Thank you very much! I always say to our boys, you will take many different paths in life, you don't have to do the same thing you started out doing. It's okay to switch it up. I am happy I moved around, I learned so much and met some great people along the way.

I've admired how well you present and produce these videos, and now it all makes sense! You are so fun to watch!! Always look forward to a new video and hearing your opinions! Waiting on the edge of my seat for a review on the new Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid!!! Thanks for your help!

Nice to see so many positive owner experiences with their Volvo. Mark, at Savage Geese had an XC90 for several years. He loved the design, interior... but absolutely savages it in terms of repairs and cost to own.

Re Volvo, excerpts from two letters to the editor in the March/April issue of Car and Driver: “I tested every driver seat and rear seat at the LA. Auto show [ ] none were as comfortable as the Volvo 740 that you noted.” “Our family discovered the joy of Volvo seats more than 20 years ago with our first Volvo, an 850 wagon, and a couple years later an S60 that is in the 300,000 mile club. Our daily drivers today are an XC60 and a C30. It’s primarily the comfortable seats but also the longevity of these cars that keep us coming back.” I’ve owned six other cars in addition to a 3 pedal V70 bought new in 1998, and it’s still a dependable daily driver. Seats? The best, as are those in my ‘23 S60.

Watching your coffee and cars episode #64, and I have owned four Volvos over a span of twenty years, sedan and suvs. They are great vehicles to drive and own and as long as you maintain them they are very reliable. Currently on a 2015 XC60 R Design and a 2020 XC90 R Design.

Andrea is much more natural behind the camera now, no sunglasses and well prepared with information. Zack's always been informative to watch but I like how structured and formatted the reviews are now, makes it easier to find information when I need to rewatch 👍

Zack, the “partly cloudy chance of showers”voice….is too funny”🤦🏾‍♂️ 🤣 🤣🤣

I’ve done a lot of stage performing over the years. Opera and musicals. Some commercials and photo work. Most of it non add-lib. You two make it look easy and comfortable. I was always very nervous before performing. Great, fun episode. Look forward to future episodes. As they say in Canadian Opera, “Merde”.

You guys are crazy 🤣🤣🤣love your show 🤩🤩🤩

I really like the channel.. interesting lead in about the infotainment system and ease of use.. We recently went through the agonizing process of purchasing a new SUV. We ended up (wife’s choice) with a 24 CX-50. We found the choices somewhat limited since our last purchase in 2019.. The Mazda has the dreaded awkward infotainment system controls. For us it’s a problem to look down at the knob to use it while driving. We live in a colder climate, have no indoor parking or outdoor power to plug in.. We wanted a gas motor, AWD or 4WD, “no black wheels” and a comfortable drive. I’m showing my age but talking with others in my generation many are frustrated by the newer styling and controls. We have ended up using the car only when the other person is out with the older car. 3 months in, we have ~1100 miles on and one new tire due to a Pennsylvania pothole encounter.

your doing a fantastic job and the best couple reviewers on this planet! In the last 15y i owned 3 Hyundai, all made me want to put them in a huge garbage bin, breaks got on fire for a cheap faulty piece, one of the car transmission got stuck on a gear and didn't want to change, happened in the highway couldn't even accelarate i was affraid to make the engine get on fire. I leave in Quebec and the truck of my elantra was opening for no reason, so sometimes i was getting a call from neighboors, visits telling me the trunk is open, happened many times in winter, during winter storms and during rainy days, i had to go and shovel inside the trunk, seriously for me never and never again! Oh and i told them all the issue, they said they inspected and nothing was wrong with my cars.... Classic hyundai reaction

Awesome video as usual. By the way, I love those fake radio voices lol. I don't listen to music radio anymore but, listening to Mr. Motormouth's radio voice brings back so many memories. Currently I listen to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 every weekend on IHeart radio. Talk about a time machine. His voice actually sounds very natural. It's so iconic and legendary. His classic shows are on 24 hours a day. Lucky us. 😃

Always love the content!

