Thank you for being sensible about HP and TQ numbers. I've been saying for years that people are getting caught up in marketing nonsense, especially in the newer EV segment. We don't need 500 HP EVs that cost $120k. We need 250 HP EVs that can go 600 kms on a charge that cost $50k.

Eletric motors cant sustain max output without overheating the battery. Thus the transient hp is low hanging fruit compared to costly Li-ion batteries

[@jeffer1101]

@@Mark-rt6fy mainly why I've said EVs are little more than play toys for the rich until battery technology improves to eliminate the many downfalls they currently suffer from. Current technology works fine for hybrids, but not ideal for full on EVs. Yet. I still think we're likely a decade away from actual real alternatives to ICE vehicles.

@@jeffer1101 I agree!

@@jeffer1101. Interestingly enough non “rich” people use EVs daily, some for years

[@jeffer1101]

@@robertt9342 sure, but where's the $25,000 Corolla EV equivalent? There isn't one. Until you can replace a Corolla with an equally reliable EV with similar cost of ownership, they'll never be a true replacement for an ICE car. That's why hybrids are where it's at for now. They are marginally more expensive than their gas only counterparts but still give you the benefits of reduced fuel consumption without the negatives of EVs (cost, range anxiety, charging infrastructure, etc).

Torque is king , HP will get you top speed but torque launches you and pulls you up the hill. Good to see emotions about the JD power scores being influenced , Zack thanks for correcting peoples perspective. Great video again . ✌

Rattle - well said - I had it in my car and luckily it was the wheel key thing in the glove box - but I was just as Zack said - wondering how I was not going to lose my mind if it continued on.

I like watching GTI reviews. I just bought a '24 380 Autobahn too

[@ColJonSquall1]

The Rattle section reminds me of Top Gear, when the trio raced to Verbier in Switzerland, and Clarkson had a Ferrari with a bad wiper arm assembly, and it just made a buzzing noise that permeated the entire cabin and could be heard over the phone, lol. I can relate with my old, 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander, where it wasn't a rattle, but it was the lack of sound deadening in the cabin, so all exterior noise just came in, it was awful. I'm so thankful to be driving my newer (though still old), 2012 Nissan Armada, its like a bank vault when I close the door. Only thing I hear is the small roar of the 5.6l under the hood.

Just bought a Miata Grand Touring soft top, test drove a couple of Club (U.S.) models and found the Recaro seats to be too low and uncomfortable. It felt like the suspension was stiffer too. Have you noticed this as well? ✌️

[@andreaspencer9813]

We didn't drive the GT model at the press event in California, we had the Club with the Brembo package which is the same as our long term tester GS-P with the sport package. But a viewer just reached out to me on Instagram and he said, he drove a Miata without the sport package, the suspension is definitely softer. I wish we were able to drive a variety of trims to compare.

Love the comments on JD Power and Consumer reports reliability ratings

[@romeroemmanuel]

What would you buy between a Volvo XC 90 vs a Lexus TX 500h f sport?

[@OhNoMrBill-yg3dy]

"Rattles" fall under the category of Noise, Vibration & Harshness which Manufacturers address VERY seriously in the design & build process. As other Commentors have observed, sometimes a rattle is the result of the vehicle owner placing loose objects in glove compartments, overhead bins, door pockets, etc.. Consumer Reports includes a "Noise" rating on every vehicle it tests. This information is contained in the "Comfort & Convenience" section. For reference, the 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid scores a Noise rating of 4/5... and the 2024 Land Rover Defender also scores 4/5, however the Overall Score is 85/100 for the Toyota and 47/100 for the Land Rover.

[@nicholassmith7048]

FYI JLR is replacing the inline 6 in the Defender with a puny 3 cylinder so my advise is get the inline 6 while you can.

[@josephpanozzo4815]

I recently sat in a Toyota Corolla Cross in their showroom, and it was full of squeaks, creeks, and rattles in the seats.

[@stuntmonkey00]

13:29 Gonna be that guy lol... More torque is more horsepower because horsepower is torque multiplied by RPM. People like torque-y engines because they are producing more horsepower, because torque is force applied in a twisting motion, work is force applied over a distance and power is the amount of work in a given time. It's just that people like low and across the RPM range power ("drivable") vs high RPM power ("peaky"). In the old days before the turbo hybrid engines, V-10 Formula One cars only had about 250 ft/lbs of torque, but they were producing over 900bhp because they rev'd to 20,000 rpm.

[@Ela-cw7fi]

A Head of Lettuce Outlasted UK Prime Minister Liz Truss After only a mere 44 days days in office, Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister. This makes her the shortest serving PM in the United Kingdom's history. The UK tabloid was Inspired by a quip from The Economist, which noted that the period between the 10 days of mourning after Queen Elizabeth II died and the beginning of her political downfall lasted about seven days or "roughly the shelf-life of a lettuce." Less than a week after they decided to put that idea to the test, the lettuce has emerged victorious. Adorned with its own blonde wig, eyes, Mr. Potato Head arms and a haunting grin, the lettuce became an internet celebrity that almost instantly garnered a significant following and its own Cameo account. Celebrating its win over Truss with flashing disco lights and a remix of Kool & the Gang's "Celebration," the lettuce seemed to perfectly encapsulate the absurdity that British politics had devolved into. Many have latched onto the meme as a poignant allegory for Truss' brief tenure.

