Our BEST CARS of 2023 - Most fun, most reliable, best NEW car and more! | ReDriven

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

KZbin became a much better place when ReDriven hit the scene. What a fabulous resource. Thanks guys, you’re both awesome.

[@ReDriven]

A few of you have been asking about a follow up worst cars video. It’ll drop next Sunday. Stay tuned!

[@customregina9383]

Really wish to see your reviews of the Honda shuttle people mover soon. That car looks like a spaceship in my opinion 😅

[@guntherschrenk8980]

As a South African, still living in SA, your Chanel is really informative and helpful. Awesome work guys, thank you

[@bayandamsweli2005]

Bro! Nothing compares to these guys. 90% of the Aussie car scene is the same as us in SA so it’s so relevant. Love this channel and the format. Merry Christmas

[@riaanmocke3364]

Thanks for always making great videos Watching from South Africa and love your awesome show👍👍

[@whatthe6532]

Big fan of South Africans who live in South Africa myself.

[@clintnaik]

At this point google thinks I live in Australia. You guys put in incredible effort and hold your ethics to a standard rarely seen I auto journalism. The investigation into actually car experience rather than brochure reading is extremely underrated. Thank you guys! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@kevinnev]

Fellow SA'n here.

[@semac1968]

I am an American that, after finding your channel, am totally hooked on your reviews. The thorough job you do in supplying information in layman’s terms about the cars you review is awesome. The choice of fun cars you review that are not available in the American market to buy because of over-the-top governmental regulations makes me and my friends so jealous. Lol! As someone who used to work in the parts and service departments of several Toyota dealerships for over 25 years, I was always intrigued by the Japanese Crown and Vellfire models, and wondering why we didn’t have them in the states. I’m starting to see more and more JDM import mini trucks on car carriers coming from the port here in Baltimore, Maryland, so there is some hope. I love what you’re doing and keep up the great work. A loyal subscriber for life.😎👍🏾

[@paulb1951]

It’s not exclusive to the US to have none available models. Us Aussies have so many car brands that do not produce for our market. The US is rightly not allowing the Chinese to control the market and dominate the world market, you guys should be happy about that. We gave away our manufacturing ability many many years ago.

[@RotaryNate]

Thanks for a year full of informative reviews and entertainment. The way Redriven is headed, I can only imagine 2024 is going to be even better if it is even possible. Thanks Adam, Jim and all the hard workers behind the lens!

[@brad2tube]

Thank you, redriven. Don’t ever change You’ve got the thing nailed 👌

[@essendon72]

I think my wife's 2022 Focus ST flies well under the radar. I haven't seen many around and most people just think it's a regular Focus. I test drove the i30N, Golf Gti, RS Trophy and Peugeot 308 and the ST was the best driving experience IMO. This thing can do crazy things up a windy mountain road, the chassis is just amazing. And even though it's front wheel drive it still has amazing amounts of grip. Fantastic car!

[@mhassouneh]

This channel has quickly become one of my favorites on KZbin. Thanks to all of the crew for their hard work and great videos

[@blacktoothstavros2606]

I come from a family of Toyota tragics. My first car was a '66 Crown Station Wagon, followed by multiple others. After having Euros and a few other marques, I think the Crown is calling me back. Excellent review. Thank you guys. I'm keeping my Valiant, but returning to my youth.

[@ianbrown4242]

One of - if not THE best car channels on KZbin. Thank you so much for a great year - and for promoting Newcastle as a city that's not just full of bogans!

[@shawnhindmarsh1092]

Thanks for the content guys, found you this year when looking for a first car for my son. Can’t believe what I have learnt from the backlog and how keen I am to learn about cars I never knew existed. Have a safe one

[@Kevinpark46]

I drove the gr corolla and ultimately bought the new 2023 civic type r. Arguably just as fun, better performance, better gear change and way way better interior. Also a YAY I currently own a mx5 nd2 as a weekender as well. Would definitely agree on being the most fun car on public roads.

