Paddles or gearstick? 😀

[@J.I.R.A]

Gearstick team forever!! Bring the stick back to life, especially in exotic supercars.

[@therealkinghimself]

Gearstick but paddles makes great fun and chill everyday. But gearstick for fun for sure

[@B4R0N.]

Paddles.

[@Bassemann87]

Paddles

[@PrinsTobii]

Gearstick with a extra foot lever thank you ❤

[@garethedwards2883]

Alex should be on the channel a lot more as he is really funny

[@prospertk7269]

That explains why he looks exactly like Bill Bur on the thumbnail

[@jhannington1660]

@autoalexcars on KZbin!

[@garethedwards2883]

@@jhannington1660 Cheers 😀

[@LND8110]

I sense a car show coming with these three..great chemistry and knowledge. Thank me later 😂

[@Furry_Viking]

I would DEFINITELY watch that!

[@ianelsley71]

It'd be better than Top Gear just now.

[@SocksWithSandals]

I believe it is possible to assemble a dream team Top Gear Trio out of current motoring journalists / KZbinrs.

[@rhyswilliams4893]

The wonders of Alex being freelance now.

[@rhyswilliams4893]

The look on her face when he said he would drive the great wall

[@chubbsmasterson]

In Rorys defence, a vicious Dual Clutch transmission with a V8/V10 is a wicked thing indeed

[@navyanikii]

oh yeah. the older automatics in supercars like the original aventadors and such feel just mental.

[@TD1237]

Haven't laughed this much in a while 😂

[@ikelaiho]

This was so much fun. Got me smiling and laughing at 5am in the morning.

[@jamiljafri4841]

This was a lot of fun to watch 😂

[@mys0076]

I live in the States but gearstick ALL DAY❤️🤘Thanks a bunch for another episode, love it.

[@ElikeIke]

All perfect answers! Though I love the stick shift, I’m more of a Lamborghini Urus. Longest none-stop driving for me is 7hrs in Nigeria from the West (Lagos) to the the East(Enugu). Top speed 180kph in a 2013 Toyota Camry

[@andrewbagaayi584]

Nice if only for being different. Thanks Rory and team

[@danmayberry1185]

That Rothman's Porsche at the Mt. Fuji viewpoint ... ever think you picked the wrong job?

[@delta_gt8735]

Did not expect this video to be this entertaining!

[@capitanothegreat3994]

Continue the Series Please , i love watching the 3 of you

[@sparkskie]

More of this please - great chemistry

[@B4R0N.]

I'd love to see more of these three together!

[@nbnguitar]

Skeleton coast could be the place you’re thinking of.

[@keithronson2624]

Like so many of the comments, more of this! You three, together are simply fantastic! Each one of you brings something to the party. Perfection! In 3! Funny as...Thank You Rory, Alex and Alex!

[@tj_enju]

The disappointment that comes with switching from a budget manual to a budget automatic car... that's what makes me vote manual even when I've never tried a paddle shifter

[@ca9968]

I`ve been a petrol head for many many years now and always looked down on anything with an auto box, but have to say that driving a Golf GTi Mk5 with a DSG gearbox for the first time in 2009 completely changed my outlook...it`s so much better for everyday use than a manual... And let`s face it, how many of us ever actually get to unleash our car at a track where a manual is always the better experience...?

[@nfsdanz]

I would normally say Manual but completely with Rory on the single clutch robotised manual gearbox in the SVJ.

[@lewispullan6725]

ye but imagine if it was actually a gated manual like the old lambos. Your shifts could be as aggressive or smooth as you like

[@tiffthunderchocolate]

How fast did you drive it unofficially? XD

[@sutikno917]

ok friends keep the spirit

[@CKGoldiing]

This pleased me.

[@Rasscasse]

I enjoyed this 😄

[@jonathantaylor1998]

That was surprisingly entertaining to watch...!! 🤣 (Little) Alex is just unfiltered, isn't he...???

[@djones1304]

Yes. Fiesta.

