  2. Really grateful that you appreciated this car for what it is - a simple, comfortable, quiet, everyday EV hatchback. I feel like I’ve seen more and more reviewers unfairly holding a lack of sex appeal against any EV not trying to project any. Not every EV has to try to rival a Tesla for cool factor, and I think the “normal car” vibe could be an asset for a lot of prospective buyers.

  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!

  4. Grateful that you appreciated this car for the reliable, fuel-efficient comfy cruiser it is, even with all the F Sport fluff, and thank you for only invoking “old people” once in the whole video. I’m just sick of all the tired, boring, old people stereotype jokes becoming too common in reviews of cars like this. Comfort, reliability and fuel economy should be qualities ANYONE can appreciate! Great video as always.

  5. HEY THAT’S MY CAR! 😍😍 It’s definitely surprised a lot of people I’ve encountered that they still make this. I’ve been super happy with mine over 3.5 years and 50k miles. I understand the space constraints relative to, say, a Civic hatch, but it’s had all the space I’ve needed (have fit whole bikes inside with the front tire off and the back seats down) and the only passenger I’ve driven who hasn’t fit in the back seats is my 6’3 dad. Driving wise, it does lean more toward the luxury/refinement end of the spectrum, but it can hang if you want to hustle every once in a while. The manual was super easy for me to get used to, but my only issue with it is with the more efficiency-focused gearing, the gears are fairly far spaced, which, with some of these Seattle hills, can be annoying. Hill start assist is a godsend, though, as is radar cruise control with the manual for road trips. Drove mine from LA to SF, SF to Seattle, and on countless trips now from Seattle to Portland and back. Best efficiency on the highway I’ve seen is 37-38 mpg. Overall, Realistick mentioned this in his review, but this is one of those very precisely and specifically targeted cars for a particular customer, but if you are one of those people, there’s nothing else quite like it. Would be a great new car for someone coming out of something like a 6-speed Volvo C30 or Audi A3. Ok, thanks for coming to my owner’s TedTalk.

  8. 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!

  11. A house on one of my bike routes has one of these. I kinda dig them. Exterior strikes the right balance between being quirky and different but not bizarre or weird for the hell of it. Don’t love the all-tablet center stack and wish there were some more hard buttons, but at least the infotainment seems pretty snappy. I’d definitely take this over a Model Y/3 or Mach E.

  14. Fellow ‘21 Mazda owner here! Mine’s a 3 hatch with a 6-speed! Been super happy with it and your videos were part of my choice! Manual is no Civic Si manual but still feels pretty good and it’s been easy to learn as a new stick driver. Revs drop really naturally with the NA 2.5, and much prefer its power delivery to a 1.5/1.6T. The parking brake thing is actually kinda handy with the stick, tho. Drove mine from San Francisco to Seattle and it was a great highway cruiser. Super quiet, nice safety tech suite (manual still gets radar cruise!) and I averaged 37 mpg. Totally with you on the infotainment/cabin simplicity. Just a few months and I’m already super used to it, tho my center console and airbag cover also have a few scratches.

  19. 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
  20. 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!

  23. Personally, I’d love to see the 8 Series get the Alpina treatment. I feel like that would be better suited to the overall GT nature of this car...

  25. 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.
    55
  26. But when is the electric Murano CrossCabriolet coming, though? 😩
    55
  27. Fun fact - the first vehicle I ever rented was previous gen Elantra! Was flying through DFW for a job interview and the company rented me something “intermediate” and it was this or an EcoSport…easy choice
    54
  28. This may seem like a minute, trivial detail, but I really appreciate how you use terminology like “Hyundai’s models” or “products” or “their lineup” as opposed to “the Hyundai brand.” Reinforces that you’re focused on the cars themselves and not image issues, public perception or stereotypes. A small thing that makes a big difference to me.

    48
  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 learned stick on a 5-speed X5 of this era! I still miss it sometimes, even if it leaked coolant on me at 112k miles💀 To it’s credit, though, it made it 900 miles from San Francisco, CA to Spokane, WA flawlessly with 109k miles. But I totally get your point at trusting a super high mileage well-maintained older BMW like yours over one like I had. That’s pretty damn solid for 364k miles!

  34. Think your observations here are pretty spot on. It’s definitely not perfect or far and away best in class, but there’s A LOT they did get right and most of the shortcomings are midcycle refreshable. They truly are almost there. For being in the position they’re in, Nissan and Infiniti are sure trying to make the best lemonade they can with the lemons they have.
    40
  35. 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
  36. 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
  37. 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...