[@van_der_lindeDA]

No Brainer....Type R is a masterpiece.

[@MrBlackiichan]

You live an amazing life man… what a garage!

[@Kevinpark46]

@@MrBlackiichan yeah, I'm fortunate enough to be in the position to have both. They are sweet as 😂

[@murrieteacher]

Daily would have to be a Lexus. The Crown is next on the list. The MX5 is a great car and I get it, but I love my MGTF 160 with the race prep I have done. Thanks guys, it has been a great year of great videos, take care, looking forward to what you both bring next year.

[@adanpatience3361]

This channel has helped me purchase my first car. It's overwhelming weighing up all the options but this channel has helped me narrow down my search, and actually identified what my car preferences are 😊

[@elgordo9031]

My bet is you got a Jimny.

[@AusKipper1]

I only buy and drive dual cab utes, IMO that list goes like this: Reliability and Value: Isuzu D-Max Power and looks: Ford Ranger Australia wide parts availability, decent reliability but overpriced: Toyota Hilux Bitumen road manners and also lots of power: Volkwagen Amarok You want a ute and you were dropped on your head many, many times as a child from a great height, onto concrete, but survived: Nissan Navara or anything from China You want to force people you drive past to cover their eyes to prevent permanent blindness: Mahindra

[@truetierra]

Merry Christmas champions. Fair dinkum the most down to earth, genuine, no bullshit car review channel on the internet. If it wasn't for you guys and one of your reviews I wouldn't have fallen in love with the cheap runabout I bought this year --- Suzuki Swift Sport 2007. Keep up the fantastic work and 2024 ya'll hit a million subs without breaking a sweat! Cars I'd love to see -- Alfa 156 or 159, maybe a GTA with that gorgeous 6 cylinder. Have a great one gents 🥳🍾🎄🥂 Car of the year for me --- the MX5 as well. If I could afford a late model I would grab one for sure.

[@BrightsonDavid]

Thanks guys. Would love it if you could review 10 year old Lexus LS's and GS's. Thanks again!

[@jaypea2930]

Keep growing guys!! Always a pleasure to watch your reviews from here in the UK.

[@dplajh4243]

Thanks guys! We really believe in what you're doing, so keep at it. We recently bought a 10th generation Toyota Crown, and its the best thing we've ever done.

[@mjngp]

As a South African you guys rock, I'm happy to have stumbled upon your channel Probably one if the reason i love the channel is most cars you feature are also available in South Africa,so it becomes relatable

[@Belfran]

As an X5M owner, I see your point and respect it. I appreciate the value of your content and enjoy the unbiased opinions, if that's even possible! Keep them coming!

[@sweetnips1]

I bought a 2013 Swift Sport on the back of your review and am really happy with it. Excellent small run around without the blown out price tag. Love this channel and well done gentlemen

[@colseverns9848]

Thanks and great year of review guys ! Fun Factual and 100% Aussie !! Hope 2024 is a ripper for you

[@ReDriven]

Thanks so much!

[@jonnyvt6602]

Been great to find your channel , have a great 2024

[@estequey]

My number one car of the year would have to be the Nismo Note. I just think that that is where the future of hybrid tech should be going. Its such a great idea and yet nobody has been doing them really. Thanks for the vids this year guys. Used your recommendations and serviced my Jimny at the 10k mark and done by Jim no less, rather than the 15k like Suzuki recommend. Definitely would recommend Jim as a mechanic, such good customer service and so knowledgeable

[@markusparkinson8514]

I’ve been throughly joying ReDriven for a while now, honestly such a brilliant concept and you’ve done a banger job in delivering useful and fun content for all those in the market for great (or possibly shite) 2nd hand cars of the past couple of decades, there’s some properly useful advice, insight and opinions to be had. Good stuff guys and please keep it up! The final commentary on the personal car of the year was particularly close to how I’m feeling at the moment, as an E92 M3 6 spd owner I’ve been taken aback by just how fun and practical an NC 2 MX-5 is on good twisty Aussie roads for the past few weeks. Lots of fun to be had in an MX-5 in the right environment, horses for courses.

