[@briannichols4807]

I know , that's why it's been a few years since I've gone to any of these auto shows , they start getting crowded and people start acting rude , to put it mildly . I can't believe they were giving out free drinks , because people start acting worse when they get a few too many drinks in them .

Great episode! I really found the ‘filming at auto shows’ quite refreshingly insightful. I can only imagine the difficulties. Thanks for the video.

[@johnmartin7158]

Loved the last 2 mins of your video and the philosophy of making do. Touched my heart. I had no vehicle half my life despite having 4 kids when I was very very young and I got by, despite me being poor.. Anyway I sold my 2022 rav4 2 weeks ago and pick up my 2024 RAV4 Adventure Hybrid next week. Wish me luck.This is a great channel for the common man. Cheers NZ.

Glad you enjoyed it!

How do you know that someone has a ton of quiet class? Watch Andrea read a screen captured question and she will glide over some horribly spelled word that breaks every rule that the English language inexplicably has, and pronounce it correctly without stumbling, or commenting with a take to the camera. I’ve even seen her totally rewrite a question’s sentence structure without missing a beat. That’s class, because class isn’t pinky-out tea drinking, it’s simply kindness. And it’s appreciated.

[@ushanmilinda]

Since someone asked about VW maintenance I wanted to share my experience: - I lease brand new cars. - I always get the services done at the dealer (including tire swaps). My wife owned a 2017 Jetta and drove it mostly on the highway but in Toronto traffic - maintenance $3152.44 (almost 7 years) - including tire swaps & storage. Put 112k on it with no issues - the brake pads were still at 4.5mm and 8mm (very surprised)! I owned a 2017 Maxima (mixed driving)- $2219.17 over 6 years - including tire swaps & storage.. I paid about $400 for a package that included unlimited oil changes amongst other things (great deal)! Front brakes were replaced at 79k. No other issues. I owned a 2014 Rogue and had to replace all brakes at 77k. No other issues. Remember that some cars need oil changes at 8k, whereas VWs have a 15k interval. Not saying one option is better than the other but I wanted to share my experience to help your decisions.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for sharing this information, very helpful.

We have had our GV70 for 2 years now and aside from the black chrome trims that are becoming cloudy, it is an amazing vehicle. Absolutely love it. And trim will be replaced by dealer on warranty so no issue.

Even though I have a Rav, I’ve got a soft spot for the CX5.

[@elyj.8612]

I own a 2023 GV70 and is being flawless. Really a great SUV with the best interior in this class. What I'm seeing is a higher depreciation than I was expecting

[@foxlake6750]

Further accelerating depreciation is newer models coming out with longer range at lower prices…..

[@dalehuhtala9285]

I havent seen much depreciation with the GV70 yet...prices have barely budged here...

For last question RE family go w Niro Hybrid! Amazing fuel economy, back seat legroom 3 inches more than Rav 4, large trunk fits strollers no problem. Great tech and bells and whistles on a budget.

[@vancity2349]

We have seen you brace when Andrea accelerates a car and dont know if that is really how you feel. However your right the quickest 0-60 race can't be really used in most cities, but boy is it fun in short bursts, and the rush of acceleration never gets boring...

[@pyew9149]

You guys put out great content. No nonsense, no gimmicks, honest opinions, and dad jokes! Keep up the great work. It's a shame at auto shows you have to combat rudeness with rudeness.

[@paulcatarino2209]

@19:00 was thinking the same thing. In the mid 2000's we went to Europe with a 6mth old baby (and all the accessories-stroller, car seat, diaper bag, playpen and luggage) and we rented a Ford Fiesta Hatchback (think Ford Focus but smaller) and for three weeks we were fine. When we got back home driving our family car, it felt like driving a school bus or RV for a few days.

[@ushaSinha-vc6kq]

Thanks for taking my question (last one), however we went with CX-5 and thinking the same that we will make it work bcoz both of us loved it (driving experience and interior) along with extended warranty(5 years). We are planning to keep it and it can be used as 2nd car in future

[@judih.8754]

That R3 looks neat with the bigger than expected wheel and tire setup.

[@CCdion23]

Just got back from NYC and spending a day at the NYIAS… and I absolutely agree with you, the Europeans were the most discourteous and rude. We found that at our hotel, on the streets, in the stores, and at famous landmarks… they were the worst! Also I was hoping to bump into you folks and see some other journalists whom I follow 💛

[@EchoAccord]

The one thing i hate about some of these manufactures, is when you go to their sites to build and price, they limit on how you can build your own car. Like for instance, they won't let you put certain paint colors and interior colors together on certain trims.

[@foxlake6750]

We just picked up our our RAV4 hybrid and the dealer mentioned own ship cost is lower because the oil change interval is 10,000 miles or 16,000 kms, which in my opinion is too long, even if it’s synthetic oil.

[@springertube]

Agree wholeheartedly.

[@danhall3450]

It does seem like a long time. But apparently not, otherwise Toyota would have such stellar reviews with many cars racking up well over 100K trouble free miles. How often have you heard of a Toyota having engine problems related to oil? Practically never! Therefore, their oil change interval must not be too long.

[@jowens4883]

The BMW is not numb, it is smooth. That’s why you can’t tell if you’re doing 40 or 80. I have a 2024 BMW X3 and it is a great car to drive. IF you’re doing 70 or 90 on the hyw. Yes you cannot tell the difference. That how a quality car should be. Whereas I had a 2020 Jeep Wrangler and once you were above 65, you could tell how fast you were going. Even though I am not really comparing apples to apples. Now im hungry, have to go.

[@sugarhog1938]

Lincoln ain’t luxury, x3 is a good car cuz it’s the same price as a rav 4 (even the m40 and the phev). The x3 to the cx5 its not a downgrade, x3 is already a cheap car lol. I drive an m5 comp matte black 2022 and a cayenne s hybrid cumulus blue 2024

German brands - softer and such - my wonderful knowledge on the subject (not) - but they were always never made (largely) up to the same specs as Europe - I have a hunch the softer suspensions is likely due to out deepening potholes and worn out (likely more worn out with heavier becoming the norm for vehicles) roads.

[@Tonga2]

The talk about 0-60 is wasted on the average buyer, I think it’s all about midrange Torque, Zack has said torque is power and getting it at a lower rpm is so important, similar to the 2024 Crosstrek that has brought its max torque figures down from 4400 rpm to 3700 rpm. That alone give the vehicle a boost in power, not hp. I’d even say it could help with fuel economy.

[@billurban1581]

Let’s review. 3700 rpm? My 2015 BMW 4 cyl had 260 lbs ft at 1250 rpm, that’s real low rpm torque. That’s BMW driveability. If the Crosstrek has the same torque at 3700 as it did at 4400 it has less power at 3700, but “driveability” may be better. Horsepower is a measurement of work, torque is a measurement of force. I can exert 200 pounds feet of torque with a “torque” wrench but if it doesn't turn, no work has been done. Slide a 4’ pipe over that torque wrench and exert 1,000 lbs ft, but if nothing moves, no work has been done.

[@billurban1581]

I checked, 178 lb ft @ 3700. That’s 125 hp @ 3700. If it had 178 lb ft @ 4400, that would be 149 hp @ 4400. Better torque a lower RPM is pretty much meaningless for performance with a CVT, but if the final drive ratio were taller, the lower engine speed on average would be better for fuel economy.

I agree about the horsepower and 0 to 60 not being as important as some people bring up when commenting on car vids. IMO once you’re in the mid 200s and above on horsepower and torque and 0 to 60 in the 6sec or less anything more is not needed for most people’s daily commute.