[@toobasaurus23]

10 years ago I would have said stick. But, I'm 42 now. Paddles all day.

[@bare365]

Great video…very entertaining!🤩

[@dka774]

Keep them going with these three

[@sidthiru1509]

Ok here’s my take: Manual for the cheaper fun cars Auto all day for the performance cars. It’s why I’d never buy the gt3 manual because I care about performance and it’s also why a Miata will always be manual for me

[@NafaratMiyaMiya]

Good chemistry ... silly but fun

[@ryan49805]

Georgia is just above Florida Rory… 😆 I’ll let it slide though as a I wouldn’t quite pass a European geography quiz 😅.

[@Incognito-gs7qx]

The sea and desert place is Namibia 😅

[@MOSSFEEN]

Paddles = BellEnd

[@quentinfreeman7516]

Hearing how far people have driven outside of the US is pretty funny actually. 😂 The furthest trip for me was about 3000 miles

[@yngvildrthevoracious]

I have recently gotten my license and first car (Renault Twingo phase 2 from 2001 in white, manual transmission of course) and I named it "froggy". I also say it in French out loud.

[@ndeulyatelesorry7761]

Rory's dream trip is in Namibia between the towns of Swakopmund and Walvis bay!

[@hassan_codes]

The place Rory was trying to remember is Namibia, it's drop dead gorgeous 😍

[@esrakavetu2286]

Rory that place in Africa you referring to is Namibia, at sandwich harbor where the desert meets the ocean to be specific.

[@MrFlyingguy]

rory and alex handbags at dawn ... brilliant

[@andrewandlm]

More of these three...

[@dtvfan24]

Automatic for me. Driven in US and Canada and found way easier then back forth with stick

[@xenotiic8356]

I love Rory but those two should be on the channel more! Very entertaining as well!

[@sackyshivute4768]

"That place in Africa" is Namibia. Come on over :)

[@PatchedBandit]

Alex is just 100% funny

[@Chasing-Red]

Anything Singer will do for me as a dream car…..

[@chuck2547]

More of this please ❤️

[@JO_Artificial]

That place Lory was talking about is called Namibia

[@sargiowaiganjo9871]

My dream car is RAM TRX 2500..Day or night. Sleep or awake. Young or old

[@louiswatson6227]

When are you going to review The 2023 Cadillac Escalade V ... ???

[@DarrylRadcliffe]

ZF 8-Speed automatic. All day.

[@wg8290]

Manual every day! Even cheap, slow cars are fun with a manual.

[@projectpascall8858]

Mustang v8 baby😂😂😂

[@jahalamajahancomanzi3484]

Namibia Rory

[@74Ljay]

this was cool, more videos like this please

[@youme1414]

Wow! The killer collaboration is out! Shout out to these guys!

[@bingbong4848]

She's definitely an NSX-R

[@kandaliwillem]

That place where Sea meet Desert it's a Country called Namibia 🇳🇦.

[@Haenki]

I've never heard of Alexandra Legume, where can I see more?

[@shoveI]

Sunrise or sunset? It's not a drive worth taking if you don't have both in the same drive.

[@TeamNoAffiliation]

Thinking of what car I'd be... 2006 Dodge Caravan. Not the best looking thing. Not fast. Has a few problems. But reliable enough to get you where you need to be. Can carry way too many people. And just average enough to blend in, but can stand out from time to time.

[@tanner1ie]

Manual petrol saloons and sports cars forever, that is all!! 😯😂😀🤘

[@alexm6340]

5:32 Have they achieved this so called top speed yet or is the true tested top speed still "only" around 270?

[@yoker3032]

Rory, still waiting for for your rolls Royce cullinan review

[@Girish-Kandukuri]

looks like viewership has been increased after bringing 'alex legouix' into the show.

