  1. Here's the bigger question. Is Joe Raiti the best automotive reviewer on You Tube? The answer is YES.
    603
  2. Joe Raiti should review bicycles. I would love to hear him yell "On throttle!" and start pedaling furiously.
    436
  3. Country roads, fall foliage, quaint country style homes and a big honkin' diesel. This video is a treat.

  4. Joe always has tons of energy but wow did he ever have his coffee that morning! Great job as always. I won't be buying these cars but I'll always watch the reviews.

  5. These older Benzes are really tempting because of the amount of car you get for the money. As long as it has good detailed service history and everything checks out good on the test drive then you're golden. Still keep a $3000 "just in case" fund. I follow that rule with my MB and it too is 10 years old and running solid. Great review as always.

  6. I really started paying attention to Kia when they brought out the Stinger. With this new EV6 I am REALLY paying attention to them now. Thanks for the review.

  7. I love this series because of the history of the vehicle and the owners and how Larry approaches each detail differently based on what needs to be accomplished. That's the beauty of the detailing world, it's dynamic in what products you choose, what methods to use and working on just about everything you can get your hands on.

  8. Just picked up a 15 Genesis 5.0 Ultimate. 1 owner with 52k miles. It's an amazing value given how much car you get and the best part is the drive excellent. I can only imagine what the G90 drives like.
    85
  9. The E Class has long been my favorite all around car. Great size without being too big, comfortable, great ride, great handling, quiet and if it has 4MATIC they're great year round.
    77
  10. Funny thing I pulled up to one of these older ES350s yesterday and thought "I forgot how nice these were" and look at that, a review pops up for one.
    66
  11. I had a previous generation Suburban for a rental and it was awesome. Big, comfy yet great visibility so easy to drive.
    66
  12. Great review. The G30 5 Series is the perfect size and I love the subtle styling. It will age just as well as the old E39.
    60
  13. I like Larry's individualized approach to each detail. Detailing a work truck will be different than detailing a barn find or an exotic car for a museum.
    48
  14. Good to see that the turbo V6 engines still have that nice distinct Nissan/Infiniti sound. A lot of newer turbo engines just sound like vacuums.
    44
  15. Enjoying these high mileage reviews. It goes to show that with proper maintenance and being PROACTIVE you can have a car that lasts the test of time. While I agree with Lexus vehicles being more reliable overall they still need maintenance and that still costs money. All things considered If you were to compare the repair bills from an RX350 with 150k to this MB with 150k there wouldn't be much of a difference especially since this one has the standard steel suspension.
    38
  16. I love these cars and I'm okay with the fact that not much has been redesigned over the years because it doesn't really need one. Fast, comfortable and can shift it yourself. I'm good with that. Great review as always.
    27
  17. This is the video I never knew I needed to watch but thankful I did.
    25
  18. The Crown Vics were great to own and road trip with. Easy to maintain, parts were cheap and it had the space to carry people and their stuff.
    22
  19. Love these 20 minute or so reviews. Perfect to watch as I'm on my lunch break and munching down on pasta.
    20
  20. The design is a bit much (especially in the front) but as usual with BMWs they will drive brilliantly.
    19
  21. The ultimate family and Twinkie hauling machine!
    15
  22. The biggest factor is finding one that's been well maintained and to fix things BEFORE they break. That applies to anything European. One key thing is to change the oil a bit more often than that once per year or 15k miles interval. The timing chain will thank you.
    15
  23. Love the wide body and stance. MB is killing it on the design and of course with the seamless I6 mild hybrid powertrains. Thanks Joe.
    14
  24. Such smooth lines with this design. RRs are the absolute guilty pleasure of vehicles.
    13
  25. Great job as always Larry and team. The W140 Benz will always be one of my favorites. Rock solid, great looks, comfy interior and the ride was incredible on the highway.
    13
  26. Great review. I tend to gravitate towards the Benz (especially ones with ABC) because they ride and handle well so there's some sportiness despite the thing being as big as a house plus they have this super solid and heavy feel. The Lexus has a more relaxed "I'll get there when I get there" feel to it which will be a nice thing if you have a long commute or are constantly on the road.
    13
  27. Joe's track driving expertise is definitely showing here. Great review.
    12
  28. Love it. Just a simple and fun car.
    11
  29. Love the way S Class Benzes ride going down the road. Soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough so it handles well and doesn't float and wallow everywhere. Quiet too.
    11
  30. Great review. I like that these CX-9s are advanced enough to have the latest powertrain and safety design but simple enough that service and upkeep costs are lower than the German offerings. The funny thing is you could park this next to an Audi Q7 and it will just look as premium for $15k less.
    11
  31. "ON THROTTLE YEEEEEAHHHHHHAHAHAHA!". That right there sells just how awesome the GS Corvette is.
    10
  32. The C43 AMG is a fantastic car especially for tuners as those TT V6 motors can push serious power with stock internals and injectors. Whoever spec'd this car out is absolutely ridiculous because that wood trim and no pano roof is just nasty. Easy change though.