Yes great to see more buttons for ease of use.

Feedback re Volvo: Unbeatable with regard to comfort. Loved my 2015 XC60 straight six and no problems over 170 000 k. Just replaced it with another white XC 60. I missed the straight six briefly, but comfort and stunning B&W sound sustem is unbeatable. Even better than the fantastic Fender our son's GTI. I think reliability "problems" were mainly related to infotainment when Google system was introduced.

Thank you for the laughs

I'd love to see a video on your yellow GTI!

always enjoy these vids, thanks for taking the time to make them :)

We have a 2020 XC60R built in China, works great so far at 54k kilometres. This is our 5th Volvo…all have been reliable after minor initial quality issues. Love your show!

I drove a 2019 xc40 with the T5 engine, put over 100k km on it without any major issues or engine problems, just the infotainment being unresponsive at times, but loved it. Recently added a polestar 2 last month as well and has been a fun daily driver since!

Forget the cars you'll both make a great comedy act at least someone old enough to know what you're talking about. Love your broadcast.

My wife and I got an X3 last year. I think the infotainment is user friendly for us in our 50's.

Volvo Cars is not the same company as Volvo Corp (industrial conglomerate that is publicly owned and traded). Volvo Corp make trucks, heavy machinery and boat motors, among other things. Likewise, now defunct Saab automobile was not the same company as the Saab Corporation which is very much still alive and is a rather successful defence and aerospace manufacturer, known for its fighter jets. Confusing, I know. But the message is: Volvo cars have nothing to do with Volvo trucks. At all.

Current Volvo owner and big fan of the brand. I've owned a 2008 XC70 3.2L (bought used at 100k mi and put another 100k on it with ZERO issues.) I've owned a 2014 S60 T5 ( inline 5 cylinder turbo) Zero issues. Currently own a 2021 XC50 T5 R Design with Polestar optimization package and have had Zero issues. Yes I know a person or two that have had issues big and small, but very few. If you take care of these cars they will take care of you. The few that I know that have had problems simply didn't do their homework and when shopping used got a bad yr or didn't check to see if certain things had been sorted out. If you do your due diligence you can get a great looking/driving SAFE car at a fair price. I fear most people get more car than they can afford and try to run these Volvos on a shoe string budget and then get issues. Remember people, just because a used Volvo might cost the same as a new or newer Toyota doesn't mean it will be cheap to maintain like one. Used Volvos are cheaper to buy than new, yes but still cost the same to maintain like a new one.

better than most broadcast tv...thanks ....

I own a 2011 XC60 and LOVE it!!! I haven't had many issues and the few issues I had were covered by my warranty. I am planning on purchasing another Volvo within the next year even though my current car still seems new to me :)

I love how you guys have your little arguments 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I own a 2024 Lexus NX 350 hybrid. There is a substantial learning curve to access and use all the car's features. To be honest, I wind screens to be distracting and MUCH prefer voice commands.

A&Z, keep up the good work. Re Volvo: 1. Many may not know Volvo Truck is still Swedish owned. 2. Don't forget the Volvo plant in South Carolina where my Volvo S60 was built. I understand other models are to be built there as well, would make sense. 3. Volvo's reliability isn't the best but a fair assessment would add perspective. Volvo is better than VW, Audi, Lincoln, Chrysler, and Tesla (J D Power 2024 Reliability survey). 4. I'm not a fan of China either but Volvo cars have benefited immensely compared to Saab's fate under GM ownership, not to mention what might have happened to Volvo under Ford.

Great spec on your incoming VW GTI. Enjoy.

You two are too much! I said that already…but boy you are funny and witty! Love u guys! We have been following trying to figure out what to buy, and when…not easy! Should we jump into the future (all electric) and stay back and wait (ICE)…or just wait??? Haha! Not easy! Thanks for everything you are doing! Great job from amazing Canadian hosts (we are following others obviously…) but you…are something else!

