alfa romeo has reliability issues, though
Nice car, good review, SMILE and emotions ... Good job, both!
good profile, ugly front, and the boot is a little bulgy.... and the car is a bit the same also
Lexus CT200h and Alfa Romeo MiTo? Completly my taste, thanks for these two reviews Mat and Rebecca!
This would make a fantastic daily driver/commuter. too bad I live in the United States of Not Enough Cars Offered
It looks small outside, but quite big (surprisingly) inside. Nice styling too.
All models released after the 159 are more reliable than Audis in general.
good looking car,but its a heap of shite
Put a Smile on my face, just watching.. :) £300..? Done. √
It is a nice little hatchback, but I prefer the Audi A1 (I know, it is much more expansive).
meh... looks like a ford ka with a better looking and longer front.. and bigger engine...
however this model is the top range and it's called Quadrifoglio which means four-leaf clover...that name is the sport range...even Giuletta has this sport version...is like RS for Renault or RS for Audi...however the engine is not the best on market!
Maybe because Alfa focuses more on a good driving experience rather than ipods?
hmmm... I did forget that this Alfa Romeo MiTo still has that Italian passion that makes the car drive well. We don't have Alfa Romeo here in PH though that's why I don't know much about 'em.
I almost got into a fight with dumb MiTo driver yesterday, son of a bitch just didn't know how to drive.... but the car looked great :D
Bravo!!! At last MiTo's review... Maybe the best color is white. Thanks for this, actually i think this car is better than mini or A1... Maybe 308 GTi or VW GTi would be a good rivals.
Really?!? That's kinda mean... I ddn't expect that in Europe where there are BMWs, VWs, Opel, Jag, though I love JDM, I also love European cars a lot!
I own an Alfa (the Mito in fact) so I may be slightly bias. But I think the main appeal of an Alfa is the sense of occasion when you drive it, because they are NEVER ordinary - they never look just like another car. I still get so many comments on my Alfa after owning for 3 years now, some bad comments, mostly good though. They just get talked about. My friends drive Hondas, Audi, VWs, Ford etc, and yet all they ever do, is talk about how ugly/good looking my Alfa is.=]
That's nice of course, but to me, it just looks like any other car out there. I know I sound like a cynical bastard, but I really don't think new cars are all that 'hot', which is why I guess people like Alfa Romeo's because at least they're something a 'little' different.
love this car!!
Ya she is sexy...car and girl!!!
Hmm I'd disagree with this video... Having owned one...The fuel economy is well not amazing 30mpg max... Wind and road noise isn't amazing... however the worst is the interior quality which ins't amazing... Too many cheap materials i'm afraid hard plastics.... Means if you fork out £600 for the Bose like I did it will rattle. However forgive that and it's great to drive and petrol engines are lovely! Diesels are bad and I mean bad...sound like a blooming tractor. Also dealers are poor still!
MITo, Why u so CUTe
nice car, god review
In my language (Croatian and even in Serbian or Bosnian) MiTo means "bribe". It looks good, though. And if it's not sh*t under the hood as Italian low end cars mostly are...
It has been out for years and for me it is still the most inspiring design out there in the segment. I am not lucky enough to drive one but I see them pretty much on a daily basis. I live near Torino ;)
guess you have many different words for "bribe".MiTo means Milano/Torino. Italian engines are the best in the world,at least compared to Yugo.

fantastic cars beatiful women.. very nice video.. life is good .d..d.d.d.
Beautiful. Alfa Romeo. If anything else matters I don't want to know about it. I'd take this home over pretty much anything else on the market. Except maybe the Giulietta.
love this car
lol you must have a crappy mechanic, my mito is a 2009 qv model with 80000 km on the clock and i have never had a problem.
I'm pretty sure the QV came out in 2010. I have the 155bhp version and I'm pretty happy with it! Truth is Alfas are extremely reliable these days which is more than I can say about my poor 2006 Audi A4 unfortunately... but I love them both! :-)
Well nearmost 3 years (was registered on the 9th October 2009, the first mito in denmark), and im happy that your mito have been as reliable as mine :)
What...No reliability issues for an Alfa...That would be a first.
sexxy. ...and the car isn't too bad either...
That's one sexy car !
i dunno what's more cute and beautiful, her or the car!
love the color combo, i would not have someone drive me around in this, it would have to be me behind the wheel!
Yep!It is a good comment and also the car color!
Beautiful Automobile.
Yes, but your are paying for real wood, real chrome, and its hand made. And what i mean by real chrome, chrome on most cars now a days are just sprayed on and fake plastic. Unlike the RR chrome it is real.
jajajjajajajajajaja it´s great jajaja poor porche xddd i love ninja!!
R1 > ALL
haha the porsche got scared.. xD go ninja go!!
I LOVE KAWASAKI NINJA!:)*LOL
Lol. You clown. What happens when you spend $80,000 on a porsche and get smoked by something you can buy 2nd hand for $10,000. Yeah I'll take note of that. I'm gonna go and sell my bike now. I could hit a bump.
Why are some people so aggro against kawasaki? i mean gimme one reason? It's just fucking pure jealousy they invented the fucking super motosport in motorcycle and they are the pioneers in machines.
Yay Kawasaki! Let the good times roll! :)
noooooooooooooooooooooo looooooooooooool what a commercial!!!! Best Bike EVER!!!!!
12R? dam thats 1200 cc right? thats pretty fast yeah
great the fastest machine zx12r
Kawi for life!!!
HA-HA!! Kawasaki the best!
Haters only hate because they don't have one.
I own a Harley and I think this video is funny, you have to be able to laugh at things like this. Yes there was a time when Harley-Davidson had a bad name and built a bad product "The AMF years" Aswer this if they are so bad and sux why has every other company offered a bike that looks just like a Harley since the design patent was up, I guess it's true, imitation is the best form of flattery.
it's my money i'll spend it on what i want...so i baught a harley fatboy...and i wish i would have done it sooner. so all of you full blooded american's that love buying foreign made bikes,cars,and beer go to that country and live maybe you will find happiness there.stop putting down the american heritages that our forefather's made and crafted.......................
i ve always thought harleys were overpriced ..... but the fact that the design hasnt changed much is coz thats what the most HD riders have always wanted ... when i saw buell the first thing that came to my mind was-" is there anyway i can stick a springer front end on this one?" .....
When you buy Harley, you are buying a name. That's it. I can't remember the last time I saw someone riding a Harley (except for the REALLY old guys that have been riding for 30 years or more) that actually seemed like a genuine person. You're buying a brand name and you are paying premium prices for it. Grow a pair and buy a quality bike.
I live a few miles away from the Harley plant in York, PA. The majority of what ur paying for with a Harley is the labor. I personally know several people the work at the plant and they r paid VERY well! I like Harleys, don't know if I'll ever buy one but it is American made and it costs more to make everything in the US. My ZX10 was probably made by some teenage girl in a sweatshop make pennies a day, WTH! lol
When you buy HD what you are buying or rather what they are selling you is a make believe culture that has not existed in 30 years. The concept is so vail thin that a 5 year old could see through it. What is pathetic about it is that most of the people who purchase HD have memorized the marketing psalms line and verse and built their entire lives around something that does not exist (i.e., pagan religion) HD used to be a counter-culture, now pop culture. They've become that they used to abhor.
I'm a relatively young guy with a decent job and a HD that I really like. They're fun to ride but to each his own. Try not to get too carried away with your opinions . . .
Be proactive about what. The US economy?? Problem is that even if I rode a Victory, the HD loyalist still view it as inferior. Don't make an arguement about buying american made products when the techonology base of HD as not changed in 50 years, but dang they sure make some nice products with the HD logo on them. The last time I was at the HD dealer they had reading glasses, bowling balls and diapers with the logo emblazoned on them.
