  2. I hope Maserati maintains this whole technology-in-moderation approach to their future interiors and doesn’t cave to the pressure to offer another iPad on wheels. This could really set them apart from German rivals making the tech deep dive and give them a niche of their of their own.

  3. Hyundai/Kia’s progress over the last decade or so is pretty incredible. So much respect for their growth and accomplishment. The styling of this new Elantra isn’t to my personal taste, but I applaud Hyundai for taking risks. If I was looking for a new car for around this price range, my choice would actually probably be right next to this on the dealer lot, though - Veloster R-Spec! You’d enjoy it. See if McGovern has one in stock!

  5. I’m definitely more of a believer in the slow car fast philosophy, but still, it’s wicked what this GT500 is capable of. Gotta remind myself how lucky we are to live in the automotive times that we do. Cars like this won’t be around forever. Just glad they’re here now.

  6. I usually get my “therapy drives” in Sunday mornings before Cars and Coffee. Seattle Cars and Coffee’s on Lake Washington, so I’ll either go south to Seward Park and go up Lake Washington Blvd, or go north to the Montlake Cut and go down Lake Washington Blvd. Always a pretty drive, but really gotta respect the cyclists, especially on Sunday mornings.

  9. Really really really really hope this performs well on the market for them. CX-9 was often (weirdly if you ask me) DEAD last in sales in this segment and Mazda needs all the sales love it can get as a small automaker. As a 6-speed 3 hatch owner I’m rooting hard for them!

  13. Owning an e92 is like getting dragged into taking shots with your friends. you start with just one, but then...well...you get the idea...
    97
  14. G Wagen door locks should be an optional Apple text tone. And that V8 wouldn’t make for a bad ringtone either.
    96
  15. With some of Mercedes and BMW’s recent designs, I’ve been appreciating Audi’s evolutionary and conservative exterior aesthetic more and more lately. Excellent color palettes on many of their models, too, and love that this example still has the aluminum accents instead of a black optic package.

  16. On the ninth day of Christmas my Tedward gave to me 9 DB11’s 8 Cross Turismo’s 7 eG80’s 6 SL roadsters 5 GX’s 4 Newcomb’s Ranches 3 R8’s A peek in Garage 42 And a Wilhoit Speedster in a pear tree

  17. On the eleventh day of Christmas, my Tedward gave to me 11 7 Series 10 XK120’s 9 DB11’s 8 Cross Turismo’s 7 eG80’s 6 SL roadsters 5 GX’s 4 Newcomb’s Ranches 3 R8’s A peek in Garage 42 And a Wilhoit Speedster in a pear tree
    84
  18. I appreciate the conservative exterior and I like some of the powertrain tech like the mild hybrid system and rear steering, but honestly, the interior tech has just gotten to be too much for my taste. That gauge cluster especially could have been better implemented. At least there’s still a V8 for now, though.
    81
  19. Yes, that EJ is almost as old as I am, but I still love it. Love how Subaru hasn’t smoothed over all of the rough edges of the STI. It’s definitely been refined over the years, but they haven’t just engineered out all of the quirks and personality. Hope the next gen WRX/STI retain this same character.
    75
  20. First thing that hit me was how well that automatic seems to shift. Definitely would not have guessed the year anywhere near correctly judging from the driving experience. Wow.
    73
  21. GT4 is music to the ears! Hopefully I’ll be able to drive it one day now that I’ve learned stick! Big way I’ve been able to reduce the pandemic-induced stress. To Porsche’s credit, at least there’s the 718 GTS 4.0 now. Hopefully you’ll be able to get your hands on that and compare!

    56
  26. I have the weirdest obsession with these Sport Turismos, though strangely I think I’d go for one of the plug-in hybrid versions personally. eBoost in a car like this seems like a pretty wild experience.

  30. Most underappreciated car in this segment and one of my personal favorites. It may not be assembled like a Lexus or have the cutting edge tech of an Audi, but the charisma and personality of this is so refreshing in this segment. I’d easily have one of these over anything German, albeit CPO with an extendedass warranty, ofc

  32. I will say - it’s nice to see some more experienced automakers like Audi tackling EV’s in a more traditional way. The build quality of this alone would draw me to it over any Tesla. I don’t mind the classic Audi styling overall, but those they’re shooting themselves in the foot in terms of interior aging with those dual touchscreens. But they probably figure these things are leased anyway. In terms of EV’s in general, yes, they make a lot of sense as daily drivers given the way 99% of people drive so long as the range is adequate. But as fun enthusiast cars driven to be enjoyed, I’m still not quite convinced. I need more than just instant torque and extremely flat handling to enjoy a driving experience. If one day I HAD to have an electric daily driver and a second fun gas car, though, I’d do it.

  33. Still love the way that VQ engine sounds even today, though personally, I like it better in the Infiniti G's. Hope Nissan has an authentic successor to this car in the pipeline. Great video and WOW that road is amazing! I'm sure it brought back lots of good college memories!
    39
  34. An awesome first ACH experience, and it was so cool to get to watch you capture it all on video! Thanks again for such a fun ride!
    38
  35. This is one of those cars I've got to own at least once in my lifetime. God I miss this era of M cars. I wish the current M models captured more of this simple, relaxed spirit. My dad actually used to drive me to school in his E39 540i when I was a kid. It boggles my mind to this day how I convinced him to sell it for a Camry Hybrid...

  37. I think 992.1 will go down as peak modern 911 and the point just before they started to verge too deep into the tech/digitization realm. I’d also be curious for someone to do a fuel economy experiment on one of these 7MT models on the same highway route, one way staying in 6th and the other using 7th, to see how much the 7th gear actually yields in increased efficiency.