I am in sales for 40 plus years and it paved the way to doing local radio and commercials.! It does get easier and people who have people skills have a lot of fun!!

Two XC-40s and we love them. 100% reliable.

I have a 2022 Volvo XC60 mild hybrid and for the most part I love it. The Google system is great and it's very peppy! Had some problems with the software. My complaint is the Volvo is a steak with no sizzle. I wish the dash was more configurable to what I would like to see. Also my Volvo had the B&W sound system. You should give it a listen if you can, and it sounds incredible, 10 out 10 for me.

@billurban1581

I like the XC60 as well, but the Volvo with sizzle is my S60 Recharge PHEV. This sedan is not only pleasing to the eye, triple digit fuel economy over the last 13,500 miles - with 455HP and 523 lb-ft on tap - is eye popping. My last ICE got 29.7. The only prerequisite is, to plug it in every night. Also of interest, sedans are 12 to 15% better on mpg, cleaner on emissions.

I like the Sounddesign stereo they put in a lot of cars!😂

Lol. Very funny u two.. love your show from USA..

Hi from the U.K.! Being a yellow Golf owner myself, I have to say they are great ( although mine is a MK7.5 and not a GTI!) manual is the best!

Other than the too-big infotainment screen in the refreshed GTI, I think the updates are all positive. I think it looks better on the outside, especially the front, and I appreciate the increased number of hard buttons, especially on the steering wheel and the now illuminated temperature control sliders. The slight boost in power doesn't hurt either.

Keep us updated on that yellow VW you ordered with a manual . Great show

I have a 2020 XC 40 R-Design which was manufactured in Belgium. Everything is fine, no issues at all. Thinking to switch it to EX 40, the design was quite sleek and simplistic, my only concern is made in China 😅.

My new Lexus' with the new infotainment system can easily be adjusted by just saying "Hey Lexus" and give it instructions as to what you want it to do. I don't have to take my eyes off the road to interact with the infotainment screen. Not sure why Zack doesn't like the latest Lexus system if you don't even have to touch the screen for many functions. I can adjust the cabin temperature, turn the heated seats on and off, change the radio station, asking it to navigate to a location and my other functions by just talking to the system. The voice control is quite amazing and easy to use.

The next time you're in Toronto cross the border and come visit us in Buffalo NY I have a 2023 Miata you can zip around in. It's a Stick shift based on your urging. We love the car!

The fake radio voice bit was hilarious! I once was given a chance to record an ad for a tire brand, and specifically a particular tire installer, but I sounded like such a nerd, so hyped up, that they never used the ad.

I briefly did a few hours a week on college radio for a semester or so. To this day (I'm 45), I still have anxiety nightmares where I'm trying to fill dead air while finding something else to play and struggling to make the controls work. Nothing but respect for people in broadcast and media careers (and KZread).

I passed on the NX 350h because of the frustrating infotainment system. The only way to change the radio station was a digital scroll button on left side of steering wheel.

Great work as always - thank you! Re: Volvo reliability, my '21 XC60 T5 with 21,000 miles has had but one hiccup, a failed sensor module that was replaced under warranty. City Safety and Driver Assistance features were disabled, but the car was drivable otherwise. Apart from that - and a biding concern for what other tech may fail down the road - I've been appreciating the car more and more, and am very happy with my purchase. Re: Geely, my dealer has told me it's pronounced "JEE-ly" (soft G). Are the corporate people saying different?

Great Job as usual, I have 2018 Hyundai Sonata best vehicle that I have owned. No problems. I am thinking of 2024 Sonata to replace the 2018

Haha it sounded like you said you bangin olefson...lol on another note, I had a journey R/T. Hated the hell out it.. but that alpine system was really good

I drive a 2021 V60 Cross Country. It's been perfect since I've had it. Powertrain is great and I'm getting 8.9 l/100km; It feels solid and safe. The car came with the Polestar optimization chip which increases torque from 250 to 295. I'm seriously considering buying it at the end of the lease; I would get the extended warranty if I buy it. LOVE this car !!

