Comments by "Garbage" (@swanblake) on "Auto Buyers Guide | Alex on Autos" channel.

  1. Tesla got it right by going dealer less. I use to audit the Dealership state unions and holy corrupt. Dealerships are the worst.
    289
  2. I want a G70 so bad!
    233
  3. This makes the Lexus NX look like complete junk.
    161
  4. Alex I love this review by you! Nailed it! Love this vehicle! You get Lincoln Black Label service for free, BMW driving feel, class leading power, RWD, and great tech. I'd take this over all the competition. 2L turbo,with manual transmission and LSD would be my choice.
    132
  5. All I wanted Lexus to do was offer a manual transmission option on the 2L turbo. So happy Genesis G70 did. I just put a deposit down
    95
  6. Wow that Infiniti is gorgeous. Test drove the Q60 yesterday. Horrible steering and one wheel peels were the norm. Terrible driver. I cant believe that the G37 had an LSD but not for any Q50/Q60. Kia Stinger for me
    75
  7. Can we all agree that the 5 series GT is horribly ugly? Just terrible
    74
  8. The Palisade and Telluride are raising the standard for three row suvs. The value is incredible. Interior is gorgeous. Very impressed. Class leader by a lot
    73
  9. So elegant and bespoke inside and out. Gorgeous vehicle. Easily what I would buy in this segment. The interior looks like something out of a $100k plus car. Great driving as well with proper rwd bias dynamics. Definetly not a rebadged Rav4 cough.. Lexus. So impressed with the GV70. Best in class
    64
  10. I really want to see a drag race between this, a Subaru Crosstrek XV, and a Nissan Kicks. The first driver to fall asleep before hitting 60mph loses.
    56
  11. The warranty on the Outlander is a huge reason to get it over the Rogue. Surprised it wasn't posted in your bullet points for the comparison. Its what would have me going with the Outlander over the Rogue.
    54
  12. Love this design. Very beautiful and unique. Love the non boring german look. Good job Lexus
    53
  13. Happy Alex is back to doing affordable car reviews.....
    53
  14. Kia and Hyundai knocked it out of the park with these two SUVs. Very impressed
    46
  15. TFL are a bunch of idiots that don't know how to drive. I personally would not reference that video done by them as there were a lot of factors not car dependent.
    43
  16. I really wished your lived somewhere cold and we could see how badly the range is actually affected and real world
    43
  17. Kia hit a home run. This would be my choice in class. No CVT is huge in my book. Would not buy anything with a CVT. Great job Kia
    39
  18. The QX80 is much more appropriately priced dinosaur than this Toyota. That said, the Navigator is eailsy the best for the money
    37
  19. I'm amazed at how fast this is to 60mph given its basically 3 tons. Definelty not the point bit very respectful performance
    37
  20. I just watched a video on a van. Why? Alex, thats why.
    33
  21. Honestly you do the best reviews. Always learn something. Amazing job as always.
    33
  22. The Civic has really made everyone have to step there game up. I hate the civics styling but love what they did for the segment. A bit of me does wonder if the Civic would do even better with Elantra like styling. I know it would be in my garage
    32
  23. I usually am not a fan of Buick. That said, they did an outstanding job. They nailed a niche in this segment by being, powerful, roomy, and tech heavy. The MDX was my number one but the lack of any tech gives nod to the enclave.
    31
  24. favorite suv avalible. The fact that you can get a rwd V6 in this is amazing. A rare gem
    30
  25.  @alliejr  I would only buy a Tesla because of the lack of dealership. Stealerships offer zero value. A service center directly from the manufacture is perfect. Not John Baba dealership doing junk work for profit
    30
  26. Damn this looks good! Love the design and the lighting signatures front and back. Really love the direct buy online method too
    29
  27. Honestly alot of GM vehicles are quite bad. There pricing is crazy high even if they don't transact at msrp, I know a couple of people who see the msrp and just don't even consider it. GM has problems as a company, just like Ford. It's not that sedans don't sell. CAFE rules are very incomplete and not thought fully through.
    28
  28. Wow Subaru has become horribly bland and slow. Also the cockpit spy camera is a nice touch for selling your data to your insurance company.
    28
  29. I love This car. The fact that hid headlamps are standard are much appreciated. Would defiantly take this over and Volvo, Jaguar, BMW, Cadillac product. Well done Genesis!
    27
  30. I don't understand why you gave a car that gets below its EPA rating and behind the competitors fuel economy, a "B" rating? Seems very apologetic to Honda
    26
  31. So this was really just a review on the junk Infiniti infortainment. Eh. What a sad brand. Genesis has already taken there place with way better products. Infiniti specialty now is CVT junk or a clunky 7 speed auto. Infiniti needs to go away. No longer reliable and charming
    26
  32. Like the GLI so much more than the Mk8 GTI and its touch capacitive everything controls. An actual volume knob and seperate climate control knobs is a huge win. Also appreciate VW not doing piano black but rather a cool design with the red and black. Given the price raise in the new (same old) Civic SI, the lack of grunt/torque, and lost of adaptive suspension found in the SI, I would go GLI over it personally. Very well done VW
    25
  33. Great job Alex on comparing it to its biggest rival, the Acura RDX. Happy you went into great scintillating the two. No luxury car should have a CVT and that really hurts the engine here. The transmission and the engine never seem to be on the same page. Actual real work efficiency ends up being just average form the segnent. EPA numbers are never observed. Infiniti is a dead brand walking. Would not by any of Infiniti's dated offerings. Shame what Nissan/Infiniti have turned into.
    25
  34. Alex trying to kill off the manuals one video at a time. Not a fan.
    24
  35. Looks fantastic! I can't wait to start seeing these on the road. Very cool little truck that you don't need a ladder to get into the bed. Very impressed
    23
  36. I think it is also important to bring up Mitsubishi's incredible warranty coverage. It is the reason I would buy a Mitsubishi over a Nissan.
    23
  37. I am pleasantly surprised by this. I was really worried Toyota would not give America a fun version like it has done in the past. Very excited for this. Very curious on pricing but do love that they went with 18inch tires for some nice sidewall. The 30F 70R is what I would keep it in all the time and so happy they allow you to pick that
    22
  38. Appreciate the honesty of how you felt about the pre-refresh design as I fully agree with you. Still not a fan of the exterior or interior design on this refresh although I will recognize the interior is an improvement over the absolutely dreadful pre-refresh interior. I would say the interior is on par with the F150 which is progress for Chevy. I would still get a Ram as I think it's a much nicer offering although I do appreciate Chevy's many engine options.
    21
  39. Lincoln hit it out of the park with this. Kills the Cadillac XTbore in every category. Great job Lincoln. Verry impressed
    21
  40. This is from the days when Nissan built great car. Sad it will be replace by a boat MB suv replica
    20
  41. Love the insight. I accidentally did the KBB instant offer as well and fully agree its the worst of the worst dealerships contacting you nonstop. Vroom sounds like the way to go. Great job on this Alex. Looking forward to hearing how the Mach E sale goes
    20
  42. How is a Tesla Model 3 around $30k?! In what world?
    20
  43. Passport was so dissapointing. Agree
    20
  44. Seems overly confusing. Very unintuitive . Just give me a touch screen dual functionality. Horrible Carplay integration as far as the controls. Needs more work
    19
  45. Nothing premium or sporty about a CVT. Lost me with the CVT. Shame as the rest of the car is fine. This with an 8 speed AT automatic would be amazing. At $40k I'm getting a RWD Kia Stinger GT
    19
  46. Really nice car! Very impressed what Hyundai has done. It will be interesting to see what Honda does wth the Civic Type R and if its mostly carryover from the prior gen, how it stacks uo. That said I believe the Type R will be a sizable chunk of money more expensive than the N. Love that Hyundai keeps the N reasonably priced along with that warranty
    19
  47. Geez 29 degrees would be a summer day here in Wisconsin. Had negative 27 the other day. No active cooling is an instant deal breaker. Nissan just cuts too many corners nowadays to trust them. Would never buy
    18
  48. I'm shocked at how much an Avalon costs over a Camry. The $10k price premium is not worth it at all. Very much in the Lexus ES pricing wheelhouse. Do the Kia Stinger if you want a Sporty sedan or Lexus ES for comfort. The Avalon is not good at either yet costs the same. The TRD model not having awd with the V6 or at the very least a lsd is a miss.
    18
  49. A CVT, gutless powertrain, fake AWD and the worst user interface avalible. Would be completely acceptable as a CHR but not a Lexus in my opinion. Not Luxury
    17
  50. Oh I'd say this is overpriced by about $40k given the lack build quality and all those plastics
    16
  51. Outstanding job on this Alex. Really nailed the reasons why the Stinger is so impressive and unique. Definitely would take this over a Acura TLX or Toyota Avalon. Interior is beautiful and the the driving dynamics are great. Love that its a proper RWD four door. I wish Genesis would have followed Kia's move in offering the 2.5T engine as a base engine. You can't go wrong with either engine on the Stinger
    16
  52. Great insghts Alex. I always liked the WRX, but I really dislike this new one. Looks ugly and awkward. If I wanted a Crosstrek, I would buy a Crosstrek. A lot of cost cutting seen on this WRX. Hate that you can't get the adaptive suspension with the manual. Performance and CVT should never be in the same sentence together. I think the WRX marketing budget was much larger than the engineering department unfortunately
    16
  53. Would not buy anything with drum brakes in the rear or with a Nissan CVT. I'd go Honda Civic for $20k
    16
  54. For this class, I'd say the 1.6L turbo equipped Kona is the best in segment followed by the Volvo XC40 as the best in this segment for the luxury end
    16
  55. Now that they stripped 2021 VW models of the Dieselgate warranty I would avoid all there products like the plague. They cost cut everywhere and just aren't put together well (North America models). I mean they stopped that extended warranty because they realized how much it is going to cost them. Get a Telluride, Palisade, or even something like a Highlander Hybrid or Mazda CX9 if the third row size isn't a big ordeal. Just so many better options out there
    16
  56. I will say, The G/Q50,60 has in my opinion always been the best looking car in class. I still believe they are.
    15
  57. You literally copy and paste this response on every Genesis video. It's very obvious who you work for
    15
  58. Alot to like here. My Dad bought a 2017 SRT GC new and kept it for only 6 months. Said it was his biggest regret as far as purchasing it. So many issues. Build quality was abysmal. He said that is his last American vehicle after that. Felt really bad as I was the one that advised him to get it. FCA crap. My mom atthesame time got the Cherokee and that thing was in the shop all the time. They actually lemon pawed that one thankfully. Lesson learned. Avoid FCA
    15
  59. Genesis/Hyundai biggest weakness in my opinion is its awful dealerships. It's like a 90's GM dealer. I need to take a shower after going in. Fix this!
    14
  60. Absolutely love wagons and the E450. Love the neat touches for cargo and the suicide seats in the back. Reminds me of my youth in a Taurus Wagon. Dislike the touch capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and the shiny black plastic on the aheel looks cheap in my opinion. The wood looks great but would be upset the shade doesnt match. Wish there were more affordable options beside Subaru
    14
  61. To answer Alex's question at the end, I would shop Mustang, 370Z, Challenger, and 86. I like the visibility and price options in these. The Camaro is automatically disqualified for me sadly because GM designed a car without windows and a tall gauge cluster. I simply can't see out (through pillars and roof line) of the camaro with my torso height
    14
  62. The Civic Type R is hideous at best. Definetly not a car ypu want to look at without eye protection. Only 13 year old Honda fan boys drive them. I personally love the size and styling of the GTI and Golf R. Would definelty only get the manual transmission option though as it really brings the entertainment as the DSG is too clinical.
    14
  63. I wish Mini/BMW would have less models and use that money to make their core models more reliable. Shame
    14
  64. Honestly to me the Acura is amazing especially given the price point. Love the standard torque hectoring, display screens size, and led headlights. A great drive for a vehicle of this size. Would love to see this hybrid drivetrains in the RDX
    13
  65. Wish they would put this engine back into the FX
    13
  66. Love this car. Elegant inside and out. Tech that works and easy to use. Proper RWD based sedan. Love that interior. Beautiful job. Now just fix the stealership experience Kia. As far as resale, look at how poor Mercedes and BMW resale values are. It happens to all luxury brands regardless. Cadillac wishes it could build a car with this nice of quality with proper fit and finish
    13
  67. This is a great idea.
    13
  68. The way they decontented the SI and raised the price leaves me cold. Less hp, no heated seats, and no adaptive suspension is a huge miss. The new SI rides so harshly and isn't faster than the normal Civic. For $4k more (generally less given the way Honda dealers markup the SI) Id get the Elantra N which is significantly better in every way and a bargin. My advice is get the Sport hatch Civic for $25k or get the Elantra N for $32k. The Civic is a great car, but the SI trim males no sense to me.
    13
  69. The fact that there is nothing luxury about CVTs and FWD kills it in instantly. Fake AWD on this is ridiculous. Add to that no utility and the industries worst user interface with its touchpad and I have no idea what confused person buys this thing. Then there is the fact that this is one of the slowest "luxury" vehicle on sale in the States today. This is a Toyota, not a Lexus. Very dissapointed. XC40 is the choice here
    13
  70. I'm not crazy about EVs but I could see myself daily driving an Ioniq 5. Really a great car and love the quick charging rates. A little surprised to not see the Genesis GV70 not make the list especially when compared to a RDX
    13
  71. Just get a Fiesta and save $5k. In return you get a more up to date chassis, a better handler, faster,and better fuel efficiency than the Indian built Ecosport
    13
  72. ATS is so ancient in this segment. Cadillac should be embarrassed as Buicks have nicer interiors and a he'll of a lot better infotainment
    12
  73. This has easily the worst looking wood trim I've ever seen on a model. I've seen fake wood look much better. See Nissan Murano
    12
  74. Wow! This is stunning. Genesis is my favorite brand right now. Just keep hitting it out of the park with design and materials. I want one
    12
  75. Genesis G70 over this Cadilac. Especially if you wait for the updated G70. Currently you can get an AWD 3.3TT G70 in the upper thirty thousand range without even negotiating. The interior materials and quality are better than the CT4 thing and has more rear seat room.
    12
  76. Who are these people asking about the China made Buick Envision? Just no
    12
  77. Would love to see a breakdown of this 2.7L 4 cylinder vs Ford's 2.7L V6 ecoboost engine. V6 vs 4 cylinder but same displacements
    12
  78. Completely ruins the front for me.
    12
  79. Love your reviews. I've seen a bunch of A3 reviews but none mention the fact that the A3 engine is mounted differently than the A4. I find this quite interesting and never gave it thought until you mentioned it. Great facts and fresh perspective. I love learning things. Keep up the great reviews
    11
  80. The perfect size car. I wish there where more options in this segment. This is best in seg,ent in my opinion. Looks great as well
    11
  81. This car looks so stunning in person with such a presence. Love the wheels and the NA V8. I'd take this over everything in its class except the S Class which is saying a lot in my opinion as it costs literally double of the G90. Alex should not talk about style or what looks good. It's crazy to think this was only a "refresh" and not the best generation. Can't wait to see what they do next when looking at what they did with the G80 interior
    11
  82. CVT is not luxury. FWD is not luxury. This exhibits both. The poor AWD system still has front wheel spin. Wouldn't even look at this Nissan junk. Looks great but it's only skin deep. I'd go Mazda CX5 turbo over this
    11
  83. Best selling because its the cheapest new offering, not the best offering. I would go GV70 over this RDX all day. I do like the blue paint color though
    11
  84. No deal. Overly bland. Now horribly underpowered and poor ride dynamics. No idea Why you would buy this over the better competition
    11
  85. Yeah the Mazda 3 looks much nicer than the plastic Tupperware cladded CX30
    11
  86. All style, albeit ugly, and no substance. A glorified Mini, for a crazy price. I think the Volvo XC40, is better looking, better performing, and has a cheaper price.
    11
  87. Stunning. Sadly needs awd to sell in this brainwashed market. I'd take it over a Lexus AS even for the same price. Just much nicer tech, interior, exterior, lighting, and power delivery. The rear headroom is a worry.
    11
  88. Wow that interior is amazing! Love it. Very impressed. Would take this over a Cadillac,, Lexus,or Lincoln all day.
    11
  89. no idea why Cadilac never used the metal vents like in this Volvo. Just such a beautiful interior that is simple elegance. Cadilac take note.
    10
  90. Alex as always an amazing job! I truly appreciate the detail you get into and always learn something. Great work!
    10
  91. I think its important to remember the competitor to beat in this space is Tesla. That is why it is mentioned as a competitor. Alex is very honest. I think you might be a little sensitive or looking for something to dismiss an honest assessment.
    10
  92. Fully agree with Alex. I much prefer this more mature look with this gen of Civic. Looks great. I do agree with the honeycomb inside looking like a nightmare to clean.
    10
  93. Much better than the Rav4 Hybrid already in my mind. Real awd, faster, better tech, , better braking, ect This would be my pick
    10
  94. The saddest news is how bad the 2018 Accord looks. Toyota will definelty out do it in sales
    10
  95. I'd argue the Hyundai Pallisade and Kia Telluride blows the XT6 out of the water. GV80 is truly in another class about with Mercedes and BMW. Rwd based platform is never the same as the fwd Traverse platform.
    10
  96. Somewhat funny that even Mitsubishi has a better infotainment system interface than Lexus
    10
  97. Love what they have done with both the G80 and GV80. Beautiful design inside and out with proper rwd layout. I can't wait for the more affordable G70 update and GV70 coming out in a year or so. I appreciate that Genesis did it right with a rwd platform unlike Lexus, Cadillac, and Acura in this category. I am hoping this offering will challenge the competition to try harder. This GV80 would be my pick in this segment even over the X3 and GLE. Genesis now just needs to focus on making there dealerships like Lexus instead of like Mitsubishi. They need direct sales or better dealership owners.
    10
  98. carmelo jose yes, you are so wise and better than everyone
    10
  99. This is not a luxury car. When a Kia Sorento does everything betrrer than this, why buy Lexus? Hideous, no tech, malfunctioning info interface, slow, useless back seat, no brakes, ECT. Lexus is not who they use to be.
    10
  100. That has to be the worst interior on a $100k + vehicle i have ever seen. I understand most of it's buyers just want the badge, but it looks very dated and cheap inside. I am also very curious on the reliability of the V6TT engine compared to the outgoing V8. Reliability isn't a given on a new engine. Toyota/Lexus fanboys will like it though as they don't shop the competition anyways so ignorance is bliss.
    10
  101. love this vehicle and appreciate they put the 2.oL turbo instead of the 1.6L turbo. Kind of surprised at the 0-60 time though
    9
  102. Hey I'm just happy the welds aren't cracked her on the frame. Always a plus. Also there is nothing fast about a V6 gladiator
    9
  103. Steve Wise $300 for Apple Carp.ay is just insulting
    9
  104. Simply stunning. Gorgeous exterior and interior. I'd easily take this over the cold 5 Series and E Class. I also love the red turn signals and the invisible sensor plate upfront that doesn't create a system that takes away visibility in the cabin like Volvo/Greely system. Genesis nailed it. Shame you couldn't drive it for registration reasons.
    9
  105. Hernán Álvarez Torres it was so slow it didn't arrive in time.
    9
  106. Honda Civic hatch for the as tested price of the Kicks makes more sense to me.
    9
  107. The new Sonata has nicer interior. The interior is still the Achilles heel for Cadillac. Hate the cheap looking center air vents that are larger than the display. Exterior is very bland and ugly. I loved the way the prior CTS looked but this is a step backwards.
    9
  108. A supercharged and turbocharged 4 cylinder that is mated to the front wheels is not luxury. If that were the case then I'd argue a Mazda 6 is a luxury car. Modern Volvos look amazing but it's beauty is only skin deep.
    9
  109. Steve Nagy its even more boring with a dct. Manual brings engagement to the car
    9
  110. Earl Painter the new VW Jetta is super ugly but the Civic has all beat in the ugly department
    9
  111. I wonder what's more reliable, the 500X or Countryman? I actually think the 500X
    9
  112. Cheaping out in the wrong area. No idea why you would get the 2L Turbo
    9
  113.  @trent7080  its called the truth. Look at every other comment on here. Thanks for singling me out.
    9
  114. such an ugly front end. Angry catfish
    8
  115. ocramidajzj I feel sorry for you. Clearly need justification for buying a FWD Mazda that doesn't even have Android Auto.
    8
  116. GLI is more mature while the GTI is what ex Subaru bros drive.
    8
  117. Great, honest take Alex. Very well done review. Compromised SUV with a bad powertrain combo. CVT with that engine just makes the engine feel like it has to think about what it is doing for a second or two. With an eight speed auto would fix this and make it feel like a luxury car.
    8
  118. Love the Durango! Especially this latest update with the beautiful interior (composite carbon). I would go Durango over a truck. The 6.4L is a gem. Trucks are so tired. Everyone has a Ram 1500 or F150. Congrats Alex!!
    8
  119. Would not buy anything with that horrible 9 speed. Reason why my mom got rid of hers. I drove it and it was horrible. I will say everything else about the vehicle was amazing. Uconnect is the best and the interior on up trims is pure luxury in my opinion
    8
  120. I'd still rather have the peppy Honda's than the boring Toyota's
    8
  121. Shame this weighs more than the Kicks. Really needs a little more power and it would be just okay. I'd save for a car a class up personally or get the more reliable Kia Rio with its great warranty
    8
  122. This is a step backwards for Kia. Slow, torsion beam rear suspension, no leather, and now with an awful CVT. Just no. Bottom of class and its a new vehicle. First Kia I've disliked. Hope this isn't a trend as they also ruined the Elantra by now making it look like a deformed Jetta.
    8
  123. What do they put in your water? Is that straight outof their PR pamphlet?
    8
  124. Gus Johnson have you seen the looks of the Malibu I mean SS? Pass
    8
  125. Junior Lexus happy you are unbias and don't have Lexus in you screen name. Tool
    8
  126. Very impressed by Mazda iin this. Wished I could fit in it but fantastic car none the less
    8
  127. Alex on Autos Well you seem to always find a way to make things interesting so i will always watch. Best reviewer by far my friend. love your work....even on vans
    7
  128. would he amazing with a manual transmission option and better infotainment
    7
  129. BigHeadClan where have you been all my life?! I've been saying this since day one and everyone hates on my idea. Fully support this and wish it had the same level of hardware equipment as the G35/G37. Completely agree. This is currently showing Nissan cost cutting. They are committing the same sin that hurt Cadillac. They are not providing for their hardcore faithful customers who want a reliable BMW or yesteryear. I loved my G37 manual. How a 287hp car gets an LSD but a 400hp car doesn't blows my mind. I only buy manual as I love the connection. Losing a tenth of a second is fine by me. I want a manual
    7
  130. wait wait wait, this is a brand new model in 2017 and it has a six speed auto? Wow
    7
  131. Really not a fan of the direction Mercedes took the C Class. It now has awkward outward proportions (especially from the side) and the glued on tablet interior looks cheap as oppose to the outgoing C class. Funny that a 3 Series 2.0L Turbo BMW with AWD is more efficient and faster than this hybrid C Class. I think the 3 Series and A4 interior looks more upscale than this new C Class. The C Class went from my favorite car in the class to my least favorite.
    7
  132. No mention of the Genesisi G70 3.3L TT?! Terrible. Yet you throw in your beloved Volvo. Typical
    7
  133. A step backwards for the GTI. Mk 7.5 GTI is better than this touch capacitive everything MK 8. Front looks super frumpy. Interior is so cheap and shows cutting everywhere. No interest in the Mk 8 GTI
    7
  134. Kia Stinger is just better than this Opel in everyway. RWD based is luxury. Not sure why Alex compares the Regal to the Lexus ES when the LaCrosse is the ES competitor. Maybe he is trying to throw the Regal a bone.
    7
  135. Agree. So much rework on the Explorer i wouldn't touch it. Volvo twin charged engine and tech are reliability nightmares. They literally just reboot at random times
    7
  136. I'd get the more attractive and plush K900 if it was me. No Android Auto is bad in 2019. Kia did a better job in my opinion on the interior.
    7
  137. Seems like a nice car. Power to weight ratio seems like it is its biggest issue. Im very curious how this compares to a less expensive uppdated Genesis G70 3.3TT. The G70 has a better power to weight ratio, but the Hype S seems to be praised more by the media for its track capabilities. I would go G70 personally.