  41. Actually just created my own lil therapy drive route along all the Seattle waterfronts! Have done it quite a few times now and ugh it really makes me want a Miata to do it with when the weather’s nice. Also should have never let my dad sell his E39 540i 😭

  43. Damn you Bostonians and your mile long tunnels! Ugh so jealous!
    28
  44. I’ve read a bit about this in this book I’ve just finished, and there are definitely some...questionable ethics when it comes to speeding tickets and traffic law enforcement. There’s a strong case to be made that it’s more about profitability and revenue than actual safety. The same can be said of self-driving cars, but that’s a whole other rabbit hole I won’t go down here. Particularly during the pandemic, there have been sooooooooooo many cops out waiting to catch people.
    27
  45. I mean...the answer is always...

  47. The successor to the cars that taught me to judge the book and not the cover. Huge amount of love and appreciation I have for this as well as the G80 and now-departed Kia K900 for how influential they were in my budding automotive enthusiasm.
    26
  48. Love watching Tedward squeeze big things into tight spaces 🙊
    25
  49. Fun fact - A big part of how FCA gets away with building shitloads of Hemi V8 monsters like this is by buying Tesla’s ZEV credits since Tesla is in such good graces of the EPA regulations. So as long as it’s more economical and viable for them to do that than to redesign their engines and platforms, I think we’ll see more FCA vehicles like these.

  51. Cue the reliability jokes…jk jk. FCA (and Alfa specifically) has their shortcomings, for sure, but what I love about them is they see the value in approaching cars with a fun, enthusiast-oriented mindset much more so than many other automakers. They know who they are and what they do and they don’t try to be everything to everyone. Not necessarily a mindset that lends itself well to sales and profits, but it makes for far more interesting and enjoyable products.
    23
  52. 15:35 That’s still me at 22😂 I’ve actually met quite a few car people on bike rides around here.

  53. First time I ever tried driving stick was in my friend’s dad’s ‘64 Beetle. Only messed around with it for like a half hour, but boy that thing was hard! There’s definitely a tricky line to walk with classics between preserving and enjoying them, between taking care of them and stretching their legs. The relative lack of technology and electronics really recalibrates your mind and tests your abilities. What I wonder a lot is what the classics of the future will be and what we’ll view as vintage years and years from now...possible next video?

  55.  @papa_pt  True, but that’s far less of a bad thing in my book than in many others’. Unpopular opinion, tho.

  56. Manual compact daily drivers for the win! Love driving my stick Mazda3 hatch, even here in downtown Seattle, which is literally perched on a hill. Doesn’t handle quite like the new Civics do (primarily bc torsion beam rear), but I much prefer the sound and power delivery of an NA 2.5 to a 1.5/1.6T personally, and I was willing to trade some handling and a couple mpg’s for that. And at Lake Washington C&C, it still gets a few looks and questions here and there.
    18
  57. I think part of the enthusiast disconnect with Tesla is a generational thing. I’m 22 and I’ve only driven manual for about a year now. I haven’t even learned how to rev match perfectly yet. For enthusiasts around my age and younger, we’ve only just started getting behind the wheel of ICE cars, learning stick, etc. and yet they’re already being phased out. Yet for enthusiasts closer to Tedward’s age, they’ve already had years of driving experience with manuals, ICE’s, etc, which perhaps is part of what makes them more receptive and open to such transformational change. Maybe they’re more ready for something new in the automotive space.
    18
  58. NA 4 cylinders don’t suck! Big reason why I love my Mazda3 so much, especially with a manual! Power delivery is so much nicer and more responsive than a 1.5/1.6T
    18
  59. Last I checked, we don’t drive on paper! Totally with you that - specs never tell the whole story!
    17
  60. Oh hell yes please do! I’m curious what your impressions are of the normal ZL1’s 10-speed auto vs. the GT500’s DCT.
    17
  61.  @ShaiyanHossain  Fair point. Actually that’s probably the better analogy lol
    16
  62. Wow that editing tho! This could be a documentary intro! The beginning kinda reminded me of Stranger Things...almost like the 600LT was the mind flayer or something...maybe that's just because I just finished season 3 lol. Loved the way it progressed, too. I was mesmerized the whole time! Easily my favorite of your videos from a cinematography standpoint!
    16
  63. Our neighbors across the street growing up had one of these and 2 E Class wagons. Exquisite taste they had.
    15
  64. Fun fact - my vehicle dynamics professor in college was a career GM engineer before he started teaching! Reminding me a lot of his class in this video!

  67. Fun > fast 100%. What a coincidence that I was just rereading Slow Car Fast by Ryan ZumMallen. Great book btw for anyone who hasn’t read it. Also how’s the MCT in these compared with the current C63...big difference or nah?
    12
  68. It’s “an car,” in the words of Daily Motor! Honestly, if I got a Miata for weekend funsies, this is the kind of vehicle I’d consider as a daily driver. As cool as stuff like the new Ioniq 5 N is, I’d want an EV to be a comfortable, practical, inexpensive-to-run daily driver in my case, which this does quite well! For being in the position they’re in, Nissan’s making pretty dang good lemonade with the lemons they have.
    12
  69. I could get used to this Tedward quarantine content😂 I’m resonating with a lot of the same feelings. My parents also have the news on like allllllllll day and I’m also craving that in person interaction with friends, even as an introvert, but I could honestly get used to this whole online class thing. Just roll out of bed and fire up Zoom! Or just watch the lecture videos your professors post whenever you want. Kinda nice tbh. What’s next? BMW E92 M3 Grocery Run POV?

