  1. Why is Infiniti still in business? The haven't made a decent vehicle since the G35??

  2. At 6'4", I find that the Kia Soul has great leg and headroom. I'm also mobility inpaired, and find that the huge doors ease ingress. Great review, Dave. New subscriber. 👍

  5. Had a rental Rouge Sport for a week trip to Vegas. The CVT was rubber band-like, easily confused, and gave off a burning smell in stop n go traffic. Oh, and the rear hatch rattled the entire time. I returned it and complained. The rental agency only charged me half of the bill because they said they've had a lot of complaints about the Rouge Sport rear hatch rattling or simply popping open because the hatch latch breaks easily. No wonder Nissan is on the edge of bankruptcy.

  6. The Soul is a great car for the mobility impaired. It's small enough to be parked in city spaces, and the doors are huge. The hip-point for the seats is high, which is great with the big tall doors. Also, folding the rear seats is easy with one hand. The cargo area floor is adjustable (you can make the load floor pretty flat) so it's fairly easy to get a mobility device or an average sized power chair in the cargo area, and the hatch lip is low for loading stuff. 🚶♿

  9. All those lurking CVT failures for those Nissan buyers... 😄😁😆😅🤣

  10. These Tahoe SUVs are everywhere in Arizona. Even the police use them.

  11. Perfect car-share vehicle. The Prius SCREAMS Uber car nowadays... Uber/Lyft riders laugh at Prius.... it's got a image problem. A hybrid Corolla sedan is less "Uber driver" looking. The Camry hybrid is even better. People equate Prius with ride share....

  12. Nice review, Dave. I see a lot of older (empty nesters?) couples here in Scottsdale driving Encores. During the acceleration test, the interior seems loud. How was noise/vibration/harshness in this Buick, And I love the blue paint, classy!

  13. Its a slightly decontented Lexus

  14. The CVT has already been recalled on the Corolla due to pump failures from transmission overheating and leaks. Toyota reliability could take a hit because of the CVT problems.... 😕

  15. Cadenza and K900??? I dont think I've EVER seen one of them in the wild

  16. Car vandalism and theft of car contents in Phoenix. The meth heads will bust out a side window to steal a cheap pair of drugstore sunglasses or steal 75 cents in change from the console. A friend has a gym bag filled with dirty laundry stolen from her Cherokee, after the moron busted out the back window and destroyed the headliner. Drug addicts. 💉💉💊💊💉💉

  17. Dave, load floor in the cargo hold adjusts to make the load for level, but it reduces total cargo space. The DCT is a DRY clutch, so owners should be prepared to replace the clutch. Its really an automated manual transmission. A S trim model is the sweet spot, at $20,500

  18. This made in Red China SUV is very quiet on the interstate, with a smooth ride and good high speed stability. It is not very thrilling to drive, with mediocre handling on twisty roads and not enough power for hill climbing. It is very comfortable, with a good driving position and a fairly roomy rear seat. I put 600 miles on a rental Envision, and felt it was fine for the non-enthusiast driver. It's a tall station wagon, with Buick quiet tuning...

  19. Best looking crossover that GM currently builds. Thanks for the review, Dave. 👍👍

  20. Common reason for retail new vehicle stagnation ---- $50k plus prices! An AWD Escape might be OK, but Ford is about to kill that model off.😮

  21. Good review, fellas As for the Cadillac, I'd buy a Mazda CX-5 Signature turbo for a few bucks more than the BASE version of this Caddy More better value proposition and better resale value.

  22. Dave, the game from the 80s with the trackball was "Missile Command". Love that LS. What a beautiful car.

  23. Like this format, Dave. Thanks for the review.

  24. Very handsome sedan. Reminds me of a older BMW 3 series. REAR USB PORTS MADZA PLEASE!! Ohhh, maybe a panoramic roof too?? And better, more customer centric dealerships. Your dealership network needs better training and personnel. SERIOUSLY.

  25. Pure awesomeness, dude. Still rather have a Kia Soul S over the Mazda2/Yaris for more interior and cargo space. ("Mazdota???") WTH does Mazda lock out the darn touchscreen when the car is in motion? The front passenger is often using the screen, not the driver. And that catfish looking GRILL!! Ugh....

  26. Think it looks like a shrunken Sonata, again. Thinking that the new generation Kia Soul is a better buy, if you like the boxier styling. I happen to like it. Good review, Nolan! Woof!! 😉

  27. The 3 hatchback looks rather Alfa-Romeo-ish. Like the overall look, interior is very nicely done, but the lack of an independent rear suspension kinda sucks.

  28. A new generation 86/BRZ is coming out within a year...

  29. A great car to drive, a terrible car to own once the warranty is up. Consider leasing and not buying

  30. Lots of discontinued models or replacement by a brand new generation.

  31. Smart. Let the original owner take the big depreciation hit😅

  32. Looks like a shorter taller Ford Flex.

  33. Love the real shift lever and the cool looking seat fabrics

  34. Way too fast, Dave. Take a breather!

  36. Pathetic acceleration

  37. What a gaping gash of a grille. Horrendous. I actually told Hertz that I didn't want one as a rental, and took a Taurus instead. Seriously.

  38. From a gas guzzling environmental disaster to a eco-friendly all electric vehicle. Hummer has a lot to overcome.

  39. Boring styling and iffy reliability. LEASE, do not buy. Depreciation is ferocious.

  42. Dave, great review. The Soul is a great crossover for the urban environment, and for drivers with mobility impairments. A power chair will easily fit in the cargo hold, and a Walker or knee scooter will also fit. The hip point for the seats are high and easy to ingress/egress. Importantly, the doors are huge making access easier. I recently drove an S version of the Soul, it was fine power-wise with the 2.0 NA engine in city/suburban driving.... and much more reasonable in sticker price the GT versions.

  43. Surprisingly the Alfa Romeo Giulia isnt on the list. A friend bought one on impulse because it looked so sexy.... spent a LOT of time in dealership service between recalls and break/fixes. He just traded it for a loaded new Ram crew cab.... which he loves and has been trouble-free.

  44. Hyundai Santa Fe, please.... with the 2.5L turbo

  45. Jeep Cherokee and Renegade have both been quietly canceled by Stellantis. 😮
