Has anybody tried to put their finger under any ordinary car hood and close it? Why is this applicable only to a Cybertruck?
Whoever keeps reving the BMW… please stop
All of the engineering and technological innovation is impressive and amazing. The shape is fantastic both positive and negative. I conclude that if you want to make a truck statement there's nothing better. If you want a functional truck, there's almost nothing worse.
I like the Signia. But I like the Mazda CX-70 better
I miss the 90s. I guess i found my dream truck.
Can KZread not allow people to upload this car stop reviewing this car The price going to go up 😂
So you prefer to buy GAS or Diesel, Thanks for your review
I recently bought a 2000 Z3 Impala Brown which is a rare color for 4k that had 138k miles on it. New tires, top would come up but the top down was messed up so have to use the pump to do it manually. Its such a fun car I love it!
I’d just be happy if the M340 Touring came to NA cry😢
I think it looks good but interiors is so bland
Thank you guys Your video is very educational 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Look up how much an oil change costs for this car. I've even heard some places won't even do an oil change on it.
Absolutely correct on the comfort mode on the X3 M40i. It actually is still fun to drive it in Comfort, also a good mode when you're trying to arrive somewhere quietly without the exhaust note. The interesting thing I find is that in the sport or sport plus, the exhaust and engine sound is so much fun, I find myself turning the music down to listen to the engine and exhaust instead. I've owned many brands, this has been the most fun suv I've owned ever. Ofcourse the X3M would take it to another level but I find the X3 M40i is a better daily with it's less stiffer suspension and probably a little better road behavior in normal traffic.
I wont buy it without the HUD
Audi, Mercedes, and Volvo are the only brands I know that still sell true wagons… not jacked up in ride height ones, but just normal everyday wagons. The Outback has turned into an SUV, they even market it as one on their website. This is probably the closest thing to a wagon from a mainstream brand.
could you lift this ever so slightly? I am just thinking about putting some slightly more aggressive tires on this and having a luxe stealth adventure vehicle. Just thinking out loud. Don't shoot me.
With the wild discounts going on before you get to the 4500 cash allowance at the moment, these cars are very enticing for people like me that were looking at other brands. All they had to do if they were that dead set against a mode button, they could have made the main screen customizable with shortcuts for ......MODES
I'm cool with a Honda Acty.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I still need a crown sport in america!
excellent. thanks
HOLY CRAAAAP!!! We get it, you guys don’t like the styling. Good grief almighty! Now, I’m biased, because I’m in the crazy minority that thinks this may be the best looking M3/4 since the E90/92/93. And I’m not saying that to be a contrarian; seeing this car in person, I honestly haven’t been so enthralled by a sports like this…possibly ever. The front isn’t the prettiest, but I’m nowhere near bothered by it the way you guys are. The lines of this car, the stance, the rear, all 10/10 in my book. Not to mention the performance. Every time I see one (and being in socal, it’s practically every day) I find myself just staring at them. I really don’t get the hate! I know some (probably MOST) of it is just bandwagon talk from people who don’t think for themselves, but I don’t think you guys fall into that category. Anyways, LOVE your videos, despite the M hate. Full disclosure, I’m not even the biggest BMW guy, I’ve been driving CTS v’s and mustangs for the last 30 years! Speaking of which, I don’t recall you guys testing the black wing, but maybe I overlooked it.
I realize you guys are in Utah and quite literally climbing a mountain, but that drone is beyond irritating🙉 I know for most of us who live in flatter states that would only happen occasionally, but it would still drive me insane. I do like the idea of a hybrid, but I'm afraid I'd have to go with something like a Lexus that gives you either a V6 or turbo 4 (with decent hp/tq on it's own) to help charge the batteries and climb hills in a far less stressed manner. I don't mind engine noise when I'm winding it out and bouncing off the rev limiter...but the constant drone in this Insight is something else, and not good.
"The Alfa might only be in the shop"...uhm, that's why unless you have money to burn you do not buy an Alfa, especially a used Alfa. I truly appreciate Lexus because they emphasize quality. That means a person like me can buy a USED one and still have a good reliable car that I can put another 100k miles on with no problem.
The have an awesome video in Ukraine offoading in the mud in sand with hybrid model
There is a Camry wagon, in that same color, just down the street from me. It's in good shape, no real rust showing. It won't die, it seems.