  73. Engineering class with Tedward! Now THIS is the kind of curriculum I wish we covered in my heat transfer and thermodynamics classes!😭😭
    11
  74. All about spreading the love! Totally agree that we gotta detach masculinity from manual transmission expertise. So stupid omg. Also, auto rev match in every manual car should be able to be turned off at the press of a button. Don’t make me go into sport mode or turn off traction control or any of that shit. Just. let. me. press. the. damn. button. Also, #respectthestickdrivingmoms

  75. Those 850R’s are sweet! The Swedish FWD RS3s of the ‘90s! Also...fugazzi wtf😂😂

  76. I can’t decide what’s more satisfying - that French toast or the belt straps on that vintage BMW😍

  77. Lmaoooo. E36’s are hard to beat. I’d also say older Civic Si’s. Manual V6 Accords too.

  80. Quick! Calculate the tension in every one of the cables given the applied force of the Unimog.

  81. Happy to see you cheered up by this! You really do have such a special connection to these cars and talent in conveying and sharing those feelings with us. We love you!!! ❤

  82. Imho the M treatment is just lost on these larger BMW’s, especially with how they’re driven like 90% of the time. Makes sense on a 2 or 3 series, but for a 5 series on up, an Alpina would definitely be my personal choice. Much better grand tourer with still plenty of handling chops, and aesthetically more my taste, especially in green with the multispoke rims.

  83. Something something REAL MEN something something ‘MURICA bla bla bla…

  86. Lol, look at the window switches in a previous gen Merc E Class. I think you’ll find they’re pretty familiar.
    7
  87. This is way more exciting than the Zoom lecture I should be watching. It sure is getting old at this point, but god I love that EJ25. Such a unique, unmistakable sound. Recognizable from a mile away! Sounds especially good with that Cobb exhaust. Also I hella feel you on touching your face😂
    7
  88. Coupe looks good, but I’d HAVE to get a cabrio to hear that V10 top down😛😛 Base vs. plus? Probably base since cabrio body style takes away the ultimate in handling capability anyway, and cabrio is likely better suited to the base’s character. Probably unpopular choices, but that’s just me🤷‍♂️ If I was goin’ balls out on the track tho, Plus coupe all day.

  92. Oh hey I know that car! Best birthday present ever! 🎉🎁🎂🥳

  93. Wow what a guy! I'd sure love to be where he's at by the time I'm 21! Loved his insights into the racing scene. You've got yourself a new sub, Jackie!
    6
  94. Definitely miss cars like this that take skill to drive. Totally agree - that’s how you cultivate love and passion for a driver’s car. Sadly that seems to be getting less and less viable in today’s market. But at least there are still cars like this to appreciate.
    6
  95. As soon as I typed that I did have second thoughts lolol. I think 991.1 also makes a strong case for being the last of the NA models, considering the model lineup generally
    6
  96. Gimme a few - gotta get through the 11 GT86 videos in my sub box that just dropped first then I’ll come back to this.

  100. Tedward is a knowledgeable automotive enthusiast who provides entertaining content on YouTube. I appreciate his passion for cars and his ability to connect with his audience.

  101. Oui oui Tedouard tres bien l'Alpine! This almost kinda strikes me as like a French Miata with the way you were describing it... Hope you get to drive the current version one day!
    5
  102. Tedward I’ll be able to if an apocalypse is imminent😂
    5
  103. MDX’s have some moves for a 3 row SUV! My mom has a 2016 I’ve driven a handful of times and it’s pretty well-composed through corners and tbh even that base NA V6 is ample in power. Type S is definitely a welcome addition to the lineup to creep into Q7 3.0/X5 40i territory, though.
    5
  104. I think this is my new favorite entry in this segment. As far as I’m concerned, this is the actual new 3 Series. Best driving car in this class BY A MILE, even if it has some other shortcomings. But I could probably live with those personally. I’d get mine in a Lusso Trim in Visconti Green with the beige interior and swap on summer tires.
    5
  105. Into the 40’s MPG is damn good. I’ve seen like 37-38 at the most in my 6-speed Mazda3. Averaging like 33 overall.
    5
  106. Would also be hilarious to see a big gay road trip with 9 twinks in one of the base models with 3 rows of bench seating
    5
  107. Tedward Air - 1 J/gK, Water - 4.18 J/gK I swear I didn’t just google that
    5
  108. ND2 Miata for me. Just speaks to my heart the most. But that’s not to say the Boxster and S2000 aren’t amazing.
    5
  109. The R35 is amazing, don't get me wrong, but I can see why many people say it's "too digital" and that it feels like a video game. The fact that it's so good at finding grip does sap some of the personality. I hope Nissan comes out with a successor, though. If they're smart in how they implement tech to improve the driving experience while still making it engaging and giving it some personality (and keep it in a reasonable price range, of course), I think it could end up a lot like how many people wish the new NSX had ended up...and if they make it mid-engined, it could make a cool AWD alternative to the C8...
    5
  110. JLR should offer some kinda heritage/retro design edition on the new ones that mimics this look. Maybe through SVO or something
    4
  111. What a brilliant car. Porsche struck just the right balance here between classic 911 traits and a few steps forward into the future (though I agree with your exterior niggles). As someone made into a car guy because of the 911, I’ve appreciated more and more how steadily Porsche evolves it with each generation, especially as so many automakers race towards the future at breakneck speed. If it were me, I’d go for the base version with the 7 speed manual and the smallest wheel setup.
    4
  112. The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, what a fantastic vehicle! It was a true gem from General Motors during the Great Recession. The Cobalt SS was known for its sporty performance and sleek design. It really showcased Chevrolet's commitment to producing quality vehicles even during challenging times. Plus, the Mark of Excellence badge just added that extra touch of pride and craftsmanship. A great choice for any car enthusiast!
    4
  113. Wowowowowowowowowow. The Evija’s gotta be my favorite looking hypercar. You see enough pictures of hypercars and they’re all wild and crazy looking in their own ways, but they all blend together for some reason. (Ok maybe that’s just me). But there’s something different about the Evija. I love how the taillights are built into the rear air ducts like that. Just lets the bodywork do all the talking. Hope it drives as good as it looks!

  114. YESSSSSSSS I’ve been looking forward to this one! Looks absolutely epic! And if you think Rainier’s pretty from there, wait till you see Rainier National Park itself 😏 Thanks for bringing us along for the Tedventure!

