  1. Monstrous overkill.... a monstrous V8, monstrous wheels, monstrous size.... and I want one.
    157
  2. Seltos please. The 3 cylinder engine paired with a CVT is a total HOT mess waiting to happen
    79
  3. The R3-X is frigging awesome 😮😊
    65
  4. The interior is stunningly beautiful 😍
    53
  5. The new "it car" for Uber drivers who dont splurge for a Prius..... the longterm reliability of the JATCO/Nissan CVT is DEFINITELY suspect... which is why Nissan resale value is horrendous.
    52
  6. Good looking vehicle. Shame about its crappy JATCO CVT transmission.
    43
  7. Price gouging by dealerships is horrendous on the Golf R and even the GTI..... CRIMINAL
    32
  8. COMPLETELY JUNK JATCO MADE CVT. These CVT transmissions are prone to failure, usually around 65,000 miles. DO NOT BUY, unless you own a transmission repair shop. A major black mark on resale value too. The public image of the Nissan CVT sucks, because even the replacement CVTs fail!! A friends Rogue is on CVT #3
    26
  9. Zach ran away from the smores squad. LOL. Isn't Corsair also the name of a trim level name on Edsel models from the 50s? Perhaps I know way too much inane car trivia.... 😎👍
    25
  10. Model 3 please.
    24
  11. I'll take a Palisade. The Telluride has too many bro dozer styling queues. Thanks for the overhead shots of the Queen Mary and the marina. Beautiful. And I'm homesick for the LBC....
    17
  12. Should have been called a Toyota Matrix! !! I'm kinda liking the styling
    17
  13. AVALANCHE OF BRONCO VIDEO UPLOADS
    17
  14. I've had my vehicle for 25 years and 230,000 miles 😮
    13
  15. Equinox? Escape? Hornet? CX50? HELLO?? Good to see Micah. Palm Springs looks amazing! 🎉
    12
  16. Completely agree
    12
  17. HPD package? THAT requires a Hawaii Five-O package. Book 'em, Micah! 🌊🌴🌊🌴🌊
    11
  18. Love the Kia, love Lynn, and love the Long Beach rolling footage. All three are soooo good for my SOUL. 😉
    11
  19. Poor Tim. My mom wants Micah's Mom to tell him to BE NICE. Also, the CT5 is very sexy.
    11
  20. The "more you know" rainbow star thingy had me LOL....
    10
  21. Such a handsome, elegant vehicle... especially in the understated blue. I want one!
    10
  22. Good review Lyn!! At $43k I'm moving up to a Silverado for more space.
    9
  23. "Come on! Kill me!!" caused me to split coffee across the room. Thanks Micah! ☕☕☕
    9
  24. OMG, the Tesla fanboys in these comments. 😂😢😑😆😂
    9
  25. Chevy Trax didn't make the seniors list? It's roomy, has a high hip point for seating. And a usable cargo hold.... and it's a stunning value. 😮
    9
  26. Elegant interior and exterior design. The quilted Napa leather is gorgeous
    8
  27. Wow, much more attractive with more competitive charging speeds. 😊
    8
  28. Only Californians (or EX-Californians) truly know that visceral pleasure of a carpool sticker.
    8
  29. Hey Brian, good to see you. The Camry XSE hybrid with the black roof and red interior looks great!
    8
  30. Cadillac, are you taking NOTES? Understated classy (perhaps Range Rover-esque) styling and beautifully crafted interiors leathers. 400 standard horsepower. This is how its done. Great review, Lyn!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR, KBB 🥂🍾
    7
  31. I'll take a Mazda CX90 please, in artisan red. Thanks for the overview, Danger!
    7
  32. Toyota Rav4 is a safer bet for its reliability, higher resale, and the standard Toyota safety-sense package. Plus, Hyundai dealerships are usually shady AF. ⚠
    7
  33. Half-baked ADAS system is a definite NOPE from me.
    6
  34. How frigging bored is the KBB crew of doing reviews of boxy tall hatchbackie wagons with CVTs? My guess is EXTREMELY.... 🌵🌵🌵
    6
  35. Good job, Danger! Forte is a good value, but a Mazda3 2.5L sedan would still be my pick. Too many Hyundai/Kia engine recalls recently
    6
  36. Enthusiastic walk-around, Danger! I think that the new Stang is sexy AF, especially in GT convertible guise. Well done 👏