    7
  138. Craig D yes and no. The issue more with Cadillac and Buick. Chevy has such bad switch gear, seeing it in a Buick or Cadillac is disappointing. VW components are such high quality, seeing it in an Audi is not a disservice. I mean VW has the virtual cockpit on its cars. Infiniti is worse than the Americans as Nissan switch gear is horrible and its in all Infiniti models.
    7
  139. These aren't even in the same class? This isn't a comparison in any useful way. The Rogue Sport was ancient and uncompetitive the day it launched.
    7
  140. Joe Pah you CRASH a Lexus trying to use the infotainment system
    7
  141. No lsd has me looking at the SI and GLI instead. Cost cutting not giving it a proper diff and it's annoying as they continue to do this for all 1.6L T. Alex hate on manual is gets old quickly. I dont understand why he reviews any fun cars as he just doesnt care. He doesnt enjoy driving enthusiastically. His reviews reflect this.
    7
  142. Isaac MacDonald its amazing how much easier driving is when people use there turn signals. I wish it was cracked down on more
    7
  143. Like most current Honda's, hideous styling but great performing. Would not want to be seen in something thismhideous and dorky looking
    7
  144. I'd be very interested in how this EV would work and it's range on this balmy -37 degree day here in the Midwest.
    7
  145. Really love this car. Huge fan of the size. The Civic is just huge now and I am not a fan. The Corolla has a great NA engine to boot. Really think Toyota nailed this. Just wished it had Android Auto but that's a very small gripe. I'm shocked that this is one of The few entries with IRS in its segment. Really top of class in my opinion given how expensive the Mazda 3 is and how ugly the Civic Is. Definelty would get the manual.
    7
  146. So much better than the glacial new Rav4. Oh it also has Android auto and looks amazing! Love the size as well.
    7
  147. Can you not add wider and gripper tires to literally every car tested Alex? I feel you are making excuses here for a choice Mazda make. How do you know putting wider tires on the Mazda won't male the handling "feel" you talk about, get worse? Put and Accord 2L turbo on PS4 tires and it will perform better
    7
  148. Savagegeese
    7
  149. I'd get a Civic and save money. Just wished the Civic looked like the insight. That said, I would get the Insight all day over the hideous Prius and eh Ionic. I like that the Insight still has some pep in its step
    7
  150. GM trash. Kia Telluride/Hyundai Palisade give you more luxury and amenities than this overpriced Traverse. Not to mention the shoddy build quality and lesser warranty
    7
  151. Same for every Toyota vs Lexus
    7
  152. Cannot wait for a Sonata review. Love chats are where you shine sir
    7
  153. The hatchbacks c pillar blond spot is awful. They literally shrunk all the windows. Then they went the cheap route and gave it a torsion beam rear suspension. Mazda going mainstream and thus less for driver's. Sad. If the new Veloster, Civic, and Corolla have IRS, Mazda is clearly cutting corners on what was a premium compact car.
    7
  154. I have zero attraction to this video game car. Way too many driving electronics . Speed is not everything. I find the Lexus GS F far more appealing. CTS V is a very close second. All about driving feel and engine sound
    7
  155. Edward P yout buying a car based on center console size? God there is no hope for cars with these idiot buyers
    7
  156. Weirdly I would choose the new 2017 LaCrosse which I never thought I would say. Just a better interior in the Buick
    6
  157. Seriously love how knowledgeable Alex is on all type of vehicles. I love learning from him
    6
  158. doesn't the mustang have sequential turn tail lights or is the Lexus doing something different to not qualify for US standards?
    6
  159. palebeachbum I disagree. I love the Genesis current design language
    6
  160. Stop supporting that joke of an outfit
    6
  161. Toyota is the largest automotive manufacturer in the world, they don't need BMW to build a Supra. They have more than enough money to make a sports car. They just don't care and don't want to. See the GR Yaris for when Toyota actually wants to try. You cant even roll sown a window when drivin this because of the wind buffeting issue. That's why I don't car about this "Supra" which is outdone by a better 2 series where actual engineering went into it.
    6
  162. Yet one feels fun to drive and RWD like while the other plows like a fwd truck. I'll let you figure out which is which
    6
  163. Alex sleeps on the G70/ Genesis brand and its a bit frustrating. Such an underrated car.
    6
  164. Who ever asked form the Buick Regal to be included needs to get there head checked. GM fan boys clearly. FWD pos
    6
  165. As Alex said, you really need to get this in the manual. Love this car. So impressed with its lightweight and attention to detail. This is the closest thing to a modern day Honda S2000. Love the newly revised 2L engine. My pick for this category, and I spoke with my money, was a 370Z Sport trim.
    6
  166. Why not just get an Avalon then and save money while getting a working tech interface?
    6
  167. Very well done Alex. I particularly loved the 0/10 front trunk score. Fully agree about one pedal driving. I really dislike the touch sensitive everything inside the cabin and wish for knobs and normal buttons.
    6
  168.  @thedriver5462  if a Kona can offer AWD and IRS, Mazda has no excuse. Also I the Type R absolutely has IRS. Only cost cutting cars have torsion beam. Hell the new Corolla and Veloster have IRS now
    6
  169. I much prefer the prior gen to this. Not attractive or special in any way like the first gen CLS. Reminds me too much of the A Class which isn't a compliment. Shame
    6
  170. Love this vehicle except for its coffin like visibility. Hard pass as visibility is a priority to me. Fatal flaw in my opinion. Amazing engineering brought down by GM design
    6
  171. Wish they had the option of the 6.4L Hemi on the 1500 and the ability to option a lower ride height so you can get in the bed easier and not need a ladder. This class has annoyingly lifted high ride heights. It would help loading, fuel economy, and handling.
    6
  172. What's the point of a car with huge proportions but terrible (rear) headroom? No wonder people buy SUVs. Also frustrating you have to pay an additional $3k (LX to EX) for Android Auto option on the Accord. Expensive
    6
  173. Definitely not the traditional fun Mazda For the price, I'd go RWD all day. If FWD is a requirement, 2L turbo Accord or Camry V6. Also Mazda dealerships are legit the worst
    6
  174. Alex really pushing those automatic transmissions hard.....
    6
  175. The Volvo XC60 is the only fwd based vehicle in this line up correct? Maybe why it has more room inside? I would actually think Alfa is more reliable than that ticking time bomb twin charge engine in the Volvo
    6
  176. Perfect size car. Just wish the Veloster turbo came with a LSD like the Civic SI. I don't want to pay $30k for a LSD on the N. Really wish Hyundai wouldn't have skimped on the Turbo model. Alot of cheap parts on here. Also heard alot of people have has bad rattles on new vehicles. Seems like a step backwards for Hyundai
    6
  177. Nope. CX5. Toyota is good for those that blindly buy anything Toyota
    6
  178. $50k plus for Chevy craptastic plastic everywhere, I'll pass. $2.9k for AWD is insulting
    6
  179. I miss the days when Buicks were actually built in North America. Enclave is it for locally built
    6
  180. I do love how Hyundai made a small car look so great. I never think of this as an eco box like the Ford fiesta which has the most metal I've seen on the rear fender to hatch ratio creating the illusions of a car on stilts. The Fiesta looks like an eco box and I would not buy, where as the VT has proper styling and proportions. Looks great
    6
  181. I think I would still go Genesis GV80 for this segment but would be interested in a comparison. Shame they didn't do a Type S for the RDX first. Not sure why they won't give specifications yet.
    6
  182. Very impressive vehicle. Love that its RWD based and a V8. Looks amazing inside as well. Definelty would be my choice
    6
  183. The warranty on the Santa Cruz would easily have me getting it over the Ford Maverick. Also Ford never does a good job on first year models as far as quality goes. I think you might be overestimating the hybrid in the Maverick as most truck/SUV buyers want awd and not fwd. I could be wrong but especially up here in the snow belt states, awd is a must on most shoppers list. I will say the all black/dark grey interior on the Santa Cruz is disappointing and a bit dreary. Makes it look cheap when it is in fact a nice quality interior. Maybe in an update Hyundai can add some more color to it
    6
  184. I don't care what Lexus does anymore. Genesis has stolen me as a customer.
    6
  185. RCBR or you could just dri e the vehicle?.........
    6
  186. I love the WRX. Great driving and a manual transmission fun. The rev hang is annoying but it works. My only complaint is the price creep. I also like that the interior has all the tech I would every want and its easy to use. No spying video recorder on your face judging you and sending your info to your insurance company like new Subaru vehicles. I am not looking forward to this car getting update
    6
  187. Tech Defender would love a rwd, manual wagon.
    5
  188. Alex I hate that throughout the video you mention the Mazda 3 hatch as competition but then at the end give it no comparison. Why?
    5
  189. DimachkaS it's the glasses with rosey cheeks. Gets me everytime
    5
  190. Really wish Volvo offered a 6 cylinder option as I am still not convinced at all that these dual charged engines will make it past 70K miles.
    5
  191. IceColdKilax agree. Way too much money for a fwd based driver
    5
  192. Its FCA so this'll have 20 recalls and parts failing in 6 months. Corner cutting is the FCA moto.Honda Odessey for me. I'll take reliability any day over this.
    5
  193. @Alex On Autos so I am a bit confused. The rear only has 87 hp but can send 200hp to the rear with no mechanical connection to the engine? If correct, how? Thank you
    5
  194. Typical Alex, picks the two outliers of each segment to compare. The only fwd based "luxury" car in the Volvo and the only RWD based mainstream suv.
    5
  195. This isn't their first effort and its quite horrible
    5
  196. Clearly fanboys make excuses for anything
    5
  197. Just get the CX 5 Turbo Carbon for the $31k or a CX5 GT Reserve for $35k. You get IRS, more cargo room, and no huge ugly black plastic body cladding. Cannot wait for Mazda to do a touch screen and an 8 speed automatic with proper gearing
    5
  198. Tully3674 BMW has horrible reliability so I would have the same reservations there as well
    5
  199. I dislike the front. They seemed to stretch it too far fender to fender. For the price its hard to hate on this car. It's a bland choice but competent
    5
  200. Very impressive, just hate the CVT only option. Still can't believe that a Sentra this nice has IRS yet the Mazda 3 couldn't
    5
  201. When are you reviewing the Genesis GV70? The GV80 is the segment leader in my mind. Not this Edge
    5
  202. G70. Proper rear wheel drive luxury. Not fwd based Geeky platform like a Volvo. G70 also has one of the easiest user interfaces. Volvo is the opposite. Warranty on G70 kills the unreliable Volvos minimal offering. Volvo only does 4 cylinder engines that have horrible NVH
    5
  203. The restyling tweak really do improve the looks. This is my pick of the class especially if you like driving. What's crazy is that with some decent 245 summer tires the performance numbers are even better
    5
  204. Love the green color and wheels. I would prefer the coupe format for the 8 Series though or just get the M5 Comp which has headroom. I would prefer the M8 brakes and paddle shifters over the Alpina version but like that it has a softer suspension
    5
  205. Alex I hope your finger gets better!
    5
  206. Cadillac CT4/CT5 V transmission/transmission tuning is dreadful. I couldn't recommend either. Base model I would pick for myself would be a leased Giulia or G70 with the 3.3TT if you can hangle it down in price to low $40k range
    5
  207. These "rugged" body plastic cladded vehicles are so played out. Only posers would buy them. Which means everyone. Great car for the physically challenged baby boomers. The new Scion
    5
  208. China special. Made in China, for China. There supposed most technology advanced vehicle in the plug in it, doesnt even have the ability of super cruise like the rest of the CT6 lineup. Literally all the competition is better. Maybe another coffee shop in New York will help them?
    5
  209. The turbo version should have gotten IRS like how Hyundai do it for the the Elantra Hybrid and N-Line. Make the screen a touch screen, throw in an eight speed auto gearbox, get rid of all the cheap shiny black plastic inside, and the Mazda 3 would actually be "Premium".
    5
  210. I dont get it? Why is this so uncompetitive. Rather have the Honda E and it's rwd over this stale and ugly Mini
    5
  211. Toyota parlayed this awful vehicle as a Lexus UX which is just furthuer adding insult to injury. Shame
    5
  212. Wow the Nexo interior is so Mich nicer than the Toyota and all that piano black plastic. Wasn't expecting that
    5
  213. Hate the turn signals down low in the front bumper. Can't see them. How is that legal? All the ugly plastic fender cladding really takes away from this design. Makes it look cheap
    5
  214.  @deerock8870  simply wrong. You have infinite adjustments to a CVT and just 8 gears in a modern transmission with two to tree overdrive. Drive a ZF 8 speed and learn a little.
    5
  215. bassandtrebleclef not the same platforms. No relation between the two. The Touareg is the VW equivalent
    5
  216. They are much nicer than Acura which is still priced 10k higher for an inferior product. The CX5 interior is nicer than the RDX and that's really there only competitive product.
    5
  217. Alex loves himself some Volvo
    5
  218. Who buys these pos JLR products? They literally can't work for longer than a year tops. Sister had to have one and was in the shop every other week for something malfunctioning. She sold it 7 months later. This was a 2018. He'll the loaner Evoque they have her broke down twice. Yikes.
    5
  219. Mark, great job at supporting the killing off of cars. Thank you for doing your part towards this horrible trend
    5
  220. Great job on this. Its hard to deny the G70 based on how good it's value proposition is with the 3.3TT. Genesis really dropped the ball with that awful 2.0T engine and not swapping in the 2.5T engine like the Stinger and GV70. I would take a RWD 3.3TT over all the competition when factoring in price/performance. Agree about the GV70 being a superior vehicle to the G70
    5
  221. Guilia is amazing but the reliability concern is why i passed. Even leasing seemed risky due to the time it takes to get parts from Italy. Heard some really bad nightmare experiences already. Hopefully they fix that.
    5
  222. Fwd and luxury is an oxymoron. No such thing. Cant believe Lexus still hasn't fixed its worst in class infotainment interface. I guess only old people buy these so it really doesn't matter but I would never consider an ES anything more than an Avalon
    5
  223. Really expensive and unimpressive. Really whoring out the ST name on this prior year Sport trim. Interior is quite dated looking and poor as well. Competition does it much better. Side note, I would take a Focus ST or Fiesta ST over this all day. Such a mistake Ford made.
    5
  224. David Young I agree. The manual makes the golf r engaging. Something it lacks greatly with the dct.
    5
  225. Alex outstanding job on this. I know you love yourself some SHAWD so I wasn't sure how this review would go but you did an excellent job capturing the pros and cons of the fwd based platform. I think someone in snowy territory would really benefit from the TLX with SHAWD. I personally want rwd dynamics in my sports sedan and would go with the upcoming G70 refresh because of that and it has a touchscreen. Really like that tidbit that they moved the turbo to the front of the engine for sound reasons. Wish Acura would not make the entire dash focus on a mode button though.
    5
  226. Ford Ecowhatever is just trash. Slower and less efficient than the Kona. Swinging rear tailgate just shows how lazy Fprd was to not even change it.
    5
  227. Needs a mechanical LSD to compete with the GTI/GLI and the Civic SI. The mechanics have been the same for generations/refreshes. At $27k the price has gone up.while the interior keps.getting discontented for the Sport/N Line trims
    5
  228. The 60-0 MPH braking score should just say "eventually". The economy score is incredibly generous
    5
  229. Im starting to realize that if I ever have to drive a modern automatic vehicle, I would not be able to figure out how to get it into reverse.
    5
  230.  @MrBangijal  but why pay so much more up front when there is a prius or Rav4 Hybrid that offer more utility and efficiency ? Not saying you are wrong but I just have a hard time seeing the logic of these buyers
    5
  231. Cant wait to see these rolling coal and clogging up the left lane of the expressway
    5
  232. So limited its not even worth the price. Hope your area is mapped
    5
  233. Alex should be happy, an automatic Mustang. Finally a Mustang he can actually drive. I'm sure he will still be upset there is no hybrid
    5
  234. Neat. A still dangerously slow CUV that is now even more expensive and has less cargo. Pass. Does the average commute of only 14 miles include those that work from home?
    5
  235. James Wisrik you meant "you're"
    4
  236. Love the looks of it. Really like the style
    4
  237. if only it wasnt soo slow. My mom test drove one and after not being able to accelerate to merge, walked away. I like the refresh but the engine needs an update and not a hybrid. Colder states and batteries do not go together
    4
  238. +Alex on Autos To me that is the thing that kills the NSX to me. It doesnt have character. Dont get me wrong, I could maybe afford to buy a civic so i am not the demographic for these cars. Just wish it had more personality like the original NSX with the V Tec intro into the industry. Btw i didnt realize it was mainly rwd bias. Great informative review as always. You never dissapoint. Great work my friend
    4
  239. Reko Sri because FCA is garbage if I'm being kind.
    4
  240. Alex completely agree on your picks. I would only have the MKZ ahead of the Cadenza if they made the Black Label standard on it so It topped out at $45k. That would be a steal. As is, the Cadenza interior is far greater than the Lincoln without the black label leather for far less. Cadenza for me
    4
  241. Peichen01 was going to post thesame. So overpriced . $54k just to get leather.....Insane
    4
  242. I have only heard of issues with the tech. Things dropping connection, compatibility issues, software glitches. Hopefully Ford fixes this quickly but it seems rushed as is. The forums haven't offered a solution to these issues yet sadly.
    4
  243. To bad the infotainment system is completely unusable when in motion because the stupid mouse like tracked is terrible. Why a $23k Camry has a manual etter infotainment system than your flagship luxury brands sedan, will always baffle me. The LS is such an amazing car. It's just a letdown as it could have been perfect with a touch screen
    4
  244. Honda Pilot all day. Better AWD system and more engaging
    4
  245. Fully agree with Alex. I like old much more. Great steering feedback, great manual shift action with no rev hang, power that makes you want to go to redline and not shortshift. Also love how lightweight Hondas were. Honda peaked in the 90s and the early 2000s. That said, I like the new SI very much and greatly appreciate that it has a mechanical LSD unlike Kia/Hyundai at this price point. I wish the SI still had the K24 engine like the prior gen but you can't win them all. I think Honda did a good job here considering the price. Just not as exciting and raw as the prior gens like, honestly all modern cars.
    4
  246. I'm very curious how the GLI compares to the Civic SI for about the same money
    4
  247. Horribly cheap interior and low quality. Hard pass
    4
  248. Id still take the RWD based x40i M over this. No replacement for the real longitudinally mounted engined vehicles with 100% of power to the rear whelels all the time. Dislike that they keep making this bigger and bigger. Shiney black plastics inside look horrid. Defiantly better than the QX50 and NX
    4
  249. Realtime Reviews its not a pickup. It can't tow. Period
    4
  250. FedoraMcGentlesir and that v8 sound 😍😍😍
    4
  251. jauffins no it's not actually. 0 to 60mph in 12.3 seconds is dangerously slow. Merging is impossible
    4
  252. This video brought to you by the state of California and the governments $7,500 rebate. Also liquid cooled vs air cooled battery is a huge difference. Nissan cheaped out
    4
  253. Really wished the Elantra Sport had an LSD like this. VW it is then. Hyundai lost me
    4
  254. Honda cannot make a good looking car even if they tried. Eww
    4
  255. Wow that brake score is bad. Was not expecting that
    4
  256. alliejr clearly you drive a Toyota CHR.....
    4
  257. Great review Alex. I don't see how you can go wrong between the Corolla, Civic, or Elantra. All are great cars. I would go Elantra N Line over the Corolla with the updated engine due to pricing. I will say, it doesn't sound like Alex has driven the Apex Corolla. I say this because anyome that has driven the Apex, knows its the harshest riding car you can buy today. The ruined the suspension on the Apex to feel worse than aftermarket Tein basic coilovers. Standard Corolla is a better car than the Apex. Not sure what Toyota was thinking.
    4
  258. I can tell you from personal experience neither is fun to drive because of the CVT taking its time to talk to the engine. Plus its fwd based unlike a BMW Genesis, ect
    4
  259. Jordan Catcher agree very much
    4
  260. In defense of the X7s price tag, the XC90 is woefully Under powered with that 4 cylinder and the Audi Q7 is a minivan boring. It as well is a snoozfest. Merceds, BMW, and Lincoln are the true kings of this segmemt
    4
  261. ms3er oh geez. You have awd. No wonder. Yeah you can't drive. My point is still valid. I'm talking rwd. Awd if for people who can't drive and don't understand what winter tires are. Now it makes sense. Sorry I thought you meant RWD. Awd is just Chuck it and let the computers figure it.out. there's a reason why all cars are going awd. No driver skill but alot of money.
    4
  262. Mike Gee closed mindedness will only get you so far in life. Your choice is to go traditional for the badge on the hood. I think you missing out on saving some cash for was better driving dynamics but totally your choice. My opinion and your opinion vary. Let's just be thankful we have options still in this category. I will say the G37 was one of my favorite cars and no Idea what Nissan is currently trying to say what Infiniti is as a brand. Definitely not the reliable BMW brand it once had.
    4
  263. Still fwd based and gets fwd spin in AWD guise. Just not luxury to me. Love the interior but hate the lack of buttons for climate control. Also have no idea why Alex is talking about the Regal wagon being American when it's a German vehicle (Opel) and also discontinued.
    4
  264. So expensive for a new 2014 Lexus ISF. Love the engine, hate the pricetag they will charge considering the actual performance. Gem of an engine though, no doubt
    4
  265. !I'd get the much nicer Kia Telluride or Hyundai Palisade over this and they cost less than the Highlander
    4
  266. FlyinGato Colorado by alot
    4
  267. Get a Grand Cherokee if you want off roading or get a Pilot if you want Honda. Passpprt is ppintless. The wheel gap to fender looks goofy. No one is taking this mom SUV off roading. Interior is dated as f thanks to the Pilot copy. This lazy effort I expected from GM but not Honda. Shameful
    4
  268. Pretty obvious why this doesnt sell. Useless third row, terrible tech, terrible user interface, terrible dealership experience, front seats are awful, and expensive. Also no one cares about sporty handling when buying a 3 row suv.
    4
  269. Too much ugly for any speed to overcome. Hideous
    4
  270. I would argue the Genesis GV80 out does everything this MDX does and has much nicer interior than the piano black Acura specialty. I know you don't like to mention Genesis when reviewing other luxury vehicles but its the elephant in the room.
    4
  271. jmasoncar s Toyota makes junk trucks. Have been for years. Try not to read all your truck reviews from Toyota.com
    4
  272.  @chigasaki06  same. I couldn't even put a deposit down on the G70 sport manual. Want it but they can't even get it in stock
    4
  273. The prior gen was released when info it I had exciting cars and was the reliable BMW alternative. This new one appears to be going mainly after fuel economy. I really miss the old Infiniti.
    4
  274. You can't knock the 2020 Civic SI for its HP/Tq ratings when its 300lbs-400lbs (2,906lbs vs 3,298lbs) lighter than th Jetta GLI. That is a significant weight differemce. I really dislike it when you paint your own picture with picking certain facts just because you love its DCT. Theres more to sport sedans than just horsepower
    4
  275. Too much car for that over worked 4 cylinder 2L
    4
  276. Lost me at CVT. Also Nissan needs to figure out that plastic chrome is tacky
    4
  277. Drum brakes on a 2019 model hahaha. Nissan found a way to get more money for a Versa. Deadly slow, deadly poor crash scores like the Juke, and a horrible CVT. Only the dumbest of people will buy this. Good way to identify them
    4
  278. Yeah the cargo box on top completely defeats the purpose of being more efficient. I don't understand how people are openly so unintelligent. Next you are going to tell us you drive a hybrid and tow an empty trailer behind you for cargo. Just no
    4
  279. His logic is terrible. He goes for the least sporty car, everytime he does a sporty car comparisons. He hates fun driving cars. He would much rather have an suv
    4
  280. You know if they wouldn't lift these poser trucks so high, you wouldn't need the woman step in the bumper or the running boards. Hate how lifted this class of trucks have become. People who actually use the bed would appreciate not a ridiculous ride height for the Bro dozer crowd
    4
  281. Not sure how Acura is on here but sure Acura RDX has no stand out feature or prowelness. The Volvo has an amazing interior and the Alfa is the best driving and fun to drive. RDX has the worst infotainment and interior. I guess it's here to keep the Honda fanboys happy