Australian word but Australia is not getting it ? Your loss Hyundai
So it's the second generation of the Venza that we deserve whereas the second gen Venza is really just a relaxed styled RAV4.
Now let's just wait half a decade or so for the revision to fix the excessive wind noise around the a-pillars and the redesign of the lower front door seals to keep doors free from mud and slush deposits.
I am so annoyed at this review. Sure, if you are going to constantly have someone who is 6'3 in the passenger seat then it is a valid criticism. But honestly most people drive a car like this by themselves most of the the time. And maybe there might be a girl in the passenger seat. How many 6'3 females do you know? This is an incredibly annoying, self-centered review. I personally cannot remember the last time I had a 6'3 person in my passenger seat and if I did, then for that one time, I guess that person would have had to deal with it. If you want a family sedan then you are not looking at this car. This is for a single person who wants some spice in his or her driving experience and might have someone in the passenger seat with the rare occasion of someone in the back seat. By the way, sit diagonal in the back seat and you'll be fine. This is not a family sedan! Why are they comparing it to a Camaro if it is supposed to be a family sedan? Like when I hear reviewers trash the back seat of the GR86 or BRZ. HELLO! The back seat is just there for insurance purposes and to throw some stuff on. Just a dumb review!!!
BTW, the Stinger is a POS! I truly do not understand car reviewers. They act as if reliability somehow doesn't matter and as if everyone is earning 100k a year. A person of modest means can buy a used one of these and still have a reliable car as opposed to buying a new Stinger (no longer made) and going to the dealership for repairs and hoping the repair costs aren't so bad once it's out of warranty. So the back seat is cramped. So what? It reminds me of my dad's 1972 Ford Torino. it was a two door. For a good time in my life I was able to get into the back seat as a kid. Then, by the time I truly outgrew the back seat, it was time to take my own driver's test and get my own car, which was a 1982 Chevy Monte Carlo. Again, not a lot of room in the back seat. I didn't care! We live in such a woosified era!
Perfect for someone who rarely has anyone in the back seat anyway.
love the video; hate the Cybertruck
With those tyres that would explode if you go over a tiny pea sized pebble, that's not a wagon... Neither an SUV...
Aren’t you paying more for what is essentially a camry ? This is over 4000 pounds with a few more horses than a camry and ecvt? How is it a good deal paying an extra 10k for few horses maybe 8 horses and a heavier slower car ?
The real crown sedan sold in japan sits higher than this in the lineup
You guys are hilarious! I think y'all should get a Signia and GR-it-up for Toyota. #AnotherProjectCar 😀 Thanks for posting!
Toyota make good cars, trucks and SUVs but i feel like they never look or feel nice enough to justify the price. I've never owned one, but that is basically why. I guess I just don't like Toyotas.
You're the outlier.
I bought a '24 Santa Cruz SE AWD and I'm totally obsessed with it! I keep watching these videos because i like it so much. I used to drive Hondas and Fords but Hyundai has won me over with this thing and I couldn't be happier. The design team deserves awards for the look and feel of this car. Love at first sight!
I dislike the cockpit and display. Give me a proper dashboard and Head-Up Display with navigation so I don't have to refer to the center stack while driving, and I can do 95% without moving my eyes from the windshield.
I don't like the weird Crown "sedan" that we have in the states, I wish that car never existed and we just got the real sedan that the Japanese market has. This Signia is definitely much nicer and I hope we get the other Crown CUV.
I think Toyota nailed it as far as features, functions and benefits go. Looks are subjective and apparently expensive.
noobs
Well, it's not gonna break down, and it's gonna run forever. You do have to give it that. 😃
Our family had a 1995 Toyota Camry Wagon V6 LE. The Camry Wagon had a rear facing 3rd row which as a kid growing up in one was like luxury. Always a wagon fan ever since (currently driving a 2002 IS300 SportCross).
I hear CVT drone during the test drive . . . no thanks
Yeah. Wagons are coming back. Volvo and Subaru kept them in the States but bring back more options. Hope Mazda follows. How many SUV and CUV actually go off dirt roads?
there are over 3000 CyberTruck - I believe that a majority of them are in CA/West Coast and Texas (where they are made). Why be surprised unless you are in a low population state?
I went from a 2020 CRV Black Edition to the 2023 Passport Trailsport and the size difference is the reason why. Not sure what you are talking about. So much more room overall. CRV is not a comparable.
My next new car.