  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 😭
    33
  42. This is a really cool offering in this segment tbh. Definitely my aesthetic preference to the corresponding Elantra. And it kinda has a similar sort of off-the-beaten-path appeal that the Stinger GT does. While you could argue the Si/GTI are enthusiast choices just by virtue of having been around so long and earning their “car guy street cred,” I’d say this is an enthusiast choice in the sense that to go for one of these shows you’re an intelligent buyer who doesn’t care about pedigree or stigma or brand image and just wants a different, yet still great option with great dynamics and a lot of value. If the Mazda4 didn’t exist for some reason, I woulda looked hard at one of these.
    31
  43. Makes me miss my old E53 5-speed!😢 Glad BMW stepped the plug-in hybrid up to an I-6 for these larger models. Far more befitting of a midsize/full-size luxury driving experience.
    29
  44. I’ve got a manual one of these 3 hatches with the base 2.5, and I thought about one of these Turbo models but decided against it for a couple reasons. As you said in your last 3 Turbo review, manual is definitely more fun and it’s also important to support the manual new nowadays. But also, as aware as I am that Mazda’s a small automaker with limited resources, I do think they missed an opportunity here to make this more of a hotter hatch. That’s not to say I wish it was a Veloster N/Civic Type R kind of rival. I think this could have been a great, say, AWD Japanese GTI in the balance between luxury/comfort amenities and driving enjoyment. This leans a little too much toward the former for me. And think about what happened the last time Mazda offered a quality, reliable, Japanese interpretation of a fun, sporty European icon. That recipe sound familiar???😏 I really think that could have been a hit for them, and I confess myself a little bit sad at this premium comfort/luxury angle Mazda’s taking and all the edges they’re smoothing over. We’ll see how it works out for them ultimately, though.

  46. 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.

  48. 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.
    25
  49. Honestly, with how aggressive these M models are, I’d personally rather just get an M60i version and tune it for full M power levels. But obviously that comes with its own pros and cons. Alpina versions of the X5 or X6 would be really cool to see imho
    25

  51. I’ve always thought this car gets a harder time than it deserves. Looks are a great balance between being distinctively Infiniti and still somewhat conservative and not begging for clicks, and I don’t take as much offense to the interior, especially the tech/infotainment as some people do. Love that the twin turbo V6 is standard unlike LITERALLY EVERY OTHER ENTRY in this segment (except the Model 3 ofc), but just wish the driving dynamics could be a little more dialed in. I appreciate that it’s not as clinical and perfectly sharp as the German choices in this segment, but a little more feedback to the inputs would be awesome. Wish Infiniti had the courage and balls to be more of a “different, niche” option in this segment, but alas, Infiniti wants every sale it can get, I guess.
    24
  52. Topher hitting milestones! Congratulations! You deserve it! Is it just me, tho, or does every car youtuber and their mom have a BRZ or 86 now? Lmao this is the 4th I’ve seen (Evan Shanks, Jack from savagegeese, Everyday Driver, and now Topher), and I’m sure there are more beyond that.
    24
  53. 15:35 That’s still me at 22😂 I’ve actually met quite a few car people on bike rides around here.
    23
  54. Ah yes - the car that started it all for me. A cool neighbor let me sit in his 996 (just a C4S, though) when I was like 5 years old and the rest is history! Love how Porsche knows exactly what the 911 is and evolves it so carefully to stay true to that mission, even if that means going against the grain of the rest of the market. The kinda approach that keeps me coming back to it even 15 years after that first encounter. Just the fact that you can still get a manual on the S versions in 2021 is something to celebrate. That’d be my personal choice in the 911 lineup, but these Turbos are wicked, for sure.
    22
  55. The whole “M” treatment just seems lost on this. I’d skip this version and just go for an eDrive40. Plenty for a daily driver, I’m sure.
    22
  56. One of the only cars I can recall in recent memory that’s so compelling to drive that the infotainment is the last thing mentioned when being reviewed, and most people are like, “yeah it’s not great or best in class, but the rest of the car is so compelling.” That says a lot in 2022 with how tech-centric the automotive market is getting.
    21
  57. 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?