    4
  282. Honda Ridgeline will satisfy 98% of truck buyers actual needs
    4
  283. So we have a 6 Series, which is based off of the 5 Series, called an 8 Series, that also has 4 doors and called a coupe. Great job BMW naming convention
    4
  284. Um Toyota can't even be bothered to engineer its own cars. See Yaris iA, BRZ, and Supra.
    4
  285. Honda fanboys in full force in the comments. Hilarious to read.
    4
  286. Because the GV80 would smoke it. Alex never mentions Genesis when reviewing vehicles
    4
  287. I wouldn't want this fwd trash if it was a Toyota, let alone a "luxury" offering. CVT only, so slow, no touchscreen/track pad only is just bad. Very uncompetitive. I'd just wait for the Corolla Cross or even a Corolla hatch if you must have a Toyota
    4
  288. Absolutely love this car and the direction Genesis styling went. So elegant inside and out. The 3.5TT is impressive as well. This would be my pick in the segment.
    4
  289. You dont need AWD for a 2L turbo.
    4
  290. So true
    4
  291. Given its RWD and capable unlike the Highlander and MDX hybrid, I want to see it compared to the X5
    4
  292. I love that this has excellent braking distances and a functional tech interface unlike Lexus. Very impressive. No sure how you can say that new Lexus twin turbo engine is reliable when the forums say differently
    4
  293. That quarter mile speed tells you everything. Destroys any Tesla Model. Love it
    4
  294. Very true
    4
  295. Honda cant make a good looking car. I agree
    4
  296. I honestly think that Hyundai and Kia is the only manufacture wiping to take a risk and offer actually exciting, well thought put products. The Kicks, XV, and CHR were just lazy cash grabs with zero attempt to be class leading
    4
  297. A tank would be too fuel efficient for these tools.
    4
  298. Love the 2.5T engine in this. I would buy the Sorrento over the upcoming/current Sportage given its power and space. Very impressed. Love the colors inside as well. Interior, tech, and stopping distance is better than an MDX.
    4
  299. Much prefer the exterior on the prior gen model which I felt was one of the best loking SUVs on the road. The carryover powertains are disappointing when coupled with the big price increase this new GC has received. Interior looks nice for the top trim only. Even on the top trim, all the cheap piano black plastic used upfront takes away slightly from the look.
    4
  300.  Der Schwindel  even if its cheaper priced, the G70 has a superior interior with Napa leather, ect.. There is also a 10 year warranty that Cadillac dosent offer. Then there is the bigger rear seat in the G70 and the better/faster engine in the 3.3TT. Its okay though, we get that you are a GM fanboy. I also love that you up vote your own comments.
    4
  301. Stelvio does 60mph in 4.4 seconds? Car and driver got X40i at 60mph in 4.4 seconds while the Stelvio did it in 5.4 seconds. Not sure what you are making up with. 3 seconds but good try. Stelvio is also dimensionally much smaller but FCA fanboys seem to make up facts anyways https://www.caranddriver.com/alfa-romeo/stelvio https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2018-bmw-x3-m40i-test-review
    4
  302. Considering a normal Genesis G70 3.3TT outperforms this newer (race inspired) TLX Type S is very telling. For the price, I dont get the Type S at all when the competition does it better while being much more luxurious inside. In the case of G70 the Genesis, costs less money to boot. Plus that ten speed auto insurance the Acura is still far from a sporty transmission. Acura owners can't even claim the vehicles are reliable given all the tech and transmission woes.. Dissapointed in Acura given all the hype they put out there. Former Integra GSR, Integra Type R, and TL Type S owner here as well so I know what Acura was once capable of with a fwd based vehicle
    4
  303. This car would be so amazing with a manual transmission option.
    4
  304. I would go Genesis GV80 in this segment. If hybrid is a must I would go RX
    4
  305. You are so much betrer off getting the Mazda 3 hatchback, especially with the 2.5L. Ground clearance and actual driver's height is not that much greater than the 3 hatch. Other than America's obsession with AWD this has nothing to offer
    4
  306. What an unattractive interior. Couple that with thrill less driving, it's very boring and uninspiring. Sad. Kia Stinger for me as they actually made a fun car
    4
  307. Genesis GV70 is superior in every way honestly. Acura's interior is embarrassing to be called luxurious. Just look at all that piano black/low rent materials on that dash. Not to mention SHAWD isn't the second coming that Alex makes it out to be
    4
  308. Fully agree with Alex that the SX trim should be able to option some of the Prestige trims features. Wish all trims had the cool sognature lighting on them. The Carnival looks stunning. I love that it has a NA V6 and the interior as well. Solid offering to fight against the Pacifica which is also great
    4
  309. I would go Alfa as a lease. Mercedes styling always looks like balloon characters. Also the Stevio steering is amazing. Has much more character. I would personally prefer the sedans over an suv
    4
  310. Love the spec! Love the Durango SRT. Great choice
    4
  311. Alex really loves himself some twist beam rear suspension and CVT. I'll pass on all of his advice from now on. No LED or even HID headlights is kind of inexcusable in 2019
    4
  312. pedro fernandez it's terrible to drive but it's got awd! Yes!
    4
  313. Such a boring and dull design. Reminds me of buick in the early 2000's. Elder people special.
    3
  314. +Alex on Autos Agree i would not buy a vehicle for a gopro mount. A gimmick at best
    3
  315. Nicholas Williams the fact that you need a link to prove it's real wood just shows how bad the finish is. Real wood trim is generally vary obvious.
    3
  316. Alex i normally agree with you but one shopping for a civic si cannot afford a ilx. Honestly if i could afford an ilx i wouldnt take it due to the lack of manual and in general am not a fan of acura. At that price point of the ilx you could get a much nicer sports car. i know it wont be as luxurous well mayebe not as acuras terrible leather, but the civic si shopper generally is after an engaging and sporty car. So there extra money is likely to go after hp not terrible leather. thats my opinion at least
    3
  317. Just wish a manual was still an option. Perfect size car otherwise for my needs but will not buy an automatic. I know I'm in the minority but this car would be on my list if it had a manual. Looks great.
    3
  318. agree
    3
  319. oldtwins i was thinking the same. Their 3.5L V6 is one of the best. I miss it
    3
  320. After watching this great video comparison, it makes me vendors more appreciative of the MDX. Easily the pick out of all of these especially when looking at price. Now if Acura could just fix their infotainment it would be a slam dunk
    3
  321. Really love the interior on this. Very well done. Definetly better than the Accord
    3
  322. I'm not a GM guy but the Volt all day over this turd. I mean 25 miles ev range ?! terrible
    3
  323. Trades46 I agree. I would not purchase a car without HID or LED headlights for my family. I need the best night vision possible. Terrible commission by FCA in my book
    3
  324. shocked no mustang or camaro convertible comparison as I feel thise are closer competition in than a fwd 500 Abarth. Price wasn't a factor since the Z4 was thrown in. Puzzling
    3
  325. MURRAYsaysHI the Optima interior actually blows away all but the Audi and MB top trim interiors. I agree. Kia Optima SXL would be unstoppable if it had a little more power but overall bargain of the century
    3
  326. Isn't GM the first Chinese company to sell in the US? Confused. Buick Envision, CTS hybrid, ect.
    3
  327. Oh I wish Bangle would come back compared the this head designer's junk
    3
  328. Alex in his California bubble is annoyingly short sighted. So on a cold Wisconsin winter morning, I couldn't even get to work one way on EV power and then drive back with the extra weight making worse fuel economy as slower performance than the standard petrol. Hard pass. 16 miles in California is terrible range and you can't just blame the tires for the range right after you praise it for It's dynamics and handling which the tires create.
    3
  329. Drove both the DCT and manual version of the Belonged N. Much prefer the engagement of the manual and the suspension rides better than the DCT with higher spring rates. Alex again touting the DCT as the end all be all males sense for someone who isn't an enthusiast or lazy. DCT is only faster with launch control, not in the street/real world
    3
  330. @Alex on Autos Alex, once you lose battery power/charge level, do you lose AWD? Same for that 0 to 60mph number ?
    3
  331. Little details like the wood trim grain not lining really make the interior hit or miss inside especially for the price. Without the Ferrari V8, I don't get the appeal of the Levante outside of loving the Maserati badge
    3
  332. Somebody has to make snow...
    3
  333. Two different materials. There are worse things in the world than non matching software touch dash color with your interior on your $25k CUV. I dont mind it at all
    3
  334. Hate the higher trims front. Like the Corolla hatchbacks front much better. That said, way better looking than any Honda Civic. Also love that NA 2L engine. Definelty needs Android Auto though
    3
  335. Heyu Yoma yes Prius was the ugliest untill the type r came out
    3
  336.  @DarrenPersad  except it can't tow and has a third row for the legless. I do like your Consumer Report attitude though. Very open minded clearly
    3
  337. Way overpriced, horrible acceleration, horrible braking, and horrible infotainment but people don't care because Toyota. People buy Toyota products blindly. Also the hybrid does not fix everything Alex. I do not want wheel spin/fake AWD. I do not want the extra weight and horrid braking. Into not want a CVT.
    3
  338. Nissan needs to just change its name to Hertz and I think they would be viewed ,such more favorably. They are great rental Vehicles.
    3
  339. Would much rather have the Toyota Avalon with its superior tech. Lexus is a joke to call this a luxury car
    3
  340. David Wu and its fwd
    3
  341. Sponsored Content. Love how Alex says the Rams air suspension will cost more to replace than the adaptive Sierra suspension even though he doesn't know the cost. Yet the advanced cylinder deactivation system in the Sierra must cost peanuts to fix as well, right? This whole "review"felt very one sided. The interior on here is terrible for a truck and horrible for a luxury truck yet no mention in this video. I guess customers GM surveyed didn't want a nice interior either. Everything bad you seem to have an excuse for.
    3
  342. Am I understanding the pricing correctly that you need to spend $60k to get rear seat vents? I would go Ram and then F150. Tundra is not competitive and already feels dated
    3
  343. Alex is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Making zero sense when comparing it to the new Altima
    3
  344. Yes same here
    3
  345. They make it slow because the old people that drive them can't handle torque. They are also mentally slow so this helps
    3
  346. Its going to be so nose heavy and should have done this correctly lke ever other luxury competitor (except Volvo) with mounting the engine longitudinally. Such a big car now. I really don't see the appeal or why you would pay a price premium when a Genesis G70 3.3TT will perform better for less unless you just really want an Acura. I do love that Acura brought out its Integra Type R to drive for reviewers. I had a GS-R back in the day and loved it.
    3
  347. This design already looks stale. Reminds me of the prior gen Avalon up front. Still no Android Auto. Pass
    3
  348. Not at all. Look up BMW X340iM
    3
  349. Fantastic upgrade. The SRT Durango is such great vehicle! I much prefer the updated looks of the SRT. The new interior is so nice with that forged carbon found in Lamborghini vehicles. I want one.
    3
  350. Where are they making strides? Middle of class in everything, 3 years late, and the highest price in segment. Yeah they are killing it..............
    3
  351. Yeah both of these boring cuvs would not me on my list. At these prices I'd go Mazda CX5 2.5L Turbo all day long. Way better interior and powertrain
    3
  352. Love this car! The Sport manual is on my lost to purchase. Just the right amount of tech and nothing gimmicky. A great driver most importantly. Closest thing to my original Lexus IS300 5speed manual I owned. Very happy Genesis made this and I want to reward them with my money. Good old Alex advocating the death of the manual transmission.
    3
  353. Why is Ford so awful with interiors? This is terrible and cheap. Huge plastic bezel surround. Tesla and Ram have done this so much better. Interface looks horrid as well. 360 degree takes up two inches of the screen hahaha
    3
  354. george mcray hay At least it has a great engine and driving capabilities unlike the Lexus nX turd
    3
  355. james 699 link to where it shows the reliability on a 5 year old Lexus turbo please?
    3
  356. Not sure explanation makes sense at the end. When you go to tree off cars with your spouse and the Stelvio QV has been in the shop for a month waiting on parts for a third time , the only option is the Civic turbo and carpooling.
    3
  357. Alex a Mercedes AMG GT isnt a competitor to the LC500? It has gt in its name. Also seen BMW i8 buyers shop this.
    3
  358. Normally I am against the awd demand but here it really needs AWD option given how Toyota cuts power on the V6 on slip which happens in the first three gears. Makes the V6 not fun. At these power levels, AWD should have been offered
    3
  359. Disappointing would be an understatement. I wish we could get the EU Passat but VW knows the US market is unintelligent and just wants a boat to fit there obese size back. Should sell well.
    3
  360. Way too expensive especially for that Fisher Price interior. Interior is atleast a generation behind the competition especially when you start pricing it like a Telluride/Palisade
    3
  361. Can't wait for the Veloster N
    3
  362. Slow, bad electronics, bad brakes, loud, meh handling. I'd take a Hyundai Velosoter Turbo or Elantra Sport over this 2.5L equipped Mazda. Mazda keeps going more and more mainstream and numbing the great features. I'm scared of there future direction. Not for enthusiasts it appears
    3
  363. Joe Pah how is this reliable when everything is all new? Also Honda's automatics are known to drop prematurely.
    3
  364. I'm sorry
    3
  365. Because Mercedes and BMWs never depreciate.....
    3
  366. So VW made it cheaper feeling, more heavy, slower, and more numb. Great. Americans will love this. Another cheapen3d North American VW product. Between this, the Atlas, and Passat, I feel maybe a dime was spent on the interior. Definelty not German
    3
  367. Amazing how much better this is than Cadillac. Just look at that interior and cohesive design. Cadillac should be embarrassed
    3
  368. I wont buy a new car unless it's direct sales method. I am done with the stealerships and there predatory practices. This illustrates why I wont by buying from a traditional manufacturer that forces you to deal with a stealership. Keep the Rivian, ditch the Ford
    3
  369. Sarkus01 I disagree with you. The Santa Fe shown already over seas is much more subtle than this design. The Kona is much edgier
    3
  370. Love all the tool owners driving these on the expressway as there daily and never take it off road. Bro dozer from the factory. Everything wrong with automobiles right here. Gluttony. Just waiting for Semi or tanks to be sold at dealers for these bros
    3
  371. dave6726 agree and the commenters on the channel are much more educated than on red line which has a median age of 9
    3
  372. Right Lane Hog thank you. I really feel the Camaro is the best sports car of the group but it's visibility limitations are kind of a big deal for me. I'm in the process of purchasing a 370Z so I really tested the Camaro and just couldn't pull the trigger.
    3
  373. Price is way too much. Crazy high for this. Needs to be at least $10k lower. XC40 has more power and a better interior for less. Not a fan of the Otterbox enclosed iPad looking display. This would be a quality Buick offering but not a Cadillac nor for the price they are asking. Pretty slow and no SuperCruise is lame. Also everything is faster than the Lexus UX. Thats not a compliment. Cadillac took the luxury of being last to this segment and they brought a very meh product. Very typical of Cadillac lately.
    3
  374. Brett ruined everything! Those tacky chrome trim around the bumper looks so,cheap and awful. Honda has no idea what styling is
    3
  375. The whole car is ugly. Its not just the hanus grille. The front and rear clip are bad. Interior is also nothing special either for a luxury car. On a luxury purchase, I don't understand why you would go ugly when you have the beautiful Audi A/S/RS5, Mercedes C Class coupe, or even the Alfa Giulia which I know isn't a coupe. Just way better options than to buy a car you don't want to be seen in.
    3
  376. Congrats. I love the new K900. It's stunning inside and out. It's the Better Volvo in my opinion. RWD and tech that works
    3
  377. Hackiesacker007 I agree. Very ugly. Girls will love it though
    3
  378. Mike Gee your low IQ is your loss.
    3
  379. I found one with 3.5k miles on it and an asking price of $47k. Could not believe how bad its residuals are
    3
  380. Alex gush fest. Four cylinder only engine lineup, transversely mounted engine/fwd based really have this dead in the water to me. The hybrid will have so many problems. They really need a six cylinder offering. The Acura TLX seems to be its direct competitor, not the Germans
    3
  381. Gross
    3
  382. watershed44 agree on this Eco thing being crap. Only women will buy it
    3
  383. When your Lexus coupe weighs more than a four door BMW 7 series....
    3
  384. Honda cannot make a single good looking car. Its like they are trying to be ugly. Then there is all that shiney piano black plastic inside that already looks dirty. Then there is the fact that you have to pay $48k to get a heated steering wheel. Dislike
    3
  385. The fact that you are surprised an a used 8 year old German car is unreliable proves your own point. Intelligence is not on your side.
    3
  386. Right Lane Hog good luck figuring out that Lexus craptastic interface
    3
  387. Magnesium shift paddles to shift a gearless transmission...This sums up this car perfetly. Get rid of the junk Jatco CVT, get a lsd, and lose the "4DSC" badge. Kia Stinger over this all day. Hell an Avalon TRD is a better version of this and it will be dead reliable unlike the Nissan
    3
  388. XC40 looks and performs so much better. For a new entry, the Q3 already celebrated and nothing special. For $38k though I am going Mazda CX-5 2.5L Turbo over all of these
    3
  389. Why would they sell 2 of essentially the same vehicle (EV Niro and EV Soul) in the same showroom? Could havedistinguished the Niro EV by offering AWD which would have gave the consumer the option if they want to pay more for AWD. Instead you have 2 of the same. Shame. I know for a fact my sister was going to buy the Niro until she learned it didn't have AWD.
    3
  390. He definelty is more of a typical California EV guy. Hates manual transmissions, ect. Not the best reviewer
    3
  391. Its much better if you were listening to him. Is SH AWD essentially. No idea why fanboys think Subaru AWD makes you invincible.
    3
  392. That's what I thought too. Not sure about Alex's graphic
    3
  393. It really doesn't matter what FCA does, that ZF 9 speed ruins every fwd based vehicle it has
    3
  394. Sadly the Explorer ruin ed the styling of this by making it popular and cops cars. Played out
    3
  395. This segment is so bad with the exception of the Kona 1.6T option. Slow, poor braking, overpriced, poor interior, and CVT. Honda really mailed it in
    3
  396. This comparison really points out how bad the Toyota 2L Turbo in the IS is. They were the last manufacturer to introduce a 2L Turbo in the RC200 and it is by far the worst turbo. The Audi 2L turbo in contrast is just a modern marvel. I don't believe there is a better 2 L engine made today
    3
  397. I actually really don't mind the fake wood trim in this QX80. I'm my opinion the fake wood trim looks miles better than all the piano black plastic used in it's place on something like the new MDX interior which Alex gushes over. I think if this got a modern one touchscreen and the Titans nine speed automatic, Infiniti would have a nice product on there hands.
    3
  398. The Veloster N competes with the GTI, not so much the Turbo trim. That said, the Veloster N is a much more engaging car and a better handler. Does not offer a automatic transmission option like the GTI nor does the interior hold a candle to the GTI inside. If you want a luxurious inside, get the GTI. If you like cars that talk to you, get the Veloster N. I would not fault someone for choosing one over the other. Both are fantastic cars.
    3
  399. I would definitely get this Polestar 2 over the Mache. Definitely would do a different spec I interior though. I also appreciate the direct ish sales method Polestar allows you.
    3
  400. I'd get a Kia Stinger in this segment
    3
  401. rockn roll I honestly forgot what this was even about but agree with your points. As long as we all.can agree that the Honda Civic Type R is the ugliest car cteated, we are good. Cheers
    3
  402. Starting to realize this show is just for California
    3
  403. Great job on this Alex! Love the exterior design of the IS. Sadly its current powertrains, interior spac, and seats are uncompetitive. I think more aggressive pricing would go a long way. Very curious though how they price the V8 in the IS500. $45k-$50k for the IS500 would sway me over to Lexus. Otherwise I'd go updated G70 3.3TT.
    3
  404. The touch pad is dangerously bad. Very poor interface. Add to that a mostly fwd biased drive and rare, rare instances where it might decide to send power to the rear. I'll take the real McCoy RWD based platform over this Honda.
    3
  405. When listing the Lexus ES and Avalon with a plus for having "avaliable awd" you should really note its only with the anemic 2.5L 4 cylinder. No awd can be had with the 3.5L V6 just like the Cadenza.
    3
  406. I think the LC500 is beautiful. The tech is horrible. Its curb weight is too heavy for the money you are spending. Its na V8 is a gem and one of the best sounding engines available. Objectivly the 911 is better in every measure. C8 Corvette out does the LC in every measure as well for $40k less. The LC is for the Toyota owner than never leaves a Lexus show room.
    3
  407. At $27.5k for the manual I am going VW GTI with 228hp and a LSD over this Mazda all day. That price is crazy high for the same engine as prior gen. $28k for a manual is too much. What a bummer
    3
  408. Someone likes crying. Same problem Tesla is facing yet they can't build them fast enough demand is so high. Same goes for the Toyota Prius. Stop being a GM fanboy. If it's a good enough product, people will pay money for it. Simple as that.
    3
  409. Very impressed with this GW. That said, I hope the dealership experience and build quality improve to match that six digit pricetag. If you want to compete wth luxury brands, its not just the product that matters.
    3
  410. I'm happy you said it, I haven't seen pulled leather since 90s Lexus products. Its strange that Nissan didn't give this the nine speed the the Titan recorded to help fuel economy. Not a bad vehicle that just needs a couple tweaks to really help it. Nine speed would help fuel economy which is the one real negative. I do love Nissans 5.6L V8. Gem of an engine
    3
  411. gianfrancoa bahaha was thinking the same thing. I will only buy HID /led headlamps. So important in my opinion
    3
  412. sic22l the Corolla, Elantra, 3, Forte, Focus, Civic, Sentra all have HID as an option so not sure where the hell you shop?
    3
  413. Curious how many 2020 model vehucles still have a 5 speed auto? I'm guessing not many?
    3
  414. It has a CRV underpinnings and a Honda engine, nothing inquire regardless of what Honda I mean Acura claims. That front is hideous as well
    3
  415. Middle aged woman is the tarket.
    3
  416. $42k!!! Holy wow. Yeah pass
    3
  417. A CVT on a three row SUV is an instant no. Besides the fact it ruins the driving feel, you can't tow anything. CVT slips and gets too hot regaurdless of what the salesperson said.
    3
  418. So hideous looking. Yuck. Braking distance is dangerously long.
    3
  419. Honda, don't listen to him, bring back the S2000
    3
  420. It really does seem Vroom is hit or miss. I sold a car to them a year ago and it went smoothly. I'm sure a lot has changed in a year bit I would be very upset if I had your experience. Sounds incredibly frustrating at best.
    3
  421. For the price, you cannot do better. It's a great deal. My knit picks against it is the continued horrible Honda wheel design and that it is closer to the regular Civic in terms of performance than the Type R
    3
  422. Omar S same. The digital one looks straight out of Sesame street
    3
  423. So BMW grenades the 3 series to the size of a land yacht but keep the X5 the same size as the original. Sure, makes sense......4 door coupe....
    3
  424. Really wished Kia would use the ZF 8 Speed gearbox as there home made boxes just aren't as nice. Interior is a home run. Very nice inside
    3
  425. Junk CVT and deficiencies economy. The Civic is faster, more efficient, and better equipped. Alex's point that a worse car(Sentra) is cheaper than the competition being it's main selling point makes no sense. It doesn't compete against the higher, more expensive trims of the Civic and Corolla. Those two also can be had with a manual transmission which are so much better than a Nissan CVT. Forte with a 10 year warranty killed the Sentra as well
    3
  426. Not even the same size/class of cars so I'd hope it be cheaper. It's slower than an M5 as well so enjoy those panel gaps on your Tesla
    3
  427. Given the leaf doesn't even have active cooling, it shouldn't even be considered. If Nissan cut costs there, I don't even want to think of where else they cut corners. That said, I simply can't afford these. $25k is the max I can afford so I would go Honda Civic Sport and can buy all the gas in the world before I break even with a $40k ev
    3
  428. Not a fan of how Nissan did pricing. At $50k its overpriced and at $40k it should have a LSD. As a former 300ZX, 350Z, and 370Z you can see all the 370Z parts everywhere which is fine if they kept the pricing affordable like prior 370Z but they didnt. GR86 is getting my money as I can't afford the new Z now. Nissan priced me out of the market