Shure you can go and buy a Kawasaki VN900...and you'll have and excellent bike that won't brake down for years to come. Ofcourse you'll have to trade in the head turns when you pass by, the iconic sound of of the V-twin and the feeling of driving a piece of history. If you want a racebike, buy a Suzuki GSX, if you want a Tourer buy a BMW R1200GS. If you'r in for cruising the town...there is nothing in the world that commes close to a HD.
Why is it that I see all this trash talk on Harleys by non Harley riders but I've seen very little trash talk about jap bikes from Harley riders? Ive seen way more metric riders talk shit than Harley riders. The current Harley's work just fine, why do people bash others simply for riding preference? I mean, the unreliable harley's were from 40yrs ago !
hey there from europe! germanys biggest mc-mag "motorrad" puts bikes on a 50.000 km test on a regular basis - best quality so far: hd road king! i myself own a ktm (austrian) and a bmw (german) bike - but i think hd builds good bikes - always depends on personal preference - for european markets i think hd has to drop this strange pseudo-rocker image - especially to reach the younger ones
Funny, but it definitely rubs salt into the Harley owners wound. Call it what you want, but there's no bike as nice as a Harley. Many try, none compare, not even Honda. They ride great, work fine, and even my 20 year old Sportster still goes like a beast. If you don't like them, good for you. We can't hear you anyway, our pipes are loud. As far as the bikes getting outsourced, I hope the Harley owners get the bean counters to reconsider, fast!
Nice bike at 0:35 love the old 30s and 40's bikes.
Love them or hate them, but they put more Americans to work than all metrics combined. Take pride in America, buy American products.
Yes Harley does over charge for there sh!t that's y I go to jpcycles for all my bike needs. But I ain't seen jap bike yet that could even compare to a Harley. Japs rule in the crotch rocket world but they need to leave the cruisers to Harley bc they just don't get it. Ride to live!
Do you want a bike that cant hold its value? Sounds like a lawnmower. Made of plastic and makes your back hurt from holding yourself up. Then dont buy a Harley.
Actually the Japanese have been making some pretty nice "copy-cat Harleys" the past few years. Check out the Yamaha Raider, Suzuki Boulevard, Honda VTX1800. I think the new Honda Fury is a pretty cool bike. I think Harleys are still good, though some people just don't have the extra disposable income to afford them. It's not so much their technology or engineering prowess, it's American's pride and patriotism that keeps them in business.
@Stridersng1 I understand. I go through the same thing about BMW and Mercedes cars. I think the engineering and quality, (at least in the late 80s to mid 90s cars), are unmatched by any other car manufacturer. But I get comments of how expensive they are to maintain. They really aren't if know how to use tools and find parts on the internet. Though YouTube is filled will many immature idiots that have nothing better to do than be ignorance or start childish arguments and name calling.
This is bullshit!!!whoever loves stupid little Kawasaki and street bikes are as gay as shit you don't want a harley because you cant even lift it up!!!stupid faggots
I have owned and ridden nearly every make of motorcycle, My 1975 and 1983 Honda Gold Wing being the most reliable. I now ride a H-D and enjoy the ride, but I refuse to dress up like one of the 'village people'!!! What is with the 'costume' attire of most Harley riders?
I ride a Harley. I love harley's and I still thought the commercial was funny.
Ya know,I really love my Harley,but am almost embarrassed to ride it anymore because of all the jackasses out there that give them a bad name.These young guys that run there mouth just have some growing up to do,I get that,but these guys in their 40s,50s and so on,to look down your nose at some one that rides a honda,or whatever...C'mon man!Maybe that guy wants a Harley,and just can't afford it.Maybe,just maybe he likes that Honda.
i would rather have a ultra glide eagle patriot edition limited than a fx123000gxrfxd400cc wasabi tempura edition bike. id rather be with badass bad hygiene bikers than bi curious spoiled fuckin' daddy's little boy richkids with too much time and money on their hands... its either that or well groomed businessmen ducati and bmw riders, and as good as their bikes are, the type of people that do might as well ride pink vespas screaming "im a flowery faggot"
man. i ride Harley. and i really like my bike. but i dont like the HD company... i dont like their commercial aggressive greed.. i find them hypocrites. and i really find this video funny
I have owned about every brand over my 40 years of riding. My favorite? My 2009 HD Road Glide. Be fair, make a commercial about the bike companies from Japan flooding the U.S. market with their bikes selling them at a loss just to get into the market? Make sure you get the angle where the U.S. bike companies went out of business and the workers on the streets. Funny, the Japanese rushed to make a V-Twin, then made it sound just like a Harley and copied the styling. So much "1940's Techniology".
The US Constitution hasn't changed in 200 years . . . So ya see, not everything has to change and because it doesn't change, does NOT make it obsolete.
its more than tech idiots....
harley is cooler.... lol
Stuff like this makes me love harleys even more, its great how people either hate them or love them. i just wish people would focus on what they like instead of going out of there way to just talk shit about something, like a harley.
what do harleys and vacuum cleaners have in common ...........they both have dirt bags on them I've always liked that joke but now its time to go jump on my dyna streetbob and take it out I absolutly love my bike
98% of all Harleys ever made are still on the road....the other 2% made it home :~)
idk ive road jap bikes, crotch rockets, but the first time i road my dads harley, i loved the way it shifted, handled and the comfortability, i dont care for the hunch back style of the crotch rockets, but i like the older jap bikes, suzuki, honda, yamaha, early 80s- mid 80s, but its all in wat ur looking for, you wanna do 160 down main st. , hey its ur preference, if u do a lot of traveling on highways, then more power to ya
haha...halfthrottle is gay! He peddles crap just to get hits on YouTube. lol Heres some solid advice for everyone, ride whatever you like visually and what feels comfortable when you sit on it. Doesn't matter if you ride a Honda, Harley, Suziki, BMW, Custom and etc. A true biker likes bikes period. It's about the ride, not about who can afford what. Have fun guys...don't get caught up by bike haters on the net... :) Yes, I've owned a Ninja and an HD, they are both GREAT. Hell yeah!
This is the most asinine video ever. If you actually understand anything about small engines and how they work you would know harley davidson has the most advanced ignition systems and fuel systems. Don't even get me started on resale value. Buell owes a lot to harley davidson, and he's rebuilding the american sportbike industry. Where would he be without his years at harley davidson? If you wanna well built cruiser you wanna harley davidson or your lying to yourself. Japanese cruiser = wannabe.
ahah funny, im a huge harley fan always have been put some of the jokes in this he makes are true they sell out to patriotic hertiage idea which makes harleys a little over priced. but he forgot to mention all the amazing qualities harleys have and the millions of dollars of engineering that goes into harley davidson. They are very advanced bikes and very reliable. I just hate those rice rockets becuase they sound like a baby farting and are uncomfortable to ride.
You said it shit head Heritage tradition I see different styles and colors .Some folks like the springer front end I do and dont give a fuck if you dont .We dont buy it to make you happy shit head ,and you dont buy what you buy to make us happy .Its a little thing called choice .I chose Harley I love my Harley .If the motors are so out dated why is everybody trying to copy them ? Why is everybody trying to build what they think is a good cruiser .The only one to come close is the Victory
Alright alright LOL I am sorry I just get extremely pissed off when people dog on Harley's .You may not like them and thats fine .But there are some older time bikers that aint as nice as me .I have owned Triumphs ,Kaws and a Goldwing .Harley always lasted a lot longer and thats what I like .Ride what you want I will ride what I want .Now ya aint got to shit in yer hand .Ya threw me there
I feel the same way. Harley's clever advertising campaigns have set the motorcycle industry back a long way.
