    The Sedan IS a significant amount of legroom over the hatch. Hatch is 29 inches and 5 inches more legroom of the Sedan makes a huge difference so you don't have to figure out who is sitting behind who!

    Great video! I am a BMW enthusiast and I am very disappointed in the design of some of the newer BMW’s. The front looks fine, but rear looks like a Camry. The inside looks cheap. It doesn’t look like a BMW. They are taking away the sporty look. The G30 5 series looks way better than this.

    I was really happy to get my hands on this but the luxury is starting to push more in higher price BMW. The performance is great but the dynamics changed to a little more of a boat than a typical near 50/50 weight distribution. It’s still good but it can feel like it’s lifting instead of staying planted which is my favorite part about BMW. Taking corners and being able to accelerate out of them.

    It’s crazy to think that all Toyota low cars are all CVT-only except for the GR Corolla and 86.

  • @HawkeyeRides
    @HawkeyeRides2 күн бұрын

    It’s a ecvt which is different from a cvt but service is still required about 10k quicker than a traditional transmission like a 6 or 8 speed with gears. The ecvt is better than a cvt as the cvt uses a pulley system with cones connected by belts to change gear ratio. Which requires service around 20-30k. The ecvt is different as it uses a planetary gears instead of a drive belt and conical pulley arrangement and uses different input to get the most efficient gear ratio. But if they go bad, it’s expensive to fix as they sell you a new one or refurbished one. With a normal transmission you can fix the gears or internal problems (rebuild) so it cost less and is known to get a longer life. The ecvt is a lot better than a cvt but not as strong as a zf transmission which is know for 250k plus miles and service every 50/60k miles.

    I'm sure it does but if you keep it long term and problems come like replacing the hybrid battery all the money saved is gone in for another battery.

    @@HawkeyeRides failure rate for hybrid from toyota is low, but they do happen. After the 10 year warranty , there is risk, but my prius cost $800 to $1200 dollars a year to fill compared to by SUV. So you saving several thousand a year, and in Canada we have high gas prices. With every hybrid there is risk, but i think the saving will help buy a new hybrid, but your right, after awhile if you can, best to trade up. But with inflation, more and more people will ride out their cars much longer.

    @@HawkeyeRides Well, except that the Crown is far more expensive and would still be even when comparing a Crown Hybrid Max model for model against a Camry Hybrid Max. Especially if Toyota came out with another entry level TRD version in the SE trim again. I just hope if they do they make the TRD package available in the XSE also. If they're smart they will. And then there's just the fact that the Crown hasn't been a best seller due to it being a "crossover" of sorts that many haven't been able to wrap their heads around. And I think the Camry looks a lot better too. But that's just personal opinion.