  429. Alex, didn't you test a Kia Sportage SX 0 - 60mph ? Why is that never included in your comparison stats? Intention this because it's one of the fastest if not fastest insegment but you don't include it in you 0 to 60 list giving the impression the Equinox is faster than a Forester or Sportage. I want justice
    3
  430. Trades46 then get a 5 series or learn to drive properly. RWD is a great thing
    3
  431. SkywalkerWroc its actually not safe at all. It can't make a single evasive maneuver. Construction zones and school zones it cant handle, ect. Were you watching this video at all or did you GM fanboy bias just takeover the second you saw the video posted?
    3
  432. Poor quarter mile time that no one mentions suspiciously
    3
  433. Bahahaha thus just made my day! Well played and they should seriously hire you. That grill is so bad
    3
  434. I disagree strongly with Alex about looks over function. I want a functioning infotainment system over snappy looks. Lag drives me up a wall and very unpremium What a joke of a country gives someone buying a $95k luxury SUV, $7k?! That totally makes sense. They clearly are struggling for money....
    3
  435. I'm sorry for your lost
    3
  436. Feel the exact same way. Especially with every Cadillac product
    3
  437. When your fuel economy is a wash between the 2.5L and 2L, you know that 2L is way overworked.
    3
  438. I swear Jaguar uses the heaviest aluminum in the world
    2
  439. what a terrible back seat design. The whole point of this class is a large backseat. If you have to kink your neck to sit in the rear, the car is pointless. Terrible job GM
    2
  440. @Alex on Autos Maybe the Chevy Bolt is your ticket? Or is that release date to far out to be considered in your purchase?
    2
  441. +Alex on Autos I gotcha. Excited to see how you spec it out. As always, love your work
    2
  442. +Alex on Autos this may be the first time I'm disappointed in you. The 8 speed auto is faster but how fast do you really need to go? If speed is your sole desire and not driver engagement, then why not just get a used GT-R and be faster than everything? Just surprised at your choice. Everyone is definetly allowed their opinions
    2
  443. I always thought the government had no place in interfering with businesses? What happened to that? Clearly not America anymore
    2
  444. Happy they tune this without air suspension. Acura common problem is its under braked. They need to fix that. Would definitely take this over the XC90 which I find an impressive vehicle in itself. I just love the sh awd and the reliability
    2
  445. @Alex On Autos was wondering your take on CARB? I like the idea of low pollution but think they are too agenda driven. I feel more of a focus should be on coal power plants, airplanes, commercial trucks, and cow flatulence. I feel that petrol passenger cars are very efficient. I do not like the mandate on EVs. I consider you more of an expert on this than myself and curious on your thought. I want V8s to still be alive. I love cars. I feel CARB wants us back in the 80s.
    2
  446. great review as always. love it when you do budget performance reviews. Keep up the great work
    2
  447. +Alex on Autos fair points. No argument here on that front. It was more of a surprise that you did not mention it. However, looking at it from your view point, I can now understand the omission as it is not applicable to the majority.
    2
  448. +Alex on Autos why no mention of the Mazda 3 Hatch?
    2
  449. Wow, why would anyone get a Titan XD over this? Just destroys the Nissan
    2
  450. But the horrid styling, lacking safety features, no independent rear suspension, and not as luxurious interior has the Sentra getting killed by the Civic. Smart buyers understand these important differences. If price is all that matters get a Versa
    2
  451. +Nissan TTitanWarrior the civic comes in a manual and hatch in a month for 2017. Your point is mute
    2
  452. Matthew Rogers I think you bought a great vehicle! The MDX grill looks beautiful close up. The whole vehicle has really impressed and I came i to it with negative connotations. Acura just needs to fix the infotainment and they got it. Outstanding value, great handling, and reliability to me trumps the competition by a mile.
    2
  453. connor Piper agree. Im actually very interested in the reliability as I feel their cars have the best interiors and elegant exteriors. Love their style
    2
  454. Wow that is crazy slow. Prius like acceleration
    2
  455. what is the GMC equinox called? I always mess up the names on these
    2
  456. Michael Zhu the cheap hard plastic upper arm rest is unforgivable to me.
    2
  457. Halogen headlights?! Come on FCA. Cheapens the vehicle instantly. I want the best headlights for my family when driving at night
    2
  458. Alex on Autos but do you see these batteries lasting 10 years? I honestly don't know so I'm differing to you. Thanks
    2
  459. Alex on Autos okay good to know. I just remember the Leaf's batteries did not fare well over time
    2
  460. Would love to hear how you think it compares to the Ford Focus ST. Also if this VW has the performance pack option. Look forward to the review.
    2
  461. how does this compare to the Nissan Armada and Jeep Grand Cherokee? I know the GC is a 2 row but size wise I belive they are close.
    2
  462. Alex on Autos oh very interesting. Did not know that. The Volvo would defintely have a superior system compared to the Rav4 awd system. Thanks Alex
    2
  463. My mom wanted to buy this. Test drove the QX30 AWD drive and said it was the worst riding car she's ever been in. Noted the tech was awful and not power tailgate. She bought a Kia Sportage SX instead
    2
  464. Rye Shelton. What?
    2
  465. Only Alex likes VW and its cheapen American specific products. Tiguan is garbage here but around the world you get a better version with a powerful engine option. Then there is the awful reliability in America. We get worse versions. The new Golf/GTI is a user interface nightmare as well. Passat is just sad here. Then there is that whole Dieselgate thing.
    2
  466. Comparing it to a Q60 hurts my head. One has rear seats the other doesn't. One is on the 370Z platform, the other doesn't. Intact the only thing comparable from the new Z to the Q60 is the engine and electric assisted steering. Curb weight will be much less in the Z. I dont think Alex should do reviews or hot takes on sports cars. He just doesn't know enough about them
    2
  467. Alot of sensitive people in the comments over there car not being picked best. Not sure why everyone think there choice is better than the other persons. Choice is a good thing.
    2
  468. Nicely done! Proper RWD based and gorgeous
    2
  469. Hideous. Looks like a melted stock of butter. Way too much money for a fwd based car. For $55k I'm going M2 Comp or C43 AMG. Alex pushing his Volvo agenda I see
    2
  470. Very underwhelming. Not a fan of the looks either. Dissapointed
    2
  471. Really surprised you think it is that dynamic. High praise. I really want to see this compared to the Pilot and it's trick AWD system.
    2
  472. BigHeadClan this is what I will say. I'm best friends with 2 former head service techs from BMW. Different Dealerships. One know works for Mercedes and the other for Toyota. Both have said they have never seen such horrible spec parts than in BMWs. Meaning they were constantly replacing accessories, ect. Turbos go all the time. My one guy said Mercedes is night and day difference with the quality they use. BMW is built for the warranty only. I will also site personal experience where my grandma got a 2015 7 series a d went through 2 turbos, multiple injectors, 14 batteries, 4 head units, all with less than 20k on the car. She is not a speed demon to say the least. I am not going of CR reliability which is so fickle for the flavor of the month or JD Power which goes to the biggest advertisor. Just real life experience. I've talked to many others who would not touch a modern BMW. That is what I'm going off of. Could be flawed but based on real experiences
    2
  473. BigHeadClan not going to argue either of your points. Like I said I'm not saying your wrong as much as I'm just going off of what I've seen. My buddies E90 M3 has never not been in the shop. However you have the opposite experience of me. Who is correct? I think both. I really do not want to dislike BMW. I hope I'm my opinion is wrong honestly
    2
  474. Emmett AU this civic is the ugliest vehicle in production currently.
    2
  475. So true. I think you really have to try to make something this ugly on purpose
    2
  476. Honda, Toyota ,Chevy Boi this segment is so huge and the downgrade in size to the Corolla gives up way too much power. There is no right size car with a decent engine unless you go VW Golf or Elantra Sport. Wished there was a RWD option under 30k that was a sedan
    2
  477. This Golf is superior to the MK8 dangerous touchscreen special. The MK 8 has a much cheaper interior quakity and then carryover chasis. If also is more expensive than this Golf shown here. MK7.5 is the one to get while you still can. Also 2020 models still have the dieselgate warranty which is worth mentioning given the 1.4T and the even worse 1.5T in the MK8
    2
  478. SDav21 you can't reason with brahs. There lift kit is in complete inverse of there brain size. Other sad fact is the government gives tax breaks for business owners if it's curb weight is over a certain poundage. There is absolutely a double standard. You are rewarded for having a heavier truck. These thugs will gang up on you in the comments because they are afraid of losing there manhood in these trucks
    2
  479. wish you would have compared it to the Kia Sportage SX
    2
  480. The 2017 rental Malibu I had killed the A.C.. Most hated feature.
    2
  481. Nissan spends more money on concepts and gimmicks than any of there real vehicles and it shows. What a sad company has become. CVT everything and add cheapness is there new motto. Interior reminds me of my Malibu re talk I had last week with that awful wood thing. Personally I'd just wait for the Mazda 3 AWD if AWD was a requirement
    2
  482. LifeISMagix see Kia Stinger. Get aware
    2
  483. Your Rogue vs Rav4 examples is flawed. Toyota has to discount the Rav4 hard, especially towards the end of its life. No one paid msrp. This was not as well received as the current Rav4. Also using trade in is ridiculous. If you trade in your cars you deserve to take a bath on resale. Private party sellers see much different values. They call them stealerships for a reeason
    2
  484.  @MrCarpediem6  somehow the Mercedes E Class/ S Class is rated just as safe as Volvo while the Models S/3 perform great as well. I think Volvo likes to blame some things in the name of safety, but its really just cost saving motivated. The transverse mounted engine is one of those. Mercedes E/S Class have more safety features/ways to protect you than Volvo and they have a longitudinal engine. Tesla Model 3/S crash better and there is no engine up front. Point being is Volvo refuses to have more than two platforms and one engine for all of its models. Truthfully, you get hit by one of those lifted pickups in the road, the way your engine is mounted wont matter when the bottom of the truck is taller than it
    2
  485. Alex logic is the car may break down and not run, but dammit how about that moving second row seats that won't disturb the baby seat. Take my money. Car is ugly, overpriced, dated, and unreliable. What else could you want? Oh that's right, you can have "well done" fake exhaust exits...ahy
    2
  486. Id just get the RWD version. I do wish this car was more fun like the G70 but it is what it is. Very nice car overall. I could care less about the safety systems unlike Alex. I want to drive, not the computers
    2
  487. A raised Versa that's slower. Someone was desiring this? Yuck. CVT and 125hp NA engine all going to the front wheels only. Dangerously slow. Infusing its light weight is gonna return horrible crash test scores. This is by far the worse segment of vehicles in the auto landscape.
    2
  488. Does Alex realize the 6 speed manual Civic is faster than the 6 speed auto fwd Mazda 3? His rant about the CVT for 2 minutes being why the Civic is faster is completely false. It's called engine, light weight. and boost. Also No idea why you don't compare fuel economy to the Impreza Hatch. Which beats the 3. Finally it compares to the Mazda CX30, not the CX5. I expect better of you Alex. You missed in alot of key areas
    2
  489. Given how bad the build quality is on the new Explorer/ Aviator, this should be a shit show on the lines at Ford. They dont do new well
    2
  490. Geez they couldn't even give you projector halogens in the upper trim so you at least have a chance at surviving at night? I'd hate to see where else they cut costs just so they could say awd is free. Looks like the side plastic body cladding was done on a budget too. $30k plus to get proper headlights is insane
    2
  491. You do get irs on the current hatchback which I think is a huge plus
    2
  492. Really a great vehicle for the price. Would take this all day over a Corolla, Mazda 3, Focus, ECT. Dealers are selling these fully loaded for $16k. Hats a steal
    2
  493. Amazing video Alex! Thank you for doing these
    2
  494. Wael Moula its so slow I would look elsewhere unless you are a fanboy. Edmunds did a honest review on it and deemed the 0 to 60mph in 12.3 seconds as just dangerous and a full 3 seconds slower than a Prius. Merging is impossible. Understand I'm not even saying it should be as fast as all the competition but anything under 10 seconds would be appreciated albeit still slow. Zero effort by Subaru as shown in the upcoming Forester as well eliminating the XT
    2
  495. Bruno TaTa this acura is all new. How do you know anything about reliability? Also Acura is known for having automatic transmission problems. Stop being a fan boy and stating blantently wrong information
    2
  496. The Ioniq is not competition. Come on Alex, I know you love hybrids but it's a hatchback. If you have that as competition you should include the GTI or Prius
    2
  497. Missed opportunity. Rwd costs nothing and if you are only offering two wheel drive, make it rear drive like the ID3/ID4. The styling looks alright. Maybe I expected too much from Chevy. The shiney black plastic all over inside is disappointing but I guess I will hold judgement until I see price
    2
  498. Really disappointed in Kia car offerings lately. Very bare minimum done here on the soul. Torsion beam rear end reminds me of a cheap PT Cruiser. Turbo option still lacks a manual option which would cost nothing as the engineering is already done on it. Rear end is a mess. No AWD option is poor as well. Hate the Mini like interior dash.
    2
  499. stephane matis technically it's not on a road so.....
    2
  500. Compared it to a Jaguar R Type but not a Toyota 86.....how do you forget about the 86/BRZ?
    2
  501. Realtime Reviews nothing
    2
  502. Ugly mini van looking thing.I really wish we got the new generation of Ford Fiesta in the North American market. So happy we get a Veloster Turbo here. That is my pick. Love that car
    2
  503. These things are just way too big. Sinful to daily this. Clearly not meant for the real workers
    2
  504. I would like to talk to these people that have an issue with you calling a trans axle a trans axle. People are so sensitive about the C8 talking about if its a real Corvette, ect. Truth is its just a great car. Its not what I look for in a sports car but for the price, its insane the amount of super car you get with it. The interior is excellent which you could never say about the last three generations. (C7 was just good, not great). Great job Chevy. Perfect world they would have kept the C7 going along with the C8 so the manual die yards would have a Corvette option. Can't win them all I guess. For anyone that wants to track there C8 or get more oversteer, should read the Edmunds long term C8 write up on the Track alignment. They had some issues getting it right and help explain to others how to make sure you get the rear setup correctly.
    2
  505. Love what Toyota did here. Rwd gets my money. Now if only they sold them here. What a great vehicle for surprisingly not a lot of money
    2
  506. This is a Traverse. It handles for shit
    2
  507.  @canadabear72  exactly! It's fwd based.
    2
  508. Edgardo Amado Honda should have a front bumper and rear bumper delete option as well
    2
  509. This would be amazing if arangednlike a Volt or Prius. Shame they built this to satisfy CARB ridiculousness. This car had potential
    2
  510. "Upcoming Pilot". You mean Passport Alex. Do your job
    2
  511. Eli Yang the fact that its on par with a Rouge in acceleration is just sad.
    2
  512. Tour X is also German, not American designed so he was pretty wrong on all accounts
    2
  513. Alex would you ever put the curb weights of the vehicles tested? I'm guessing that "Germanic" feel is just actual additional weight vs the Stelvio
    2
  514. This!
    2
  515. Matthew's Car Corner when the rogue is the best seller, powertrains are clearly the last concern of buyers......
    2
  516. Devin Crutcher he wants the 2L turbo, like in the rocketship Sportage. Damn that thing is fast
    2
  517. Comment of the year potentially.
    2
  518. matt k yeah but you have a glorious V8. Id take the 550i all day
    2
  519. Rahul Verma i am sorry. Thank you for sharing your experience to let others know. It is appreciated
    2
  520. kevin12697 that's simply not true. Alex have stated even on his review of the 9 speed, Jag and Land Rover have figured out a way to make it not a problem.
    2
  521. Alex now trying to push SUVs down people's throats. The Charger already had an automatic transmission so I was curious what direction Alex would go given he couldn't bad mouth a manual. Just shows as a manufacturer you should not send this man any cars or anything with sporting pretensions as he does not understand
    2
  522. Value pricing is not enough when you look at how much better the competition is compare to this this. Powertrain is weak and lifeless, interior is just average, reliability is poor, warranty is poor, styling is bland at best. Just very forgetable and is a perfect car for a rental fleet. The Jatco cvt needs to go. Super unreliable and so behind Hondas, Subaru and Toyotas CVTs. Its crazy the difference if you actually test drive the competition
    2
  523. Right Lane Hog couldn't agree more.
    2
  524. Right Lane Hog hahahaha was thinking the same. Pretty sure we need to blindly argue a ponit, never considering or respecting the others view point.
    2
  525. Right Lane Hog hahahaha it takes about a day
    2
  526. Damn that Rav4 is ugly and way overpriced. So slow and that interiormis dreadful. Mazda CX5 easily over the Rav4. Also pimping the Rav4 Hybrid version for speed needs to be noted that the AWD system is actually less capable off roading than the CX5. Caradvice.au pitted the hybrid vs the CX5 off roading and the Mazda did superb while the Rav4 struggled. Don't let the cladding on the hybrid fool you
    2
  527. BBdecool1 getting to 60mph....
    2
  528. That interior is so bad. No wonder
    2
  529. Hackiesacker007 I think the Honda Civic Type R is the ugliest vehicle in production. Ugliest cuv is the fiat 500L. The CHR is a close second in my opinion. I think unlike the Juke, the styling is offensive only because it has sporty ptmretensions and is slower than a base Nissan Sentra. Alex can get all rose glasses with this cuvs independent suspension but it's hard to be a canyon carver in a such a slow car with a cvt and raised ride height.
    2
  530. Hideous front end, dated,.terrible Jatco CVT and incredibly underpowered. Should sell well (being serious), sadly. It has matched the competition that will be getting a refresh..very soon which isn't saying much about the Rogue in a year. See Hyundai Tuscan
    2
  531. ms3er okay. So why do you defend the Q then? You clearly get cars. I actually kind of love you now as you are a driver and not a poser. I still don't support the open diff 400hp car but do like your garage. There are parts in your reply which I disagree with when bringing up the Alfa as an LSD is still an option. That being said I guess it's just my opinion and you have yours. I respect yours. Also your Lotus. Mainly your Lotus he hahaha
    2
  532. ms3er I did not realize the packaging requirements on the Alfa. Fully agree with what you are saying. The eLSD bothers me maybe because I'm just sad that a skill that took me time on a track can be dialed in by a novice user and in most cases outperform a LSD with all controls off. The ZL1 LE for example came make you look like a hero on your first track day. I need to let it go as I'm the annoying guy that just wants a stick shift, LSD, and no nannies. I like to know my own skills and not the cars. That is not the way anymore and I need to accept that. Sucks getting old hahaha. Cheers
    2
  533. Alex only reviews automatic cars. He can't/hates driving manuals. He made that apparent in his Mustang review. He's not an enthusiast so he won't understand the N
    2
  534. Talk about mailing it in Honda. 5 years dated already. Who would jave thought that you could build three of the same vehicle and market it as "all new". The off roading vehicle for those that have never been off road nd will never go off roading. Fake tuff. Marketing at its finest
    2
  535. Only Alex would incorrectly say the Audi TT handles better than a Civic Type R. This guy is so out of his element
    2
  536.  @hedydd2  what are you talking about? There sales are abysmal vs the competition. They sell SUVs and YOY looks good due to not having as many models. Clearly you are a brainwashed Geely fanatic. I wish you the best in life
    2
  537. Alex amazing work as always. Love these in depth dives. Learn so much
    2
  538. Look on the forums and read all the problems owners aeee having withthe rcf. Axles blow up like crazy. Typical Toyota fanboy blindly praising them.
    2
  539. Talk about a mom mobile.
    2
  540. Keep the Rivian. Way more interesting. Everyone and there mom will have a F150 especially with fleet sales. I know of three other YouTubers that are getting a F150 L but no one that is getting a Rivian
    2
  541. SugarFreeTargets greatly appreciated!
    2
  542.  @moloono1  Consumer reports is a agenda driven propaganda. Don't get if twisted with the truth
    2
  543. Ugliest EV out there without a doubt. I sadly can't get over the styling. It reminds me of an uglier Volt that is somehow supppse to replace a S Class with none of its presence/style or rear space. Id go S Class over this without question. A monthly fee to get full rear wheel steer angle is also insulting
    2
  544. Alex is so bad at talking about sports cars. I'm sure he is happy that both of these cars have automatics. Saves is from his robot rant
    2
  545. Why does this get worse fuel economy than a full size truck with a V8?
    2
  546. Is there anything different between this and the S90 other than length?
    2
  547. @Alex On Autos do you think that if the 2018 Camry had Apple Carplay that there would really be no cons for it?
    2
  548. gene978 so you are unemployed?
    2
  549. Jordan Catcher the Camaro you can't see out of so I'm happy its just these two
    2
  550. Really wished that Toyota would put a quarter of this effort into a fun car. Cough......Toyota 86.....cough
    2
  551. Phil Kulak coming in 2019....
    2
  552. Phil Kulak cool story bro
    2
  553. You mean not intelligent buyers?
    2
  554. Nicolas Gauthier I think the Forested XT and Sportage SX are the best in this segment. My mom bought the Sportage because she didn't want to be associated with the lesbian community. Alex never brings up these two vehicles. He just gushes over anything that is Mazda
    2
  555. I would go Genesis G80 3.5TT Sport when it comes out. I much prefer the exterior design and interior design of the G80. The refreshed E Class looks unattractive now.
    2
  556. Base GT with PP1 is best bang for buck. Alex choice for an automatic isn't shocking as he isnt a driver or enthusiast. This is why reviewers like Savagegeese have opinions I respect way more than Alex
    2
  557. You compare a rwd based Volvo and Acura to the GLC instead of the Stelvio or F Pace? ? Ugh, I know Volvo sponsors you but maybe you could gush a little less over it? Thanks
    2
  558. Ervin0310 it is amazing how close it is. Normally their are faint hints but this is a blatant copy
    2
  559. Roman O what does a Fiesta ST do 0-60mph? This is not a gti competitor
    2
  560. Not sure how you got that 0 to 60mph time considering MotorTrend and Car and Driver both got in the Mid 7 seconds and they use a foot roll out in there time. Missing some features/amenities for it to be a "premium" offering. I don't care for the interior design and piano black plastic everywhere. I do appreciate it has IRS standard on all trims which Mazda doesn't offer on the 3. I think I would shop the competition personally, but am excited to see what the Civic SI brings
    2
  561. Agree. The G70 3.3TT has a better power to weight ratio and costs less. Also has its engine not over the front axle like the Type S. The M340i is a beast if you can afford it.
    2
  562. Very impressed that this doesn't have an awful CVT like all its competition
    2
  563. Haven't you driven the refreshed Santa Fe? You conclusion confuses me unless this was reviewed months ago? Though you would have updated your conclusion through editing
    2
  564. A very nice car at a potentially great price depending on what is optional and its cost. Wish it would have gotten lighter weight though to match the competition.I actually prefer the naturally aspirated engine in the V6 to the turbo competition.
    2
  565. Wow they made the 2 Series huge now. 2 series was my favorite BMW but they did there magic with ruining that. It was always about being small and nimble, but now its just another 4 Series. Very unattractive. Looks like it was stung by multiple bees. No manual option is a huge let down.
    2
  566. Wow, I haven't seen "C" grades in a while. I will say I'm impressed and pleased that this has Apple Carplay and Androids Auto unlike the Rav4
    2
  567. I wouldn't touch either, slow, boring, and horrible tech. Pass
    2
  568. Exactly!
    2
  569. Kia really impresses with its updates. Great job
    2
  570. Personally I love the size of the Golf. I think it's handsome and definelty my pick in this segment right with the Honda Civic