I dont give a fuck what you think I like Harleys plain pure and simple they have been doing it right for a lot longer .If you dont like them FUCKING RIDE SOMETHING ELSE .I like Victory but I dont want one .I like Triumph BUT I DONT WANT ONE .I DONT LIKE THESE TINNEY JAP JUNKERS and there is no way in fucking hell I will own one .Backwards my ASS it is a niche .You have sport riders you have dirt riders trial riders mopeds quads and you have cruisers .
Ya really dont get it do ya ? I am done with ya I told you and you dont listen .I DONT FUCKING WANT ONE OF THOSE SHIT BOXES not because they are SOO wonderful .I LIKE HARLEY thats what I ride thats what I want to ride that is all I will ride .Nothing else comes close for ME ride a goddamn unicycle for all I care .I too am a mechanic 27 yrs diesel and auto .Fit in huh ? brother you dont want me fitting in.I could tell you stories that would curl yer short and curlies .I done with ya
I have told you and told you IDONT CARE WHAT YOU RIDE ride it .Your like one of those little gnats that wont leave ya alone .I dont need to go fast ,I dont need to pop wheelie's ,I despise stop light racers .For me a Harley is perfect if you dont like it here's a suggestion for ya FUCK OFF !! I dont care .I look like a assclown wel get you one of those racing suits and get ya a bright yellow one then you can move to San Fran cause you will look like a ass bandit
You are a fucking moron .Dont tell me I care what you ride fuck off .I have ridden with guys that ride other than Harleys If ya look in old Easyrider mags you will find they sold Honda Patches in there also .I guarantee I have gone faster than you ever will PEEWEE .Ya know what Fuck you you just egg and egg its like you are trying to get something out of me that wont happen RICERS ARE SHIT I RIDE A HARLEY AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT FUCK YA PENIS LICKER good bye and good riddance
I will admit Harley is a shit box the day they treat ole scratch for frost bite on his pointy little tail asshole .Look in the mirror and I see a happy longhaired biker type redneck who is happy being me not some annoying little assbite that thinks he knows it all .Uneducated thats a laugh ,I have an associates degree in diesel tech ,I grad from high school ,I can drive anything under the sun and on land .I have worked in body shops ,truck shops in construction and demolition ,
I dunno... my XR1200X is a lot like the opposite of everything you said... :-P It's good to make fun of H-D though. Keeps them honest. :-)
Hey Harley bikes are bad ass if Mr. Buell is pissed because they cancel his weird and poor designed bikes than so be it.
I kinda like some Harley Davidson models, but i have to admit, this is pretty funny. :)
wow, you're an idiot. I'm sure no where in the entire world of the internet, there is not a single video anywhere dedicated to picking on metric bikes. Price a metric cruiser, and find a comparable Harley, then price that one. The metric will be close to and sometimes even more expensive than a Harley. But, the Harley will still hold it's value 5 years down the road when that same metric is worth less than half what it cost new. Do some research before you bash, you dipshit.
just think it's funny when uneducated people like you bash harleys. between HD's and comparable metrics, metrics are only slightly cheaper and sometimes even more expensive than an HD for the same features. Yet, for some odd reason, metrics drop half their resale value 20 minutes after they're driven off the lot and HD's don't. Weird how that works.
funny you mention the "noise" of an HD when metric companies program misfires into some bikes to get the Harley sound, and a lot of aftermarket companies build their exhaust and owners modify theirs to sound like a Harley.
A goldwing? Seriously? One of the heaviest bikes on the market with horrible gas mileage and looks like a tank??? I wouldn't be caught dead on one of those things. I can ride my deuce all day with no problems, so it fits me just fine. When I'm 65 years old, maybe I'll look into one, tho. And talking about dragging parts on the ground in a discussion about harleys is just idiotic. It's a cruiser, they're not built to be able to easily drag a knee in the corners, numbnuts.
I think I see now why you USED to sell bikes, and do not currently. Let's go back to the fact that 85% of HD's are priced the same FROM THE START as comparable metrics. But, like I've said already, the metrics don't hold their value. I've already had this discussion on another forum and done plenty of research to support my argument, so don't waste your time telling me that HD's are twice the price of metrics new and blah blah blah. They're not. But still are worth more used.
what an idiot.ridin my 3rd Harley and never had problems other than tires.
hey jackass, I DON'T WANT TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS I LISTED. If I did, I'd have an R1 sitting in my garage, not a Harley. I got over my "go as fast as possible" stage when I was 24 years old, I have a daughter that depends on me to support her. The speed limit is only 65 around me, and I could care less to ever see a track again.
i have a 95 1200 custom with 76,000 miles, never rebuilt. riden daily. and I live in NY!!!
I fucking love Japanese motorcycles and i love more than anything the fact that every hardcore Harley rider has a american flag somewhere on there leather but the fact that their sacred Harley Davidson are the saddest excuse of what america strives to stay on top of in the transportation market... that is performance handling comfort safety and affordability
Nice! I just rode with a guy Sunday who has a brand new Honda 750 shadow. Went back to the same place he bought it from less than 30 days after he drove it off the lot, wanted the 1300. They would only offer im $5000 less than he paid for it new on trade!!! Boy, that sure sounds like a jap company supporting its customer, eh? HD ran a deal a few years back buy a sporty, ride a year, they give you retail for it on trade for a bigger bike.
Interestingly though the evolution of a biker always goes the same way. You drive different Jap bikes for a while or even over a decade, then once you finally get over your prejudice and get that Harley you no longer want to drive anything else. Ever. Of all the countless bikers I've known that eventually evolved to Harley riders, less than 5% ever bought any other brand again. But hey, if I have to explain you would not understand. Have fun whaterver you ride.
Harley's are awesome. I like the feel when everything is shaking under me and when there is a lot of noise so people will look at me and my lather on me... I don't care about bike performance, just about that attention, It's just so cool...
OK Max I see your point ! Maybe I was Too Fast to past judgement . And what't this fell for it also crap ! I was just wondering where you got your Information ? And YES Harleys are overpriced but they have to Pay AMERICAN UNION Workers to produce them ! Labor's not Cheap Here in the States ! I Think that they think that the product their producing is good. But what the Hell Do I Know ,It's not possible to know what's going on in someone else's mind or know what they are thinking .Only women ca
When you say "Outdated Technology" that's not Always such a Bad Thing ! My Chevrolet Truck was Built in 1936 And She's great ! I wish she could Talk . The straight six is way outdated but chances are it'll still be running after I'm Not . Just like It Outlasted the Previous Owner . Harley Engines from what I've been Told are based upon a slice of a Radial Six Aircraft Engine . And a lot of these are still in the Air . Honda Engines Run great ! We'll see... In a Hundred years or so if their Lega
Ahhh, yet ANOTHER Harley bashing video. Funny thing is all the rice riders go out of their way to hate on Harleys yet I rarely see it the other way around. About 95% of what was said in the video is pure bullshit but they speak it like gospel truth. The only thing close to true was that Harley holds to traditional styling / retro look. It's a bike preference you fucking losers; now go outside, knock the dust off your ugly Honda and go ride some.
jap bikes= horrible sound do to the overstock of rice in the valves. harley daivdson= the true american badass live to ride, ride to live! HD
yall are prices of shit HD has the most advanced electical systems right now thew new HD LAN systems is all sensors no switches is 4 wires goin to the controlls and fly by wire technology no throttle cables any more. more response in acceleration and u kno what i can wheelie my harely better than any peice of shit rocket can
I have owned bikes since I was a kid in NM when you only had to be 13 to get a license for one. Totally different type of person rides a Harley and I love it. I owned a Night Rod Special that would just about beat any Jap bike. Now I ride a Road Glide /103ci, because I like to travel. About the oil leak, you need to get out of the 50's and grasping for straws, I've never had an oil leak with any of my existing or past Harleys, although I did with my Nijia.
