[@Richz2]

Watching these British car KZbinr’s buying their ‘dream’ car then selling it again in a few weeks is like watching paint dry. How much longer can they keep doing it? Having 10 + cars in their garage, all of which are funded by finance isn’t sustainable. All their social media is the same. Then you get the ones who every video is a sponsored one... most have wealthy families who no doubt support them. They make out they are living the dream, when really they have nothing to show for it... keep it real Luke... you don’t need flashy cars, your videos are in a totally different world to all the others, who struggle to edit good videos themselves. The days of buying supercars for views is past it sell by date... the ones who are still around in 2/3 years will be the ones who do something else more creative now....

[@InsaneConnected]

I had a 2015 RS3 ABT for 1 year. I thought they were a bit boring before testing one (most probably because of the look) but it ended up being the most fun car I ever drove ! Pops and bangs all the time, super responsive engine and awesome sounding... Plus, they can be highly tuned and have quattro.

Woah, that notification was a surprise! Let’s see what happened 😳

[@darkhelmet878]

Noooooo! I understand why though. Personally I watch your videos for the cinemaphotography, the views, and the roads, and the gt4 is perfect for that. I’m not really into the KZbinrs who change cars and pose kneeling and pointing with stupid looks on their faces for their thumbnails. Your videos are more professional than that. You just need a good car that is yours, and the ones you get for reviews add enough variation. That’s just me though, and you need to do what you think is right for your channel, and you definitely know better than I do! That said, I don’t know your budget, but an RS6 Avant would be my dream winter car, but it’s also expensive. Or a used E63 wagon. You could also go with a TT.

[@da_louisl]

I would recommend an Audi RS3 or any other Audi with Quattro

[@artemZinn]

Couple suggestions for a moddable fun winter car: - Newer one: Audi RS7 - Older one: Subaru Impreza WRX

[@grownsimba8120]

What year WRX?

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Thank you for your honestly and for all your hard work. I am glad things are finally picking up. This has not been an easy year for many of us. BTW, that is a great idea to use that foam on your garage wall to prevent paint chips on your car door. I have just been using my fingers as the bumper. Keep up the great work!

The bloom sure came off the rose quickly on the 718 GT4 compared to the previous generation. All the compromises like particulate filters, cylinder deactivation, stop-start and a significant price bump make buying a pristine used 981 GT4 the smart play.

[@nattcharles]

Not sure if Porsche is the same but when your parked in a tight spot like your garage press and hold the door unlock button on the fob to drop the door windows. Makes it so much easier to get in with the window down. I have to do it with my R8 in my garage every time I get in or out of it. 👍🏻

[@scotie690]

I’m sure that I make part of the minority, but personally would love seeing time going by your GT4. I understand that this sort of channels need to grab everyone’s attention, still it can be done by testing car brands or even loaners. Also appreciate your honesty and I’m glad that you have so many bookings ahead. If I was in your shoes I guess I’d try a Macan GTS. It’s perfect for everyday tasks and even more if you live in a harsh winter country. I did it and I’m loving it, despite my model being the diesel.

[@aftabmohammed7311]

Always supporting you mate! A very informative video. Love your videos as always. It's a very good decision to sell. Whilst you're booked with press cars and travelling a lot, you might not use the GT4 and the market value decreases over that time. Looking forward for your next car and next video. How about Mercedes A45s?

Hey Luke, Just got my 718 gt4 two days ago, found that 3m tape at the left wing support base portion was losing adhesive. I had dealership checked all other owners in the US, it seemed like all cars having the same issue. I wonder if you have noticed that issue or do you have or experience this issue? Thank you.

Luke, I follow you because of your authenticity. I loved that you were vulnerable and honest in this video. Most content creators hide reality from the watchers. Your content is great, will watch no matter what you drive.

The JCR Exhaust on the GT4 isn‘t legal in Switzerland, right? Did you have any problems or could there be any problems with for example insurance?

[@yujiin9850]

Sad to see the 718 GT4 go but would love to see something rare & usable on a daily basis even in the snow (so AWD basically). Something like a Tommi Makinen Mitsubishi Evo 6.5 RS (SAMMIT also just bought one) or maybe a Subaru WRX STI S-Series (S204, S205, S206, S207, etc). If we're going completely opposite from winter, a Honda S2000 (can be modified to Spoon Sports or J's Racing, etc).

[@gregjenkins5380]

For a Swiss winter? maybe an old RS2 Avant or if you're looking for something more modern/sounds better, maybe an RS6!!

[@robinmohl1633]

I guess a RS3 could be a nice option because of the very unique 5 cylinder engine and of course the Quattro drivetrain which helps you getting up everywhere. Realistically up everywhere on streets during wintertime 😄