[@dystopia-usa]

My 2020 Japan-built Toyota developed too many annoying creaks & rattles in the cabin to count (among other mechanical/electrical problems I experienced). my 2022 Mexico-built Mazda that I bought to replace it hasn't developed any creaks or rattles over the same first 2 year span of time, nor any other problems/defects found. That Toyota vehicle is where I lost faith in the brand & their modern-day commitment to building quality vehicles.

Hi. Looking for an suv that will fit my 6’4 son. He has a longer torso than leg length. Headroom is an issue. How tall is Zack and what are his measurements for torso and leg length. Thanks

[@markmiller3682]

I have a ‘23 Defender 90 and love it. To the viewers question on engine…my question I have for Zack and Andrea is how in the world can Land Rover direct a 20k service interval for oil changes? This is outrageous and I hypothesize is a cause of some of the reliability issues noted. I have changed my Defenders oil at 5-7k and will continue to do so. I have to think that will help with engine reliability

[@e5man4her]

LOL Fun little car and cute as heck, but man, that thing was GUTLESS AF. LOL I'll take high torque over higher HP every day. Probably the reason turbos are so much fun to drive ... it's the torque.

Hey my favorite car couple.. I agree with you on HP…have a 23 Macan GTS.. 90% of the time I never use the HP or Torque.. stuck in traffic most of the time.. once in a while I get to the light first and put it in sport plus just to have some fun.. but otherwise it is not useful to have this much power. It’s more for looks and the exhaust sounds 😀 However since driving it for a bit I am reconsidering a hybrid, because the Macan is so much for insurance, maintenance, and depreciation for being stuck in traffic 🥴 lol Rissy

[@LafemmebearMusic]

You’ll miss the fun. I did what you’re about to do and I missed the fun… I went back to the bmw x3 with the big in-line turbo 6. Life is boring most of the time ya know?

@@LafemmebearMusic I agree with you as I have already done it prior.. ( BMW to Toyota) but it’s still boring sitting in traffic with a fun expensive car lol 😆 I have already had 3 BMWs.. I definitely don’t think life should be boring, but I completely understand what you are saying 👍🏼

[@Mark-rt6fy]

I'd suggest a separate hybrid/ev for boring commute. Also consider indie shops for services, front engined porsches shouldn't be expensive (or difficult) to maintain. Heck I once hand held my phone with youtube video to help a mechanic do oil change on my 911, cost 1/5 of dealer quote. Only bring big items to dealer like pdcc, transmission flush, awd diff flush, etc.

Creeks, rattles and noises usually don't start till years down the road. But if you sit in the backseat during a test drive and you experience a new car flexing or twisting around a corner. The frame needs to be bolstered and you'll over time see door panel opennings expanding. Check out the Walmart parking lot for vehicles that look like the fenders are coming off, they could have used a couple of "I" beams welded along the length of the vehicle.

[@TheNemobile]

It would be great if you can cover the ICCU failure issues in Hyundai/Kia EVs. It looks like a pretty common issue in South Korea especially with Genesis GVxx models.

[@petertsolymosi]

I have a 2019 X5 with the M-Sport package. My summer wheels are 22" with 275/35R22 in the front and 315/30R22 in the back and they are STICKY, firm, and transmit a bit of road noise. But they are great in the Okanagan in the summer. For winter I go down to 20" rims with 275/45R20 square setup and they have a noticeably softer ride which is A-OK for winter. There's definitely a difference between the 20s, 21s and 22s offered on X5s.

My guess is that a fair number buyers fell for the spec sheet & zoom zoom and then got buyer's remorse after living with it awhile. Hopefully Mazda will work out the kinks.

CR doesn't get paid by manufactures but their results are based on their subscribers survey. Pretty much the same people rate cars over and over and there could be bias or old perception from the same group of people who subscribed to this magazine. For example back when Toyota Camry had the "sudden acceleration" lawsuit, CR was asked why they didn't find any potential problem with Toyota? CR admitted that they did not test the Toyota Camry and just went with past reputation that all Toyota cars are reliable. It's equivalent to always vote the same pro bowl or all star player every year based on their past reputation and not how they performed in a particular year. By saying one manufacture is always reliable, it doesn't mean the others are not. Always shop for the best overall "value". It's not like only Asian brands have excellent engineers and the others are from inferior schools. They all know each other, and in many cases have the same training.

Torque is nothing without horsepower or we'd all be driving transport trucks.

[@billurban1581]

Correct. Torque is force, HP is work. A pipe on a torque wrench can apply 1,000 lb ft of torque without moving, therefore no work has been done. 1,000 lb ft (wow, big number!) at 10 RPM is less than 2 HP. How come the “torque is everything” guy is complaining, he’s got 1,000 lb ft? To move a car, or anything, it takes HP.

At the time I told you he had 5 mill subs, because he is an honest car channel blogger. Now he is at 6.2 million subs. He is telling the truth about EV s and he saving consumers money with his honest review. I don't see your subs went up 1 million.

ALL Toyotas are so boring to drive (leased many from 1991-2010-Super Reliable-Super-Boring, and I hear from friends who have them, nothing has changed in last 10+ years) in the reverse LOVED all my VW's Super fun to drive-Super unreliable for my 1998-2012 purchases)......go for the Madza CX5 now! Oh Zach...I mash it EVERY TIME and I am 70 yrs. old! Lol

You would be wrong, sir. I have a 2023 V6 Camry and that is fun to drive for me. 301 hp is more than enough