I have a Road King 01...Best bike I've ever owned...No leaks here.....
Not to be rude but you're just repeating what he said in the video. I recently moved to a somewhat rural area and there's a lot of Harleys around here, I see them very often and I was never a fan of cruisers but I have to admit I'm warming up to them. I've had people here tell me that HDs are quality bikes and worth the money. I understand it's meant to be all vintage, etc, but I mean it's not like they're the same product from 50 years ago. cont'd...
..the manufacturing processes have been updated I'm sure, the build quality seems to be high, and they do have some updated technology in the old style bikes, do they not? Seems like people are being unfair. I mean if a lot of people love classic cars... I'm sure many people would be happy if there was a company that built vintage style cars that have the required performance for today's roads yet the old style feel. Maybe I'm way off.. oh well. I'd like to get a Sportster someday! =D
He has every right to be mad. You don't like Harley's ok we get it. They are to loud to slow cost to much. You think they are not reliable and break down. Out dated got it. So don't buy one ride what ever floats your boat. I'll ride what I like you ride what you like. I don't need or want your opinion on how I spend my money. Ride what you want and shut the hell up. I'll take my Harley's
@maxrider. Again not trying to impress just educate. Son I have not just ridden but owned Ducati,Yamaha,Kawasaki 750 triple"the Harley guys hated that bike in the 70s" Honda's125 to 1200 Goldwing. They were all great bikes, but as I got older my riding style has changed. I enjoy what I ride sorry you don't care for Harley's but as you get older you will change too. Hopefully less disrespectful and less immature. Take care son. Ride safe if you really ride at all.
Yeah I only make fun of Harley's because I love them so much.
why so much hate ? life is too short to be hating i have both a zx10r and a harley streetbob. i enjoy one just as much as the other.
All right, i need to move on to another thread already. I've had a Hayabusa, a Vulcan, a Ninja, and 2 Harleys. In my opinion, which we all know opinions are like assholes, WE ALL GOT ONE, the older you get the more you'll lean towards nostalgia. And my Hogs are the best bikes I have owned and funnest for my age. Granted, having said that, Goldwings will blow the shit out of my Road King, but I still don't like them. Hogs just put a shit eatin' grin on my face everytime I ride them. Bye, bye now.
I really do feel sorry for Mr. Buell. It isn't right. They should have given him the vrod engine to play with. But that's not a 1950's bike that was shown. More like a '47. And Harley has come a long way in the last few years. I have had a Harley built in '46 and still own a 76 flh and an '04 Heritage. I don't make fun of the metric guys. If you ride, you ride. Harleys have a thing about them that not is fully understood by all riders.
What a load of shit! You guys forgot what "to ride" means... stop worring if the guy next to you owns a Harley, a Japanese bike or a European bike. Riding is about pleasure, not a "brand war". Harleys are obsolete? Yeah, and that's what is special about them! I love the Ducati's... and the Triumph's, and the Hondas, and the BMW's also! It's a Bike? Got a big engine? Than I like it! Stop being silly guys... Please!
@themaxrider so what your really saying is you wish you could build a bike as good as Harley (but you can't ) and your jealous that they are better at marketing than you are. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought you just hated Harley's and the people that ride them. Merry Christmas to all even the harley haters
I know humor,and I see it here,still I got an Harley myself,-but that doesent mean that you should post this video and courage people to go and buy an Hayabusa or so and go 190 mp/h and become an hasard to them self and others,-we Harley folks like Harley cause it has an personality and pride both in achievement and History that goes all the way back to 1903.The caring for our bikes is mutch more than "Racebike" owners,thats cause we passion in our Harleys. Best regards from Norway.
thank,you for understanding in keeping your love for your vehicle and ensure its in good cindition,also thanks for good comment,-and I actually just put a hand on the bike once and stroke it and I sayed something like "One day..",and then I just smiled at it,for some it sound weird,but for us HOGèrs its a feeling that is right.Choosing to own an Harley,is like to get your D**ck sucked,you rather would like an woman to do it to you,so now you know how we feel owning an Harley.
I don't like harleys but come one man, people just have different taste than you. A lot of riders don't care about performance or reliability, they just want something classic and cool and loud. For them I say ride on. (I'll stick to sport bikes and cafe racers, however.)
Ride a Harley and then try to bash it. I bet you wont find it so bad. And the commercial is incorrect in so many ways its not even worth mentioning. Harley have modern technology they are just more simple then Jap bikes and when it comes to reliability Harley has no problems there. They are a top quality product built simply for a different purpose then sportbikes what's so wrong with that
I rode the rest, I only wish I would of bought a Harley-Davidson Along time ago, I didn't know what Iwas missing out on, I love the Harley life style, I truly have met alot nice people that ride them, Thank You Harley-Davidson....
Well thats funny because they sold me a bike, and it had nothing to do with the lifestyle or brotherhood, I ride alone because I prefer to. Im a cruiser rider not looking for 150MPH, although I love the torque 85 lbs of the HD, and the sound. I compared other cruiser models (imports) and the performance, lean angle, ect. is comparable. Now:Resale value HD excellent. Imports next to nothing. Fact not opinion
i can't believe i like this car, got character
Well, Clarkson did say, this is the best car in the world... :D
He forgot to mention that you can drive through a burning building with out having your icecream melt!!!!
I've had the 110 diesel version of the Yeti for 8 months now, it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it:) Good all round review Matt.
watch the top gear version Jeremy Clarkson loves this car!
lol it was even faster than a ferrari :P
Its better than an X3 - trust me, BMW's are not worth the money. My friend traded his X3 for a Yeti last year and is more than impressed.
I guess youre right, but i still would buy the 1,8 with manual. And why you dont like Diesel ? it is well known that Diesels in Skoda's are as good as petrol engines. I drive 1,8 diesel and had 2.0 petrol. The sound is very surpressed in yetti from high pressure engine.
This car is also great if you have the need to drive through a fireplace with an ice cream or the need to park a helicopter on its roof.
great interior beautiful
I like the body design. It reminds me of an older Honda CRV. Great trunk usability.
very few people actually know that this car is amazing
i love the yeti i wish it came to north america as a vw!
I reckon this lil' Skoda could become a cult car in years to come!...its got a quirky face, and Its probably built to last ...
I like that headrest, it looks VERY functional.
Best Car ever
Best car ever.
@MacGyver920 NOOOO skoda superb is
this truly is the best car in the world
My favourite car of all time, I think.
Egh i admit, i love this car and the red makes the car look fantastic
I'd prefer when the left to right driver side conversion takes place, the indicator stalk is also moved to the opposite side of the gear lever. Bit of lazy cost savings. Spoils an otherwise excellent car. Signed Skoda Superb owner in Australia.
This car is Czech with German engine (VW). It is amazing, i own the 4x4 1.8lt version, 160 hp, i feel like the king of the road. :-) In Greece it was voted "car of the year" for 2010. Looking at its price and what it offers it can be easily regarded as the best car ever built, as other people have mentioned in their comments here.
along with the superb and this, Skoda (and VW ofc) has done really well the recent years.
I seriously like this car.
Just ordered one of these yesterday, can't wait (6 months delivery for 1 here in the uk though, boo...) To megamanmadrid :- the yeti as does the vast majority of cars from the last ten years has adjustable headrests on the rear seats the same as the front seats have. In this video they are set in there lowest position to allow better rear visibility for the driver.