    6
  37. The deep purple paint color 💜 is amazing.
    6
  38. CVT FAILURES!! Lease if you must, do not buy. Also, have Subaru solved its excessive oil consumption issues yet??
    5
  39. DENIED. CVT or dry pack dual clutch automatic. Noooooo thanks. Good overview tho.
    5
  40. Nice job Danger. 👏 and the Prius is now SEXY! I'm not gonna lie. And 57 mpg is awesome.
    5
  41. Emissions regulations
    5
  42. New Subie Legacy was my pick for the all wheel drive platform.
    5
  43. NOT ENOUGH BLING. LEATHERETTE (Vinyl!) in the interior? Seriously, Cadillac?
    5
  44. Lease, don't purchase. Resale values on Infiniti models is abysmal. Seriously gorgeous interior, though 😮
    4
  45. Nope, looks like a XT6 on steroids. Nothing distinctive about it. Navigator has more "bling"
    4
  46. Its a worktruck mainly, lots of equipment hauling. Expensive, but owners make the SuperDuty earn its keep out here in rural America
    4
  47. A Nissan with the JATCO CVT = A HUGE HIT to resale value.
    4
  48. I want a G-wagen.... and I hate being middle class. And it's not unusual to see a trophy wife driving one at the Fashion Square in Scottsdale.... usually painted black. Although that green is gorgeous. Also, the G-wagen is extremely popular with Russian mob bosses, especially in eastern Russia. Alway painted black. Good review as always, Micah.
    4
  49. Honda Sales-port. The ultimate big box store parking lot cruiser. Will never see anything rougher that a gravel parking lot or driveway. 😅
    4
  50. For the money and haggling with the dealership, you can get a larger Sentra SV for very close to the Versa sticker 💵 with more rear seat space and power.
    4
  51. The Rouge is a unremarkable, but well rounded crossover. The major demerit is the fragile JATCO CVT transmission, which really puts a dent in resale value. Otherwise, it's a fine long distance cruiser. 7 hour drive from Phoenix to Nevada was comfy, fairly quiet, and very fuel efficient. But the janky CVT is a ticking time bomb
    4
  52. No longer a "MINI"😅
    4
  53. Micah, I have never seen so much tire smoke in my entire life. Love the Bullitt! 🔫 And in what post-apocalyptic location did you folks film this? Looks like a nuked Levittown. 💣
    4
  54. Hi Brian!! Good narration 😊
    3
  55. Ummm, CT4 please. Heck, even a Mazda3 turbo 5-door
    3
  56. I'd go with a Cadillac CT5 for less money and more rear seat space.
    3
  57. Definitely the Mazda3 😊
    3
  58. No CVT!! BUT the 2.0L Variable Compression turbo engine has serious issues... like failures of main bearings and L-link failures in the VC mechanism
    3
  59. For $31k, you're well into CX5 territory. I'd move up to the move space and higher resale of the CX5.....
    3
  60. The new Buick Invicta... ummmm, Envicta?? It's a historic Buick nameplate. (Invicta, not Envicta... nevermind). I rented a Envision for a drive to Arizona high country from Phoenix, touring around Sedona, and the Envision was a great cruiser. Ultra comfy seats, plenty of room for 4 big adults, and a day trip worth of backpacks and a Coleman cooler easily fit in the cargo hold. Library quiet too. Ate up 500 miles in one day. Yeah, I know it's made in China, but the Chinese buyers love Buicks.....
    3
  61. Mitsubishi has a dying dealership network here in the USA. The US dealers were told to upgrade their dealership to a new Mitsubishi corporate standard (basically demolish old dealership and construct new Mitsu dealership facility) and many dealership owners told Mitsubishi to pound sand. A few in Florida just recently simply closed with zero notice to the public.
    3
  62. Vigorous thrashing by Mr Muzio!! Interior trim pieces cheaply made! I realize that it's a pre-production vehicle, but still. Does anyone see a first generation Plymouth Barracuda in the tail lights? Might be tripping. 😨 Good work, Micah! 😉
    3
  63. The xB has been dead for YEARS.....
    3
  64. Great job Lyn....
    3
  65. Toyota 4RUNNER
    3
  66. Corolla Hybrid 😊
    3
  67. The Range Rover is gorgeous 😍 even better in a darker more saturated paint color. LEASE, DO NOT BUY. Depreciation is horrendous and reliability is questionable 😳
    3
  68. Nice work, Mike. Loving the bright red paint and especially the updated interior. The price isnt bad either.
    3
  69. RAPTOR PLEASE
    3
  70. Less horsepower??? GTI please! 🏁🏴‍☠️🇩🇪
    3
  71. Ill take a Kona Hybrid. The Fiat build quality is spotty and that 9 speed automatic is known for premature failure.... repeatedly.