  571. I will never understand why Mazda invested so much money in the Skyactiv-X engine, which ended up being quite disappointing, when they could have used that money for an eight/ten speed auto that would have increased the acceleration and efficiency across its entire lineup. Same goes for how they did there tech integration. I can't consider it s premium car when it misses big in two key areas. The have also had time to correct this.and still nothing. Just a bummer on an otherwise great offering. I appreciate Alex's honest review. He did discuss this and its always appreciated.
    2
  572. God LovesAtheist no this is American. Nothing German about it
    2
  573. Alex the AMG GT-R/GT-C ect have a 7 speed dct attached to this engine. The 7 speed DCT from Mercedes is an absolute gem and the GT would compete against this Vantage. All that said, that was amazing that you nearly fit in the Roadsters trunk haha
    2
  574. Kevin Ramos no Toyota only does "sport" styling and then tell you how great of a "driver" the car is instead of just giving it a decent engine. Happy the Civic exists
    2
  575. Looking At the competition one thing comes abundantly clear, Lexus really makes the slowest cud of the bunch by a lot. No upper trim engine and abundance of turbo lag. Lexus really is lacking
    2
  576. Shame they didn't give the ZR2 more power. For that amount of money, I want more horsepower
    2
  577. BMW build the M2 Comp with nothing from Toyota. Your statement is very uneducated
    2
  578. Honestly idmjust get a 1.5L T Civic and get 40mpg while not killing me while trying to merge with traffic. Also way more utility. The actual difference between 40mpg and 50mpg is not worth the pain and slowness
    2
  579. Alex pushing his anti manual agenda again I see. 0 to 60 times are not everything Alex.
    2
  580. Such an ugly design. That front is so bad. Would not want to be seen in this. I much prefer the prior gen Sportage
    2
  581. Alex not sure if you read these comments but was wondering if you know if Ferrari has anything to do with Alfa now that they are separate entities? Meaning Alfa and Maserati products going forward will have no common parts with Ferrari? Just hot me thinking a I know Ferrari doesn't use Uconnect bit didn't know if that had more to do with public image or the two now being to separate companies
    2
  582. Moar Desu I believe it's because Asian and Korean luxury companies are always trying to attrackmnew customers where the Germans know that there audience buys there cars strickly based on the badge. There is no need to push the boundary when regardless you have people lining up to lease them to tell everyone at work that they "made it".
    2
  583. The Consumer Reports special. Tailored just to there agenda of standard safety tech that doesnt work. Sad
    2
  584. You track SUVs ? Where? Why?
    2
  585. NIAtoolkit Tacoma is stupid long. Like I would never want to have to drive long. Was surprised
    2
  586. Jason Wang at what?
    2
  587. Ifti Plays RWD for me as well. I've owned 2 different RWD Hyundai and Kia products and both were amazing and reliable
    2
  588. What a horribly boring box and incredibly horrible powertrain. Yikes
    2
  589. The Rogue or Rouge Sport?
    2
  590. Killacamfoo O.G. Agree. This isn5he world of agenda driven CARB. Sad
    2
  591. Joao Alvarez slow
    2
  592. Surprised the 1.5T got slower with this new generation. I feel like $30k for this top trim without vented seats has me thinking of the Accord with the 1.5T and a nicer interior. Tough segment
    2
  593. This guy is shameful to be calling himself a reviewer. Cherry picking the competition only to marginalize pick in the Mazda look better. Alex lost a credibility here. Comparing it to an ancient MDX as opposed to the class leaders in the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade is a joke. Unsubscribed
    2
  594. Very accurate. I do think the GLC should be here rather than the RDX as the interior is not impressive. The Volvo belongs here because of the interior and the Alfa for the handling. Acura is the oddball
    2
  595. Really not a fan of the button less/knob less climate controls and infotainment. Everything about the new Tuscan looks great except for that. Even just the look of the center console for the screen looks cheap with the gloss black plastic. Just seems a bit out of character for this vehicle. Love the exterior and how nicely they integrated the DRLs in the grill.
    2
  596. I'm actually very happy this is not an EV. Excited to see how this works. I actually love the styling of this as well. If the infrastructure was there, I think Hydrogen makes way more sense than plug in EVs
    2
  597. Wow way too slow compared to the CRV and that price is just insane. I'm also shocked they don't offer a hybrids. The Volts drivetrain would work nicely here
    2
  598. starshipexpress seriously?! Good fact!
    2
  599. I liked the pre refreshed looks of the F Type more. It now reminds me of an Audi and isn't as exciting. Only the badge tells me its a Jaguar. Disagree with Alex on it being unique looking now.
    2
  600. Marc Zarkenon clearly you are the old demographic they are trying to shed. Shame
    2
  601. Honestly thank you for buying a manual #savethemanuals
    2
  602. Gross
    2
  603. This thing is fugly outside and inside. Hideous
    2
  604. Lexus is offering $5k off on this model as they are not selling. Deal is good until the end of July https://www.motor1.com/news/252573/lexus-lc-coupe-price-cut/
    2
  605. Alex making moee excuses than an old lady on this thing. Annoying
    2
  606. The HRV with a 1.5L turbo would actually be fun. That said I'd go Hyundai Kona with the 1.6L turbo over the HRV. Wished it had the Honda magic seats though. Biggest dislike on the HRV is that you need to py over $28k just to get rid oh halogen headlights. Inexcusable
    2
  607. Very true. Well said
    2
  608. Wouldmbe so much better and $2k cheaper with a manual gearbox option. Really dissapointed you can't even get the diesel in the 2 door version as well. Jeep has officially sold out
    2
  609. Ghe answeris No. It weighs way too much to be exciting. The GSF four door weighs less. Hope Lexus fixed the axle problems this car was having. Wish there was a manual transmission option as well to make this even more engaging since speed was clearly not a priority. Its a very tough sell on a car that can't even be had with Android Auto or a functional user interface.
    2
  610. What a poor braking distance to get to a full stop from 60mph. Would be really interesting if you did the 0 to 60mph time with the battery fully depleted as well just for a worst case scenerio. Appreciate you giving the time with battery only as well. I really like that the Tuscan Plug In hybrid faster charging than this Ford and would be the reason I would skip this Ford although I do like the Escape's looks a lot more.
    2
  611. Its Me the A4 ?
    2
  612. The first gen NSX was something magical and all about lightweight and feel The second gen is just fast. Exterior is gorgeous, interior is the worst I've seen in a modern Super car. The C8's interior looks miles better than this old RLX interior. Tech is terrible as well. Then there is that ridiculously fat curb weight. McLaren's new hybrid is nearly 600lbs lighter than the NSX. Its fast, but lacks soul. I firmly believe the this NSX would be faster without the weight of the electric motors. I disagree with Alex on that point.
    2
  613. shareare muhith disagree, the Honda Civic Type R
    2
  614. Didn't remember the 2021 X3 having so much cheap piano black plastic all over the interior. Not a fan of the larger grille either. Hopefully they borrow the interior on the new M3/M4 and use it here on the X3 M. The M3/M4 interior is BMWs nicest interior to date including the 5 and 7 series
    2
  615. Terrible greenhouse/visibility and horribly overpriced. Ridiculous someone will get $7k to buy a $100k luxury car. If this is the future, I'm horribly sad. Tesla Model 3 is much better and the larger Model X really is much more practical. Tesla infrastructure is key as well. It would be a huge factor if I was buying an EV.
    2
  616. Engine buzz is the downside. Very off putting
    2
  617. Ugly but much better than the X6 which is a low bar. Looks like a donk. I think thats what Alex was saying as well in the beginning? The non coupe GLE 580 is the pick of the lot
    2
  618. xNuckin_Futs you are correct on both fronts. Great engine and chasis. If it was a RWD chasis I would respect it more than a normal Honda
    2
  619. Every sports car review from Alex consists of 10 minutes of him incorrectly telling you the DCT is better. What he will never mention is the DCT increases weight which caused Hyundai to increase the suspension rate which results in an even harsher ride quality on a car that already drove harshly. DCT also has lacks the immediate punch from a stand still. This is like watching CNN
    2
  620. Wished the Sante Fe had a more powerful engine option. Overall a very nice offering
    2
  621. Get rid of Jim
    2
  622. Just no. Stop
    2
  623. Lexus can keep their reliability, I would never want something this unintresting and dated to last long anyways. Exterior reminds me of a Lexus ES which isnt a compliment for something this expensive. The LS looks dated inside and very busy. I'd get a V8 Genesis G90 personally
    2
  624. None of those. CVT and 9mspeed awfulness
    2
  625. legendray2008 Savagegeese
    2
  626. legendray2008 hmm I like them both alot. If you watched his latest ZL1 1LE review I learned so much. It's a 45 min watch. I was just saying if you didn't already know you should check him out. Both of these guys are just amazing
    2
  627. Christopher Calder some people like to drive cars. Not just be a drone
    2
  628. JazzFan74 keep the Mercedes in my opinion
    2
  629. Same here!
    2
  630. SDav21 I had the pleasure of driving the EU Passat and really puts this bloated Americanized version to shame. Sadly all Americans want is size. It's a very uneducated market here
    2
  631. The SI really makes little sense. The Sport hatchback with a Hondata tune gives you the same hp as the SI for a lot less. If you want a fast car bet the Type R. To me, the Elantra Sport is the sweet spot.
    2
  632. skifree no you can't though. Honda has come out and said any more hp out of the si engine and it will blow. They took the base Civic motor and tuned it up. There's nothing reliable left to get out if that engine. That's why everyone want a detuned 2 liter, not a tuned up 1.5. there are no power gains to be made
    2
  633. Just get the Honda Civic. Acura sedans are so far behind even Honda. Not luxury. At Least Audi and Mercedes give you AWD as an option.
    2
  634. Absolute trash
    2
  635. Upon researching your comments they really hve no merits when understanding the type IV this used here. Seems like an EV lover trying to spew lies
    2
  636. For 40k it's not worth it. No mechanical awd, whinny CVT, poor interior and seat. The Mazda CX5 actually outperformed the Hybrid Rav4 off roading and on slippery conditions as shown by CarAdvice. There not Differential in the rear and wheel spin galore. Front doesn't talk to the back and the left doesn't talf to the right. Yikes
    2
  637. If you don't bring up its real competitors, then it looks only half bad. Dangerously slow and inefficent. Motor is solved worjed. Awful Jatco CVT. Yikes. CX30, Kona, Seltos all destroy this
    2
  638. Really wish you could get that NA V8 with a manual transmission as an option
    2
  639. Honestly because Americans have no taste. See GMC Denali
    2
  640. Ford Explorer was a huge disappointment in many ways. Sales show this to be true as well. I say do an update every 6 months
    2
  641.  @monstercameron  you clearly have not driven the CX3. Very low sitting
    2
  642.  @jamiedickie4647  snow tires are superior to AWD with all season tires. AWD doesn't help you stop
    2
  643. Bill Blair agree, I dislike the sign as well. Breaks iip the image and is distracting on the car
    2
  644. bludhound73 sadly
    2
  645. John Allen I love Lexus but agree on there terrible power plants. The new 2L turbo is awful
    2
  646. Did you watch the movie? He drove a manual. Literelly the whole point of this car
    2
  647. This whole cuv segment is so incredibly slow. I think modern cars should be 0 to 60 under 8 seconds for safety reasons
    2
  648. Agree with your final three picks Alex. Great review as always
    2
  649. Norm T honestly I'd take that refresh Lincoln Nautilus over the Volvo XC60 all day.
    2
  650. Still will weigh too much and cost even more.
    2
  651. Really love that Kia Sportage. Especially in SX guise. Torque vectoring AWD and 2L turbo engine are really impressive in this class. It's at the level of luxury vehicles.
    2
  652. Hyundai Veloster?
    2
  653. Durango SRT really embarrasses this ST thing at the same price tag(ST with brake upgrade and SRTwith discounts) The plastic fender cladding look horrendous and cheap. Sounds of the ST V6TT are weak vs the V8 SRT
    2
  654. No mention of the new Genesis GV80?!
    2
  655. Such an ugly truck regardless of trim. Way overpriced. Not a fan of the Tundra. Ridiculous that it doesn't have full air suspension for this price
    2
  656. Mercedes styling has really gotten bad. I don't know who signed off on that frontclip , but its very unattractive. I would be very curious if any E Class shoppers ever considers this. I have a strong feeling they don't. There are those that want ride height and there are those that don't. I've yet to find someone who didn't care if they got an SUV or car. I also wouldn't quote a dealership statement as truth. I've yet to find an honest one
    2
  657. I love the look. I'm A little worried about weight gain as the Q50/Q60 are much heavier than the 370Z. Also have my fingers crossed for port and direct injection. Love that it has a manual. Already want this more than the Supra because manual
    2
  658. Protector of the Republic oh okay suuuuuuure
    2
  659. Giliar Perez he has a bias towards Volvo. Its his pick in every category one exists. I think Volvo is good but not great
    2
  660. tc27758 I would agree but he hanst been able to test the QX50 fully either
    2
  661. I want the Fiesta ST back. Ford screwed America by offering the horrid EcoSport piece instead
    2
  662. After adding $2k for new tires on this Mazda the 2.5L Turbo ($39k) is going to cost you near Acura RDX ($41k) prices with none of the dealership luxuries, SH AWD, or resale. Tough sell to me
    2
  663. Radu Vlad​ you foreign fuck, i guess you love that understeer sensation as you plow into everything and than act like you dont speak english. Enjoy your bland overpriced VW
    1
  664. The interior on this is horrible. It's the same as a 2003 Maxima. How can the company make a better interior in the current Maxima and Murano yet on this more expensive suv they apply 2003 interior style?
    1
  665. umm, Sportage SX?
    1
  666. Alex I love the styling of the G80 but the branding of Genesis is a failure.They needed dealers seperately from Hyundai to be taken seriously and they failed on that. Add to the fact that they had no initial SUV offering is another fail. Time will tell but kind of like Fiat, sometimes it's hard to recover from a bad launch. Also would take the GS over this G80 strickly for reliability. I actually think the Germans are as reliable as Genesis which isn't saying much.
    1
  667. they use the Rouge steering wheel on this with pep boys carbon fiber stick on trim. Also has an open diff. Terrible
    1
  668. James Wisrik My mom died when i was 3 years old. Thank you
    1
  669. +Alex on Autos how reliable do you see this 2L turbo and super charged engine being?
    1
  670. I do applaud Toyota for making this. To me this is a realistic future solution even if there is a push for ev's only. Really amazing technology in this car. Good job Toyota!
    1
  671. Alex do you think someone 6'2" with long torso would be okay? Im sold on the simplicity of this car but do not want the convertible/removable top. Wish it had a manual as well but i get the dct has more appeal to average drivers. Great review as always!
    1
  672. Wow eyesight on Subarua should be embarassed with how sleek and small this Volvo' s safety sensor is.
    1
  673. So ugly! It literally has 30mm to go before the wheels are flush with the fender and has a 2 foot gap between the top of the tire and the wheel well. Eww
    1
  674. To me, in this segment, you can't go wrong unless you buy a Titan or Tundra. I love the unique offerings from Ram and F150. Personally I like the Ram better due to the V8, looks, and air suspension
    1
  675. +Alex on Autos
    1
  676. Alex on Autos Thats understandable. Honestly the Camaro was on my shopping list but after not being able to see out of it, I quickly eliminated it. Manual or automatic. Im shocked they kept the slit for a windshield. I guess im just use to Japanese sports cars with the short hood and great visibility. As always Alex, amazing work
    1
  677. Rob Kahla when has Acura ever made a sports car? That be like me saying let's talk about Chrysler sport cars. makes no sense.
    1
  678. The ultimate bro dozer. These will only see highways for there special owner
    1
  679. I do not mind the new prius styling, I actually like it. This Mira is ugly, the 3/4 rear or the best pillar back is a mess with that kinked roof. Just hideous
    1
  680. *Mirai
    1
  681. too much money for a product that is average to the competition. Needs a better engine option other than the diesel. Also upset GM didn't just give irs across all Crude models like the Civic, Mazda3, Focus, Corolla, Golf, ect. The hard plastic upper arm rest is unforgivable in a new auto offering.
    1
  682. I would like to know your opinions on no SH-AWD being avalible on the RDX.
    1
  683. Alex on Autos I feel the fact that it is an Acura and not a Honda SH AWD should just be standard. I think it would help brand image since they dont have a rwd platform. I just feel Acura really dont have a direction still. They seem to water their products down more and more. But then again what do i know people lease bmws to the hills and that is the most diluted brand.
    1
  684. Given no real benefit in real world fuel economy, I wish they would have gone with a more stout V8 and sacrifice a little torque for sound
    1
  685. ***** you actually hit it right on the head! Especially that tacky grille
    1
  686. like all Nissan and Infiniti products, dated as hell
    1
  687. +Android602715 No exactly that. The interiors need updating. I also wish they would restore the old nomeclature and the manual option in the g37 which is the q50? now. I love the 5.6L V8 but wish it was still avalible in the FX suv. Infiniti just seems to be very very slow to update and no desire to attract enthusists anymore. I use to look at them as the Japan BMW which was a good thing. Now all the nissans are CVTs or a Z thats price has inflated to Porsche territory and G35 now cost as much as an Audi R8 (stretching a little but you see what im saying) I bought, owned and loved 2 350Z cars brand new. My mom had a Juke whose CVT puked after 6k. I see or saw potential and i dont think the people in charge care about the brands sporty side anymore.
    1
  688. I do miss the styling of the sharp rear end of the V70
    1
  689. You forgot to mention the tow rating is lowest in class. The wording you chose was interesting. Only talking about the highest owing rating of all base trims but not about the optional engines in the others that blow the Titans rating out of the water.
    1
  690. blitzbbffl this along with if traction and stability control can be fully defeated.
    1
  691. +Alex On Autos have you driven the F Pace? I have and the handling is so much better than this Land Rover. Also the 2.0 Diesal in the F Pace is great. Looking forward to your review on the F Pace
    1
  692. I believe they just recalled the 2liter unit it because the engine was seizing. Yeah Kia reliability right there
    1
  693. @Alex On Autos does this still ridem9n the Nissan FM platform as the G35 did?
    1
  694. Tech Defender was wondering the same.
    1
  695. thought the same
    1
  696. if this came with AWD I could see it stealing 3 row SUV sales. As is, nothing new here. Same old same
    1
  697. Shocked this doesn't have and LSD or 8 speed auto like all of its competition
    1
  698. Wow shocked at your handling comment. Very impressive for Hyundai. I think I would still choose the Volt because 9.8 0to60 is dangerous in my book, this is a decent attempt by Hyundai to copy the Prius
    1
  699. this and the Rogue (normal version?) need updated drivetrains horribly. Add to that 1990s infotainment system, just animal offerings by Nissan per usual. They will put a ton of cash on the hood of these and that's the only reason they would sell. I would even recommend the Mitsubishi SUV over this simply because that does have applecarplay, etc. Nissan is a joke.
    1
  700. connor Piper agree. Honestly the twin charged engine is great. Reliability is where I question. Hard to believe they figured out something no one else in the industry has but Im hoping im wrong. However basic knowledge will tell you that more moving points create greater chances of failure.
    1
  701. Bad Drivers of Northern Virginia that car causes blindness though. Let's not make Alex look at that albatross
    1
  702. Is the Civic lighter that the Soul?
    1
  703. Acura still sells the RLX?
    1
  704. Matt Pfeffer no
    1
  705. @AlexOnAutos I think the biggest issue Genesis has going for it is the fact that you have to go to a Hyundai dealer. I would rather go to a Toyota or VW dealer than Hyundai. The other is reliability. The 3.3T engine has been having major mechanical issues. A couple Hyundai Service Techs told me of the horror stories and say the engine lasts about 10k miles before major issues arise.
    1
  706. Ronald de Rooij I was shocked as well but the service tech even showed me one of the blown blocks. Generally Kia is more reliable than Hyundai as they are always a year later than Hyundai with implementing new drivetrain.
    1
  707. the Fiesta ST has the same torsion rear suspension, correct?
    1
  708. Love and appreciate that they gave it HID lighting. Huge selling point to me as I drive in dusk a lot. Really impressive vehicle for the price
    1
  709. Alex does the engine note sound good though? Curious if better than R8 or 911 sound
    1
  710. dysonlu​ Im sorry, I honestly dont understand what you are conveying. Are you saying I actually want an auto trans even though I want a manual?
    1
  711. Akhil Bolla is that the one with the tacky pull buttons in the center dash for the transmission?
    1
  712. Am I the only one that sees Gonzos (Sesame Street) face on these new Acuras? Granted I watch a lot of SS with my lip guy but I am not feeling this styling direction any more than the last face
    1
  713. Nissan dates all there cars with that horrible chrome grill. Just tacky
    1
  714. So wait, the EPA doesn't test trucks or Semis?! That's outrageous. Why doesn't every green person complain about that than about a Hemi V8?
    1
  715. smurf131cr couldn't agree more.
    1
  716. Thomas Loftus wha?
    1
  717. Great review as always but please no more ev reviews for awhile. I feel like we have had at least a month straight of ev reviews. I watch them because Alex always makes it informative but these vehicles are not where it's at.
    1
  718. The Mountain Garden Completely get it. Like I said, you legitimately do the best car reviews and I always learn something. I like budget sports cars and I still watch your EVs reviews because you are that good in my opinion. Keep up the great work my friend. Love your reviews.
    1
  719. those interior door plastics are horrid
    1
  720. John Capozzi why would they? It's called a mustang
    1
  721. Im all about the XC90 but would wait to see how the turbo/suoercharged 4 cylinder holds up over time. Thats my biggest concern.
    1
  722. An interesting match up wpu,d be to see if the GSF is faster to 60mph than the V8 5L G80
    1
  723. I actually think this is the most hp in a vehicle without a mechanical LSD. Brake LSD also don't count. I like having brake pads and the mechanical LSD allows speed while correcting. Less jerky,ect..
    1
  724. N Pooch okay that would make sense. For some reason I thought Alex said 200 hp to each axle
    1
  725. Alex on Autos wait, Alex, what is correct? 87hp max to the rear?
    1
  726. Alex on Autos ooooh. Perfect makes sense! Thank you!
    1
  727. Alex on Autos so basically like the Rav4 hybrid
    1
  728. love that color
    1
  729. Hi Alex, off topic of this video so I apologize but any chance you will do a review of the Ford Focus ST or Ford Fiesta ST? I really value your opinion and am very interested on your opinion on these cars. I know you don't get to choose the cars you review but I am just hoping here. Always look forward to your reviews every week. No one does it better imho. Great work.
    1
  730. Steve Wise well said
    1
  731. Isnt the Honda FIT classified as an MPV or minivan? Looks just like a minivan. Didn't realize they call it a hatch. Definelty the ugliest in the group, not the Yaris iA
    1
  732. You are completely wrong. The A7 has a longitudinally,mounted engine. Not fwd.
    1
  733. I don't understand how you don't have a telescoping steering wheel on a brand new 2022 model. Not a fan of that ommision.
    1
  734. SI has a lsd standard unlike this Elantra. Also Hyundai just killed off its manual so this car is dead to me now. Can't believe how ugly they made the exterior on this now. It's the GLI and SI as your only two choices for a proper sports sedan in this segment. Alex single handily trying to kill the ,manual transmission. As always he wants an automatic/dct. Faster does not mean better or more fun