I really like the flat rear end, it makes it look more rugged and utilitarian then the Tiguan.
one of the best cars that is always under the radar, because its a skoda.
There is no denying cars get better in terms of the stuff they offer, this thing with the seats is nice. Actually I would drive a Skoda, a VW is comparable but in the Americas you can´t get a small VW that is made in Germany, only the brazilian crap, which definitely sucks.
I think you have better test it before commenting. Skoda is one of the oldest car companies in europe, part of vw group, made in Czech Republic , a very modern industrilized prosperous central european country , I dont know where you re from.
No, try quick, multi-award winning quality car. Nothing underpowered about it.Coming from America, you obviously haven't been in one, therefore your comment is pointless prejudiced crap.Oh, and theres an 'r' in easteRn.
I'm getting the 4x4 red color this week. The test drive was really good, and this red color makes it look tough and sporty. For its price, this is the cheapest & most practical SUV for anyone's needs.
skoda yeti>range rover evoque
Depends which engine you go for, like any car. Not that you'd by this car for its performance.....
First, I'm not an eastern european spongebob, I'm from Germany and I don't think this is in the east of europe. How do you define "underpowered"? If you want go fast, you won't buy such a car. And for its price, it has a great quality, part of the VWAG. If I would "need" a SUV, I would buy the Yeti rather than a Volkswagen, simply because its much cheaper, and I like this kind of "understatement", driving a eastern european car, that is built as good as a volkswagen, in some parts even better
I have a red 4x4 one...its great!
Awesome-car!
This car looks very nice in red, I think its the best color for the Yeti :D
Cool vehicle. It's like a poor man's LR.
Skoda vehicles are not available in North American countries because they havent passed the Ambiental test to be sold. They arent also available in some latin american countries like Ecuador, Peru and Argentina. But they still great cars and very very safety for lateral crashes. 10/10 my opinion.
i like all skoda
Fantastic car and yet another great review from this bloke, his reviews are the best.
What a car, I just need a family now to fill it out.
Im an owner of this turbo car.Hey guys its a good thought to buy the yeti,you wont regret it.About you ruruxbery suck my yeti asshole
It would be great in the winter!
I just ordered the Focus Titanium sedan, these cars ride really nice. I didn't care for the black rims on the model he drove, but I live in Michigan. In the winter no matter what color your rims are they all turn black because of snow and salt. So they just remind me of dirty rims. But I do highly recommend this car to any perspective buyer. Also get the Sony audio with myford touch because its a cool system and no button clutter.
Just purchased a 2012 Focus SE with sport package, powershift auto trans, 203a package, the exact same car in the video but painted white and i went with the 16" wheels so no blowouts from the occasional pothole in the freeway. Paid $21,600 USD. The console is only hard to navigate if you're artarded, Very solid performance, cockpit feels great, test drive one and you'll fall in love.
Well the Elantra would be more of a family car, and it has a lot more room. Friend of mine got the titanium package Focus and the Mytouch is crap. I think the Ford is more exciting, but I'd rather make the more practical choice.
i pretty much agree with everything you said including the "Mytouch is crap" :) that's why i opted to NOT get the mytouch. It'll probably work fine when microsoft releases a patch for it to fix all it's glitchyness. That being said the focus still has superior technology inside it, epas power steering, stiffer chassis, DI fuel injection, higher HP/Torque. True the elantra has slightly more room inside, less than 1 inch for any given comfort measurement
We will get the ST. It's HOT!
@LimitlessPoppy: Last a life time?? Are you serious?? Cars are way more reliable now than they were back in the day. I guess you just completely ignore the facts about manufacturing cost, gas mileage, and reliability. Because cars back in the day were not as reliable as they are today, plus their fuel economy has gotten much better.
@LimitlessPoppy: lol I will, And I will continue get better gas mileage vs. foreign cars. Other than the new Toyota Camry, american cars are starting get better gas mileage than foreign cars in their same HP class. :) Another example. A 505 HP Corvette Z06 comes with a 5 year/ 100,000mile power train warranty. No other high performance production car comes with a warranty thats bigger than that. And there is a reason for that. :)
Actual if you ask anyone that owned a car new in the 60's and 70's had them in their garage constantly. They needed attention and adjustment all the time, new cars are much more reliable especially considering how much more their is to go wrong. The only thing on old cars that was maybe heftier than the new ones were engine blocks and some auto trannys
I used to HATE American cars but just purchased a blue hatchback Focus. It is INCREDIBLE! It handles better than cars costing $10k more than it does and the fit and finish KILLS other cars in this class. You MUST get the manual transmission though. The automatic is shift happy for fuel economy and sucks. The manual is incredible and one of the best clutch feels in any car I've ever driven. Forget Sync and the extras. Go base model manual transmission but WITH sports package!
The new Focus is not at all shitty. I test drove every car in that class and had owned only VW's and Hondas in the past and this new Focus is the greatest car I've ever owned. Fit and finish, handling, braking, steering feel, interior quality, styling and even the engine note and power are BRILLIANT. This Focus could not possibly be more different than the previous Focus. This one was designed in Germany I believe and you can tell. Still built in the USA though which I like.
i really want one of these, i like the mazda 3 as well for hatchback but i'd consider either of them. then again mazda and ford have many similar vehicles because ford used to/still owns mazda. but honestly, i would never consider the cruze over this because its very slow, and also this car has so much nice stuff in it that its not even funny.
I agree completely. I wont be in the market for a new car till about the 2014 model year, but if I were now...I would def get the Focus. Actually I am leaning more towards the Focus ST. And by the time I am ready to buy...they will have made upgrades to the existing awesomeness that is the ST
yeah the st look amazing. I Really enjoy the new focus's interior and design, i also really like how i can get the exact SEL hatchback i want for under 19 grand, it may be a little more pricey than the chevy cruze or toyota corolla, but sorry the cruze and corolla are underpowered, even though i had a corolla for 8 years i still would definately choose the focus.
I have a 2012 Focus Sedan, it's awesome, highly recommended!
C'mon, Ford Sales Thailand, out from the grave!!!
Those who are vertically challenged? I take offense to that, but thank you for considering the shorties in the world. I'm 4' 10" and have a hell of a time with some cars lol. I love my 2005 focus and until it fails me I'm keeping it, but this one is definitely gonna be the replacement unless I get my aunts Mini Cooper ;)
Now im a fan of the Focus Hatchback since the new look from 05 but its not such a great interior material quality,its the same old plastic and an 21k car with no automatic dual climate control ? Serious? And the so called Torque Vectoring Controls ... WOOOOOOW , you discovered the warm water :) That think of braking the inner or accelerating the outher wheel its anthic :) It first appears on tanks in 1940 :) and an older technology called limited slip diff does the same thing so whats the wow?:)
For any extra 200 CCM u pay 89$.Now explain it to me how the hell u pay for it when 620$ is a fat paycheck?How?All Europe genrally need a 6-7-8L/100 km and so u don't struggle your brain,thats no less then 30mpg but if possible more then 40.Try that on any modern american car then cry.Thats why only successfull company in Europe its Ford,Opel and other ordinary car maker.So here proper engine is max 2L.If you a burnout fan,money burning car stand is a bit further.
Ford is nothing if not resilient. They manage to build cars that are terribly difficult to work on and that will need worked on, and yet keep drawing new buyers and repeat buyers with their ability stylize their new vehicles. I suppose for the person who likes to drive a new car every couple of years, Ford has done a good job at managing that market and it's a fairly large one at that.
This car is awesome! Just pure awesomeness! Will be the best choise in the class without any doubt. Happy for everyone who bought it, they really got the piont.