  116. I’ll admit…I was one of those people who saw Tesla as a threat and viewed them with contempt. But over time I’ve realized they do deserve credit for one thing: they’ve introduced a lot of creativity and originality to the auto industry - so much so that their products can practically market themselves. Enormous respect for that, especially considering the marketing tactics that certain legacy automakers are responding with👀
    4
  117. Omg the two tone exterior on this goes hard
    4
  118. Absolutely PROPER spec 🤤 will absolutely go down as one of the great automotive designs of our time. Ian Callum’s finest!
    4
  119. I hope you cover some of those oddball Cannonball stories you mentioned at some point. Those honestly seem more interesting to me than just sending it in an S8 or an M5. As for the M5, if I’m honest, it just strikes me as a numbers car. 600 hp! Fast < 3 s 0-60! Amazing G’s! But behind the wheel on everyday roads, about as much fun as that maroon Subaru Legacy. There’s just something...missing. A fun quality at everyday speeds on public roads, I guess.
    4
  120. Wow. This thing makes the 992 look like an S Class Coupe by comparison😳
    4
  121. Omg I always get sad when I reach the end of one of your vlogs since I wish they would just keep going :(( I guess they just feel shorter than they are haha. Always so enjoyable to watch! Keep em coming! Hope you get some POV footage of the McLaren!
    4
  122. Oh I use touchless washes all the time. But then again, my car’s paint was crap when I got it anyway sooooooo...🤷‍♂️
    4
  123. I actually think it was a smart move by Subaru to keep the Legacy’s overall character more conservative. I think with a lot of midsize sedans trying to get more and more sporty and athletic, there could be a subset of disaffected buyers out there who owned, say, an older Camry and are put off by the some of the newer entries in this segment. However, in this class, I’d personally go for either an Accord or a Mazda6. I wish Subaru would just slightly improve some aspects of this car. Make the handling slightly better but still keep the comfy ride, make the infotainment slightly more responsive and easier to use, make the safety tech slightly less overactive and intrusive. But hopefully these are all things they’ll address in a mid-cycle update.

  124. 996!😍 Neighbor across the street from us growing up had one in pretty much this spec but a coupe and let me sit in it as a wee lil toddler, and it was that moment when the car bug bit me!

  125. Glad everyone is okay - that's always what's most important. Cars can be replaced, people can't. And kudos for shining a light on making safety a priority in the car buying process. It's easy to lose sight of that reading stuff like Car and Driver and Road and Track all the time. I'm sure Matt Maran wouldn't have wanted to be in a Challenger either when that tree fell on the roof of his Mustang. I'm lucky to have not been in an accident that bad, but I totally see how your view on safety could change once you've experienced it. And on a lot of freeway entrances and interchanges at least here in the Bay Area, there are these extremely short shitty merging lanes that make it MUCH harder than it should be to merge into traffic. Like you have maybe a few hundred feet. It's ridiculous and I'm surprised I've never seen an accident on any of them. Need to get my civil engineering friends to change that!

  127. And this is why I’m not a marketing major! I could never prey on people’s consumer tendencies like this just to make a profit. It just feels so wrong to me. I get some of the allure of having a car that’s unique, but for me, that’s more about having actual different car than everyone than a different version of the same car as everyone else. Glad you shined some light on this!

  129. Definitely glad to see BMW at least somewhat found their way back after the F30. I remember at the MAMA rally when Chris told you “don’t even drive” the 330i M-Sport, so I’m a little surprised to see you enjoy it as much as you did, honestly. Personally, I’d be tempted by some of the more off-the-beaten-path choices in this segment like the Giulia or the G70, but of the 3 German players, this would probably be my choice.
    3
  130. Wow I would have been scared shitless! Huge props to those firefighters - they've got balls of steel. Glad everyone is okay thank goodness! And about the new G20 3 series, I've heard many people say that the M Sport package totally fucks the ride quality and makes it waaaaaaay too stiff.

  131. Tedward serving Ferris Bueller realness!

  132. What a sound! I could listen to that allllllll day! Who cares that it’s not as fast as F30 or the G20 with those lame turbo 4s?! When I read or watch reviews, I find myself caring about 0-60 times less and less. I usually just use that to get a general idea of how fast the car is. Is it under 4s? Between like 4 and 6 s? Over 7 s? When you’re talking a big game just bc you’re .1 s faster 0-60, like come on man, that’s just a dick measuring contest lol.

  133. With how many entries in this segment are becoming overstyled, I actually think the conservative aesthetic is an asset. Clean, simple and classy like Honda’s of old! Hopefully Honda improved the manual from the prior gen, though. Prior gen garden variety manual Civics were no bueno! That was a big factor in why I just went for a Mazda3 hatch manual in this segment.
    3
  134. Imo, Honda should be focusing less on something like this and more on upgrading the Si with a detuned version of the 2.0T. If the 2.0T is already pumping out ~300 hp in the Type R and ~250 hp in the Accord, then ~230 hp seems like a pretty conservative output level. That’s why I have a hard time buying their “reliability” argument with the 1.5T. Yeah, you get the LSD and the active dampers, but that’s just not enough to justify the upgrade over a Sport hatchback to me. Drop the 2.0T in and keep it a relative value to the GTI, then we’ll talk.
    3
  135. Challenger would make for a sick new daily! And so true what you said about so few cars having that soul/fun factor anymore. I’d go Camaro if I was gonna go muscle tho bc I appreciate the handling ability and mag ride. Oh and have you done a vid on an ND Miata yet?
    3
  136. Luxury nowadays is tech, sadly (imo) :( It’s less and less about leather, wood, and metal, which puts Mercedes in quite a sticky position. But since automakers do nothing but chase trends and copy each other nowadays, can’t say I’m surprised that the new S Class looks the way it does. I think the current S Class strikes a really really nice balance between traditional luxury lavishness/opulence and cutting edge tech. Next gen S Class looks to be too much of the latter in my opinion.