  59. Thank you for actually providing a more holistic evaluation of this car instead of just roasting the range like so many have. There’s still a lot to like here and a lot Mazda has done well, even if many would like the range to be longer. Let’s see what the rotary plug-in hybrid version has to offer. I think that’ll really be where this car starts to make sense.
    20
  60. The 3rd gen 3 was one of the cars I think of as foundational to my automotive passion to be honest. I was smitten at how good it looked, and it was honestly thrilling just to read about what a hero of a driver it was in all the magazines and websites. It was amazing to me that a small, yet might company like Mazda that had just gone independent could engineer such a brilliant-to-drive compact car that looked like a million bucks and had a segment-top interior and yet price it competitively with the competition when Toyota and Honda had been phoning in the Corolla and Civic. Fast forward to when the fourth gen came out, and I was looking for a fun stick shift compact (not necessarily hot) hatch. I ultimately decided on a manual NA FWD version of one of these 4th gen hatches, even though it isn’t quite the driver the 3rd gen was. I wanted something NA instead of, say, a Civic or a Hyundai/Kia with a 1.5/1.6T, and I preferred this overall to a Corolla hatch (for primarily interior and torquiness of the 2.5 vs. the Toyota 2.0). Though I’ve been very happy with it, don’t get me wrong, I’m a little saddened at this whole premium/luxury shift happening with Mazda, and that was the primary reason I decided against a Turbo hatch. If I wanted something with this much power, I’d just get a hot hatch personally, and as aware as I am that Mazda’s a small company with limited resources, I do think they missed an opportunity here to make this a hotter hatch. That’s not to say I think this needs to rival, say, the Veloster N and Civic Type R, but I think this could have been an amazing AWD Japanese GTI. And here’s why I say that - think about what happened last time Mazda offered a quality, reliable, Japanese interpretation of a fun, sporty, European icon. That recipe sound familiar??? Sure, that was 30 years ago now, but with how controversial the Mk8 GTI has been, I still think that really could have been a hit. And I think Mazda is putting a little too much pressure on themselves to grow up to be honest. They can have the luxurious, premium amenities AND the fun, sporty character AT THE SAME TIME! It’s been done before (that’s the whole thesis statement of the GTI, is it not?), and I think they could have achieved that balance in a little bit more of an enthusiast-friendly way with these Turbo 3’s. But then again, there are aftermarket companies like Corksport up here in the PNW that can help with that, if that’s what you’re after. Let’s see what the RWD models bring. Ok thanks for coming to my Mazda owner TedTalk.

  61. Last I checked, we don’t drive on paper! Totally with you that - specs never tell the whole story!
    17
  62. Great to see some Alpina love on TheTopher! We need Alpina versions of the current 5 and 8 Series in the US!😭 As purely a daily driver, I’d rock any Alpina model over the corresponding M model any day of the week! So much better suited to daily driving on public roads.
    16
  63. 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
  64. Appreciate the traditional and conservative exterior looks, but Mercedes is losing me with these new interiors. The center/passenger screens don’t bother me as much as the LCD gauge clusters, which look so lazily and cheaply integrated and just like an afterthought that got tacked on at the very end. Even just a proper dash cutout for the same screen would go a long way to make the interior feel so much more cohesive. More physical controls would also be a welcome change.
    16
  65. Our neighbors across the street growing up had one of these and 2 E Class wagons. Exquisite taste they had.
    15
  66. You guys picked this one just for me, didn’t you?😜 It’s hilarious to watch these launch on a drag strip, especially with power mods because you can literally see the wheel hop from the side lmao
    14
  67. Being the weird kid I was, I convinced my dad to trade his E39 540 in for a Camry Hybrid. I regret it every day😭 I actually learned stick tho on an E53 X5! My mom got it one day during summer 2020 when our neighbors were moving to teach my bro and I stick and I took it to college my senior year! To its credit, it made it flawlessly 900 miles from San Francisco, CA to Spokane, WA with 109k on it. It ALMOST lasted me the whole year until it leaked coolant on me at 112k💀 Miss that thing tho and I definitely wanna own one again at some point.
    14
  68. Happy Tedward is the best Tedward 🥰 More road trips please!

  69. I bet the marketing team tuned that throttle. So many automakers are caught up in chasing these false pretensions of sportiness with oversensitive throttle pedals, needlessly stiff suspensions, steering that’s too quick, etc etc. Just make it enjoyable to drive and make it perform its intended function well!🤦🏼‍♂️
    12
  70. 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?

  71. Sir Tedward His Royal Highness🤴🏼🇬🇧
    11
  72. Yes still here hahaha. It was a Porsche that started it all for me too! Neighbor across the street had a 996 4S that he let me sit in and the rest is history! As overused a word in most car reviews as it is, “solid” is definitely an apt descriptor for a Macan. Love that Porsche sweats the driving dynamics like no one else.
    11
  73. HEY THAT’S MY CAR! I’ve been super happy with mine over 3.5 years and 50k miles. It has its cons and shortcomings for sure, but none have been overly annoying to me and it’s fit me so well and better than anything else in this segment would. Sure, there’s less space than, say, a Civic hatch, but I’ve fit my bike in the back with the front wheel off and the back seats down, and the only person I’ve driven who hasn’t fit in the back seats is my 6’3” dad. Love that they’ve kept this as a different and off-the-beaten-path choice in this segment, and though I do think it appeals to a very thinly sliced niche of the market who appreciates Mazda’s way of doing things and can live with the Mazda idiosyncrasies like the click-wheel infotainment and driving-info-only gauge cluster (both of which I actually appreciate a lot), if you fit in that niche, there’s nothing else quite like it.

