2019 BMW X5 Test Results; Which Cars Should Be Brought Back From the Dead? | Talking Cars

[@adrienlac]

This was a very enjoyable episode. I really like these hosts together.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Just when I thought my admiration of Jennifer had reached its peak, we learn that she spent her formative years in a genuine Ford Crown Victoria station wagon. No wonder she dispenses such super-sensible advice with ease and elegance in every episode she graces. When considering the virtues of Ford's last full-size wagons, the film "The Fabulous Baker Boys" would be a far more helpful resource than those execrable National Lampoon movies. #SaveTheWagon

The BMW Review starts at 07:30

Not all heroes wear capes 🙌

[@nunyabizness1269]

God bless you

[@davidm5707]

For a while, I had my heart set on getting a lightly-used, off lease C300. Then I looked at the projected cost of ownership over five years and it was nearly twice that of a new "normal" car. With that, and reliability, that dream went out the window.

[@apache-yaquibrown4060]

So glad to see Jenn, the best and most practical reviewer, she speaks clearly, enunciates, and maintain a consistent volume. Still miss Tom 💔💔💔. I would bring back the Datsun B210, one of the best car I ever owned, rear wheel drive, light weight, easy to maintain, and roomy for its' size. Haha 😆😀 LTD 1979 was my first new car, went on so many adventures took a beating, was comfortable. I ran it to the ground.

[@IamGroot786]

OMG, wasn't this a tiny station wagon? This was my second car after my first one died. It was so good, I loved it!

[@sunshinelawfan7693]

Hortencia Moreno - Lol. My B210 was a dull pumpkin color (cat barf.) No radio or AC! In Florida, no less. Sold it for $400, a regret. Bet it ran for years...

[@roguedogx]

0:19 prelude would be my number one pick for cars to bring back......please Honda.

[@swanblake]

S2000

[@scottvickery2057]

roguedogx they’d probably make it an suv.😕

[@f181234]

roguedogx I dunno if people would buy a large fwd coupe there’s not much of a market for them

[@rightlanehog3151]

Can we bring back a car from the living rather than the dead? Just last week the new Corolla wagon started production in England. #SaveTheWagon

[@thetruth-gq1lw]

People want vinyl albums because they have a warmer, richer sound than digital. It's been a trend for several years now. Love the show!

[@louislopez55]

Honda CRX and Chevrolet Chevelle. And Honda could you please bring back the Nighthawk S motorcycle!

[@hkm_865]

Im 18 and absolutely love cars. Since 16 I’ve owned a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee (junk), 03 Yukon Denali, 04 Silverado 2500, and now I have a 92 f350 4 door 5 speed diesel and another 05 Yukon Denali XL which I love. They’ve all been cheap Craigslist purchases but tons of fun. If your in high school and looking for a first car I would recommend an 03-06 GM SUV (Yukon, Tahoe, suburban, Escalade) they’re cheap, reliable, powerful, and comfortable... forget the econoboxes with cloth seats and trash speakers that your parents recommend 😂

[@jesusavalentin5439]

Yes,there may be some more consumption, but my rav4 batteries charge fine during the winter. Car consumption is greater because its idling quite a bit. Got to keep warm :)

[@roguedogx]

Also, as a 6 foot three individual, who has sat in most of those cars. Yes, you will fit in all of those. The first car that I bought with my own money was a 2000 Toyota echo, and even with a race helmet on, I still had plenty of space. (Side note, Toyota Echo makes a surprisingly good track car with a manual) For my money, the accord is the best bet, if a bit common. I'd also look at the scion xb. Me and my taller older brother can sit behind each other in that car. Cars to avoid, most gm cars. You'll often have plenty of head room, but rarely any knee room. When, me and my brother sat behind each other at a hummer at the auto show. Crunch! Knees destroyed.

[@rightlanehog3151]

We are the same height and, in my opinion, Toyota may be the most guilty of reducing headroom with each new iteration of their cars. #SaveHeadRoom

[@miniena7774]

Giant freak!

[@Emissary52]

I'm with Jennifer! Bring back station wagons! A nice Toyota Corolla wagon or Honda Civic wagon like they had in the 90's (with safety features) would suit me fine! Chevy Chase killed the Country Squire station wagon in that National Lampoon movie with the dead Aunt strapped to a chair on the roof rack! Guess I'll buy a RAV4 or Forester in Fall 2019 (let them work more bugs out!) and be content!

[@rightlanehog3151]

In the case of the Corolla wagon, they don't have to bring it back they just have to bring it over from Europe. #SaveTheWagon

[@AntonEMaes]

Looking at the Audi E-tron my guess is wagons will come back as EVs because the super tall SUV shape just kills range.

[@gavin6090]

Craig S. Sanders Ikr? Wagons are great. I wish they would bring the Mazda6 wagon to the US. It’s so pretty and much more practical than a CX-5, CX-3, and the regular 6

[@IamGroot786]

My second car was that little Datsun 210 Wagon!

[@anthropology4everyone622]

The Ford Country Squire rules!!!!

[@joemcdonough7509]

25:35 The other bank is bankrupt....LOL

[@jimmelay71]

No surprise on the Volvo reliability since most of the production occurs in China now.