I have to say, American car companies are really gettting their act together when it comes to small, compact cars. A long way since the 80's and 90's haha
I don't know what previous Focus you guys got in the US but here in Europe the previous Focus was awesome !
best car i ever bought,had 11 fords and 7 of them were bought new ,this is by far the best design of the lst 3 focus'es i had before
the only thing shitty about the new focus is the price. then again, that should be expected from what is basically a German car.
great car, for everyday driving
I love the new Focus, it's a great car. I get well over 30mpg with smart driving with the 5-speed manual (Exact same spec as the test car in this video, except Red Candy instead of Race Red), and really good power and acceleration when needed. I know other owners with the manual who are able to get it to 40mpg on highway cruising too, without even using Cruise. My complaints? No exhaust tip, and the cargo cover comes off sometimes. All negligible nitpicks. It's absolutely a wonderful car!
If you don't like the focus don't watch the video. I'm a beginner driver about to get my liscense and the focus was a good choice so far
The chevy sonic is an ugly bug eyes piece of shit...FORD IS THE BEST AT ANYTHING
I liked this car a lot when I tested it. The only downside for me was the clutch pedal feel. Also a 5 speed manual is starting to seem outdated even in the C-segment. I ultimately chose the 2012 Golf TDI 6M as it was nicest overall, but at GTI money quite expensive.
Taking them on? Well, GM & Ford are the top two sellers in the world, sometimes Toyota gets in there tho
I rented this car in San Fran. The manual mode is awesome - shifts like a VW DSG.
Im gonna buy this car next week they get great gas milage
Focus is the best selling car in 2012. 500,000 in the first 6 months.
The focus has always been awesome here, just underrated
Idk. It looks weird. It bothers me. Interior looks good. But the car looks just weird.
Best selling car in the world!
I have this car and im only 20 ! all I can say its has that pussy magnet. Arent I right Borat ?
I think its damn sexy for a ford 4-door.
I love this car <3
my motorcycle dream!!!!!!!!
The REAL ORIGINAL classic styling came first on the Indian, and not from the Harley. I just got my facts straight from Discovery Channel. Indian bikes are legendary.
Indian is the original American Bike. Harley is just a tag along
I have a 02 Indian Spirit and I love it.
To those who have chimed in and dogged the Gilroy Indian's, I own a 2000 Chief. Ridden it for years. I LOVE IT. Now, when I hear "This Indian is just a copy of a Harley"... well, Harley copied the Indian first! Do your history. I think it is brilliant for a company that made the FIRST american motorcycle, had their designs ripped off and lost their sales... to come back and build a bike likes these after someone else iron out the kinks. After all, this is America. This is how we roll lol.
Indian Motorcycle looks and performs nothing like a Harley Davidson!! Just ride an Indian and you will find out. Indian was the first Motorcycle and the company was incorporated in 1901, harley came on the scene after copying the Indian Motorcycle in 1904. Read your history. I own a 2009 Indian Chief Roadmaster.

I own a 2009 Indian Chief Roadmaster. Indian uses a proprietary 105 CI Power Plus Engine. No SS engines are used!!
Indian has never claimed to be a "bad ass" motorcycle company. The design is to honor the classic "Indian" design. Get over the Harley comparisons and get over the price tag. If you want one buy one, if you don't like them dont buy one. I have a 2000 Chief and it gives me exactly what I want, a cruiser with classic lines and and a great ride. Put them down all you want but let me tell you, when you pull into a gas station, 7 11, or just ride one down the street, 99% of the people appreciate it.
What a wonderful sound.
finally, a ferrari with more power than a 50k shelby mustang. that thing puts ferrari back on top in my book, but i really think they could have eeked out another 10th on that lap time. the options turn me off though. $1500 for badges is bullshit. electric seats should not cost almost $4k
no way, not fair! the best car on earth.... i'm super jealous... nice intro, still crappy music for the intro, great, great review.... about 1/10th as good as the top gear review by jeremy clarkson but at 1/1000th the cost that makes it 100 times more effective ;) clarkson didn't mention the mag-shocks! point for matt! 2 votes thumbs down? who the hell? why? thumbs up, definitely .... this is the BEST SHOW YET and I totally want this car... totally! i'll never own it, too much cash!
The sound of it is so.... omg
I'm not in love with the front air dam, everything else is stellar.
never knew that the 458 was that close to enzo's numbers... man thats too sick!!! The exhaust is amazing
That car just sounds nasty... when I win the lotto (which i never play) I will put myself on a wait list cause I'm sure there is one.
God, that... that sound. It's like nothing else in the world.
Great review, It shows that you enjoyed yourself and that the car truly is spectacular. One bit that annoyed me though, why slam the trunk at the beginning? This is one of few halo cars that people strive to have resting behind their hands. It wouldn't have bothered me if you are reviewing a focus. Anyhow, no big deal. Great job, thanks!
Good video Matt,I like it. That 458 is impressive but I still love the looks of the 360 and with modifications I'm sure you could get those times.
now thats a truly amazing car good job Ferrari.
probably the fastest ferrari ever made? get real
When you say "430 to 458 is the largest HP increase in Ferrari history." It sounds a bit misleading. Sounds like you are talking about horsepower when you are talking about model #. I know you know the actual horsepower numbers, but maybe could have mentioned them. 458 stands for 4.5 liter v-8, not 458 hp (once again, I'm sure you know this; however, some ppl do not). SWEET REVIEW. Cheers all around. That car is epic.
looks like rob is doing good for himself got the 458 already awesome!
this car is awesome how did u manage to get the keys? isnt the scuderia faster than the enzo on fiarono or however it's spelled?
Good point about the radio. With that sweet music from the engine, who cares about listening to tunes. I wonder if I can rent one on my next visit to Vegas.
The only thing I don't like about that car that Clarkson pointed out on Top Gear was the Nav and the Spedometer share the same screen, so you can't have both showing at the same time, but otherwise . . . if I won the lottery:P I'd buy one.
i din't like the looks of this car at first but i think i just fell in love
I would have said that about the 430, but definitely not the 458. It sounds great. As for carbon seats, I think they are only an option on European models (air bags and all for US cars). Either way, haven't tried them.
Maybe a nice ass ferrari, but ferrari needs to learn some quality control!! They must not care about their cars when they easily overheat & burn to a crisp. Five have been destroyed already by fire, it's sad!!
How does this compare to the 599GTB? In Ferrari money it's not all that much more expansive than this. I've never driven a 599 or the 428, just the F355 that was at a car show. It sounds like it's a great daily driver, but if he had the option between a 599GTB or a 458 Italia without price being a factor, which would would you choose?
Wow, I havent been in a Ferrari since the 355 (when I was a valet.) This thing looks dead sexy inside and out.
Me likey. Best looking Ferrari to come along in years, IMHO. Best Ferrari to come along in years in just about every other way too, methinks. This coming from a diehard Porsche fanatic. The 458 is one of the few sports cars - along with the Noble M600 - that I would genuinely want to own outside of a Porsche.
458.......... lucky bastard
after driving this, the 430 is completely obsolete.
holy crap thats a amzaing car, seen bunch of videos and can't get enough i just wanna make love to that car
how do you even compare this to the GT-R. This car's got the essence of a true race car. MR layout with a high revving high displacement/power ratio engine. And its lightweight.
sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy car
i like the car but thats it , lol
it seems like a great fast car and all but something that Ferrari never actually focuses a part of their engineering on is safety. if your going the speed it was designed for and you just slip up on a turn, that car's gone, let alone you. i dont even think they do a crash test... theres not a single video of any tests done on it and yet theres so many videos of them crashed horribly. plus most of the Ferrari's on salvage auction websites, the car is totaled and the interior didnt hold up.
he didn't, haha. great review none-the-less, as well as an amazing machine.