  137. Cool to see someone check out a more base version of one of these. I feel like all I’ve seen on YouTube are the $100k+ Series III Grand Wagoneers with the passenger screen and everything. I’d much rather go for one like this personally.

  147. I have to say - I think I'm coming around to the new Supra. Do I wish we had a marketplace where cars like the Supra could do well enough that automakers could see enough value in developing them independently? Absolutely. But that doesn't make this Supra a bad car. I'd certainly rather have this than no Supra at all. I hope it does well enough that we might even get a next gen version (optimistic as that is). Love hearing your thoughts, as always.

  148. Gladiator is a fuckin beast! FCA actually has some balls, unlike so many other companies lol. Love that they’re keeping their products fun and adventurous, even with the compromises that come with that.

  154. I personally think I could live without Apple CarPlay just fine, especially if Google Maps is the native mapping interface and it’ll still play all my music and podcasts, but…GM could be leaving a hell of a lot of sales and leases on the table with that choice. It’ll really be interesting to see how this does on the market in comparison with the Prologue, which is essentially a Blazer with CarPlay and Android Auto…

  155. Tedward exposin motivational speakers and I’m SO here for it!😂😂 Sure, if you take them with a grain of salt (via some video you didn’t pay for) and take away purely the substance, that can sometimes be helpful. But it won’t suddenly, miraculously change your habits and behavior- that’s on YOU to do! It’s gotta be YOUR OWN passion that motivates you! Ok, time to get more go juice

  156. My grandpa had one of these way back in the day! I guess this was the car that put Porsche love in my blood!

  157. ALTIMUHHHHH 😍🤩😩 Honestly, though, I’d be curious to try out one of the older manual V6 models like the SE-R or even just one of the garden variety coupes. Probably hilarious front tire burners if manual V6 Accords are any indication
    3
  158. 7:45 YES! Careful, studied evolution is what it’s all about! That’s why the 911 made me a car guy and I’ll always love it, yet I’m still trying to warm up to the new NSX.

  159. I find myself thinking about this a lot, and I share many of the same sentiments. I didn’t really get re-interested in cars until 2014ish. It’s 2021 now, seven years from then - about 1 average product life cycle. And I often I feel like I’ve witnessed the one last generation of new cars I’ll be excited about. New cars are becoming wayyyyyy too numb and computerized for my taste, and technology is just getting over-the-top. I definitely wish there were more analog driving experiences in the new car market. And I’ll admit - I was one of those who saw EV’s (especially Teslas) as a threat. I’ve come around to them somewhat and I get they make a lot of sense as A-to-B daily drivers, but I just don’t see them as terribly exciting from an enthusiast standpoint, no matter how instantaneous their torque may be. I do think hybrid technology is something we should be taking advantage of more, especially to keep NA engines relevant. Ultimately I just hope we can pass down our passion for driving and analog cars to that next generation and keep the enthusiasm alive.
    3
  160. I’m really glad you raise this point since this is such an important part of this conversation. I share a similar concern - I too hope fun cars will still be relatively accessible to everyone from a financial standpoint and not just limited exclusively to the wealthy. The diversity of car people and car enthusiasm is a huge part of what makes the culture so fascinating. Hope that isn’t lost.

  161. Tedward I appreciate that a lot about your videos. Makes your promotions more trustworthy. The only better person to promote something than someone who likes it is the person who created it! It’s their baby they’ve worked hard on!
    2
  162. Great, helpful info! You could make more vids like this and turn it into a series like "Tedward's track tips" or something like that for novice track drivers! Just an idea lol, but you're great at explaining this stuff in a complete, yet understandable way

  168. A well done SUV for sure, but I think I prefer the GLS personally. That grille still has not grown on me AT ALL🤮🤢🥴. And honestly, I find the M Performance treatment on a 3 row SUV silly. I want my people hauler to just be a comfortable people hauler. But completely agree that technology in new cars has gone wayyyyyyy off the deep end. Too much and more than I’d ever want in a car personally. And a lot of it isn’t actually about engineering a better solution - much of it is just about engineering toys and marketing gimmicks that wow you once and you never use again!🤦🏼‍♂️
    2
  169. Alex Pascutiu Wow! That’s impressive! And to think BMW switched to the turbo 4 for fuel economy...give me a break! But I did read in C&D that they managed to get 40 mpg highway in the new 330i. But still, I thought BMW was supposed to be the ultimate driving machine...oh wait, they’re not anymore lollllllll

  175. A very fitting and relevant topic for me personally. There’s a lot I’ve experienced later in life than the vast majority of people do. Hell…it literally started when I was born! My parents expected me in December but I stayed in the womb over a week into January! Lolol. There’s a lot of insecurity and shame I’ve felt around this for a long time, some of which I’ve gotten a grip on, and some of which still lingers and rears its ugly head from time to time. But what matters is that you’re here now and that you make the most of the present while learning from the past and keeping your future in mind. There’s already so much you’ve done well in building this channel and working hard to pursue what you love, and I’m sure I speak for many here when I say we all appreciate and support where you are right here and right now. Things will work themselves out in time, and it’ll be an amazing journey regardless of how it unfolds or whether it’s what you expect 😊
    2
  176. Omg I would have shit my pants if I saw this as a kid😱🤤 You’re totally right about super fast cars like this, though. 0-60 times are starting to mean less and less to me. All about FUN and USABLE performance! And if you have that much speed, use it responsibly! RTD! P.S. More Poppa Tedward!

I don’t want this guy within even a mile of a car meet. You’re totally right - this is exactly the kind of thing we can’t afford to have in the car community. It’ll only make it harder for us to have a place in the future and make people want to place more blame on us. Definitely a situation worth bringing up, as much as I know how little you care for influencers haha.