  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

  77. Lmaoooo. E36’s are hard to beat. I’d also say older Civic Si’s. Manual V6 Accords too.
    9
  78. Been fun watching this car on the channel! Personally, of the possible next vehicles you listed out, I’m rooting for an RC F or a 1LE Camaro. There are already plentyyyyyy of people doing stuff with Broncos and Model 3’s imo. Can’t think of anyone off the top of my head who’s done much content on an RC F, and Chevy could certainly use some sales help with the Camaro lol. And both are NA V8 - last of their kind! Whatever you ultimately decide tho, can’t wait to see what you do with it.
    9
  79. If I got a Miata and needed a more practical daily driver, this would honestly be one of the top contenders. Especially with the lease deals going on these.

  80. Congrats, Uncle Tedward! 🥰 And hope the Lexus dealer makes it right and takes proper care of you!

  86. Green on green on green! You guys might as well call this Will Long spec🤤 A personal anecdote as to how I’ve come to look at Genesis models. One of the earliest and most formative moments of my budding car enthusiasm came when I was 12-13ish years old and I watched Alex on Autos review the previous gen Hyundai Genesis (before it became the Genesis G80) and the Kia K900. Alex had (and still does, but not as strongly now imo) such a value-oriented view of cars, EVEN IN segments like the midsize luxury segment, and he came away so impressed first and foremost by the value proposition and case for themselves that those cars offered in the market. I specifically remember him ending the Hyundai Genesis review by saying that “I know that brand is a big deal in the luxury segment, but it just isn’t for me, and this would be my personal choice in this segment because of the features, functions, looks, etc. etc. of the car” and ending the K900 review with the question of “Why are you buying a luxury car? Because it’s $90,000 and has a Lexus badge? Or because of the way it coddles you and your passengers, the way it handles and the way it accelerates?” He genuinely encouraged shoppers to ask themselves how much the brand was worth to them. He was probably one of the very, very, very, very, very few people offered that kind perspective on those vehicles, and little did 12 year old me know how much of anything about the the “average luxury car buyer’s” shopping habits, but it made so much pure logical sense to me to judge the merits and qualities of the car and not the badge. And even if he was the only person on the entire planet to review those cars the way he did, I will be eternally grateful for those videos for teaching me to simply not care about the brand and to just judge the car.

  87. I’ll give Mitsubishi this - I’d have one of these over a Rogue (or a base Escape or Equinox) for the NA 4 banger alone
    7
  88. Wait this literally just hit me. VW did the whole capacitive-touch-everything, no-buttons interior and downgraded the interior materials for cost cutting, yet the Mk8 is MORE EXPENSIVE than the Mk7/7.5??? I guess they’re just tryna buffer their profit margin smh.
    7
  89. 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
  90. Cool getting to learn more about you and your journey to TheTopher/WR/DM! Funnily enough, even being in grad school for engineering now, I still have a lot of interest in getting into automotive YouTube/content creation, and sometimes I wish I had just gotten onto that path from the beginning lol. I could definitely see myself contributing to a channel like Daily Motor or something in the future. Probably on the side to start out and if I don’t end up liking engineering then try to make it full time. Love the Stinger GT, too. Super cool car. As much as I try to stay above discussions of brand stigma, image issues, stereotypes of cars and buyers, etc personally, there’s something to be said for the fact that it’s an insider’s choice and shows you’re an intelligent buyer. I’ve seen quite a few of ‘em at car meets and supposedly they actually respond really well to mods. People push GT’s to like 500 hp on stock internals, and some of the exhausts low key make them sound like Ghiblis. Pretty wild stuff, and definitely hope people keep buying them new so Kia keeps making them!

  91. One of those models that embodies the classic Toyota philosophy - simple and conservative aesthetics, spacious and usable ergonomic interior with physical controls, tried and true indestructible powertrain, and comfortable driving dynamics with no regard for sportiness. Refreshing to be honest considering how many SUV’s these days feel so pressured to project sporty/techy sex appeal for marketing purposes. I think maybe Toyota is starting to realize the value and appeal in that approach given newer models like the Venza and the Corolla Cross that embody a similar approach (minus the offroad ability)
    7
  92. 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.
    7
  93. On the seventh day of Christmas, my Tedward gave to me 7 GLS’s 6 Equinoxes 5 GX’s 4 Grenadiers 3 M5’s 2 Karmann Ghias And a 250 in a pear tree
    7
  94. Topher Fridays!😍 Been biking down my local auto row a lot recently and I was talking Miatas with the Mazda sales manager and he was so nice he even gave me his card and offered me a test drive! What a homie lol. Think I’ll have to take that up pretty soon here.