Great vid Gotham dream cars is the best!
of course Ferrari does crash tests. They are incredibly safe cars, (fires aside). Only people who are going very, very fast die in Ferrari's, and they would have died in any other car at that speed anyway. The interior isn't meant to hold up, it comes completely apart when the 8 airbags deploy. Neither is the car, as it's designed to crumple and save the lives of the passengers inside.
How the hell did you guys get your hands on one? Oh well congrats awesome car
That car sounds like a freakin' dinosaur. So beautiful. I've never really had Ferrari's in my list of dream cars, besides the F40, but damn...this thing shoots up the list, possibly to number one.
i dont know which review is better, jeremy clarkson's or farah's...anyways the conclusion is in concurrence: this car is unbelievable
Excellent review of a gorgeous and obviously amazing machine - informative yet never hard work to watch, and entertaining without being try-hard. Good job, Matt.
This review was ALRIGHT at best. We all know that this car is amazing, but there has to be some negatives. First of, Im not hating on TST, you guys have the best jobs in the world. Top gear complained about the turn buttons and the nav being in the same screen as the as the speedo. We, as car lovers, would also want to know the "cons" of the cars, even if the car is absolutely breathtaking.
well, Top Gear was wrong about the screen/speedo thing. If you have the nav on, the speed moves to the other side screen. The blinkers on the wheel definitely take some getting used to, but it's not that big a deal either. The major cons of the car are simply price, ridiculous maintenance costs, limited storage space, and the very high odds of the car catching on fire. The radio is in there somewhere but I couldn't find it. Other than that, pretty damn good.
I've always wonderd.. other than speed .. is there any big difference from building up a car than driving a ferrari? is there some crazy feel to the steering and pedals.. that just makes it worth the crazy price.. or is it just some stupid fast car with nice handeling? they are gorgeous cars.. but so damn expensive, is it worth it? or maybe just build your own beast for a quarter of the price
if you care about a car being able to put down numbers, then you can probably build a race car yourself for much less money that will run good numbers. Ferrari's have a very "complete" feel to them, from the power delivery, transmission, steering feel, suspension and balance. Combine that with exotic materials, exclusivity, rarity, and styling, and you really can't replicate all that. Plus, girls won't give a shit about your home built race car, but they will love your Ferrari.
nice review matt, it's a great car, it's an even better driver's car, but i can't like the 458, just can't. it doesn't look good and sound enough. look like an ugly mid-engine space ship with wheels. those front and back lights for god sake, bonkers but not prety.it's doesn´t sound half as good as the stock 360 modena not mentioning the 360 CS or the scuderia. another disappointment it's not offer a manual why?? , for fuel saving, for the noob rich pleople who can't drive??
You can't understand why they don't offer a manual in that car until you actually drive it. I can't properly explain it, especially since I personally prefer stick, but the system works so well I just can't hate on it.
You are kidding right? Do you know how fast that transmission shifts? Rowing gears is part of a bygone era. You'll never afford a car like this so there is no explaining it to you, but trust me when I tell you. The stick isnt missed at all.
Great car.. The thing about the preload brake pads is not new and invented på Farrari. BMW has used the technic one their models for 5 years.. Maybe they invented it. :-)
What a nice sound
have you actually driven a 458? You would probably be the first person on earth to call the car a disappointment if you actually drove it.
I am pleased to know that high-end companies like Ferrari are thinking about the average needs of motorists. After all, when have you ever seen a Lamborghini that can transport fugitives? Good mark for Ferrari.
I'm totally new to your show and have been watching a few episodes now and I really like them! I think you talk about relevant stuff like feeling and passion for the cars, sure figures are relevant also but what you feel when you drive a car is the most important issue for me. Btw, the 458 is my dream car now, if I ever win big amonts of money...!! Keep up the good work!
You know, I generally prefer stick shift in cars, and in the 430 and 360 I would have said 100% yes, give me a stick. However, fewer than 2% of Ferrari's cars were sold with a stick last year, so you can't blame Ferrari for dropping the option. And the Dual-Clutch box in the 458 really feels very well matched to the car. It's easy for people to call blasphemy because there's no stick, but when I drove it, I didn't care. It rocked.
lol, makes sense. But either way Id love to have your job and drive nice cars like that
what a car!
the sounds it makes on the over run gives me a stiffie!
now thats a car
I believe the jump from the 360 Modena to the F430 was bigger (400hp to 490->90hp) than to the 458 Italia (570hp->80hp). But nonetheless, it's a great engine! Thanks for the video. Loved it!
458 italia kicks ass. simple as that, smoking tire-you guys mkae great reviews. keep it up!
458 italia kicks ass. simple as that, smoking tire-you guys make great reviews. keep it up!
man ur a dumbass. i was not comparing a camaro to a ferrari. the man asked what a good car to modify would be. matt said that modifying is nearly pointless. so i gave my 2 cents on a car to modify. thats all. in no way could a regular camaro be as good as this ferrari. but on a track my modified camaro has taken more than just ferraris. please take your pathetic and rude comments somewhere else. id give you the reward for most careless comment ive ever seen.
Oh but you were. " A modded camaro has all the goods this ferrari has and more" lol Your camaro may be fast but at the end of the day it's just a camaro. Made on an assembly line with 2nd rate materials. A ferrari on the other hand is hand made with only the finest materials and highest craftsmanship in the world which you can see and feel. From a pure driving experience, it's not even close. Ask Matt, he'll tell you. Please don't compare a Camaro to a Ferrari OK?
What a sound!
You should see how they build these cars. They are like mad scientists. It's incredible how light the material is.
every time they mic the exhaust, i came a little...
no ferrari driver listens to a radio.....engine sound is music to ears...
great review and great car!! The 458 is definitely one of my favorite supercars!
hey gentle man!! that car is god like how dare u treat it like this
The engine sounds just orgasmic
As AWESOME as the 430 Scuderia is, this car eats it for brunch!
The car is owned by Noah at Gotham Dream Cars, it even has a yellow sticker on the front windshield :) Great crew, great cars!
Those lightening sequential shifts are nice, but I would still prefer the gated stick shift... I've always wanted to drive one of those. Then again, I suppose you can never shift as fast as a computer. I feel like the clutch pedal is going to be a thing of the past pretty soon, sadly. You should have noted the funky turn signals on it, aren't they buttons on the steering wheel?
Ive had the privilege of driving this car from Ferrari/Maserati Quebec and all I have to say is, I found myself contemplating the consequences of not returning back to dealer. It was that good. Noise? Perfect. Power? Unbelievable. Beauty? Like a goddess. Ive never turned so many heads before. It's almost embarrassing until you remember what your driving! I have ONE complaint about this car. The turn signals. They're on the steering wheel and its very annoying in city driving. Amazing car.
"Money can't buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Ferrari". Words of wisdom.
dont get me wrong ferarris are great. beautiful, fast, sound amazing you get the picture. but who the hell can afford it? ... seriously?!?! a working man can buy a nice vette or BMW or merc but who is making ferarri money and please tell me where I can meet their daughters!
Michael Schumacher had a BIG part in developing this car...it shows! Great car
Forget the I-pod-- just listen to the engine!
sweet car... but so damn expensive...
the brake preloading thing is not an invention. it just a good idea.
One of the best-looking Ferrari's since the 308... I LOVE it! You'd think Enzo himself designed it so many years ago, to be unveiled now! Too bad the Ferrari FF looks horrible..