  735. Telluride looks better than the Cadillac XT6 inside and out. Not sure if that's a compliment or a low bar for Kia.
    1
  736. I easily find this to be the most interesting EV coming out. Practical, great range, fast, and great interior. Very impressed until I heard the California bias. I'll pass if they want every state to be like California
    1
  737. tofudogg oh you do design for Honda?
    1
  738. Agree
    1
  739. Mazda CX9 was left off as well. I guess there are just so many that it's hard to touch upon every vehicle in the segment
    1
  740. @Alex On Autos can I borrow your brain? Why does Audi keep the engine so far over the front wheels when it has a longitudinal mounted engine? Meaning why can't they have an add system like BMW or Jaguar where power is sent to the rear and then the front? Is it because of the chasis? Just don't understand why Audi does so much engineering to try to counteract the engine over hang. What am I not understanding? I feel most wpuld prefer a rwd based awd system anyways
    1
  741. Alex on Autos you are seriously the best! Thank you so much for the insight. Love learning from you. Thank you!

  742. Hydrogen is superior tech to standard EVs. The downside is it doesn't have Elon Musk making outlandish promises to make it have fanboys or the infrastructure established
    1
  743. John Donaldson you know I guess it depends in viewpoint, right? While he delivers, he never does it in the timeline he says he will? Which is more important? Not sure. I truely think the 3 will define him. I actually like him. It's just the head over heels fans I can't take. Kind of like fans who only buy Ford ect. Close mindedness I dislike. I will say I would love for his dealershipless car buying experience to prominate throughout the automotive industry.