As for car stereo, I have found it depends very much on what unit they use and the car itself. I had a Harmon Kardon system in my BMW M2 and it was very average or even below average. So brand recognition yes but I think it was a very low end system they used.

Question: which year is your Bose systems and what is the setup? My 2015 Murano SL has the Bose, and it's marked as 11-speaker (two trunk under mounted flat-ish subwoofers). It's not bad but you can't really tweak it... Heard Bose makes system setups to the vehicle and you can't custom setup the bass, treble, etc much

We are actually looking for an SUV for my mom as well. She loves the Buick Envision, and it's actually a very nice car.

I think the bose in my 2024 CX5 signature sound very good, a bit impressed...a big improvement from the bose in my 2018 Mazda 6...I'm satisfied...It depends on what kind of music you listen to.

Recently was in market to replace our 6 year old GLC. Came down to Volvo and BMW. I was very impressed with both,especially the Volvo. Recent consumer reports shows a pitiful rating for the Volvo so we went with the BMW. IT WAS NO BRAINER.

I love your reviews. I noticed you have never made a review on the 2024 Toyota Tundra limited off rod TDR. I just purchased one and i looked to see your opinion but have noticed you never reviewed.

There are many BOSE from which to choose. I had BOSE in my 2009 Q7 and it was AWSOME! But then my cousin had a BOSE in a Nissan and it sounded crap. So I guess depends on the configuration. Volvo has an amazing sound system. !

I’m considering buying the BMW X5 CPO because it still has buttons. I think the reliability is fine. I just need to stay on top of the maintenance. I’m not a fan of the RX 350 infotainment system.

A simple compact get a Mirage. Affordable & simple infotainment.

I am with you guys in the sound system. Bose is a hit and miss. My former boss in Florida purchased his wife an Infiniti Q50 right when it came out and my 2015 Silverado LT had a better sound than the Bose in that Infiniti. Also, I cannot stand the Beats Audio system on the Jetta/GLi models. I had a 2017 Jetta GLi with Fender, and a 2019 Passat SE R-Line with Fender, and I can testify it is by far one of the best sound system on cars. From my understanding, VW won an award in 2012 for how good that Fender Sound system was.

Great show, my favourite car presenters and I’m from London. Were you both in show Business previously? Re Volvo I had one and it was very unreliable and at 48k miles needed an engine rebuild and again at 78k miles so I got rid of it. Even worse I tried about 6 Volvo dealers and every single one either broke something or missed something out during the service, when I’d point out work hadn’t been done they’d insist it had even though we both knew the truth. Once bitten never again Volvo.

I was in the market for the EX40 test drove that and the EC40 last year, really great cars but decided on Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD for our road tripper due to CCS charging issues we have had with our 2020 KIA Soul EV. Volvo has adopted the Tesla NACS and will be included in 2025 cars so CCS fast DC charger issues is no longer going to be an issue going forward.

Toyota Signa height looks similar to the Mazda CX-50. Very wagon like!

The branding is just the manufacturer paying for a DSP from the brand. The speakers are still normal and cheap, just tuned via the DSP. The Bose in a CX-50 and Telluride sound near identical and nice. Factory Honda sounds wonderful. It's just cheap speakers for the most part.

factory stereos: the best i've heard have been the Mark Levinson in Lexus and Bowers in Volvo. The best bang for buck stereos are the ELS stereos in Acuras. Not crazy expensive and very good quality!

The quality of any branded stereo is only as good as how much budget the manufacturer allocates to the stereo manufacturer. Though certainly some brands have a consistent sound signature(Bose = boomy low midrange, so much so that in some models, You simply can’t adjust it to sound good.)