[@someyoutuber99]

People carriers, like the Velfire are extremely popular in south East Asian countries like Singapore or Malaysia. They always travel with their grand parents and multiple kids and these things are so fucking good. I don’t own one in AUS but if my parents came with me everywhere I’d buy one too

[@JanUys-v6w]

Thanks guys for the great content. The GR Yaris and MX5 look like cars that are more than just fun - they have soul. As a daily driver and after a long day at the office, the NX is fantastic.

[@jasonpushy]

thanks for a great year, one of my favourite channels love my 105. 24years old. 400,000km. still my daily. just a great car, as long as you don’t want to get somewhere quick.

[@Mexxx65]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Guys!! Keep up the good work!! Your humourous and well researched car videos are just getting better and better!!!!

[@reece-700]

I absolutely LOVE the 2023 Swift Sport. Bang for buck and so much FUN! I'd like to see a review of the 2023 Swift Sport please, as you've only reviewed the previous model and the 2024 model is slower, heavier and ugly.

[@BinkBricks]

The GR Corolla is so nice, went and looked at one at the Toyota dealer and I didn’t initially like it as much as the GR Yaris but WOW. I was truly blown away by the GR Corolla.

[@chao5s]

OG F87 M2 owner wanting to trade in for a ND MX-5 (135kW with LSD) really enjoyed the show, thank you guys.

[@lioran5574]

I've only recently found your channel, and I gotta say, good find! Thank you and a happy new year from Israel!

[@P_FamilyJAR]

Based on your reviews, the car I’d go for this year would be the Crown GRS204

[@waynebuckley6633]

I agree totally

[@leskouts2]

That Volvo is the one.... Until Australian conditions kill it. Love the reviews... And car nuts.... Happy Christmas

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thanks team. Have a great new year. With age comes wisdom and I now find it challenging if not impossible chosing the best car...because no one car does all things good. At the minimum the best car would be 3 cars with different attributes for specific applications. Cheers

[@joshuadavey8621]

I bought the 2023 i30 n-line premium ……… manual so far blown away it goes has tech, only disappointing point was the Apple car play that still needs to be plugged in 🙄 so I bought the Bluetooth for it other wise it does everything I need it to.

[@adrianw3985]

I have a 100 series with 250,000 miles (402,000 km), it's great. Took it to Moab Utah recently to test it out on a few easy trails, was great. 2,000 miles over a few days period on holiday, did all the things in quite comfort.

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Merry Christmas guys. Looking forward to another awesome year with your videos. And here’s my beer. 🍺 Cheers!

[@jasonwong1579]

Thanks very much gents for a great channel. So informative and has helped immensely when buying a used Lexus IS and Hyundai Santa Fe. Most of all just the joy of cars, no bullshit or wankery.

[@grantdyson3564]

Can’t believe you don’t have more viewers! Great information and so entertaining. You guys nail it!

[@randomness4336]

Thank you ReDriven! Keep making videos of used cars! I find you guys a reliable source for my next purchase. Used to buy new Toyotas, now thinking of an upgrade to a used Lexus or BMW

[@kariiage]

The only car review channel I watch from start to finish without skipping. I really wish you guys will review a Citroen C4 or something with that fancy suspension. Citroen BX was my childhood car - pretty funky, unreliable, quirky and memorable 😊

[@timjones7888]

Thanks for everything guys, happy Christmas!

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Thanks for the year guys, looking forward to next year. As Jim happens to be my mechanic I rely on his advice a lot. Cheers Steve

[@jonles8712]

Merry Christmas!! Thanks all for your hard work

[@SundayRacers]

My little 1.2L (non-Sport) Swift has no boot and has an interior that seems to be made out of the same plastic that milk cartons are made out of, but it's the most fun little car I've ever owned. You don't even need the Sport - the 'lesser' models are almost as much fun, super reliable and cheap as hell to run

[@janinnz1261]

Great reviews this year guys ! The car you reviewed I'll hopefully get next year will be the Suzuki Vitara - because it gives me the ground clearance, AWD and power (turbo) at a decent price I need to get up into the unsealed roads in the mountains here in NZ.