  744. Saw a Lexus IS the other day in this and I had to pause to look at it. Gorgeous color
    1
  745. The Crosstrek cant even get up to 60mph hahaha
    1
  746. Wow did Hyundai nail the interior. Gorgeous.if this just had a little more torque I think it would be perfect. Very minor complaint though. Great work. Think if the Ford Explorer could have even half as nice of an interior as this. Really shows how unpolished or not caring Ford is about its products and Ford doesn't even make cars now so they have no excuses
    1
  747. The 1.4 turbo eco motor should have been dropped in here. Offer more than the competition, not the average
    1
  748. @Alex on Autos Alex in your example of the climate control, if you have the dual climate control set to 67 and then increase the left upper vent all the way to the highest blue setting (to the left), are you making it colder than the set 67 degrees or simply increasing the fan speed? Confused
    1
  749. Kia Stinger for this price. $42k is ridiculous for a stretched, uglier Camry that is only fwd
    1
  750. If only the IM had hid lights like the Corolla. Also a better engine option would seal the deal for me. Such a missed opportunity by Toyota
    1
  751. Do you understand what a rear engine car is?
    1
  752. Just no. Do that on your Civic Type R instead
    1
  753. Can't think of another vehicle where you can get a $500k super car engine in a $50k vehicle like the F150. Not sure if that's a compliment to the Ford GT or a diss. Very interesting none the less
    1
  754. Sponsored by Buick
    1
  755. Archie Makuwa totally agree. A brand new entry and its worse thean the Civic in every way
    1
  756. A shame it can't cash the check its body kit wrote. Weak engine. False exhaust tips might be the worst trend going right now. Typical Toyota
    1
  757. Cheap Chinese junk. Hate it
    1
  758. So gorgeous and elegant. I would take this over any Bentley given how much nicer the interior is. The Magic Sky is a must have
    1
  759. Alex was really getting excited over an awful car. Toyota fan a bit clearly
    1
  760. If this had a Ford badge people would be gushing over this car.
    1
  761. So would this do quite poor in a modern crash test standards given its 2010 origin? Probably a big deal if you are moving children. Specifically I'm thinking of the small overlap crash test
    1
  762. The TRD version or TRD handling package for the 86 puts wider Michelin PS4 tires and it has grip for days. No need to ever look at the auto only Supra
    1
  763. Those HVAC controls will bring this interior down fast. Straight out of the 90s. The door inserts look like they do not exist. Just awful. Real let down inside
    1
  764. phych it doesn't support it
    1
  765. Sales are down because these are now he size of boats. Had a new accord rental and hated its huge overhangs. Even the Civic is now huge. Hate this trend as there is nothing under the Civic in size. I don't count the minivan fit
    1
  766. Another boring SUV. CVT towing prowlness as well. It's biggest bragging point is 19 cup holders. Ugh
    1
  767. Hate everything about this thing. Heavy and huge. Exactly what a Mini shouldn't be. It also marks the first Mini trim not available with a manual transmission. Another first sadly
    1
  768. Reflector halogens are just terrible. Corolla has LED lamps standard on all trims
    1
  769. This is the car Acura and Buick wishes they could build. KIA is far more impressive than a rebadged Honda Accord or Opel
    1
  770. Hit it on the head. Wouod be great with a 1.5L turbo
    1
  771. Alex when you said $50 to 60k to spend all I think of is Shelby 350GT. Passenger space might be limited though
    1
  772. Sean Gitari because?
    1
  773. Said the Ford salesman
    1
  774. Love this car. Now just add a manual transmission option please Kia
    1
  775. Tully3674 good point! Forgot about Lincoln and agree
    1
  776. Ugly. Also with VW reducing there warranty coverage for 2021 models I personally would not touch one.
    1
  777. David Hill hahaha exactly
    1
  778. Boring and slow. What all Subarus are now becoming. The new Toyota
    1
  779. XP-8 TIM some of the worst. There transmissions are awful
    1
  780. I hate EVs in general but this is just impressive. I love the max min mileage read out. Very impressed by this. Would be curious about how much mileage you lose in an ev in a Midwest winter
    1
  781. laser69beam would love to see this dinosaur burn
    1
  782. WylunCustoms but it is
    1
  783. George Knighton umm explain how the vents in the rear bumper function please? Classic Honda fanboy
    1
  784. Love it. Lexus here's the customers wants of an AWD option but they know it would require them to actually make this car decent so no. Thanks for your concerns but we know you will buy this anyways because Toyota
    1
  785. John Borges its called a minivan
    1
  786. Ford is trying to compete with Tesla...in 2 years. The GT is the only thing impressive here and that's not out until 2021 at best. In the autoworld, that amount of time is huge. Plus given how poor Ford Explorer assembly went im guessing this Mock E will take them awhile to get the bugs worked out. Shame how far behind they are. It's vaporware. Not sure how you can comment on build quality on a one off hand built car you saw
    1
  787. 10/10 rear seat comfort and his head is touching in every seat in the hybrid......
    1
  788. Durango SRT over this truck. Also it's always a plus to me to Not be driving the same car as the cops. Finally, no one off roads $80k suvs
    1
  789. Earl Painter idiot
    1
  790. What is the as tested price on this? Would help to understand how far off this is with options to the GLC43. Apologies if I missed this.
    1
  791. Incredibly fascinating. Apologies if you mentioned it, but how many square feet is your house?
    1
  792. Wow! That is perfect now!! Just match the volume to the rest of the video and its perfect
    1
  793. Alex the new Avalon did not have Android Auto. Just Apple Carplay
    1
  794. Will Moon if you talk to any engineers, which I do at work, they will all tell you to avoid it. The hybrid drivetrains specially
    1
  795. Will Moon it's actually amazing they even got the hybrid layout they employ to even work let alone be reliable. I personally would want the ability to send all of the engines power to the awd system and not a small percentage of power. If you can lease it I would have a different option as the same way I view Alfa. Just don't plan on it being reliable
    1
  796. chris a my momhada 2014 3.2L and had two transmissions and sold it with 22k miles on the odometer. She said after the dealer did the tsb the transmission got worse. She got rid of it for the new Sportage SX and never looked back.
    1
  797. Passthedutch 9890 thank you. I'm happy my mom loves it so much. It's faster than the Cherokee which was her main attraction. I do know that she misses U Connect for some things but likes the Kia breaks out the heated seats buttons out of the infotainment system. Also love the 6 speed. Cheers
    1
  798. greentjmtl no XT line for the new Forester ☹
    1
  799. Not giving it an lsd is cheap on Hyundai and very disappointing. Power is going to be cut by traction control and be neutered completely negating the benefit of power. Boo
    1
  800. Then again we have the Camaro, Challenger, and Corvette soo. Honestly the only one I want from overseas is the new Fiesta St
    1
  801. It's sad to me that Alfa can put out a superior car all new from the ground up better than the Cadillac ATS that has been left to die. The ATS has become worst in segment. Hats off to Alfa on bringing out such a fresh package.wished it had a manual option but overall impressed.
    1
  802. Unreliable junk. When your front wheels are doing a burnouts/torque steering, that's not luxury. This T8 design is poorly programmed and just not enough power in the rear. That twin charged over boosted four cylinder will not make it through the warranty period.
    1
  803. So wait, I thought the 43s did not have a hand crafted motor?
    1
  804. Alex on Autos hey you have forgotten more auto knowledge then I will ever know Alex so you are more than allowed to have a slip of the tongue. I just wanted to confirm as I have always heard these are not "real" amg products because the engines are not hand built, which I agree with somewhat. That metal placque with a Germans name on it is pretty special
    1
  805. Yay!! Actual fun cars on Ales on Autos. This is a rarity. Loved it. The Veloster N sounds so good! Sad I'm too much torso for the ND Miata sadly. I'm all about light weight so I would take the slower car if it brakes and handles better.
    1
  806. Umm the Rouge Sport gets worse real world fuel economy to the larger Rogue
    1
  807. David Malinovsky Mazda is a sliver of a company compared to Toyota. It's not fair to compare. The Rav4 sells more annually than all of Mazda sales in the year
    1
  808. Given everyone who ow s one, butches it up more by adding even larger tires, this thing is glacial slow in its fastest trim....
    1
  809. Really ugly exterior, really gorgeous interior, weak powertrains, and great tech. Emotionally there is nothing in the new Sonata that makes me like it. Feature wise, it's and all star. Shame Hyundai interprets this as attractive (exterior). I don't care for how complicated Hyundai has made the 1.6L Turbo engine on this with its new continuous valve system. Too many part to go wrong
    1
  810. Tom Gaydos are you saying it should have and LSD or does? One of my dealerships is Infiniti and I can assure no redline has a LSD in ot

