The 2020 Hyundai Venue Is a Surprisingly Cool Tiny SUV - Doug DeMuro kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qUimBnprSWlas

“See you in the comments!” Oh you planned this. I like your style

[@BeefIngot]

I wrote this as a standalone comment then I saw this pinned comment here and figured it had a higher chance of being seen. I love me the Alanis King videos 9n this channel. She has great energy with Doug. They both match each others enthusiasm and taste for just the worst, weirdest automobiles. She also seems to have a similar memory of all the oddballs so it fun to hear them bounce back and forth with their oddball opinions. Its always hard to give constructive feedback to someone on the internet, especially when you already enjoy what they do, because you dont want to put a damper on their day if they just breeze past the comment and take it as an overall negative one, especially because for them this experience is many to one when for me its one to one, but that being said, I do think there is one area that would make me like Alanis King content even more. Sometimes when she is expressing her love of a vehicle with that signature squeal, (and thats great, and a part of her character), it feels like the squeal ends up replacing/overstepping the rest of her opinion on the vehicle she's talking about (maybe because Doug thinks shes done talking or conversation pacing or whatever reason), when I really like and want to hear the full opinion with all the nuance of the opinion and about all the little stupid details Im sure both she and Doug are absolutely jaw drop enamoured with (which is great and part of what makes the dynamic so good). Hopefully this came across well if its ever seen and I dont come across like an ass. I really like the Doug x Alanis videos and that great dynamic and wealth of knowledge they both bring so this comment was in no way meant to come across as overall negative or at all harsh. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@StreetPreacherr]

But, isn't that SLINGSHOT thing essentially DESIGNED to be a FUN car? It's obviously not a practical vehicle, so if it wasn't intended to be FUN then what other reason does it have for existing? As soon as I looked at that car I think FUN was probably the first thing that came to mind!

[@swalling22]

She always has the interesting answers 👍 I’m here for it

[@seattleraf]

It kind of felt like she was just making fun of her picks for how much they were on the other side of the spectrum

[@blackonegreyone]

Kudos to the Hyundai Venue for bringing back the Denim option. I had denim seats in my first car (1980 AMC Jeep Cherokee Chief) and it really was a fantastic, fun, easy-ish interior. Funny enough, that car also made me feel like a bus driver.

[@rolandalfonso6954]

But the vehicle can sit in the sun all day and won't burn your legs... leather sux in hot climes! All good!

[@benkromminga5739]

Doug gave Alanis a lot of crap for the Corolla and Venue, but I actually found those two choices the most interesting. Most Porsches are beyond my reach so it's more relatable to hear about cars the I could actually afford.

[@AaronAnsari]

agreed - less poo-poo-ing of her opinions and more embracing of her perspective

[@usmcplu]

A manual Toyota Corolla ABSOLUTELY represents the spirit of "They Are More Fun Than You Might Think". To add, not only is the GR Corolla great, but the manual XSE Hatchback Corolla is too.

[@damienlee1165]

It's crazy how good the Corolla hatches look, especially with how chunky the Civics have gotten.

[@jasonfleming7398]

I would say a Civic Si or even manual Civic Sport blow Corollas outta the water for fun driving feel. I’ve driven both and the Corolla is so dull and boring compared to a Civic.

[@looper451]

Totally agree. I want a XSE hatchback with a manual so bad. But they’re marked up like crazy right now, along with everything else. Where else can you go to get a manual, lightweight, no fluff, inexpensive, RELIABLE, great looking hatchback? It checks all the boxes

[@usmcplu]

@@jasonfleming7398 I'm with you. I'm a Civic guy myself, but new (non-GR), sportier Corollas bridge that gap between Corolla and Civic a little more than they used to. Especially with V-Tech no longer "kickin' in yo", like it used to at the end of the RPM range (which made it feel a little extra special and rewarding for high rpm rips). Now Corollas get beautiful, white moonstone leather interior with awesome seats and luxury bits. You still get stick shift. The short wheel base makes this thing handle like a spider. You're right though, it's still a little duller than a Civic Si, but you have to WORK for those fun moments and that's the spirit of these entry level "sporty" cars. Back then, none of these cars were great BTW. They were all limp and lackluster. You had to modify them. Nothing's changed now. People expect everything to be awesome from the factory, but that' s never been the case with these economy grade Japanese cars. If you want something less dull, YOU have to make it less dull.

