A way to support my channel is to buy your Amazon stuff through these following Amazon links. How it works; You click on one of the links below and you buy the product on Amazon. Of course, once you click on the link and you don’t want to buy the highlighted product, just buy anything else! Amazon recognizes this and I get a small kickback based on your total shopping cart anyways. I like this option because this is how I support other KZreadrs; it is win-win. It costs nothing. So just click and shop.
Here are the links to my equipment (but once on the site, I believe I will get a credit for all your shopping cart).

Ethics statement in effect since 2017 (as per “The Deceptive Marketing Practices Digest” of the Canadian Competition Bureau and FTC Endorsement Guides of the United States)
**When reviewing a product, if it is based on a personal purchase (or other individual), full opinion given.
**If a manufacturer gives me product for review, the opinion expressed in video of product will never go below satisfactory, ie. you will not see “you are a fool for buying this”. Manufacturers do not get to “approve” my video as this would constitute advertisement. Consequently, I will not produce a video if product provided is bad.
**There is no advertising done on this channel unless stated in introduction of video or where relevant in the video in order for the viewer to be informed. ie. it will be evident and not misleading.

thank you for the video! so according to the ftc you can't review something you don't find of quality? that seems anti-consumer if you can't point out faults in a product . or am I misunderstanding?

No, no. It is a choice I made in my ethics statement to protect the manufacturers who give me stuff or access. The only thing the FTC says is you have to be honest and disclose editorial control of content. I choose not to produce videos if a) a manufacturer gives me product trial AND b) if product is shitty. This is my personal commitment to both viewer and manufacturer. That is conform to FTC and Canadian blogger/review rules. In the car business, it is difficult since I am such a small outlet, manufacturers want to control image. By NOT producing a video, I am not misleading my viewers (there is no video). Also, by not producing video, I am not destroying the image of the product of the manufacturer. However, if it is my product or that of someone who is "at arm's length" of the manufacturer (ie. a friend has me review his car), then I can produce a negative review, as per my ethics statement. I created this ethics statement to ensure viewer trusts my opinion when I say something is good and to reassure manufacturers who want to do business with me. So, if I say something I good, no one has influence over me. Manufacturers know this ahead of time. It is fair play.

Bought my 2014 SE w/roof. 147,823 miles bought new. ZERO squeaks or rattles. Best, most reliable cars I've owned I'm my 65 years. Not as fun as my GTI w/DSG but so far bullet proof
100km on mine and still going strong

I like VW but love Honda so I'm biased if I were going to review this lol. For me I compare many cars to the ones I like first, then secondly to its competitors.

I am trying so hard to love Volkswagen. I have to change car at the end of summer and I really liked this Passat, it looked really good in person. Obviously, I am a 4-door sedan guy

i hope you'll do a review and share your taught process of your car when you get it :) It's interesting to see what a car guy thinks about when buying a car.
