Suffice to say, the AUDI Q3 - 40 TFSI has a decent size and display, however a suboptimal drive quality with a horrendous NVH factor ( noise vibration harshness ) as well as a substantially low fuel consumption. My Q3 barely gives 12-15 mpg in the city. Last but not least, unexpectedly, the customer service provided by the Audi Sales & General Manager (Audi Wynnewood-Philadelphia) was poor at best.

Cvt kills it for me. My dad owned a 2013-2015 altimas and the transmissions in every single one went out before 120k miles. Plus the CVT gives you this rubber band effect that makes the car feel unnatural. I dont understand why they havent moved over to a dual clutch set up like there competitors

I never really felt the rubber band effect everyone is talking about until driving this car. It does feel un-natural for sure. A dual clutch is great, one of my favorite transmissions out there is VW/Audi/Porsche (PDK) dual clutch, but it does require a bit of extra maintenance. I think a traditional 8 speed auto would do the Altima wonders!

My 2014 Silverado turned over 105K miles and I'd been looking at buying a new truck. I was kind of set on a Jeep Gladiator, not that I need a 4x4 but I thought it looks really cool. Found out they have some issues. Considered a Colorado, a Canyon. Well yesterday I pull into the Chevy lot and am looking at the Silverado's when the white custom just like in this video, 2 wheel drive though, caught my eye. The salesman walks up, he saw my DV license plate, "A Vet huh, I am too, thanks for your service." A short conversation of military life , then he says, "you like this one?" We go inside, he does some figuring, offers me $12K for my 2014, sticker price $46,545 then $6K in various discounts. Bought it, and I love it. Only put less then 50 miles on it, short trips so far. White, those 20 inch bright silver wheels, really fill the wheel wells, taller stance, blacked out front end, white bumpers, black interior, stereo sounds great. Turbomax really gets it on. Beautiful Truck! Yeah, I'm happy as can be.

My husband got me a 2025 Chevy Trailblazer RS Iridescent Pearl and Black in color for my Birthday! Not going to lie I did want this color but it wasn't available for a while. I love it although I've only had it for about a month and still figuring things out on it. I am 6 ft tall and have plenty of leg room and head room in it.

Missing power autofolding mirror and electronic differential lock, rear seat console is missing no rear 12v or usb outlet, no rear ventilation, optional rear floor mate doesn’t cover part of rear seat. Rear seat can’t be locked in case there’s something expensive in the trunk, emergency key is so cheap.

Great video, very thorough review of everything. I drove a 2024 KIa Soul LX rental and it had wireless android auto, wondering why this one wouldn't also have that, being a higher trim. Was also wondering about the center cluster menu. I didn't see any menu where you could change various settings as i had in my 2024 rental. Did your tester not have a menu like that? Also wanted to ask you if the EX soulmate edition has a sunroof? I've seen some online with sunroofs, and I'm wondering if that is country specific or not.

@ I’ve leaned towards 7 and 7.5 due to the physical hand brake and more conventional displays. My wife has a 2024 Atlas and the enterior is great for a family SUV but it doesn’t seem like it would fit in the R. I could be wrong though. But I need to upgrade, my GR86 is to small for the family

No remote start wtf is that for a car that costs 60-70K? The car doesnt have TPMS sensors either. It will only tell you if a tire has low pressure. If you're headed to work and get that light good luck. You wont know if the car is leaking air or just low. The cup holder location???? TF is that? Im pissed i bought one and spent the money I did

What's a good out the door price on this? I seen on online for 53k and It includes Convenience Package III, Power sunroof, Technology Package, Off Road Lighting Package, Bose® premium audio system, Underbody Cameras, Accessory power distribution box, auxiliary interior switch plate, Cargo bed LED lighting, All-weather floor liners, Black exhaust tip, tailgate decal package, Black nameplates, and front license plate bracket. With taxes and fees it's around 59k. Is 59k a good price or what's the lowest I can possibly negotiate after taxes and fees?
