  1. Will Costco's package of toilet paper and paper towels fit in the trunk?

  2. What happens if while you're driving and you accidentally press the START/STOP button?

  3. The turning radius is still bad (it's the same as my 2014 Toyota Highlander). Finally, Apple Carplay.

  4. I test drove the LC 500 today and I can tell you that for $100k and 4 seats, I was NOT impressed. Why? 1) Poor resale value 2) No sunroof 3) I hate the Lexus computer Automatic Trans shifter because it physically does not move. Also to park, you have to visually find the P button in the console. Then to put it into drive, I can't feel the D, I have to visually see on the dash that I moved it into P and it's a weird movement in which I have to move the lever left then move it down. 4) No Apple Carplay. 5) If you're gonna have 4 seats, my head should not be hitting the back window. PRO: I did like how you can turn the ceiling lights on/off by waving your hand in front of it so you don't have to look for the buttons in the dark. The gauge cluster moving left/right is cool.

  5. I test drove this car and I loved it BUT it's expensive at $80k. I like the instant torque, so there's no turbo lag. No range anxiety like an EV nor cumbersome plug and unplug charging every day. I loved the beautiful glass shifter.

  6. omg, slow as hell. Lost my respect. Bring back Lauren! Brembo brakes is an American staple? What an idiot.

  7. fugly front grille, just a BIG RECTANGULAR hole. I don't like the vertical crease line from the front bumper going up the hood.

  8. I test drove one today. Missing sunglass holder near the rearview mirror, whereas my 2014 Toyota Highlander has it.

  9. I test drove it but I found it too boring (timid exhaust, heavy body, ok acceleration). At least it has a sunroof and no turbo lag.

  10. No TAX credits! If the rich can afford a Tesla, then pay for it themselves. I don't understand why I have to pay and subsidize the rich. I am well off but I have no intentions of buying an electric car for another decade (or until every gas station can refuel an EV and in 6 minutes which is the same time as a gas car, and insurance premium for an EV comes down to the same as a gas car).

  11. This guy is HORRIBLE, I thought Lauren was going to be the host.

  12. I agree of the possible health risks with EV cars and electrocution.

  13. Toyota and Lexus refuse to have Apple Carplay so I refuse to be a longtime Toyota customer anymore. 6 months ago, I bought my first American car...Corvette as an additional car. American cars have become so good that I will drop Toyota from my shopping list because there's no Apple Carplay.

  14. I agree, a key is so outdated just like in Porsches. Great review and welcome back.

  15. I test drove the Audi TT, while it was fun, it was only half the fun of a Corvette C7 with stick at the same price.

  16. it's NOT a Toyota. A Lotus Evora 400 is more of a Toyota, using a Toyota motor and transmission.

  17. Who's stupid enough to be the next CEO when Japan can turn against that new CEO too?

  18. I just got back from Baja California in Mexico yesterday and I drove a suv with seven 18 year old boys back with me. NOBODY down there cares about the Corona virus. Hell, I even forgot to take the extra roll of hotel toilet paper with me home.

  19. Nice interior, not plain ugly and ergonomic issues using a screen for everything like Tesla's.

  20. Great points about: - usb is way in the back which is not good for a radar detector - water bottle blocking radio/ac buttons I also hate stick shift cars that have water bottles that block my elbow.

  21. Exterior now looks acceptable, but still not beautiful like Mercedes.

  22. Finally, get rid of the Nissan 370z with its awful stick and clutch.

  23. Sadly, the Hyundai Genesis performs and looks better inside and outside...and I don't even like Hyundai.

  24. No, EV are a niche toy. EV are not practical (infrastructure can't refuel at every intersection or refuel in 5 minutes like ICE car), or fun (engine audio, rumbling, engagement of a manual transmission), or safe (autopilot fatal crashes, lithium battery overheat like my smartphone and cause fire, fires reignite hours later), or have any resale value once the value depreciates down to the cost of a new battery. I don't want to deal with plugging in and unplugging my car like my smartphone every day. I don't want to plan my itinerary and check my fuel before I hit the road, I just want to pull into the next fuel station at the next intersection and refuel in 5 minutes.

  25. Lexus=luxury. Mercedes=opulent

  26. @carcoachreports: France gas stations are far and few in between, if they're even open, and if your credit card feels like working that day, so the 45mpg was awesome.