  33. Good to see the transmission isn't hunting for gears. Someone needs to tell GM that with both their 8 speed and 10 speed units. Those transmissions are programmed to hit the highest ratio too quickly which causes a shudder and if you press the gas a bit harder then it either drops down too many gears or not enough. Always hunting and always hard shifting. If this 9 speed is not guilty of that then I'm SOLD.
    8
  34. I always find that premium compact cars/SUVs from BMW, Audi, MB, Lexus and Volvo are fantastic buys. Because they are volume sellers the quality, driving characteristics and practicality are great because the manufacturers take the time to make vehicle that feels a cut above and appealing for people looking to break into the premium segment.

  35. Even when Australians are angry it sounds so pleasant. Greetings from Canada!

  36. The car is brilliant and I'm not opposed to EVs but until the infrastructure for charging actually becomes a thing and the price of the EV cars themselves start to drop then it will make sense. Right now, for such a populated place, Ontario is terrible when it comes to finding charging areas, the payment system is screwed up and sure most of your charging will be done at home but charging stations need to become a thing. The fact that Canada wants to ban selling new gas/diesel cars by 2035 they're going to need to pick up the pace on infrastructure and making the grid stronger. Whenever we have a heatwave in July and one too many AC units are on we have tons of blackouts. How will the system support charging tons of cars at once?

  37. Alrighty I got some spare time and need to catch up on some reviews. Grabbed a snack and gonna get started on this one.

  38. Love this generation SL. They don't age and are fun to drive but still comfy.
    5
  39. Bad wheel bearing? There's an odd sound.
    5
  40. Super long oil change intervals, too low oil pressure at idling (which trucks do a lot of at job sites do) and on a side note exhaust manifolds that crack and rust out rather quickly.
    5
  41. Great video. Practical information and high quality product.
    5
  42. Think I'd spring for the Kia Telluride. There's nothing about this Atlas that sets it apart from the rest of the pack and it's a tad down power too. That motor with 5 or 6 people, their stuff and the AC on might cause it to struggle a bit in hilly situations.
    5
  43. It reminds me of a modern day Lamborghini Espada.
    4
  44. If they really want to set this apart the Platinum trim needs the VC Turbo from the Altima. Great review.
    4
  45. Love the Telluride. Egg rolls in the tray? Getting fancy now!
    4
  46. The X5 is such a good all around SUV I can totally understand why they fly off the dealer lots. Funny enough I've been buying and selling SHIB coin so between that and AMC if all goes well I can get one of these premium vehicles.
    4
  47. I just want to know what your reaction was when you realize the audio was a goner. I get the vibe the language may have been quite colorful :)

  48. Team Raiti is awesome. Joe and Lori crank out the goods faster than I can watch them. That's a good problem to have.
    4
  49. Wow pushing these power levels and can run on 87 octane is pretty impressive.
    4
  50. Raiti's Rides delivering the goods as usual though not feeling this Cadillac. Add in the fact that GM ceased production on the CT6 plus they killed off this CT6 V before it was even released. Parts are going to be a pain to find for these later on down the line knowing how GM is. Also, GM really strikes me as a company that just throws stuff at the wall and hopes something sticks.