[@Atothen1234]

An Alfa Romeo Giulia video would be sweet. Owners in forums seem to like them minus the first two model years. Very fun to drive and great value in the used market.

[@georgekovacevic1688]

Great information and very informative reviews. Unlike most new car reviews which are little better than advertorials . Would love to see your review of the Skoda Yeti 4x4.

[@simongeeves]

Suzuki Alto Works, I live in Japan and own this model, Definitely one of my most favourite cars I've owned and I can't see myself selling it. They have a huge cult following here and with a few mods they are an awesome car to drive, that little 660cc charged motor is a gem with a manual shift behind it.

[@metricstormtrooper]

When i heard a youtube car reviewer say "They're all the car you need" i instantly knew that id found somewhere i belong, (ive had 4 kei cars) have a great new year Re Driven , i hope to see more great reviews in 2024.

[@ReDriven]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy it

[@egotensitysweg3725]

U guys are awesome. Just straightforward opinions backed up with facts. Much love from 🇵🇭

[@lukethibodaux790]

Having driven multiple generations of the MX-5 I have to say that car is the king of fun even if it is technically much slower than the Z06's, GT-Rs, and Porches that I have driven. Good steering feel, good break feel, top down, winding the hell out of it's engine, all of that makes you feel more connected to the car which is wild fun on any winding back road.

[@DMan-it5tq]

Thanks for another year of great videos and entertainment boys. Keep up the great work ❤

[@Nathan-b8u]

Awesome video to finish off the year. Redriven is my go to channel for car reviews - loving all the JDM car reviews you have been putting up (I’m looking at buying a crown). Happy NY 👍

[@caderaojohncyrus1378]

Good stuff mate! Been here since you guys still had triple digits subs. I knew you were gonna make it big someday with the awesome quality of your reviews :3

[@TheGillederais]

The all to be all car to be daily driven is cx5 turbo. It has practicality, reliability, handling, performance for the street, premium quality interior, NVH is on par with lexus NX, yes its more thirsty than NX but it cost less to buy.

[@christustian8055]

Well done to you both. Great information on all types of cars. Looking forward to your channel this year🎉

[@corolla2rollerfk681]

Hello from Dubai! Came across your channel today and really enjoying the videos!

[@andrewd7586]

Adam & Jim, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your reviews over the year! One of my top KZbin channels! Car wise it is my number 1!👏🏼👍🏼 Bring on 2024 you bloody legends!🤩🤣

[@nfi2799]

Enjoyed all the content throughout the year fellas, thanks!

[@tstew-ww2hu]

Cheers for the awesome year of information guys! Keep up the amazing work

[@ddsgardening7437]

Enjoy some time off your shows are bloody fantastic, Cheers guys 🙏

[@wesleyrichards8027]

You can buy crowns much cheaper in NZ. 2012 Hybrid with 100,000km for about $14,000 NZD. A huge percentage of cars on the road here are imports which makes them cheap and there are heaps of them on the road.

[@thedon7530]

Thanks for your useful and entertaining insights throughout 2023 gentlemen. All the best for 2024.

[@BigCarKilla]

As an automotive detailer, I’ve never seen a more worse put-together car than that same generation RR Sport. They’re great to look at, the ZF gearbox is the highlight that ties together the driving experience. As for the Crown - good condition ones are in abundance between $15-$20k. Cheap Lexus GS350/H As for parts, panels are getting easier with everyone importing them now the driveline is Lexus IS/GS, so no problems whatsoever to find any part you need.

[@samartz]

I honetly felt like I watched the 2022 version not that long ago. Thanks for the vids guys!! Merry Xmas and Cant wait for more vids in 2024!