  27. WOW, I've never liked trucks until now.

  28. What's the 0-60mph time? The video didn't mention it.
    2
  29.  @CarCoachReports  Thanks. That's now slower than my 2014 Toyota Highlander at 7.2 seconds.

  30. There needs to be a law that prioritizes lithium for smartphones over electric cars because cars have petroleum and hydrogen alternatives.

  31. Good riddence. Nissan fucked me over with its reliability, and when I called customer service they didn't care if I bought another Nissan in the future. Car Kharma!

  32. cvt=no sale for me.

  33. Tesla $35k version with the short range battery will not sell. Less wealthy people live farther from their jobs so they are the ones who actually need a bigger battery more than a person who earns more and lives closer and gets to telecommute.

  34. go ahead, Hyundai name just doesn't cut it for me.

  35. Holy fat ass 5060 lbs, I wonder what its numbers are for lateral G handling and 60-0 mph stopping distance. I love everything else about it except the price and 20 minutes charging is still too long, need to get it down to 5 minutes like ICE cars.

  36. I test drove both the Toyota and Mustang and Camaro v4; the Camaro was the fastest and didn't feel like a kid's car.

  37. lol, in the Southwest and LA here, it's kids with the FRS and BRZ.
    2
  38. I DON'T WANT an electric car until it's convenient like an ICE car: 1) infrastructure is in place that I can refuel at every gas station 2) recharges in 5 minutes. 3) safe battery as ICE car 4) lithium battery waste

  39. I test drove it yesterday. When I accelerated up a ramp to 80 mph then let go of the gas to coast, weird why it took a while before the rpm dropped. Hard acceleration 0-30 mph it couldn't figure out which gear to be in.

  40. It's so boring that for every 500 Camry you see on the road, you'd see 1 Mazda 6.

  41. Honda Civic is like a McDonald's hamburger, it's #1 selling but it's not #1 quality, there are many other way tastier burgers. I owned a civic in college in the late 1980s but it's a college kid's starter car; after you graduate when you're older and have more money, you want something nicer, faster, safer.

  42. Good looking car but overpriced for a 2.0 liter engine. That model shown is $29k and no homelink available for a 2.0 engine. I repeat 2.0 engine. I paid $34k for a new toyota highlander xle model with v6 3.5 liter 275 horsepower which is 135 horses more or almost twice the power. Manual shift +/- are opposite positions compared to other cars. I also have an 8 year old 2008 Scion xB with a 2.4L engine that has more power at 160hp for $17k... that is $10k less than the Mazda.

  43. When I drove one, the road noise on the fwy was noisy but the Toyota Camry was quiet.

  44. Sorry guys, too much talking only without seeing the cars at the same time.

  45. Does it have 1) side turn lights on the mirrors or front fenders 2) homelink garage door opener? I wished it was even shorter because 188 inches is just 3 inches shorter than my 2014 Toyota Highlander SUV with 3 rows. It should have been 175 inches or less to match Porsche Cayman.

  46. I hope that the red color is cherry red for a sports car and not the ugly dark red.that is on sedans and trucks.  This car is low which is great but that means it also needs auto dimming rearview mirrors.  This is 2016, it also needs the homelink garage door opener.  It also needs a backup camera to help when the top is down.  Also missing is a Headsup display like in the Mazda 3.  Mazda should offer a supercharger option. -------------- The front looks like an ugly catfish. The 2016 Mazda Mx-5's infotainment/navigation screen is ugly and looks like an aftermarket afterthought protruding out of the dashboard like a big wart.  To do this right, they should have included the infotainment/navigation screen into the dashboard screen that currently has the RPM like Lamborghini Huracan.  Plus, the navigation is only in the Touring model. ------------------- The exhaust note is nice but it could be better. Even the $22k Fiat 500 Abarth has the exotic exhaust note like its older brother Ferrari.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfQ73shGGoc     Think I'll hold off on the 2016 Mazda for the 2017 Fiat 124 (same Mazda Mx-5 chasis) coming this fall.

  47. The ride seems to be very rough because the camera keeps shaking when Lauren was driving.

  48. Does the RF Club version come with homelink and autodimming rearview mirror?

  49. My GREATEST concern is that Consumer Reports rated the 2015's reliability as half black circle (below average). My second concern is the high depreciation.

  50. Needs a touchscreen so I don't have to take my eyes off the road and look down to find the controller.