  185. My issue with this car (and the A35 and S3 for that matter) isn’t that they’re bad cars. In a vacuum, sure, there’s nothing glaringly bad about this (though the fake engine noise is sooooooo cheesy and I’d be lying if I said the whole FWD BMW thing didn’t bother me). My issue is that for $50k (which most of these seem to go for), I can EASILY think of 5 cars I’d rather have for the same or less money. M235/240i 2 door RWD coupe, GTI/Golf R, Genesis G70/Kia Stinger, Giulia Ti, Mazda3 Turbo. There are 5 right there. There are sooooooooo many more compelling places in the car market to take this kind of $$$.

  190. You've given me lots of good important stuff to think about as I come up on 21. This stuff's especially important to think about in college, too, with homework and stuff you gotta get done on the weekend. Ya boi's gotta keep up that gpa! I've had my share of bad experiences with alcohol, but nothing nearly as horrible as waking up nude in a closed cvs lmao and I've lived and learned through it and made smarter choices since. Thanks for keeping it real and reminding us to take care of ourselves. You're such a breath of fresh air here on YouTube. Keep content like this coming!
    2
  191. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this; it's amazing how down-to-Earth you are and your vulnerability is so admirable. I'll be honest - I've been into cars for most of my life, but it's something that, with most people, I don't like to talk about very much and try to keep a secret. I just don't have anything to speak for it and I feel like there's some sort of shame in that. On top of that, I fear the awkwardness of taking those first steps of getting into all this stuff, especially because I'm a very slow learner and need lots of time to master new things. At least for me, another one of the toxic aspects of the whole YouTube car scene is that it has allowed me to build this passion inside a bubble and keep it all to myself, and after a while, holding it all inside gets really, REALLY tiring. I've made some progress in trying to be more open about being into cars, but there's certainly still a long way for me to go. I've just got to remind myself that everybody starts somewhere and keep moving, even when the going gets tough. You're truly a special person, Tedward, and I hope you always remember that. I'm sure I speak for many when I say that you're such an inspiration and that I love you so much! Please keep doing what you're doing and never stop!

  194. Not a bad choice for someone simply looking for A to B transportation. Though a “warm-but-not-quite-hot”model with, say, the 1.5T 3 cylinder from the Rogue or the 2.5 from the Altima could make for a cool addition to the lineup. Maybe even with a manual if Nissan was really feeling spicy 👀
    2
  195. Great to see the RTD series getting some love! A Thursday morning with Tedward is a Thursday well spent! You and Eddie are so much fun to watch, especially with Eddie shitting on the Z and calling BS on the M5 lmaoooo. Convos on the general car YouTube scene and first time track driving were interesting, too. If I'm honest, I miss the live aspect, but I still could have kept watching for another half hour lol. In a future episode, I'd love to listen to you guys go really in depth on the future of cars with the advent of electric and autonomous cars and mobility services and stuff like that, and especially what it means for enthusiasts like us and what role we'll play in the world of cars going forward. Thatdudeinblue had a great vid on this and it'd be cool to hear some more perspectives. Yes, some of this is still a ways off, but would still make for some really good meaningful discussion. Just my two cents. Can't wait for the next episode!

  196. But they didn’t tilt the gauges sideways though! 😡

  197. I used to roll my eyes and be like “yeah, yeah, whatever” when people would say “don’t follow the traditional path,” “chase your dreams,” and stuff like that about your 20’s. If you’d told me 7-8 years ago that I’d be interning with a company called Insanity Lab Racing designing and making carbon fiber racecar parts in the middle of nowhere in the Washington woods, I would have told you you were…well…insane. But after a few weeks there now, I’m starting to get what that means. It’s far from one of the big name companies around Seattle that all these engineers go find jobs at, like Boeing or PACCAR or Blue Origin, but it’s super hands-on, something different each day, and the guys I’m working with are absolute racecar masterminds. And this was what I told myself I’d wanted all through undergrad - somewhere I could manifest my enthusiasm for cars and be around people who share my automotive passion! And hey, if this doesn’t end up being what I want long term, I can always use this experience to get myself into some other kind of composite engineering. But don’t be afraid to get creative - I literally found this company through a Seattle Cars and Coffee Facebook group. You never know how the right opportunity will come across your path.
    2
  198. You’ve made me surprisingly open-minded about this! Now thinking about all the other cars I think it’d could be cool to do this with…Beetles, MR2’s, Fieros…

PS I ship you and Chris so hard. I expect some objections at the wedding jk jk

  206. It all comes down to balance, like most things in life. Believe in your own approach, but be open to the genuinely constructive criticism. A helpful video to watch, especially as I’m trying to think about how I want to form a secondary income generator of some sort on the side. Luckily, I do enjoy my primary engineering job a lot, and the pay/benefits are ample for me to live comfortably, but a side hustle of some sort would help me achieve my savings and garage goals more quickly. The thing about that kind of endeavor, though, is it has to be something that I have enough passion for that it’s enjoyable in my little free time available outside the 9-to-5 life, yet something that also generates the income I’m looking to generate by monetizing it. There’s a happy zone to be found somewhere in the middle, though. Just gotta give and take a bit.
    2
  207. Great to see some classic Honda love from Tedward! Brings back memories of the 1st gen MDX I drove in high school! Love your line that “It’s always obvious when a car was built by people who like driving.” FOR SURE! We need A LOT more of that in the new car market!

  212. I've said this before but your ability and comfort in just being yourself is heartwarming. You're exactly the kind of person we need more of in the car scene, especially here on YouTube. Watching you carve your own path is more inspirational than I can say and makes me feel immensely more comfortable in my own skin. You've got a lifelong subscriber in me. Keep being you <3

  215. My biggest hope on this topic is that we all have as many choices as much of the time as possible. Having lived in downtown Seattle for almost a year now, I’ve walked places, I’ve ridden my bike places, I’ve driven places, I’ve taken the bus, I’ve taken Ubers, I’ve taken ferries, and I’ve taken the rail line. Pretty much every way of getting round except for the streetcars. If self-driving cars are another choice among those, totally open to that. Will that likely be the case everywhere all the time? Probably not, considering the environment self-driving cars need to operate most efficiently. Personally I’d still like the choice to drive as many places as possible. But I recognize that there’s a place and a role for self-driving cars in the future for those who’d simply like to be transported from A to B as quickly as possible, especially in urban areas. Hopefully we can find a way where we can all get along and get around as we choose in situations where that makes sense.