[@robwatt7001]

We still have our 2001 Highlander, with 194,543 miles. Touch wood, not one drop of anything on the garage floor. Take care of it and it will take care of you. The AWD system is great.

[@sunshinelawfan7693]

Element! Love my 2010 toaster. Hope it runs forever...

[@elementkx]

Acura Legend. Hands down.

[@AntonEMaes]

Good guy Acura: Calls car legend. Is actual legend.

[@LlyleHunter]

Eldorado, Riviera, Electra and Wildcat are names that I’d like to see return. I also hoped that Cadillac would have done a six inch stretch on the CT6 trimmed up the interior accoutrements and called it the CT60 Special.

[@Mr5Stars]

Great video, that's for the funny last moments........so true about unreliable cars and extended warranties....if you UNDERSTAND extended warranties contracts......DO GET and EXCLUSIONARY WARRANTY...... it's usually the most expensive because it covers EVERYTHING, except a list of items they provide you. I am in Love with my beautiful, sexy used 2014 Jaguar XJL with it's EXCLUSIONARY WARRANTY. At only six months of ownership, the one oxygen sensor failed. Really like this car, so im ok with it.

[@michaelbuzby]

Max Power I have this exact warranty on my 12 Audi A6 Prestige, zero dollar deductible. Cost me a bit, but I’m not worried.

[@robs4574]

Mike I’m so glad you picked a Saab! I loved my old one!!

[@Mag-dn9bk]

I have a 2016 X5 diesel. The car is good, engine is great. However, so many squakes and rattles they cannot get rid of. And the dealership experience, Bob Smith BMW is just horrible. My 2 c. And talking to my friends who have BMWs, same dealer experience. Going down, and down, and down.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Broke My Wallet.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Very interesting video!

[@carenk.5442]

Young people buying the cars with old school names is an opportunity to connect with the older generation so I wouldn't overlook that aspect.

[@ethan02135]

Great video as always!

[@robinyu75]

I think "Question 3: First Car Under $5K?" Kia Soul 10'-13' would be fit that question.

[@gavin6090]

For the last question- the Lexus RX450h would be a good step up

[@colechapman6976]

Baja and a new FJ Cruiser would be cool to see. Offroad SUVs are really popular, and the FJ Cruiser still has a huge following. Their prices nowadays show that there are very desirable. Offroad cars are as popular as ever, and the FJ Cruiser is like the offroad car. It has a design that makes it stand out from the crowd and retro designs are becoming popular. VW Made their class VW bus into an electric van with cool modern touches, so I think it's entirely plausible for Toyota to bring back the Cruiser with much fanfare. The Baja would be another cool truck to bring back. A 5-seater city truck would sell well, especially for Subaru, since it has been known to appeal to people with active lifestyles that live in the suburbs or city. Hyundai made the Santa Cruz, and Ford released the Maverick which have done well sales-wise. Subaru already has a bunch of SUVs, wagons, and sedans, but it's missing out on the crucial city or small truck market. If they released an updated Baja, I think it would do well. Especially if they give it 8.7 inches of ground clearance, rugged materials, and added an extra seat

[@thwipp89]

@consumer reports: if we really want to get an extended warranty, how do we know if we're getting a good deal or taken to the cleaners?

[@mrbart518]

Great episode...

[@jahern8]

Celica! Yes!

[@La-yt1wr]

The Saab brand should come back and the Toyota Venza

[@rightlanehog3151]

Yes to the Venza but with reasonable sized rims.

[@peterfalkiner-rose744]

Why does the set have three mics that aren’t connected in front of the hosts? I can see that the hosts have neck mics on

[@lucienlasocki2544]

Why not look at a Lexus RX450h or RX400h as a step up from the Highlander hybrid?

[@joshuastein5295]

He probably wants a 3-row SUV, and even with the 3-row RX L, consumer reports says the third row is essentially useless and cramped even for children.

[@IamGroot786]

Mike from Chicago with that Ridgeline guys. Sorry for not providing all the details. I work only three days a week and not far. Overall, I end up driving the Ridgeline maybe 6K miles per year also because we do have another vehicle so the mileage gets split between the two of them.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Your annual mileage and climatic conditions are very similar to mine. I use Amsoil Signature Series oil in my engine and rest easy with annual oil change intervals.

[@IamGroot786]

@@rightlanehog3151 Thanks! It is a daily driver but I don't have a long commute and only work 3 days a week. On top of that, we do have another vehicle so the mileage gets split between the two. Basically, I put maybe 8K miles/year on the Ridgeline.

[@cafe80s]

Honda... Please make a non-turbo Prelude!!

[@maeng97]

I think the person with the Highlander can go for the RX350, because if he wanted something reliable and premium, a Lexus is always the way to go.

[@AntonEMaes]

Buick Electra as an EV.

[@6SpeedTA95]

You guys realize that the Germans have come quite a ways in reliability, specifically Audi with the comment at the end. They've climbed the ranks of reliability in numerous industry surveys. Companies typically associated with reliability like Honda and Acura have been suffering. This can also vary significantly from model to model but generally the Germans have made significant strides in reliability.