  95.  @TedwardDrives  YOU’VE RUINED MY CHRISTMAS! 😢😢 Jk jk, glad you took some time for you. And 9’s my lucky number anyway 😊

  96. Beach boys! 🏖️ Love all the vibes here! More coastal content, please!

  97. Good to see Ford’s made some worthwhile improvements here. The launch of this gen Explorer had lots of issues from what I remember. I’ve also got to say - I think you’ve developed a remarkable and difficult-to-hone quality as a car reviewer. I think it’s very easy for such an “everyday,” “average buyer” perspective of review to come across as shallow or superficial or lacking in depth, but you manage to do it in a way that incorporates plenty of expertise of the industry and segments of the market that provides a lot of valuable supporting analysis of your thoughts. Some reviewers I feel like swing to opposite sides of this pendulum, but you’re in a very nice spot in the middle that makes the videos very enjoyable to watch, just as much for everyday shoppers as for nerds like us lol

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

  99. 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
  100. I like how these still have an off-the-beaten-path, insider’s-choice sort of appeal in this segment. In my personal top 3 overall, though I’ll take one in green with the white interior, pls
    6
  101. Honestly I feel like the M40i would be plenty for a fun daily driver SUV. The full-on M just seems silly, and I’d probably go for an X3, too. If I really wanted something this fast, I think I’d rather have a Macan Turbo or a Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Also, minor point but I like how this has BMW’s original digital gauges and not the weird live cockpit.
    6
  102. 19:13 is my absolute all-time favorite moment in Daily Motor history. Have literally replayed it over and over again just to crack up at Chris’s reaction 😂😂
    5
  103. I do feel for both Nissan and Infiniti and the tough position they’re in right now. They’ve got to make lemonade with the lemons they have and while a lot of their offerings are perfectly competent, competition’s stiff nowadays and a par-for-the-segment entry won’t necessarily cut it, especially in higher end trim levels. I agree that the lower to mid-level trims are probably the optimal value zone
    5
  104. Love the interior design of this and I like that they actually attempted to make the screens look interesting and unique as opposed to just one big slab. NA V8 is much appreciated also. Totally fair points on the critiques, but at least some seem like things that can be addressed within the product life cycle.

  105. Charlie be like, “She’s a 10 but her new 2022 XC60’s sound system doesn’t have a 5- or 9-band equalizer or a 3.5 mm auxiliary input jack”

  106. Honestly for having been through what shes has she’s in not too bad of shape! A testament how how well-built those older S Classes are! Looking forward to content on that E46 back there👀

  107. This >>> new SL

  108. Mama Topher has excellent taste! Would love to see her make a video appearance one day!

  109. 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.

  110. 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
  111. 12:20 YES CHRIS! Appreciate you catching yourself. And that’s actually a hint for what that YouTube series idea I mentioned in that podcast comment would be ;)
    5
  112. Tedward Air - 1 J/gK, Water - 4.18 J/gK I swear I didn’t just google that
    5
  113. JLR should offer some kinda heritage/retro design edition on the new ones that mimics this look. Maybe through SVO or something
    4
  114. 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!

  115. 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!

  116. 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!

  120. Honestly, what I wish Audi would do is make a detuned version of this 5 cyl engine standard (or one rung up the ladder from the base engine) in the A4, A5, Q5, and A6. Think about it. LITERALLY EVERY ENTRY in those segments (except for maybe a couple) comes standard with a two🥱liter🥱turbocharged🥱four🥱cylinder🥱with🥱250🥱hp🥱and🥱270🥱lb-ft🥱of🥱torque. A standard or near-standard but still affordable 5 cylinder option would be an easy, instant way to stand out from the competition, especially before the EV wave fully crashes, and I think it could blunt a lot of the criticism of Audi’s being cold and sterile-feeling from a driving perspective. Maybe even do a reverse-staggered tire setup like the RS3 and play up that kind of handling characteristic, just without being as hard core. Not holding my breath at all that Audi will go this way, but it’d be super cool to see.
    4
  121. On the whole plug-in hybrid topic, I’d wager there are at least a few folks out there who might enjoy the “game” aspect of plug-in hybrid ownership, however small that population might be. My aunt who has a T8 XC90 is a good example. She’ll do all her around-town errands in EV-only mode, but my cousins go to school pretty far away, so she’ll use the hybrid mode to do that stuff. She’s into the whole “plan your driving” aspect, and I think the whole “game” thing could be a cool way to get people into PHEV’s. Though I understand the whole “don’t-even-wanna-think-about-it” argument at the same time, don’t get me wrong.
    4
  122. Fun fact: back when my dad had an E39 540i, I convinced him to trade it in for a 2007 Camry hybrid. Regret it every day, even if it lasted us 170k flawless miles

  123. Omg the two tone exterior on this goes hard
    4
  124. Wow. This thing makes the 992 look like an S Class Coupe by comparison😳
    4
  125. 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!