[@jnry3]

I gotta agree with the Toyota Vellfire. I rented one in Kyoto, and it's smooth and luxurious to drive. My 7 passengers fell asleep while I drove around!

[@stevegrice7350]

Thank you Adam, Jim and the crew at ReDriven. Great channel and content. Always look forward to your videos. Best wishes for 2024 ! Cheers Steve G

[@chrisg2779]

If you ever make a trip to the states, I’ve got a lineup of cars you can review. G87 M2, 996 Turbo, LX 600, Ferrari California, Lexus TX, Model Y, Subaru Forester, and the piece de resistance 2007 Honda Civic LX….

[@codincoman9019]

I like your channel. I am into cerebral choices (buying only technically perfect cars, with double digits discounts vs. market price), thus I drive a Mazda MX-5 ND2 RF, a Suzuki Jimny LCV and a Lexus UX 250h. Zero (0) issues in almost 5 years, not even recalls! Happily, I also like a lot their design, not only their best reliability and their low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). You reminded me so much I also liked the NX, I might go look for a second-hand hybrid one 😉

[@ianrichardson5421]

Love you guys Honest and no B/S reviews and opinions Love the SSS in the background

[@hanskinsella5078]

As someone who owns a Mazda MX5 and a Toyota Crown. I approve 😊

[@tanker653]

Thanks for the great year of fantastic content! My eyes are still peeled for a good NX in Melbourne hopefully that time will come before new years!

[@theabombination1]

Great work, really appreciate your work and content fellas!

[@Davidamadio]

Thank you both, l love the honest reporting. Looking forward to next year’s show.

[@LordGebus]

bought the blade off shannon, feels funky seeing the car in another video😊

[@richardbrimble1319]

Merry Christmas Guys. Love your channel. Not sure about the imports but get it as there are only so many AUSDM cars you can review.

[@EzzaLeo]

Another great year of this superb channel. Wishing you and the team a very Merry Christmas and an even better year ahead.

[@cstridbeck]

you guys realy helped me to buy a "new" used car even if I live in sweden. It all came down to a volvo s80 2009 2,5 liter. It is realy stabil and like sitting in your livingroom and drive.😁

[@blaisewilliams5101]

Greetings. How do you all do. Thank you very much for your auto insights. Highly appreciated. Thank you very much once again. I am viewing from Nairobi Kenya currently.

Great work guys, have a great Christmas and a ripper 2024 !!!

What would I pick? The Alto Works that I have on route from Japan as I type this! Your review confirmed my need to get one. Thanks Guys!

Merry Christmas AK and Jim, great channel looking forward to new nugget reviews in 2024!

[@alexhampton2802]

One of my favourite shows on any media format, such a great idea. Adams a great reviewer and Jim knows his s**t. Even though its mainly aimed to Aussies, it just shows that good car content will gwt the world watching. Keep up the great work all, from (a not so) sunny England.

[@ReDriven]

Huge praise, mate. Thank you so much!

[@phoenixrising7047]

You have helped me decide on purchasing an R36 Wagon in Biscay Blue in the new year - Thanks.

[@dyahayukartika7209]

I didnt know that vellfire/alphard exist in Australia! It’s very popular in many other countries, including Indonesia where I come from. It also symbolises social status because it’s so expensive there! Thanks heaps redriven team for all your content, it’s really useful for helping me buying a secondhand car this year, esp your ultimate guide video. Merry christmas and happy new year!

[@dyahayukartika7209]

Oh and i wish you could have a full review on hyundai getz. Is it still worth to buy in 2024? Mine is the SX 2011 1.6 L 3door model. Would love to hear your thoughts about the car. Thanks!

[@JP-hb4mv]

love your channel guys, such a unique perspective, keep up the great work!

[@lukeclifton4392]

Aurion!… the “Crown” Aussies didn’t get, but bulletproof nonetheless.

What about the Toyota Crown?? Bloody brilliant car. Great work guys - much respect!!