[@woncho1]

More please…

[@mrgitbag6115]

could this be the next new trio after the pensioners :D just joking :D

[@melvinbrown2520]

For me a Manual Transmission ,with at least 390 hp provides a More complete driving experience

[@richieduck67]

Only one right answer

[@curry_man69]

cvt sequential gear stick

[@skelly8185]

rory keeping it real👍

[@A_S12042]

You guys are actually hilarious hahahaha

[@J.I.R.A]

What?!? I was sure all three would say they prefer stick… I didn’t know Rory was a heretic 😢 today a piece of my heart has gone irreversibly dark… smh.

[@AutoTraderTV]

Drive an Aventador SVJ in Corsa mode and you'll change your mind.

[@J.I.R.A]

@@AutoTraderTV I’m sure it’s one of the most amazing cars to drive and feel that aggressive shift kick that’s ever been produced, however picture it with a manual. Oh my god I’d give up my house for a manual SVJ.

[@jaysparrow6631]

@@J.I.R.A I swapped 2 of my very young daughters for a SVJ Aventador! Best decision I’ve ever made as I prefer the sound of the exhaust over the sound of their lil voices whilst their nagging and fighting. Do I miss that? What do you think?

[@obsidian....]

5:55 🤣🤣🤣

[@Skiridr22]

Sorry boys I’m with her on this one the samurai is dear to me in memories 😊

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

What's that place in Africa, it's got Sea and desert.... a beach?

[@polomints2586]

This sounds really bad but Alex has the most personality out of the three 😅

[@Furrfino]

Anybody that says they prefer manual over DCT w/ paddles only say that for attention! I'm telling you

[@Joker-yw9hl]

The peacocking due to a woman's presence is strong in this one

[@SocksWithSandals]

Is there an attempt by AutoTrader to create a true rival to Top Gear by mixing and matching motoring journalists? 🤔💭

[@shaunm9928]

Rory, Alexandra & Alex - please please ask AutoTrader to sponsor the three of you for a TV show - it would be a sure fire success and think of the PR for AutoTrader. You are magic together, very natural, great fun and Jo Public loves that!

[@Ziggyziggy1]

Alexis's Mazda is sick.

[@lesklower7281]

I prefer a manual and my Toyota Hilux ute name is "it isn't " because Hilux stands for High Luxury

[@toobasaurus23]

Kersten. I love you, but Sahara means desert. To say 'Sahara Desert' is saying 'Desert Desert'. Like Lake Tahoe... meaning 'Lake Lake.'

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

CVT!!!!

[@TML34]

Rory, driving an SVJ is liking wrestling a bull with a half-pint of wasabi up its backside. There are no winners in this scenario.

[@johannes1439]

its Namibia that has sea and desert

[@sensualeye]

I see Rory and think, “poseur.”

[@BillyBoy444]

I just don't feel in full control driving an auto. A manual with a clutch pedal gives you that extra feeling of control that you just don't get with an auto. Otherwise you might as well be on a PlayStation Coz you're not actually driving IMO.

[@jimosborn3411]

Christ, this camera angle makes them look normal size.

[@James_08_07]

But they didn't ask the Manual or Auto question... 😭😭😭😭

[@joshb6382]

2:01 I feel Rory on this one cuz my 2017 mustang has a single clutch 6 speed auto with the paddles and the kick you get between each shift is insane, feels like a horse kicks your back everytime. Definitely not as good as the Lambo single speed but you get the point

[@123antknee]

Manual... Even in Traffic!!!! You gotta Pay to Play!!!

[@markbennett9787]

Good presentation but someone give Alex a rubber band for her hair please.

[@KevinYiaile]

Namib desert

[@alihaider177]

Don't know why people are obsessed with Manual transmission, I wouldn't be obsess with Manual driving a Manual ShitBox would only prefer a better butter smooth Manual transmission !!

[@josephleslie6634]

I hate automatic transmissions! My left foot has nothing to do! I need a clutch pedal and a stickshift! Automatic transmissions are boring!

[@MasterDayTrader]

Ikr.. stay on that dude's neck about that robotized manual. I damn near unsubscribed.

[@davidbacon1899]

Just Rory please. No new presenters required. Than ks

[@khairulislam1501]

Rory just seems like a pick me guy and has to one up whatever everyone else has got or done.