  126. 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!

  127. But those gated shifters tho🤤🤤

  128. 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!

  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.
    3
  133. 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
  134. 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.

  135. Lots of quality uterist observations in this review

  136. Missing those roads rn! Also that’s an ideal 3 car garage right there

  139. Fun fact - when Honda had EX and EX-L trim levels, the L in EX-L actually stood for leather, in that it was an EX with leather (and a couple other bits and bobs). At least they had the sense to not call it the EX Leather.

  140. OTHER LISTENERS?! WHAT?! I thought you guys tailor made this podcast just for me!😭😭

  141. 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.

  142. I feel you on the draw of CA. There are programs I could pursue through work where I could live there on rotation for like a year and honestly that’s so tempting just for the reason of SoCal car culture alone 😩

  143. I’ll take mine in Mamba Green with Beige/Chestnut full leather with acid green contrast stitching.

  145. Had one of the PHEV versions of these as a loaner while my 3 hatch was in for service and I liked it a lot! PHEV thing was cool and all but I was really curious the whole time what the I-6 versions are like. Road tripped it from Seattle to Portland and back and made for a great highway cruiser, and even hustled it a bit through some winding roads in the Oregon backcountry with some Miata friends who were very surprised how well I managed to hang with them! I just feel like making the case for the PHEV model with these is tricky (I only saw ~20 miles of real world EV only range, but did manage to average 30 mpg when I returned it…it’s still a big 3 row SUV lol), and I’d imagine the I-6 being the more befitting option for the car generally. Definitely want to get behind the wheel and try one at some point.

  146. 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
    3
  147. 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.
    3
  148. YESSSSSSSS been looking forward to this one! What an epic trip. This one goes in the Tedward hall of fame.

  150. 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
  151. 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

  152. Tedward Undercover👮🏼‍♂️🤫🚨

  153. We had one of these at the VA out motorsports rally (auto 500, though), and the guy who drove it came with the hardtop on and took it off and rolled it into the hotel on a luggage dolly! Just car gay things lolol

  154. Ugh how dare the butler not hand you your seatbelt! Unacceptable! Honestly quarantine has made me as much of a bike guy as a car guy. If it wasn’t for my dad’s old Trek I’d be going crazy.

  155. Tedward going commando 😮

  156. Also, I’m definitely rooting for a rallycross build! That’ll really set you apart from the 27 other YouTubers who have one of these haha.

  157. Toter tot go vroom vroom 🚛🚙

  158. I think there’s a place for this in its segment and they’ve done a lot of the fundamentals well, though your points of criticism are astutely observed and well-taken. At least most of them seem like they’re midcycle refreshable, like the some of the infotainment issues. Maybe they can add some more of the features competitors in this class have and carve out some more interior storage space further into its product lifecycle.

  163. È più divertente guidare un’auto lenta veloce che guidare un’auto veloce lenta (🇮🇹) It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow (🇺🇸)

  164. 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
  165. 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!

  166. My parents had one of these aaaaaaaages ago omg. Mighta been a 560 tho. I think they sold it when I was 4 or 5 years old. Fond memories though riding around in it.

  167. Mi piace La Giulietta! È molto bella machina! 🍝🇮🇹🍕

  168. I hadn’t even heard of this guy before this, but holy s**t what an a**hole. Just insane. If you f**k up then you gotta take responsibility for it like a big boy. 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.
    2
  169. Ugh I feel like I can smell this video through the screen
    2
  170. You guys actually gave me an idea for what my own personal automotive YouTube channel (or at least a segment or series of it) would be! Gonna keep it a secret, but wouldn’t have thought of it had it not been for the DM podcast!

  175. 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
  176. 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!

  180. 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!
    2
  181. But they didn’t tilt the gauges sideways though! 😡
    2
  182. Wow yeah I can tell what you mean about that diff when you're taking corners! How much power does the cobb stg 1 tune add?
    2
  183. On the topic of what to talk about in this series, maybe in addition to your earliest memories of cars, this is kinda sappy but why you love car culture and what car culture and the friends you’ve made through cars mean to you. What has it taught you about and how has it enriched your life?
    2
  184. I guess I'm watching APEX I on the plane ride home!