  225. In my honest opinion, this gen 7 Series is just trying too hard to be a BMW S Class. I wish this had a more uniquely athletic character of it’s own. And that grille just strikes me as a lazy, half-assed attempt to make this stand out. I think they could have approached that in a far more classy and tasteful but still distinctive way. In this echelon of full-size luxury sedans, I’d probably go for a Panamera personally, even if it was just an S model for the same money.

Quarantining’s been going alright...home from college with my family and classes are going fine online. But if I’m honest, this is the point where I wish I was more independent. I’m just ready to live on my own at this point. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to do that, but I’ll definitely have more time to find ways to take those next steps with all this downtime.

  242. Easily one of my favorite vids of yours - definitely worth the wait! Haven't been a fan of the way most McLarens sound, but WOW that thing sounds like a BEAST! Must have been surreal to experience in person! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

  244. As purely daily drivers, sure, EV’s make a lot of sense, and I’d definitely consider owning one for simply that purpose. But while the crazy speed and flat handling certainly seem impressive, I would need more than just those things to consider an EV fun to drive from my enthusiast standpoint. Namely, there would have to be a more dynamic sensation to the power delivery. But perhaps that will come further down the line. Like for instance, I’d love to see someone program an electric motor to deliver power like an EJ25. Or from a handling standpoint, leave a little more body roll in there. Make it feel less “video-gamey.” An in terms of the interior, leave some hard buttons for commonly used controls, please! I’m definitely more open to EV’s than I used to be, and while I wouldn’t have one as my only car, I’m excited to see where they go in the future.

  245. What a coincidence! I literally just biked past a guy yesterday who was selling an E39 540i lol. He was power washing a rat’s nest out from under it. Looked really clean and had some tasteful mods, but didn’t pass smog, sadly :( One day! Good to see the M5 getting some TLC!

  253. The CarPlay in my Mazda3 has had some glitches, too, but mine’s wired-in only and I think it’s on my phone’s end, not the car’s end. Just a random lil stretch of my daily commute where I get very spotty cell service and Google Maps thinks I’m in the middle of a park or like 3 blocks over lol. Having had an all-manual garage for as long as you have, do you wish one of the cars in your fleet was an auto? Debating whether I’d want an auto daily if I got a Miata for funsies.

  254. Yessssssss base 911’s deserve wayyyyyyyy more love! Power that’s actually usable on the street! S is certainly a nice step up in torque especially, but this is still plenty. I’d definitely consider one if it was in good shape.

  256. Driving school with Tedward! I don’t even remember learning some of this😳 But now I know!
    1
  257. This is a tricky one for me. This new NSX is the first car I remember reading about where every outlet who had driven it had vastly different opinions on it. Personally, I’ve definitely needed time to warm up to it. For context, the 911 made me a car guy. As I’ve grown up, I’ve appreciated more and more how carefully and steadily Porsche has evolved it over the years. This, by its very name (New Sports eXperimental) can’t be that. And I’m not saying that’s bad; it’s just not what I most easily appreciate. I still think Acura went too far out ahead of their skis with the tech. Granted, I’ve never driven one, but the setup just strikes me as too digital and software-centric. I’d be really curious what this car would be like in a RWD layout with just the rear electric motor and no front motors. I think that would go a long way in getting some natural steering feel back. Maybe some other automakers will approach mid-engine hybrids that way, though.

  261.  @TedwardDrives  How much did that little guy have in options?
    1
  262.  @TedwardDrives  So that’d put it at like $50k? $40k to $50k seems like a big jump for a lot of shoppers to me, but then again these things are probably leased anyway so...🤷‍♂️ And I’m sure BMW dealers know how to cook up an irresistible lease deal lol
    1
  263.  @TedwardDrives  It doesn’t make me angry! I’m not trying to hate on this car. If there are shoppers who buy, lease, whatever and enjoy it, that’s great! The point I was just trying to make is that it’s simply not the car for me. Different strokes for different folks.
    1
  264.  @TedwardDrives  For $50k or less? Any of the 5 I mentioned in my comment! And that’s before we even get into the used market!

  268. We love to see a hypermiling road trip! I’ve always wanted to do this with a 7MT 991 911 or C7 Corvette with cruise control at 70-80 staying in 6th one way and using 7th going back the same way. Curious how much of a highway fuel economy bump that extra tall 7th can yield.
    1
  269.  @TedwardDrives  I mean...if you mean the Outback then technically yes lol. Volvo actually had somewhat of a successor to this in the previous generation S60 cross country. That’s the closest thing I can think of.

  270. First time I treat myself to a detail job for my car, I’m definitely staying and watching lol that was so satisfying!

  271. Also get into some FB groups! Some can get nasty and toxic and aren’t worth your time, but most are full of nice people who want to hang out and make car friends, tho obviously use your internet instincts. Been using that to find C&C’s here in Seattle and I’ve even gone to a few just by myself to meet and talk to people. It can feel awkward at first but there’s bound to be at least one person you strike up a good conversation with.
    1
  272. YES! LESS IS MORE! Wish more automakers today would remember this. Spec sheet stats may be easy to market and talk up on a dealer lot, but they rarely translate to a fun, memorable experience once you’re actually out on public roads. Slow car fast! TOADWARD!🐸🐸
    1
  273. These ZHP’s are awesome. Seems like a great daily driver and the rarity aspect definitely makes them appealing compared to an M3 of this gen. I’ve been looking around for some of these on used car sites and many of them are still worth decent money. Can’t decide whether I’d rather have this or a manual E46 wagon...it’d be a tough choice! Great drive and video! Oh and that coffee ad was some quality ASMR.