    2
  72. New generation of the Encore is coming, with more safety tech. Might be worth waiting til later this year. The upgrade turbocharged version is really the only way to go, as the base engine is damn slow...
    2
  73. Why not keep with the current Mazda naming system and call it the CX-4??
    2
  74. Very bourgeois, Micah. Benz is like the German premium version of Buick... a boomer mobile. 🧓👵
    2
  75. The new Golf in the US market
    2
  76. No uglier than a Trump 2020 sticker.... I'm just saying. 😉
    2
  77. Horrendous fuel mileage.... its just another tall heavy hatchback. And a rainy day in the LBC.
    2
  78. YAWWWWWWNNNNN. Another tall station wagon
    2
  79. You guys are hilarious at KBB. And thanks for the rolling footage through Long Beach, I miss my old home town. LBC! ⛵
    2
  80. AMEN THOMAS... includes Lexus
    2
  81. I prefer the monotone look of the Envista Avenir.... the black cladding looks cheap....
    2
  82. Better, but not great. CX5 please
    2
  83. 10 year, 100,000 mile factory powertrain warranty absolutely required, Dodge!
    2
  84. Nice job Danger. I'll take the hybrid hatchback
    2
  85. Ranger Raptor please 🎉
    2
  86. Mazda equips all of its SUVs with all-wheel drive 😮
    2
  87. Way too much money. I'd go for a Bolt EUV even if I would have to deal with the glacier slow Bolt charging curve....
    2
  88. LOVES THE LBC rolling scenes!
    2
  89. ROOOOXXXXAANNNNEE, you don't have to put on the red light .....😉
    2
  90. Such terrible materials quality in the interior. In time, interior trim will fall apart or squeak over every bump. Electricals are very janky too. This Passat seems to be aimed at China or emerging markets.... decontented. As a two time VW owner, my advice is to lease or buy Japanese.
    2
  91. Ok, who dinged the drivers side rear around the wheel well? See 3:44 . Nice to see Micah back, and love the LBC rolling shots! 👍
    2
  92. Nope, not the droopy butt look for $50k. I'd look at a Cadillac CT5 for about the same price. Ohhh, and tell Tim not to litter. Keep Long Beach beautiful!
    2
  93. Such an adorable little girl, and you're looking like a happy new dad. Is there plans for a all-wheel drive version of the Pacifica?
    1
  94. It's not awe inspiring, but it's definitely not an emotional design....
    1
  95. Dear Cadillac, Lincoln is beating you up and stealing your lunch money. And bragging about it to everyone in school. Get your crap together. Better interior materials and build quality. Oh, and torque steer hasn't been fashionable since the 90s. Glad to hear you have excellent grip strength, Micah.😜🙃
    1
  96. Micah, always enjoy your reviews. Informative, but enjoyably irreverent. Love the rolling footage through Long Beach, I miss my old hometown. Hey, one question, where do you get all of the cool automotive novelty T-shirts? Thanks! 🌴🌵🌴🌵🌴🌵
    1
  97. The Z side sculpturing makes the car look like its been sideswiped..... oh, and kitchen is fine for location. Unless your backyard is more interesting? Reviews from the helo??:😉 Be well!
    1
  98. Good review Brian! A very overpriced GMC, though. I'd buy a Expedition or Tahoe for almost $70k
    1
  99. Montage format was awesome. Reminded me of music videos from the 80s. The montage of the Montage made my brain hurt. Oh, keep the beard Micah!
    1
  100. $32K!!! With a shoddy JATCO CVT? Nissan resale values are abysmal because that transmission is just junk.... repeatedly fails. A shame, it's a decent looking sedan.
    1
  101. "Oops, I've angered the natives!" when exiting the XT6 had me LMAO. Good job, Micah!
    1
  102. Nice SOCKS, Micah! I'm just sayin' 😉
    1
  103. Very sad news
    1
  104. Micah, great review. Who's doggies at 5:23?? Is this Benz than a Cadillac CT4?
    1
  105. Urinary tract infection metallic. Don't buy this vehicle, depreciation on larger VW sedans is steep, and reliability is STILL spotty. Thus VW ending it's 6 year/ 72000 mile warranty. I'm not a fan on the Toyota Camry front end styling. Lynn is alway enjoyable to watch
    1
  106. Perhaps an ST Estate? 🤓
    1
  107. Way too weird looking... the Clarity, not Harley or Micah. Could you not score an Insight? Much better styling. 😆😉😎
    1
  108. I'll take the Mazda 6, please. Oh, with the turbo....
    1
  109. The urban F-150 is what the Ranger is. Desperately needs the 3.2L Diesel offered overseas. The last generation Ranger was a beast. My father owned one 15 years and a friend owned his 17 years... built Ford tough.