[@-BuddyGuy]

​@@usmcpluOld civics had double wishbone suspension at the front and old corollas had rear wheel drive, if you were willing to drive the stink out of them they were properly rewarding. I think with Japanese cars there's nothing unnecessary there, and with that kind of simplicity and reliability it's really easy to take it to the limit and understand exactly what will happen. You don't really get that with American cars or European cars which will do a wibble wobble or blow up or both

[@nunyabusiness896]

An AZ-1 can fit up to probably 6'6" if you take out the seat bottom foam (like 2 seconds, super easy and tool-less) and replace it with a thin yoga mat cut to size. Then, add a quick release (tilt or full removal) and an adapter ring to telescope the wheel out about 3". Do these two things and it's very drivable for a taller person.

[@yaboirico5221]

I'm 5'1" and I'll still probably feel cramped yet unable to touch the pedals (kinda kidding but I bump into things getting into my FRS)

[@Tential1]

Alanis is a great addition. She's not here to snob about cars, she likes cars. I love it.

[@epicseadragon1692]

Lol, I think Alanis should travel to France to test cars there! If she loves the underpowered cute cars, she'll have a ball :D

[@fritzkuhne2055]

Imo cars are not underpowered, you just have to drive them differently. know when to drop a gear, carry speed through the corner and so on. also these cars are typically smaller and weigh less, which kind of equals out the low power. the low weight also makes it easy going around bends faster than even some sporty big cars.

[@epicseadragon1692]

Oh absolutely! That's why they remain cool to drive!

[@looper451]

Yeah but then she would have to be in France and nobody wants that. Not even the French.

I’m with Alanis on this one. I have a 13 Corolla, and I love it. Yes, it’s slow, unexciting, and super plastic-y (just like new Corollas), but it always gets me home, including through the snow, and it still has an average of 30 mpg after 11 years. I do wish mine was a manual. That’d be interesting.

Yeah, but the prompt was cars that are more fun than you might think. Everyone can agree Corollas are reliable little cars, but having had a base trim Corolla as a rental car, it isn’t any more fun than people might think. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad car, it delivered exactly what I expected it to.

Keep this up man it's great stuff, and please keep bringing Alanis to these, she's a gem!

[@gat-x105strikegundam5]

Based opinion

[@sweetdeliciouscake]

I'm kinda with @AlanisKing on the "low power cars are fun" thing. My first car was an X1/9, probably 75HP when it was new. The thing is, you don't have to go anywhere special to wring a car like that out - you can drive it flat out without breaking the law.

[@bwofficial1776]

I'd rather have something like a Miata or an X1/9 that I can use all of its power on a winding back road and still be under the speed limit and the car's limits. I don't understand the point of monster horsepower for the road. Where can you use all that power safely and legally? Give it a little too much gas in the wrong place and it'll be sliding off the road into something that's going to be very expensive to hit. Slow car fast and all that.

[@goo_dragon]

one of the most fun cars I've ever owned was a 95 Nissan 200SX SE-R with a manual... It could barely climb up a hill but god was it an experience

[@goldengrill769]

We are trying to defend her and give a chance but I think its a bit much to bring up TWO sub 20k cars she rented at an airport like at least bring in something classy like a Chevy Tahoe Performance Edition, that thing looks like ass and smokes ass on the dragstrip.

[@alpaljl]

Driving a slow car fast is sooooooooooooo much fun.

[@JimPekarek]

I respect Alanis for the manual Corolla. It's a lot of fun to drive a cheap manual car you don't give a shit about, rather than needing to be constantly hyper-aware of the possibility of scratching/denting your ultra-rare expensive sports car.

[@owenrodgers8020]

We all know a rental (spec) car is the funniest thing in the world

[@henryrodgers7386]

I've actually driven a Venue. It's quite a good little car, all things considered. It's small, fairly nimble, comfortable even for a fairly large person, and it has a great warranty. It's MILES ahead of the Aveo you compared it to... it fills the same role, but far better. It's not fast, but it's better that a crappy little econobox SHOULD be. If that makes sense.