  274. My cheap ass would vote for replacing just the clunky ones with the TRW’s. Can’t wait to see the replacement footage!

  283.  @TedwardDrives  Oh I would too haha. But the M5 just needs something...more. The personality factor is missing to me. Needs some E63ness in its DNA...

  285. Wow Audi’s really gotten their V8 sound game down! This TTV8 was a Porsche-led project and it sure shows lol. The whole SUV coupe thing still makes no sense to me, but hey, if they make VAG $$$ to keep giving us 911s and R8’s, so be it. I think personally, the Cayenne is the closest to my taste of all these VAG SUV’s, but this thing is still pretty wicked.
    1
  286. More snow days with Tedward!😍 I’m definitely more appreciative of the NSX than when it first came out, but there’s still a wee bit of skepticism I have towards it. From purely what I know about the powertrain setup, all that hybrid complexity seems like it would make for an awfully digital driving experience. But hey, I’m open to being surprised if I ever experience it in person.
    1
  287. With the 4 and 7 Series, I think the conservative aesthetic kinda has newfound appeal, and I’m glad they kept some hard buttons inside. And features like that backup helper actually seem surprisingly useful. But I wish even this 540i had a similar quality to something like the Honda Accord, where the exterior is clean and unsuspecting but under the skin that there’s thrilling, rewarding, lively personality to the chassis tuning. If it had that quality, it’d be my favorite in this segment in a heartbeat. But as you said, that just isn’t the case here, so I’d probably shop elsewhere in this segment personally. That’s just me, though.

  289. Not everything in life is completely 100% rational - we’re humans, not computers or robots. Cars are emotional endeavors to people like us, even if you grew up watching unhealthy amounts of Alex on Autos (yes, I was a very very strange child). Appreciate that you followed your heart, even if there might have been some smart things to do prior to buying. I’d have just as hard a time passing up a good 911 as you did, especially since I was into 996’s too. Love all the Outlaw content. It really is a beautiful car. Also, respect the birds🐤

  290. Now I know not to apply to be a project manager😂😂 But in all honesty, I’d probably suck at that from your description of it. So glad you’re happy doing what you love. Honestly, I’m still not quite sure where I want to take my mechanical engineering degree. Do I want to go into the auto industry or just have cars be a hobby? Do I want to go on to grad school and get like a masters or a teaching degree? Do I want to go straight into the workforce? Lots of questions I’m pondering, especially since this pandemic really puts into perspective what’s truly important in life. On that note, one thing I’ve thought about a lot is how there seems to be a heightened awareness among people of our generation that our work should not only be something we love, but also something that makes the world a better place. I’m worried about not only how others will view me, but also how I’ll view myself if my work doesn’t reflect that level of social awareness and social consciousness. Now’s the perfect time to think this all through, though!

  291. That trunk closing sound is a deal breaker. Jk jk. The DB11 is a stunner for sure. Call me an old man, but I think I’m more smitten by the new Continental GT, especially inside with that rotating infotainment display. Haven’t sat in either tho, so take that fwiw. Both incredible cars.

  295. Hell, I’m not nearly as interested in new cars as I used to be. The one nice side effect of that is that I don’t feel tons of pressure to make as much money as possible to afford a new car. There are so many great fun used cars on the market for wayyyyyy less $$$ than new cars. But I see the satisfaction in a new car purchase for sure. Never worth it to stretch yourself into something you can’t afford tho for whatever reason, especially to impress other people or show off. Spend your money the way YOU want to to make YOURSELF happy!

  304. Supercar vlogs on YouTube got old for me reeeeeeeeeal quick. More oddball projects like Emelia Hartford’s K-swapped Prius and Sarahntuned’s SVT Focus interest me so much more now since they’re actually attainable and enjoyable on public roads. As much as we love cars just for being cars, it’s honestly so much more than that. It’s the feelings, the places, the people, and so much more that draw us to this stuff. Always remember that.
    1
  305.  @TedwardDrives  Yep same for me. At that point I’m just like lollllll byeeeeeee. The last thing I need in my sub box is clickbait. Considering how few new cars I’m guessing I’ll be interested in by the time I can afford any of them, I see lots of used market shopping in my future. And I definitely want to spend lots of quality time with whatever cars I end up with and thoroughly enjoy them.

  307. Tedward EXACTLY! Wayyyyy too many automakers nowadays are obsessed with chasing trends, copying what everyone else is doing, and attempting to pander to the greatest common denominator. And it shows in the products those companies put out. FCA just goes balls out and they FUCKIN OWN IT! Huge respect for that.

  309. Hmmm...I think I’d keep the M3 for a little while longer and then make the transition to a more strictly track-focused replacement...what could potential next cars be? I know you’ve mentioned 981 Caymans before... Or...you could replace E92 with a daily and replace the E39 with a cheap track car...

  323. My uncle’s eGolf has a similar feature with the slapshift down on the shifter. In the eGolf, though, your regen braking settings aren’t saved between key cycles, so you have to reset it every single time you start it. It’d be nice to set it and forget it. Maybe link it to key fob settings...🤔 On the Kona, though, I like that they’re offering a colorful interior color combo like that. Wish more companies would do the same.
    1
  324. I was one of the lucky ones, I guess. Definitely had some great memories from lifeguarding and swim lessons. Actually made most of my friends there instead of school. Bosses were firm at times but always respectful and taught me to thrive under pressure and think on my feet. And we’d get to overhear kids saying really funny shit.
    1
  325. Still can’t get over the buckteeth personally. Does sound much better than the S55 from the inside for sure, though, even if a lot of it is piped in. I think given that manuals nowadays are purely about fun and involvement and not outright straight line performance, perhaps a manual would be better suited to the M340/440i models since they’re not trying to be the utmost in speed and handling capability.