    1
  110. Known for transmission failures, FWD & AWD versions. The last-gens V6 engine was a POS too, sludge issues galore 😮
    1
  111. Cor-rari, please. 😉
    1
  112. ​@minipandora22 inflation is way down, gas prices are stable, and President Biden isn't a fascist like the Mango Menace 🤔
    1
  113. I'll take a CT5 please. Good information, Micah!!
    1
  114. Hi Lyn. Good review. I take it that Ford has an "embargo" on driving reviews of the Ranger. Annoying tactic...
    1
  115. I realize that it's a truck, but the styling looks like the brutalist architectural school of design. 🏨🏩🏦🏫🏢
    1
  116. The Gravity is the world's only sexy minivan 😮
    1
  117. The Chevrolet COR-RARI
    1
  118. YAY!!! MICAH AND LYN!! Ohhh, and the Genesis, please. For the standard safety suite and Android auto. And Bimmer drivers have a well-earned reputation for being douchebags.. SHOTS FIRED!
    1
  119. Lincoln's value proposition is under 45K. Over that amount, Benz & Audi reign. Personally, I love the pseudo Range Rover looks of the Lincoln SUVs, Corsair included. 60K is excessive, I'd prefer a Q5 for that amount. Now, Genesis is adding SUV models which complicate things. Lincoln resale values are abysmal even for luxury crossovers.... I'd lease. Great review Lyn!
    1
  120. Very good looking. And the Sonata isn't bad either. 😉
    1
  121. HI ZACH!!!!!
    1
  122. I'll take a CX30 Turbo for less money and better interior materials, especially in the rear.
    1
  123. Nice. But CX5 please.
    1
  124. Why wouldn't Buick put a turbo 1.5L 4 cylinder in the GX? Just to differentiate it from the Trail Blazer? The interior is generally okay. Oh, and you need some sun Micah!
    1
  125. $47,000 American dollars? Bhahahaha! 😂
    1
  126. I'll take an Explorer....
    1
  127. Way overpriced. The Kia EV9 is the top EV right now
    1
  128. Very derivative styling. The Japanese origami take on the Lincoln SUVs and the Range Rovers..... not impressed
    1
  129. The Escape in that Mazda-esque Soul Red... looks just like a MAZDA. And thanks for the LBC travelogue, Micah and Tim. 🥰😍
    1
  130. HIIIII TIMMM !! 👋👋👋👋👍
    1
  131. Looks like a big Korean Buick.... at least what big Buick sedans used to be.
    1
  132. Ugly inside and out. Infiniti has very little caché. I'd go with a Yukon Denali or a Navigator for the same or less cash.
    1
  133. Pervy in the third row? Not with the Mom mirror and driver public address system, Micah!! Great review, liking the Palisades looks and family friendly interior.
    1
  134. LONG TERM TEST INTRODUCTION.... Not a review.
    1
  135. Micah, that tailgate is seriously messing with you....
    1
  136. SEXY..... but I am talking about the Prius
    1
  137. Great walkabout, Lyn. Definitely prefer the short wheelbase 90.
    1
  138. Mazda CX90 please
    1
  139. There's noticeable turbo lag in 2019??? I'd buy a Signature level Mazda CX7 instead, for way less money and greater durability and reliability. Resale on Jags is abysmal too.
    1
  140. 💯
    1
  141. Micah, B footage from Bixby Knoll?? Making me homesick again, buddy. Anyhow, why the Venza name? Its called the Harrier in the JDM, and is a much better moniker for a almost elegant tall CUV. Reminds me of something my parents would buy. Outstanding work as always
    1
  142. Stratospheric pricing on the upscale trims. Not worth it.
    1
  143. Rental car interior
    1
  144. See alot of Nissan Ariya in this design
    1
  145. There's lots of these driven by peroxide blonde trophy wives named Karen in the Scottsdale area. As for the vehicle itself, its not terribly attractive nor is it a good value. The Genesis GV is more compelling.
    1
  146. The facial expressions mimicking the exhaust note had me laughing out loud, Micah... and I'd NEVER silence that exhaust. It's a symphony. 😉