  814.  @IReahpZz  couldn't have did it better
    1
  815. Shame that FCA build quality and components are absolute trash. Would never buy a Jeep unless I love the dealerships waiting room. Craig Cole's experience with this tells me all I need to know
    1
  816. bird718 get an Avalon then grandpa
    1
  817. So does the Escape compete with the HRV then following your size logic?
    1
  818. I dislike this design langjage shown here by Hyundai. I will avoid them if this travels across all there products. Very cartoony.
    1
  819. We really need to habe special licencing for vehicles this big. We do for trucks. I don't want a soccer mom who can't see over the wheel taking me out in my car. So many bad driver's in these weapons just cutting people off
    1
  820. Super affordable..crazy
    1
  821. V12 😍😍😍😍 all I have to say. Amazing
    1
  822. How is something this bad ever considered "luxury*? Hope Infiniti goes out of business. Center console looks like it was done by Best Buy
    1
  823. Mercedes has already confirmed they we not doing a GLB45.
    1
  824. Michael Johns I feel bad for your wife
    1
  825. Love the rwd, exterior, and interior. The interior is a work of art. Outstanding job on this. The steering wheel amd wood work are timeless. Would definelty take over the Germans.
    1
  826. Right Lane Hog get a prius then if that's all you care about. Sad
    1
  827. John Huff you are actually incorrect on all points.
    1
  828. Alex when you talk about curb weight, can you either list it in the drive review section or say the actual weight out loud so we can know what it is? Apologies if I missed it somewhere
    1
  829. Crazy price jump just for leather. $4k. Personally I'd just get the better performing Honda Civic hand save $7k. That A lot of gas you could buy for $7k. I do think this is ,such better looking than the ugly Civic though
    1
  830. Martin Espinoza see fiesta ST. Torsion beam rear suspension
    1
  831. This teaches you, when you can't compete head on with the competition, go in between. Makes it hard to review it properly. I wouldn't want to do it
    1
  832. @Jonathan A totally agree
    1
  833. A 4 cylinder just doesnt cut it in the size of vehicle pf the XC90. Its not luxury to have an engine whining and overworked just to try to get the car going. There is a reason this is one of the most unreliable vehicles
    1
  834. Justin's Pit Lane I would say that about all SUVs honestly. Boring in everyway
    1
  835. How much can you lower or raise the suspension?
    1
  836. MicPenedor more than double actually
    1
  837. The Lexus IS looks to be complete trash. A prius that is raised. At most will have 200hp. Definitely not looking forward to its release. FWD slow
    1
  838. No Android Auto and a very weak engine has me not interested at all. Honda Civic for me
    1
  839. Build it please!!
    1
  840. My conspiracy theory is Alex hate manual transmissions. Truth. Alex wants DCT everything
    1
  841. Chao Hong Li Elantra Sport is better. They did nice updates to the Sport while the VT has not been updated.
    1
  842.  @buildmorefarms1007  and fwd based. God are you really that dense?
    1
  843. Dingo Genesis GV80 with more user friendly tech, a 3.5TT engine, and a 10 year warranty unlike this overly complicated Volov and it's fwd torque steer which just insnt luxury
    1
  844. Tesla's paint is such junk. Malfunctioning window gasket would annoy me to no end. Tesla makes Land Rover look reliable
    1
  845. Pontiac Aztek Fiat Multipla according to who? It's had problems since day one
    1
  846. Pontiac Aztek Fiat Multipla it's not reliable. It's a brand new engine. This isn't your dads Lexus. You Toyota fan boys. So uninformed
    1
  847. Coraga 1 wow fwd record...cool bro
    1
  848. Coraga 1 hey what time did you put down at the ring? You know because you keep talking about it
    1
  849. Erick Mendez i wasnt even responding to you? What?
    1
  850. joescivic how many times do you go to the ring every week? What was your best lap time? Lap times on the ring are the only thing that matter.....only thing
    1
  851. joescivic i didnt say you were incorrect but tried to introduce context. Ring times are based on driver skills, weather cinditions, traffic, ect. The GTI Clubsport S put down a very similar lap time as well. I the the civic is a great driving vehicle. The styling is offensive and ruins the car in my opinion. That said i think its a great drive. I would go rwd and sacrafice a ring lap time record that means nothing to me
    1
  852. Alot of money just to get a engine that moves it. Honestly though this segment is quite weak so the Outback looks good on paper. Blazer is a joke and the Santa Fe which I love is underpowered. Jeep GC is the only rwd based SUV here and my choice, but only for the length of the warranty
    1
  853. Alex you do such a thorough job in hour reviews with all the data points its so greatly appreciated, but I was hoping you might consider posting the curb weight of said vehicles in future reviews? Really the only bit of information that's missing that is important in my opinion.
    1
  854. Talk about slicing the bread thin. Just get a CX5
    1
  855. I would take the luxurious looking Accord over the campy TLX all day. Better interior amd tech in the Accord as well. Absolutely agree with Alex's view point vs the competition
    1
  856. yoyomaster if this question is related to me it's how the engine is mounted along with the routing of the drive shaft. A Nissan GT-R is more RWD by nature due to having the driveshaft ran to the rear differential first, then another driveshaft off of that differential to the front differential. This makes it AWD but the rear gets the power first and then sends upfront what it can't handle. A Volvo has a horizontal mounted engine that has the power going directly to the front wheels. There is then a drive shaft going to the rear. Meaning the front wheels receive the power first and ten divert to the rear wheels, thus it is FWD based. Not all AWD systems are equal. The Jag F Pace is rwd based for an SUV example. Hope that clarifies a little.
    1
  857. Alex does this render you Kia Soul EV worthless? Resale value has to be hurt by the new Soul EV, no?
    1
  858. So does the newer Mach E do better than the Model Y other then wind noise? Not trying to be critical of Ford but it sounds like the Model Y is still better even though this is close? Obviously the Ford should hopefully have better build quality on production cars.
    1
  859. No BMW sounds half way as good as this Hellcat
    1
  860. schmo7777 agree completely. This was made for the Nissan buyers who shop strictly on size and price. Nothing good about this vehicle formthe NA market.
    1
  861. Mario Dalla Riva because bros
    1
  862. Eco box styling ruins it. Only the Polo and Mini Cooper can have eco boxes look like a premium car on the outside. This, The Fit, and the Fiesta all look like cheap eco boxes due to the rear fender styling. They have an unusual amount of metal to glass ratio. Very ugly looking. Looks like it's on stilts
    1
  863. So ugly and dated. Hate the new front angry bird grill. This is overpriced at$50k let alone $60k. The Honda Accord has better tech and interior. This top trim leather seats look pathetic. Lincoln, Lexus, Audi, Mercedes, Kia, Gensis, Jeep, etc all have nicer seats
    1
  864. doccyber no that would be a Tesla with custom liescene plates
    1
  865. It's cars like this and the Volt which really makes me wonder why anyone would want an ev. Amazing bang for buck
    1
  866. Nissan TitanWarrior agree!
    1
  867. 1betterthanyou1 explain the fake vents in the rear bumper for me? How is thag function?
    1
  868. Great engine, awful exterior styling and wheel selection. Wish the exhaust made a noise for having 3 outlets. Honda fans will love it regardless and pay the $15k markup. I truely believe this is the ugliest car in production surpassing the Toyota Prius, congrats Honda

  869. Robin. Sam exactly my thoughts as well

  870. gghostrrider different bed configs?

  876. Does the Fiat 500 or Honda Fit not compete in this category? No mention of it here
    1
  877. A Yates torque steer is neat
    1
  878. Yup the China Envision is great........😂🤣
    1
  879. Too slow, too ugly, for too much money. 28k is crazy
    1
  880. The front seat score should be a 1 out of 10. Those are the most unforgivable seats on any modern car available today. Reminds me of my Model T seats. Giving these seats a 5 is so passive it's frustrating as this was the real breaker for this vehicle. Buyer be very aware
    1
  881. They should have given this a LSD or awd. Way too much power through the front wheels
    1
  882. Alex does the e drive rob horsepower from the engine like a supercharge since its driven off the belts? @Alex on Autos
    1
  883. wayne owen the belt drives the electric motor. Alex agreed with me. This was discussed on Facebook
    1
  884. Kia Stinger or G70 over this all day. Not sure how you give the Arteon "A"s in all categories when its really a "B" student
    1
  885. @Alex On Autos why no Nissan Juke comparison? This is by far your worst review I've seen. You leave out a direct competitor, then state the CHR is the best value. I value a nice interior, powerful engine, nice infotainment, and hid headlights. The CHR has none of these. All it has is safety tech. Somehow you think that the CHR is a better value than the Soul just because it has safety tech. I could care less about safety tech as I know how to drive. I don't understand you take at all.

  886. David Malinovsky seeing is important when driving

  887. Zuriel Briones oh well I guess you are the law.
    1
  888. That's called a GTI. A Buick is when you have one year left to live
    1
  889. Absolute junk if I'm being honest. Fwd, tech from the 90s, and slow as sin. Women love saying they drive a Lexus though so it will sell. I mean they give you a pull out vanity mirror by the cups holders. Shameful. No idea what you money is going towards when the Rav4 is better. Personally I would buy the X340i or Alfa Stelvio Ti
    1
  890. A 4 cylinder is just not enough for something this large. The hybrid isn't enough for proper dynamic. Would not touch this vehicle
    1
  891. Great vehicle but the front face is horrible. It's like they can't do good styling. They only do boring or crazy styling. There's no middle.ground. The lost of the 2L turbo.daddy's me especially as only the N line will have the 2.5L turbo. The N line will have an overly harsh suspension like a N lines and is you only expensive option just to get over 200hp. Again, no middle ground or non N Line powerful option.
    1
  892. Between all the EVs and SUVs recently reviewed I'm becoming very depressed. So boring

  893. Guy looking at the Subaru Forester looks just like it's target audience

  895. Max Ratmirov Thank you friend!

  896. theodorekell it only needs two. One in my opinion. The Clubman and the hybrids need to go. Focus on making a reliable Countryman for the women and a reliable Cooper for the drivers
    1
  897. Alex Varela if you ever sat in a F Pace, the interior quality is the worst in this segment. I'd take anything over the plasticy Jag
    1
  898. Love Alex but he shouldn't review sports cars. Just unnatural and looks very uncomfortable. It should be compared to the C7 Corvette
    1
  899. Ruined by that awful Nissan CVT
    1
  900. The horrid touch pad interface needs to be banned from automotive. Dangerously bad. Add to that fwd only andmthey couldn't even be bother to offer a LSD to tame the wheel hop. If you really want a Toyota, get the Avalon with the touch screen. It will save your life
    1
  901. Fahed Sayed pretty sure he picks Volvo for every segment it has an entry for, Nissan Kicks for small cuv, and Lexus ES350 for sports car 😉
    1
  902. I really dislike Volvo . That said this is easily the best in class and even further. They have made me a believer. Just an outstanding job. Given the 4 cylinder only powertrain for all of their models, it really thrives in this smaller size segment
    1
  903. Its Me but it's price translates to Audi A4 mid trim levels
    1
  904. Alex you are wrong about the tprwue vectoring awd drive system. The Kia Slortage SX has had it for years.
    1
  905. Toyota has been boring but that is for tech and powertrain. Now they ruined the looks instead. Taking the cheap way out. The drop off going from Camry to Corolla is substantial
    1
  906. xNuckin_Futs that's actually statistically inaccurate. It can send 70% of the power to each wheel. Or 100% of the 70%. Alfa, Jag, BMW, and Mercedes seen 100% to the rear and it's not in rare occurrences like the fwd Honda.
    1
  907. No idea how you can compare this to a fwd sedan. This is one of the few great RWD cars left. 6.4L V8 is fantastic. Would own one if it had a manual option with one of its V8s. Challenger has that but I really wanted a door to get to my child seat. Ugh.
    1
  908. The Adventure Mazda try the Elantra Sport, very competitive to the 3 I think

  909. Clearly got them real cheap

  915. Cory Stansbury to your point though, the MB CLS is the same setup as far as edrive as the ram?

  916. Dislike it. Was hoping it would be a traditional hatch and not this lift back. Frustrating. Rear lift back remind me of a Model 3. I do like the new "hatch" wheel design more than the sedans

  917. Red is way more preferred than amber

  919. Agree. Its a Camry for a lot more money and a little more room. Odd ball with the Lexus ES being priced similar
    1
  920. Yup Infiniti is going out of business in 4 years. CVTs, 1.5L hybrids, and EV prototypes that no one wants. Good luck. I'm out
    1
  921. AqWE is what makes it faster than the Type R, not the transmission alone. Honda has Ito limit the power in first year due to wheel spin which doesn't happen with awd. Get off your soapbox for the dct everything. FWD vs AWD in a drag race is not an apples to apples comparison. See WRX STI

  922. That Jeep really is goofy looking from the side. Can't believe how heavy and expensive the Jeep is as well. I'd take the Ranger

  923. Hilarious that the braking distance on the Armada and base Model 3 are about the same.

  924. Bahahaha what?!

  925. skifree I simplified my statement for internet purposes. You are definitely correct on the difference in the turbo however note that none of the difference s had to do with the block or piston rings. Talked to various service engineers and Honda reps about this. I would not time the SI engine any further. The block is not there for it. Look at all the tranny problems they are having in the new type r. This is not going to be a Honda product of the prior years
    1
  926. skifree oh no worries. You could also be correct. Maybe you can get a lot of power out of it no problem. I'm just regurgitating what a Honda engineer told me. Also my dad's MDX tranny went at 20k so I am with you on that one. Cheers

  928. I wanted IRS and AWD options for the Soul and Kia did neither. Honestly I'm very underwhelmed by this offering and think the CVT was a move backwards. Halogen lights still in 2019. They then priced the turbo as a Veloster N base pricing. Just not sure what they are trying to accomplish other than make the take rate in the turbo trim so low they can kill it off
    1
  929. Raman Deol that's what I thought. Alex said the 43 is hand built though. Confused now
    1
  930. Poor engine performance, bad fuel economy, no utility, black cave for rear seat occupants, dated tech, and no HID lights which can be had In the Corolla. Pointless vehicle in my opinion. Kia Soul Turbo is much more appealing for these fwd only things. 9.5 for a fwd only vehicle..... dangerously slow
    1
  931. David Malinovsky actually no you just cause deaths by pulling out in front of people making them brake. You are a disease. Get over yourself
    1
  932. Todd Medium Wellington III because it'sa fwd Honda? Who are you fooling?
    1
  933. xNuckin_Futs shawd is not the same as RWD based awd. The Germans are not based off of a fwd platform. When Acura starts mounting there engines logitudinal I might care.
    1
  934. Todd Medium Wellington III they have longitudinal mounted engines so it depends on the application. Either way I said nothing good about Audi.
    1
  935. Todd Medium Wellington III yup so is BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes so.....

  936. Steve Wise nope

  937. Really love the interior! That wood trim is gorgeous. The exterior is sleek and very attractive. I love it. Would def8netly take it over a Cadillac, Acura, Buick, ect.
    1
  938. Nick Hall Supra is said to max out near 60 to 70k due to Z4 pricing. Not 90k
    1
  939. Yikes
    1
  940. Amazing that the GTI Clubsport S can put down a nearly identical lap time and have 90% less ugly than this Civic
    1
  941. For $100k im going Cayman GT4. The "Track" edition is still a whale and so overpriced. Could also go Alfa Giulia Q.V. and save money and have a much better driver
    1
  942. No manual and its not rwd based. Really makes me miss the CTS V Wagon
    1
  943. How is the paint and body panel fitment?
    1
  944. In summary, a slow and dated engine, clunky transmission, bad fuel economy, and horrible reliability. Yup this is definelty a FCA product. Buy a Camry over this
    1
  945. KOLT we get it, you cant drive. Sad
    1
  946. David Wolf agree greatly
    1
  947. I take it this video was done before the reveal of the new GLS
    1
  948. Thought the same thing. The original VT had gorgeous headlights. Also don't like the halogen and halogen warm color led DRL
    1
  949. This would be my commuter if only it had a manual transmission option. Damn you Boryota
    1
  950. Looks fantastic inside and out. Really love the design. This is the first EV in this price range that I would buy. 18 minutes on 800V sounds great
    1
  951. Avalon with a worse interface. FWD is never luxury. Eww and pass. The Town Car redux. E an all the cars in the luxury competition are RWD or AWD standard.
    1
  952. Very interesting. Loved the knowledge here. Thank you!
    1
  953. So Alex won't review a Subaru WRX STI or Mustang GT because they aren't "mainstream" or "high volume" yet we review a Honda Clarity twice, which might sell 300 units a year......🤔
    1
  954. William Erazo 6k. Wow. It's the new F150..... My point is still valid
    1
  955. Alex is the tire selection on the CX5 a play for fuel economy? Seems weird that they would sacrifice braking for 1mpg. Unless it's way cheaper for them to buy small profiles?
    1
  956. John Allen I don't understand what you are trying to say
    1
  957. Alex on Autos I was going to say. Germans HP is at the wheels while everyone else's numbers are at the crank
    1
  958. Alex stop,saying the Toyota Rav4 hybrid is a "zero compromises" . That's factually incorrect. The hybrid looses the mechanical AWD and the power to the rear wheels is greatly diminished. The petrol only Rav4 AWD system is far superior in every way compared to,the Hybrid. Stop being so misleading to your audience
    1
  959. In all seriousness, I would sacrifice that tenth of a second gained on the ring time to loose the aero and gain a normal looking Civic with that powertrain. Ring times are such a joke to anyone who has every driven there. Way to many variable to comparable.

  960. Lionnel L death

  961. Another lifted bro dozer for the masses. These will just clog up the expressway. Yay

  962. Marco Cordero it's terrible. No reference needed. Off road vehicles are terrible on road. Common sense
    1
  963. I know I'm in the minority, but prefer the loot the narrow body prior to this. This doesn't look good with the flares
    1
  964. Alex does the SI have different tire package than the Civic sport? Maybe that is the difference in acceleration and braking score?
    1
  965. Wow that interior is nice. Not just for a truck wither. Just wow
    1
  966. Surorised they havent put the Jeep Trackhawks powertrain in this yet. Strangely 475hp sound quite weak when looking at the Trackhawk
    1
  967. John Ramsey LS actually is what they based the styling on. Nothing on the RC
    1
  968. I will say that braking score is crazy impressive. Very nice
    1
  969. Wade Higgins same. This is an Avalon. Not luxury
    1
  970. Kia priced the Turbo engine too high ensuring a low take rate and the ability to kill it off faster. Sad Kona 1.6L T would be my pick as for the same price, you get IRS and AWD
    1
  971. Please stop quoting Toyota North America Marketing. There 50% rate is laughable as they are essentially making an excuse for not offering awd because the aren't trying to get the other 50% of buyers? Whh not go for 100%? I would also love to see the data on that as I am sure the are not including the bigger offerings in the segment as this came out years ago and the market has changed greatly with larger awd offerings. This is just one example of marketing spin that Alex subjects us to in this video that feels like, shock, a Toyota ad. Not a fan of this video as I know you can do so much better and not resort to making excuses for every short coming.

  972. Hunchback. I like the prior gen much more. Plus the lack of IRS is a much bigger deal to me as an old had a fan the Mazda PR tries to spin it. The Civic drives much better than this and that wasn't the case with the prior gen. Given the cheaper price, lighter weight, and exact same power, the prior gen is a better driving car in everyway. This was step backwards. Interior is amazing but for the price, the "Mazdaness" is sacrificed. It's too slow and has too much shiney black plastic inside for its price tag and claim of being "premium".

  973. Edmund Benaojanovic yeah pickup sales are really hurting..........
