  1. The new GLA has all of the visual appeal of an Idaho potato.
    62
  2. Prefer the Jaguar-esque styling of the Venza.... it's a budget Lexus

  3. Andrea is awesome, and very articulate in her driving experiences. You two are super cute together!
    42
  4. I just have to say "relationship goals". You two are awesome together, and offer very comprehensive advice in your reviews.

  5. Higher trim models should have a V6 for that asking price 😮
    26
  6. Definitely the round headlamps 😊
    23
  7. Gimmicks, Gimmicks, Gimmicks. The hard-edged exterior really reminds me of the Hyundai Elantra. The overuse of gloss black plastics is inexcusable on a $100k vehicle. 😮😢

  8. Love the CX90 and its elegant interior. Stunning color in artisan red. Waiting for the CX70 personally.
    21
  9. What a good looking machine. Glad that the transmission shifting is much smoother.
    21
  10. Team Andrea with the CX30. Besides the power of the 2.5T engine, the Mazda looks drop-dead gorgeous in soul red. 😊

  11. Love EVERYTHING about the evolutionary X3. The traditional German styling is classy and elegant. The interior is businesslike and functional. All of the well heeled millennial types want flashy style and Wizz bang interior infotainment. I'm a driver, I want straightforward controls and great vehicle dynamics. The price tag with the packages is OBSCENE, though I love the X3.

  12. Definitely interested more in the Mazda because of the elegant exterior styling and the premium interior materials and look. Great review as always 😊
    14
  13. A electric "compliance" vehicle. Needs a vastly increased range, but the interior is gorgeous. Well done review, as always 👏
    14
  14. I'll take a RAV4 hybrid for the excellent resale value and the durability of the Toyota hybrid powertrain. As Zack says "it's the bank of Toyota". Always enjoy your work, guys! 👍
    13
  15. Holy interior panels gaps.... Do better, Ford. I'll go for a Telluride or even a hybrid Highlander. Towing capability goes to the Ford IF you need it.
    13
  16. Excellent comparison review and extremely HONEST! The Subaru styling is something only a mother could love, while I find the CX50 quite attractive. The Mazda's geared automatic seals the deal with me versus the Subie's CVT. Always enjoy your work, guys!!

  17. Very handsome and elegant Buick. The interior is especially well-done on the Avenir trim.
    12
  18. My favourite in its class. Best friend has one and they absolutely love it... even in mid-spec trim. Of course, he now wants a CX5 Turbo.... Thanks for the upload, very nicely done as always
    12
  19. Definitely a vehicle to LEASE. Depreciation is horrendous 😫
    12
  20. Midsized trucks? My pick is the Frontier for that big standard V6
    12
  21. Zach, thanks for the lightning fast update. Styling wise, I still prefer the elegance of the Venza. Too much surface "filigree" here.... but excited to hear about an BEV Tundra!! Thanks 😊
    11
  22. The new Ocean Gem paint color is fire 🔥
    11
  23. Great review as always. The styling is very overwrought. I'd rather have the top level Jaguar-esque Toyota Venza hybrid.
    11
  24. Very nice interior! 😊
    10
  25. You two are the best. Funny, knowledgeable, and informative. Love the channel. 😊
    10
  26. Still laughing at the "throw in the white boots" closing. Informative and entertaining as always! Beautiful BMW
    10
  27. Beautiful, especially in that red. I'll take a 2L Turbo Titanium
    10
  28. A new CX90 would be my first choice, followed by the Telluride. Six cylinder powertrains.
    10
  29. Zack, I completely agree with your viewpoint that we need an EV for the masses at a reasonable price. Perhaps a VW I.D.3 is an answer for that problem 🤔
    9
  30. Definitely the Seltos, its more practical with lots of rear seat space. The Kona's new front styling doesn't appeal to me either and if I wanted a hot hatch.... GTI is the answer.
    9
  31. To the off road questions, yes we do off road in the Ranger. Forest roads in all kinds of weather, especially snow and mud, and occasionally towing duties. Extreme off-roading, absolutely not. It's not a Wrangler.
    9
  32. Take the extended warranty. Its a Volkswagen. Or just buy a Mazda CX-30
    9
  33. Good review. You two are always enjoyable to watch. The Sentra is stylish but the durability of the Nissan/JATCO CVT is questionable 🤔
    8
  34. Definitely spend a little more.... and get a Corolla 😮
    8
  35. MINI is sooooo played out. I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road, and I live in a big city (Phoenix). The quality reputation of MINI is abysmal, especially after their transmission failure fiasco....

  36. Regarding the Bolt cellpack recalls, the batteries made by LG in South Korea for the Bolt and certain Hyundai/Kia EVs are the fire hazards. Part way through the 2019 model year, GM switched to using in-house batteries for the Bolt --- made at their battery plant in Warren Michigan. These US made battery packs ARE NOT subject to the fire hazard recall, only the South Korean LG produced batteries. Make sure to buy a used Bolt WITH the US MADE BATTERIES! As always, an informative and well-done review~

  37. Hyundai Tucson hybrid, Maverick Hybrid, or a Santa Fe hybrid for me. Until there's a larger and more reliable charging infrastructure in more rural areas of the US, hybrids are the only viable option. Excellent review, very insightful.
    8
  38. Wow, its an improvement in terms of styling but the unibrow front lightbar definitely reminds me of the 80s Mercury Sable 😅
    8
  39. You two are sooo cute together. Relationship Goals....😎

  40. Love the styling outside of the XT4. A family member owns a '20 Lincoln Corsair 2.0 TB. Much nicer interior in terms of fit and materials. And they got a helluva good lease deal from the Ford/Lincoln dealership.
    7
  41. VOLKSWAGEN = DIESELGATE. NEVER AGAIN
    7
  42. Regular towing was any vehicle that has a CVT transmission is asking for transmission trouble. Agree with Andrea too on the especially questionable reliability of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and CVT in a tow vehicle...😮 Definitely buy a V6 (or V8) with a traditional automatic. Maybe even a Tahoe?
    7
  43. Excellent review as always 👏. The Yukon is very attractive, especially in Denali trim. The diesel powerplant is definitely the way to go.
    7
  44. A family member owns a '22 Lincoln Corsair. The thing has been highly reliable. Drives nice, has a smooth ride, quiet and reasonably roomy. I just can't figure CR out.😮
    7
  45. Yes to the V6 Engine
    6
  46. 6 inches more rear legroom in the Seltos? Families will LOVE that.
    6
  47. Absolutely should have a heads up display for this price. And thanks to Rick and family for donating the Model Y for this review!

  48. Hybrid Highlander please. The CVT in the Ascent is a no-go.
    6
  49. To the 2nd question, definitely consider the Mazda3 hatchback too
    6
  50. The Toyota has great resale value and is built in the United States. HOWEVER, the CVT transmission in these models is a major drawback in terms of noise and durability. I'd wait for the hybrid CorCross with the proven bulletproof Toyota hybrid system to be honest. The Cypress green is stunning!