  186. I've totally been stuck in that place recently with job searching...I really should be trying to find something engineering-related to do right now. Gonna submit my resume to at least one place by the end of the day! The right vid at the right time! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see what you drive at the media event! PS I ship you and Chris so hard. I expect some objections at the wedding jk jk

  190. The door lock/unlock needs to be an optional Apple text tone. V8 would make for a pretty nice ringtone, too

  191. 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!
    2
  192. Find yourself a man who will fart like an F-Type at redline 😩

  193. I see you with those new camera angles! 👀
    2
  194. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure why this is, but high dollar sports cars and supercars have excited me less and less as I’ve grown up. The GT3 still intrigues me, though. It’s not just that it’s fast or even that it revs out of this world. It’s that it’s fun. It’s tactile. It’s involving. The driving experience is multi-dimensional, even in everyday situations on public roads. And that’s what it takes to capture my fascination. This is definitely very high on my dream garage list.

  196. Tedward Hell yeah that sounds like a riot! That’ll make such a great video

  197. YES MORE CYCLING! That reminds me, I still gotta clean my mountain bike lol. It’s just been sitting muddy af in my closet for weeks now. Not as much into weights/lifting tbh, but trying to hold myself to 4 swim practices a week. Had best practice attendance on the whole team the month of January!
    2
  198. Yessssssss been waiting for this one! I guess you could say it was meant to be that I’d be into cars considering my grandpa owned a Porsche 356 years and years and years ago, but I actually only learned that until quite recently.

  199. Damn! Tedward showin em how it's done! The way you were takin those corners was insane!

  200. Some real beauties in the Copart segment this week😍😍🤩🤩 I could definitely see you guys doing an EverydayDriver-esque series with beater American full-size sedans. Maybe add a Chrysler Concorde and a Lincoln LS in there. Also, in like 5-10 years this would be a interesting segment to do with a Hyundai Equus or a Kia K900 once they’ve really hit depreciation rock bottom.

  201. Ugh more AMG models need that kind of sound! I wish the GLE63 and GLS63 sounded like this. But it’s probably a byproduct of exhaust geometry. Shame you didn’t take this off-road with the Land Rover bois! Next time haha.

  202. Omg Karen😤🙄 Also wtf I wish I had a zoo in my hometown growing up😭😭

  204. Turo rented an ND2 for TOTD a few weeks ago and goddamn I want one so badly now 😭😭 Think I’ll wait for these to get onto the market used and come down in price a bit and save up in the meantime, though I’d probably go for a Grand Touring with the tan interior. Hope they pair it with Soul Red again like they did for some of the ND2’s.

  205. Are those Batman gloves genuine Lamborghini accessories?

  206. Interior looks delicious enough to eat 😋😛

  208. Ya know Charlie, you could also just say “buy, drive, burn” for the car version of “bang, marry, kill” lolol. TTAC had a series like that going for a while.

  209. 26:40 HELLO! Mazda3 Premium FWD hatch still comes with a manual! How could you guys forget that one?! 😭 Tho granted, hatch and probably slightly more $ than the Jetta you tested.

  210. No frunk and not even 800 miles of range. And I can’t even swipe to steer? A prehistoric dinosaur and a garbage hunk of crap. Why would anyone buy this?🤦🏼‍♂️

  211. This is now literally my favorite 2004 Honda Civic in the whole world

  212. Omg Tom imitating his squeaky M3 brakes needs to become a meme lol. Or my alarm in the morning. Or both.

  213. Fitting that when your image of that home page popped up, I read "January" as "laundry" the way its written over the speedo! New England Auto Show: home of all the dirty laundry lmao

  214. I’ve been browsing AutoTrader and Craigslist for E46 and E90/92 325s and 328s to get into after my 1st gen X5, and I gotta say...they’re quite tempting....
    1
  215. I mentioned this in the live drive, but this seems like one of those vehicles that doesn’t have anything overtly wrong with it, but is just kind of cursed by stiff competition in its segment. Lots to choose from in this area - X5, GLE, (S)Q7, MDX, QX60, RX(L), GV80, XC90, Aviator, XT6, the Grand Cherokee you cited frequently, etc. I think this’ll end up appealing to buyers who value the off-road capability or those who simply want something different in this segment.
    1
  216. 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!

  217. Previous gen CTS V/V-Sport. Full size would probably be Jag XJ (with an extendedass warranty)

  218. 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!