[@EM.1.]

The new Cherokee is a sales success, not sure what jon is talking about

[@MrCarpediem6]

So in my opinion a car's name is the soul or the spirit of a vehicle. I don't think the new Supra, is really like the supras of old, for eg.. But if you look at the new blazer, for some reason or another it seems to capture the essence of the older Blazers. Hopefully car manufacturers understand that.... I Toyota felt the need to call a brand new cross over a Camry, and it was it sloping Coupe version of a crossover, it's lost the essence of whatever a Camry was.. But if they called the venza a rebadged Camry wagon, I can see how that could still be called a Camry

[@timshelby2324]

SkyLark, Regal, Catalina,Capri, Falcon,Comanche ,Cortina, Parisienne, Wild Cat, Park ave, DeVille, Eldorado .Dont get me started . Just don't do what Mitsubishi did with the Eclipse and use it on a totally different class on vehicle .

[@mmmmm5556]

For real.. Bring back the VW Fox.. I loved mine. and have manual transmission option. A couple fun names.. The Edsel.. the 57 Chevy... which I probably won't be alive to see the 2057 Chevy.. so bring it back early

[@mss627]

Vinyl records? Ford Country Squire? Just how old is Stockburger anyways?

[@normt5463]

I still have my 2004 Saab 9-5 Arc wagon!

[@67daltonknox]

Suspect heated arm rests are just another item that will fail. An increasing part of new car down time is related to the electrics..

[@garthhowe297]

Good episode. I would like an electric vehicle, as it would fit my retired low mileage lifestyle. However, I live in Ontario Canada, where we have pretty long cold winters. As my sole vehicle, I don't know whether an EV would be suitable for the occasional much longer drives.

[@rightlanehog3151]

A hybrid sounds like the perfect choice. The new RAV4 Hybrid will be built in Ontario.and get you 50 miles to the Imperial gallon.

[@Modhumitamondal]

very very nice

[@ajlee6933]

An Accord & Camry with auto emergency braking for 5k? Ha! Good luck finding that....

[@SavagexRaccoon]

If i could i would bring back the honda s2k or chevy ss both with NA motors 6 speed manual or automatic or the chevy ssv ute from Australia

[@mcalebeb]

Wood panels for life!

[@robwatt7001]

X5 is a great car. AWD is great.

[@cyco1978]

They could of just Killed the Supra , that half ass attempt of a car 🗑🚮

[@jaekob2743]

I want Volvo C30 back!!!

[@fmartino100]

It seems more and more care makers are coming out with talking cars....

[@jimmelay71]

Almost all the "SUVs" made today are just tall station wagons.

[@nattga]

Subaru Baja and Justy!

[@aidenp5768]

I got in a new X5 50i and I feel like it’s worth 120k I’m sorry but it feels and is and the quality is expensive. The X5 was kinda always the king of SUVs. In my opinion at least.

[@PaulHo]

Element. FJ Cruiser. 318ti. C30.

[@QuietStormX]

In any vehicle if you Read and View the pictures in the Owners Manual you learn the features and systems in them to use properly.. It shouldn't be complicated at all...

[@swanblake]

Bring back the Datsun 510. I want a small, RWD, manual transmission, sedan style car (Nissan iDX) that's under $36k

[@marcitecture]

I get uncomfortable when Dracula says "long in the tooth."

[@mmmmm5556]

OH.. and the Porsche 914.. with a stick shift

[@Deuteross]

Apart from the oversized grille, this X5 actually looks very generic.

[@robwatt7001]

BMW started the twin turbo, not Ford.

[@selvync.9531]

Dodge Magnum or Toyota Cellica GT-S

[@thwipp89]

the biggest a-holes on the road, by and large, are easily BMW drivers. it's not even close.

[@jeffreysegal2065]

So, yeah...if you think you're getting active safety features in a $5000 car you must have been breathing exhaust fumes. You'll be lucky to get ABS that still works. I bought 6 used cars in the last year and even at $8000 the brakes and tires were toast.

[@andreyforero665]

Thunderbird

[@AbdAbd-xo3ge]

👍👍

[@hereigoagain5050]

Hey guys, I'm a big fan. But do you need both the lapel mics and the retro 1960 mics? It looks like your eating sausages while you talk. I bet you wear belts and suspenders :)

[@danielthomas3333]

These talking cars episodes are a waste of time and do nothing to further the cause of consumerism

[@buzman1985]

#funMomvibe

[@wwaytobe]

No, used cars with all the extra stuff just make new drivers worse at driving. Oh cool I can look at my phone because my car will stop for me! BAD BAD, Teaching poor driving Tech! New driver need safe but low tech cars. Learn to drive the car with one thing in mind DRIVING the car! ESC LDW all are for the people that can't drive and need a bubble in life. I like CR but DO NOT agree with this push for safety nannies!

[@miniena7774]

Nonsense ‘review’.

[@DJL78]

I couldn’t get through more than 80 seconds of this. Who wants to watch two parents and their gay neighbor talk about old car names? Good god this is horrific content.

[@MMchannels]

very very nice
