do the M5, M3, and all of Eddy’s cars lol. I’ll get on the BRZ, 850R and new Land Yacht
    7
  36. Great lap Tedward!
    7
  37. DBeav97 it’s winter in MI, you’ll get mom cars and like it! Lol
    7
  38. panbondzio007 I was curious too, it actually felt pretty natural. 1-6 feels like a normal 6 speed, and then when you're ready to shift into 7th, you just go up again and there it is. No funkiness, it's smooth, works well.
    6
  39. Maxim L. Unfortunately that's just what the shifter sounds like. It's terrible, imo.
    5
  40. Aw, shucks - I'm not going anywhere! If you really miss me I've been uploading a lot to my personal channel here. I have plenty of new videos to upload on WR soon, too.
    5
  41. Trades46 I like the term "warm hatch," describes this car perfectly! I wouldn't be surprised if Hyundai eventually introduced more N performance models to the US market after the Veloster. We'll see
    5
  42. TheSoccerbeast13 the heater will only take about 30 seconds to fully turn on, and you’ll start to get warm air by the end of your driveway 👍
    5
  43. Service light, need to reset it!
    5
  44. Daily Motor 😂🙌
    5
  45. DB8 Dante they handle pretty well in stock form and even better with a set of sway bars and a good alignment. That’ll be the next step here...

  46. CAMARO_KYLE I wanted to drift around every corner like Chris Harris, but the owner said to take it easy 😄

  49. Woot woot! Missed your reviews, Chris!

  50. Dan Murphy getting back to our video roots!

  51. Adam Jermain I actually filmed a POV Test Drive on this exact car on the WR channel a few years before I bought it lol.

  52. You can also check out Brad's article from this drive on Hooniverse here: http://hooniverse.com/2017/02/24/2017-land-rover-discovery-the-all-around-the-dial-review/

  55. The camera tape worked great 👍 😄

  56. We always warm the car up by driving to our filming locations.

  57. IgnitionTube we were definitely in sport the whole time. I don't think we got into Corsa though..

  58. Lead-follow laps are paced by a leader whom you follow.

  59. Also feel free to check out Brad's article from this drive on Hooniverse here: http://hooniverse.com/2017/02/24/2017-land-rover-discovery-the-all-around-the-dial-review/

  60. Rolling, I think it's quicker than an evo.
    2
  61. Sir-Migz that's the plan!
    2
  62. Steve Smith yeah these were lead follow laps. We were definitely driving well under the limit, but giving it more than what we would do on a street drive. It's just the way this media event is structured. It's a good way to get a general feel for a car though.
    2
  63. Hold onto your Fiesta ST, it's miles more fun to drive. This Elantra GT is enjoyable, has some more room and comfort than your Fiesta, but can't hold a candle to your car dynamically.
    2
  64. ckarsenal Speedmaster Day-Date Mk40!
    2
  65. j_mosk yeah, you give up a bit of low end torque in the OFT Stage 1
    2
  66. I switched back for an oil change at the dealer and thought "this feels faster" lol.
    2
  67. Winand D that was me turning off/on the traction control 👍
    2
  68. Bow Ski the finish just wore off over time and with polishing, I actually bought some new emblems to replace them with, but yeah if you polish them they’ll go black pretty quickly
    2
  69. Antonio Esposito yeah, it was super greasy out there. And 40° F
    2
  70. This would be a great car for a first-time manual trans driver.

  71. Danny Murphy bringing it back to the old formula! -CA

  72. Dirty

  73. bahahah +1 for Theodore Eddie

  74. Lester Brown III 🙌

  75. gigamix mix sup
    2
  76. Dynamics remind me a bit of my MK6 GTI. The only knocks I have against it are the traction control (on/off switch), and the lack of a mechanical or electronic limited slip/torque vectoring system.
    2
  77. Tedward then kaput.
    2
  78. For a fast rack the weighting and feedback at speed is great. Like any rack, you really have to get going to steer easily, but there isn't a lot of weight to move the wheel under. I'm depowering my Miata's rack now after driving this. Lol

  79. +Vadim Khomenok or a sequential transmission

  80. I met someone with a Dinan 135i just the other day. I'm not sure if he's down to film a video, but I'll see if we can set something up.
    1
  81. Mohamed Hussein yep! The BRZ and Miata just got converted to winter mode! Hopefully we get some snow soon
    1
  82. joegolden481 I know, right! Tires are BFG g-force sport comp2. They've worn pretty quickly but have excellent grip, especially in the wet. Next I'll probably go with Continental DW06, I have them on the BRZ and love them.
    1
  83. No rattles, but I have in press cars and others I've driven. There's an issue with some of the trunk welds rattling with the rear seats down but it's not big enough of an issue for me to do anything about it.

  84. DoctaM3 thanks for letting Tedward drive the Huracan, that was a great surprise! 👍

  85. throtl we've got to film one of you cars while out in your neck of the woods someday!
    1
  86. FatBananas yeah, my fault - I accidentally had it on the medium view setting from using it with a gimbal. Kinda annoying in hindsight. I got a dedicated gimbal to avoid it happening in the future.
    1
  87. +richzilla08 we'll always include it in street drives, but at the track when we have to drive up to grid, etc it interrupts our flow so much that it usually doesn't happen. In hindsight, I should have done a walk-around with the GoPro after driving a car. -Chris

  89. Sirui Gu they only brought the 4-speed automatic to the USA. Someday I'll look into doing a manual swap, but for now I'm enjoying it as is.

  94. xan_den the rattles in this particular car were terrible!

  95. Huron River Drive?!

  96. Circlam bring a trailer in Maryland

  97. hahaha, I see 80-90-100...you guys are awesome. All the other magazine testers are pansies pussy-footing it around public roads and reading off specs from the manufacturer. I don't need numbers, I need videos like this, the cars can speak for themselves, and you guys have enough balls to get that across to your viewers.. respect guys!

  104. This momo start seat is actually really comfortable. I drive it without a bottom cushion but with a back cushion. Taken it on 3-4 hour drives without issue.

  107. I was worried it'd suck some of the fun out of the car, but it's made it so much better and more enjoyable to drive. It's nuts now (once the tires warm up) lol. It's begging for 250whp though...but as it sits now it's a blast.

  108. Tedward I still want one of these.