[@danpom1426]

Yeah, I’ve got a manual one with the 1.0 turbo that makes around 120hp. It’s a really practical car and the build quality for the price is great.

[@kennethporter992]

I got one as a rental once and hated it lol.

[@jkinghorn]

A couple of Alanis picks sound like pining for the days of yore when cars were just simpler/cheaper. I think a lot of people nowadays look back on their bread and butter cars they had in the 80s and 90s, the Cavaliers, the Celicas, the Blazers(s10 model) very fondly. Many had no power, slushy shifters,, what not, but they were fun, and today with all the sound deading and everything has over 300hp but weighs over 2 tons, and all the tech and traction control and what not they're not as 'fun' as that old beater you drove in your 20s, so for that, good picks. :)

[@Hvitserk67]

I have had the pleasure of driving a Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo on the German Autobahn and it is truly fantastic in that context. It has massive power and the acceleration from, for example, 170 to 240 Km/h (105 to 150 mph) is lightning fast and like a super sports car. The comfort is very good, but the driving dynamics are absolutely fantastic. You quickly forget that you are sitting in an electric car. It's so good and you really just sit and smile the whole way through.

I Wonder if its the same scenario as with dacia sandero. Drove one couple of years ago, like an old shitbox in a good way. Manual, 1 litre engine goes to 5k rpm in a blink, cars noses shoots up and you go

[@ProtoAzula]

One of my favorite cars I've ever drove was an 05 buick century. It's not necessarily fast, but it has loads of torque considering the engine, doesn't handle too bad, and is really comfortable and easy to work on and maintain. Plus, it's slow and quiet enough to be able to truly push to its limits and no one will bat an eye. But don't let that fool you, it can break its tires loose on a dry, hot, summer day

[@goldengrill769]

Doug after meeting Alanis: OK hell with it... *ahem* THIS is the Hyundai Venue!

[@trdrav4]

Alanis likely drove either the regular Corolla SE or the SE Apex Edition as a press vehicle last year; the Apex is more bare bones in features but has the stiff suspension, so she is correct on that rental aspect but the regular SE is a little better equipped in which it has a moonroof. Either way, Toyota decided to kill the manual transmissions for 2023 on the regular Corollas (obviously not GR)

[@riccochet704]

The big problem with the SLK55 is the price. They haven't come down to where I think they should be, which is low to mid 20's. They're still fetching $35-45k. And if you haven't found one where the hydraulics for the top haven't been replaced, well, just run away. That's a $5000-6000 repair.

[@aaryeshg.6526]

There's also a CLK 55 coupe and a C 55 too... bit rare however. Those are powered by the same engine and the weight is negligible. Plus those don't have the convertible roof to deal with.

[@robgates4217]

This is not true at all. 30k is the top of the market for SLK55s unless you want a P30 which are super rare anyway so good luck finding one.

[@riccochet704]

@@robgates4217 There are only 2 available within 200 miles of my, according to autotrader. A 2009 and 2010, both with 60k'ish miles on them, both have an asking price of $39k and $40k. Maybe the market is different where you live, but I don't live where you live.

[@lawrencefearon6830]

Forget about the SLK55 coming down. IF anything they're appreciating because Mercedes cant build them anymore. Where you think they should be is unjustified by the spec.

[@robgates4217]

@riccochet5329 you have to search nationwide if you want a 09 or 10. They only made about 200 total between those years so its rare for more than a couple to be on sale in the entire country. For comparison, they made over 2000 of the 05s.

[@trigganometry168]

I could vouch for manual Corolla it is fun. The clutch engagement is the same way as Doug’s Carrera GT. You have to let off the clutch almost completely before you give it throttle. It doesn’t like to be driven the traditional way it super car like.

[@joekavalauskas8767]

Definitely agree with the Corolla. We might just be starved for lightweight though. Adding lightness helps steering and handling so much!

[@matterialistictendencies]

At the beginning of the Mk7 Golf’s lifecycle in the US there was a Golf “Special Edition” that was a 2 door, manual 1.8t with like absolutely no features and it was my favorite out of all of the Mk7 Golf/GTI/R because it felt like driving modernized Mk1 Golf/Rabbit.