  220. Didn’t you say in a video a long time ago that it was a lil red fire truck that you’d ride around in as a kid? This is kinda the adult version of that!

  221. One of the world’s best V12s😍😛 I remember one of Chris Amos’s very first POV drives on Winding Road was a Vanquish. That drive got me hooked on binaural audio quality!

  224. No more no more no more no more

  225. 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.
    1
  226. ‘06 Rich! Still miss the 5-speed 3.0i I learned manual on sometimes. And especially curious what these V8 X5’s are like

  227. SAE Baja Car next please!!!!! This was so cool 😮

  228. Driving school with Tedward! I don’t even remember learning some of this😳 But now I know!

  229. Would love to hear your thoughts on the current gen Mazda3 in comparison! Need more Mazda content here on this channel!

  230. Disappointed there was no Charlie feeding Chris content in this one 😢

  231. Awwwww so fun to see how happy this made you 😊 Been developing such a thing for 350’s and 370’s lately. Could see one in my future tbh 👀

  232. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of the Tedward viewer/subscriber community, The day we’ve all been waiting for has come 🎄🎅🏻1️⃣2️⃣ On the twelfth day of Christmas, my Tedward gave to me 12 Lambo Countaches 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 Stay tuned for the SoundCloud debut coming soon!

  233. Tedward’s in the secret service now???

  234. Shoulda kept the sunglasses tbh. I think you could rock them. Also 21:40 was a near can opener bridge moment

  235. Belle voiture le 2CV Monssieur Tedouard 👨🏼🧐🇫🇷

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

  237. Frankenmuth! Isn’t that where Greta Van Fleet is from?!

  238. 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!🐸🐸

  239. It’s a 10 but the tach and speedo are right side up 😩

  243. Wow, very tastefully modified! If I were to get a VA WRX, this would be pretty much exactly what I’d go for (or maybe all the same power/exhaust/drivetrain/brake stuff but lift the suspension for off-roady fun…TheTopher’s lifted BRZ shenanigans rubbing off on me!). Having driven a few stock VA’s when I worked at a Subaru dealer for a few months, I’m really curious what a tuned one like this would be like.
    1
  244. Not lifted high enough. Needs to roll coal too. Dislike👎🏻
    1
  245. Intrigued by the steering wheel idea. Perhaps that’ll make me adjust hand sexiness ratings. Messaged Chris this on IG and forget where I first saw this, but someone made a whole entire professional film car out of an ML55…that could really take shooting of those DM reviews to the next level!😉

  246. Babe wake up the 2025 Civic Si embargo lifted

  247. 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🐤

  248.  @DailyMotor  HAHAHA This comment made my day😂😂 There’s a system to the grading scale, though, based on drivers. Max you’re getting is a 6.0😜
    1
  249. Ayyyyyyyye I got a DM podcast shoutout! I’d probably keep some edibles in that GM secret storage cubby and tell the cop like, “Oh it’s just a snack I swear. You want one?” And then they’d get high and let me off with a warning😉 Also, I will literally be Nate’s prime minister of his new fascist non-badge-dilution reign. I vibe with that rant so hard. In the words of James Engelsman of Throttle House, “my left nut is an AMG now.” It must be stopped.

  250. 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.
    1
  251. Very true what you said about not viewing other YouTubers as outright competitors. I mean...it’s not like people can only subscribe to one channel! They can subscribe to however many channels they want! All about connections, as with many domains of work.
    1
  252. 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!

  253. Karen should make an accusation of vehicular assault omg. Probably in the minority camp here, but more off-roading content would be sick! Ps you're fucking morons. Jk jk

  255. A/C is fine. Coincidentally submitted a job application to GM right before I started listening haha.

  256. So glad you made it out there! Can't wait to hear all your thoughts, especially on that M2 comp! Did you get to drive the new 3 series there?
    1
  257. 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.

  258. This is what SAE Baja Cars want to be when they grow up.

  259. I’d love to see Chevy bring back the Impala as an EV and really lean into the heritage of it tbh. Keep it as a big comfy full size sedan with styling that’s modern but harkens back to this
    1
  260. Wow it didn’t even catch fire! Jk jk. I can appreciate the Grand Cherokee L as a compelling entry in this segment, but I think this particular trim level makes no sense. Just get a Limited or an Overland if you really gotta have the 5.7. And while I like the physical interior controls and improved materials, I think Jeep’s next step should be stepping up the build quality along with that. Definitely the strongest of the American entries in this segment, but wouldn’t be my personal choice.

  261. The Boston tour I never got! I was supposed to go with Boy Scouts many years ago but sadly got sick right before we were scheduled to leave. Glad I get to live vicariously through you, though