  51. That paint is beautiful. I would definitely ceramic coat it to protect it. Great review.

  52. What impresses me about older Japanese cars is how well they aged in terms of design. Can't forget the light and tossable nature of them either.
    3
  53. Because the gasket wasn't leaking genius. It was leaking from the header itself. I did a similar repair near the muffler on my old beat up Nissan Maxima I had years ago using JB Weld. That stuff held for the next 2 years I drove the car and it was still quiet as a mouse when I gave the car away.
    3
  54. Admit it Joe. You want this car!
    3
  55. MB kind of messed up with not offering a Blutec diesel option. I mean the majority of the previous generation ML and GLE were spec'd out with the 3.0 diesel V6 so why they wouldn't offer it this time around is a bit beyond me. Excellent review!
    3
  56. I love the contrast between big American landyachts and tiny efficient European cars. Such a cute little charming car.

  57. Hey as a Canadian I don't blame you for preferring a Dunkin Donuts coffee. The thing about Tim Horton's is it's so damn inconsistent. You could go to the same Tim Horton's location on 5 separate occasions and it will taste 5 different ways and none of them good.
    2
  58. You would have to drive a lot to save enough to make up for the extra cost of the hybrid versions. At this point dealerships are selling them above MSRP.
    2
  59. This Rubicon is so manly Joe's biceps got bigger at 17:58.
    2
  60. It's like the modern version of the Lamborghini Espada. GT cruiser with tons of performance but practical. There's nothing more impressive than a well sorted suspension that is both comfortable yet tight when the twisties come by.
    2
  61. I love the styling, space and no nonsense interior layout of the Atlas but the vehicle as a whole seems bland. It's the bowl of unflavored oatmeal of SUVs. The Honda Pilot has more character all around, the Toyota Highlander has a peppy V6 motor or great hybrid offering, the new Pathfinder is great with the powertrain and styling improvements, the Telluride is pretty much the best thing for the money and the SUVs from even the big 3 are pretty awesome all around too.
    2
  62. Yeah they say the same thing for my car (16,000 kms or once a year) but I do it every 6 months which works out to about 7,000kms. Good peace of mind and a great selling point later on down the line. Even if I'm wasting money doing it every 6 months I'd rather waste some money than waste an engine.
    2
  63. Compact 4 cylinder sedans aren't really my definition of a Mercedes Benz but I kinda like this car. CPO deals a few years from now will be awesome.
    2
  64. I do like the A5 convertible as well as the C300 convertible. Thanks for the review.
    2
  65. Gotta love the track test drive.

  66. Subbed. This content is awesome. I don't own a VW but I'll watch.
    2
  67. Thanks for reviewing a regular trim model.
    2
  68. Joe bringing the goods as usual. One day Joe has to go on a candy run!

  69. My favorite thing about old Benzes is how the doors sound when you shut the door.
    2
  70. Question. When you upgrade to bigger diameter wheels like what's on this Jeep do you have to reprogram the speedometer? What about other systems?
    2
  71. Well done video. This highlights how it's not just the decibel rating but also the pitch and quality of the noise. The "harshness" of that noise was greatly reduced with each layer.
    2
  72. Gonna have to a grab a snack before sitting down to watch this one!

  73. Good thing we DON"T have smellavision. Great work as always.

  74. For someone who eats that much honey Mike is in great shape.

  75. The M62 and S62 pull really smoothly. Great torque curve.

  76. You let Mike off the hook way too many times in your past details. Good to see him back out there again.

  77. If Mitch says it's nasty then it's NASTY.

  78. Please tell me your charged the customer a good amount of money to get the job done. Really satisfying end result!

  79. Enjoying the heat down in Texas?

  80. Eye opening video. The USA is so vast it's like different worlds all within one country.

  81. Extracting the carpets/seats are my favorite.

  82. Holy crap this one was epic.
    1
  83. With regards to the throttle being touchy and the vehicle lurching I'm willing to bet BMW did that on purpose to make the SUV seem as peppy and responsive as the sedans but overdid it. Same as you mentioned with the Audi SQ5. They tuned the suspension to handle as good as the cars and in the end the ride quality suffered as a result. Good review as always. Fits in with my lunch break.

  84. I'm going to have to buy some of that bug and tar cleaner.