I have to second Alanis on the rental spec Corolla beater. My family had a base spec 11th gen for me and my brothers to use as a college commuter and while it was a poopy CVT, the thing weighed like 2400lbs and was surprisingly zippy and fun to drive. The interior was very plastic-y though.

[@threeer02]

Best car we ever owned (and still wish we had)?? 1997 Toyota Tercel! 5 speed manual, crank windows and not much else. But you could beat it to within an inch of its life and it just kept going. It was legit fun, primarily because you just knew it wouldn’t (and didn’t) break.

[@ethanyates28]

I have to agree with the base model, manual transmission corolla, sometimes having something with less power and less options is fun to throw around and use to its fullest extent. Plus it’s a Toyota it can take whatever you throw at it

[@matte8441]

The base model Mini hatch with the 3 cylinder engine. I was surprised on how refined it was for a 3cyl and it handled like a go kart. For driving around town I’d rather have that than a JCW.

I agree! For me, it's always been more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slowly.

Saw the kia ev6 gt do a rolling burnout in fla last week at a green light. I was blown away in the work truck 😂

[@sarmatiancougar7556]

Bringing friends in was a great idea. It's more interesting to listen to Doug discussing things rather than just describing car gimmicks.

Doug: The Corolla is trash Me: The Corolla will last longer than all the cars on this list

[@LouisSubearth]

What makes it reliable also makes it boring. Unless it's a GR Corolla.

This is like the perfect juxtaposition between rich east coast snooty car enthusiast and the car enthusiast who just likes throwing around shitboxes lmao

[@JuanRodriguez-km9hl]

Great show guys

[@RC-wt7fr]

Fantastic video, you two spar magnificently!

[@AceRph]

A lifted Smart Car convertible. I've got a bunch of cars to drive, but this one is my daily driver. So fun and weird as heck. Plus it was an easy and entertaining project.

[@loldhanu1]

This is hilarious 😂😂 keep it going guys!

[@shitfuckshitshit]

I had a 90something horsepower 1988 Subaru GL that was super fun even in the 2010s, so I get the love for the Venue. 0-60 in about 7 days. Bad opinions rule.

[@joeshmoe4303]

I want an az1, my only fear is someone in a lifted booster seat truck won't see me

[@bwofficial1776]

Get a dune buggy flag.

[@AustinLutzke]

I'm with @AlanisKing on this one. Econoboxes can be a blast

[@itsatoolthing6323]

It like watching Doug and Doug twin sister in spirit. Always fun time

[@ur.boy_kevinnn]

hi doug! cool video!

[@adrianpawelek379]

The two manual normie cars I agree with. My family has a manual 2020 Versa and it is, who would've ever guessed, incredibly fun to drive.

[@thekernel69]

Doug needs to give us his Porsche cookie recipe

[@jamesengland7461]

German chocolate

[@ruchiraeshan2K]

if you like the venue you will love the MG ZS it has a 6 speed dct

[@UserManson]

Small Alanis and giant Doug head are such a great team

[@georgeh6856]

If the Venue is fun, then the 1986 Yugo must be fantastic!

[@JonathanEzor]

Doug, didn't you start as a Porsche employee? You absolutely are a Porsche person. Own it!

[@pmullen5319]

Mad respect for Alanis and the rental spec manual Corolla. I bought a manual Scion Xa for my kid as a first car (hard to text and drive in a manual, and their friends won't be able to drive it ;) ), and that little thing is so much fun! Only 108 HP, but it also only weighs 2300 pounds and rowing through that sloppy manual gearbox on tiny little tires that chirp and slide through the turns is a riot.

[@sophisticated]

Last gen Celica GT (not GTS), Crossfire 6 speed manual, Ford Focus SVT, Nissan NX2000.

[@LHRSBN]

Great fun watching these two! Yes, a manual Corolla is more fun than you’d expect.

[@pacman3377]

Love these two together giving me brother sister vibes!!

[@MarvelloPerdana]

Amazing!

[@KartKing4ever]

I rented a Venue once. It had the DCT which was something. It actually didn't feel that slow. UNTIL I floored it and discovered it was basically at WOT at 50% throttle. Like, there was basically no difference. It gave me the illusion that the thing would be faster. Got me good.