Nice car, but I just love the Ferrari Fxx.
that car sounds awesome
As far as engineering goes I'd rather have the Ferrari. My brother said the R8 is great but feels a little tame unless you throw it around so I'm sure the Ferrari is a more visceral experience. But I'm not a fan of those flappy paddle F1 style transmissions. They're fast but I like to row through gears and I think this car is pretty ugly when you compare it to the beautiful F430. And with the Audi being way cheaper and better looking I'd probably go with it. But a Scuderia over both!
None of what you say make sense!!! Even a child can see the 458 Italia is way better looking than the F430! And I saw the the Audi R8 V10 at the Detroit Auto Show, and thought it was extremely beautiful. But the 458 still looks better. And in every car comparison test that has been done with these cars, the reviewers always say the 458 Italia looks best. The only sports car that i can think of that probably looks as good, or perhaps better than the 458 is the Alfa Romeo 8C.
Cont'd. But then again, you are entitled to your opinion. And I would agree with you in going with the R8. I think it is the better car as a daily driver, and does not cost nearly as much to service as does the Ferrari. But, in my opinion, it is a very beautiful car that is still not as beautiful as the Ferrari 458 Italia.
Good God....that exhaust is....just wow...GREATEST EVER!!!!
@Gabriel34534 Yeah, but the GTR cannot stir your soul like a Ferrari! Not even close.
"while i was trying to make a left turn. it had WHOAH THAT'S A SQUIRREL!" hahah that was really funny xD awesome car and nice review! I'm so jealous of the people in my neighborhood, i see a lot of really awesome exotics here and i some guy just bought this same car last week. I see him drive it down my street occasionally
I've always enjoyed driving or riding anything that requires a helmet. This is certainly an exceptional piece of engineering, but I think I'd rather rent or buy a new generation Ariel Atom. Or a Lotus 2/11 even though it's not as fast. Or any home built track car.
@madjh8 funny part is the ferrari is only a v8 and is great and lambos car will get beat when the enzo replacment comes out
Love the 458 <3
Who need a radio with that engine? Its the best soundtrack on earth! thats just awesome
Hmm gotham dream cars......Rob let you take it out? Nice!
the sound of that car ö beautiful ..
Good things come little by little , so is great when they come by a lot like in this car and the prices are huge , but for this car offers are really small .
God that car sounds great
Beautiful car
From 0 to Boner in 2.1 Seconds
Well i'm not so sure about that !! Of course the aventador has much more power but i'm talking about fun. I'm pretty sure that you can get much more fun with the ferrari ones. I haven't tried yet but i think a test is required ! And btw the 458 Italia is also a nuclear bomb with wheels =) hahaha
I know this car as Mirage/Dino in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, and I must say, it is quite badass!
The 458's sound is totally orgasmic!
This car is sooo bonerville.
The sound! jezus! And it shifts so freaking fast!
theyre pretty even but actually 458 is a little quicker
That is the sexiest Ferrari ever.
such a beautiful car
im sorry but you cant compare a datsun to a ferrari...its fast and cheap but its not even a true drivers car...people who buy ferraris arent because they wanna save money and be faster than the next guy, they buy it for the experience, and a lot will tell you the experience is priceless..
No way an sls beats a 458! Slower to sixty and can't touch the top speed. Rides like a truck and the doors are just dumb.
The doors are an homage to the old gullwing. They are NOT dumb. I do prefer the 458 as well, though.
new favorite card in the world period.
This is the best engine sound ever!!! 0:46
I saw one of these on the road today. It was awesome.
As I've never seen or heard this car in real life, I had never liked the sound this car makes until I watched this video just now.
This is my dream car right here. Not a car in the world I would take over this!
I once commented on this car for it's lack of Audio. Someone responded that you do not need a radio when you have that awesome engine sound. I don't know about you but I tired of listening to the same tunes over and over.
0:46 - 0:56 actually raises the hair on the back of my neck..i love that car
the radio is on the right hand side were the speedometer is at, you got to turn it on through the menu the c.d player is in the dash bored. im ony 14 and figured that out, <3 ferrari 458!
best fucking ferrari of our generation
Anyone who even thinks about having a radio in a Ferrari does not deserve one... all you need to hear is the beautiful symphony of the engine
It has a stereo, but If I had one of these it wouldn't ever be used even once. Anyone who buys a car like this to listen to any music other than the music coming from the engine is an idiot!
wow ferrari is amazing...it gives me passion to buy a car like that... O.O
beautiful car but for $246,000 its over priced a Dodge Viper is $97,000 and is quiet a bit faster around a track and in a strait line
spend 5 seconds sitting in a Viper and then 5 seconds sitting in a Ferrari 458 and you will immediately know the difference. Though I imagine, by your screen name, that I will never convince you a Viper isn't the best car ever.
This is my dream car
But at the same time coming from a Vette guy like you, Matt, that's not surprising to hear either. The interior may not be up to par but the performance is all there and the ACR smokes every Vette on the Nurburgring. (Along with every Ferrari and Lamborghini)
I'll stick with my GT-R, Ferrari cars are nice but too damn expensive.
viper's are nice , but there's nothing like a 458 and it's beauty,sound and of course looks.
so you are saying that if someone offered you a Ferrari 458 or a Dodge Viper for free to YOUR election, you would choose the Viper?? because if you do, you have some serious mental problems!!!
dude first the ferrari has other things like handling thats much surpasses the viper and other is because of its heritage i would rather drive a ferrai than a dodge
wow... love this car... dear santa
Stop being too hard on the guy...as much as I love Ferraris as the next guy, I have great respect for the guy than drive the viper very fast...keep in mind, the ferrari has ALOT of tech aids that can make driving VERY easy, the viper has none of those,everything depends on how well the driver can drive the car...in my book, i would rather have awesome driving skills over a ferrari any day..
"Ferrari is more likely to get stolen than a Viper" Sad excuse for buying a cheap junk Viper. "new 2013 SRT Viper is a way better car" Aham... and I'm the tooth fairy. Americans have no idea what a super car is or how to build one. The only thing they know is how to put a 1000hp engine that eats up 1l/km into bulky old pieces of junk and they think there's no better then that. The fealing you get in a european sports cars lays the american auto mobile industry to waste. lol
People on here bitch about the dumbest things. If you don't like the car, don't buy it. If you like the Viper more, get one and enjoy it. Who cares which one you think is best. They're all great cars. You can like them all without picking a side. If you don't own or can afford any of these great cars, then sit down and be quiet!
you sir are an idiot,Viper's can go around a track faster than a 458'well the ACR can, you would take a 458 over a Viper because you have little driving skill,people that drive 4th Gen Viper's are always looked at by people that know cars,and they will say"that guys got skill driving that thing"they look at a 458 and just say"cool"real American car guys dont want a computer controlled car they want themselves driving it
IF you can't appreciate a 458 there's something wrong with your brain, and I say that as a motorcyclist who believe me appreciates involvement and engagement
clearly you did not see that i said"its beautiful car but its over priced"
doge vipers are just a big heavy hunk of metal. this ferrari is... well, A FERRARI !!!
i would give both my testicles for that beuty
I only mention the brakes working in a similar fashion because Matt was apparently told that Ferrari "invented" that technology. FWIW, I don't think ANY BMW can stand toe to toe with a Ferrari. The 458 is disgustingly badass in every way (except the dash layout, which is sort of ugly).
F40 ! F50 ! ENZO ! 458 ITALIA ! 599 GTO !
Thank you so much. I love Ferrari, espescialy F458 n 458 spider
When it comes to a price tag, most of the time it is all about Numbers. I was giving a comparison to show the people who can't afford this which is like 95% of the population of the world. I even stated that i love this car, and now i will add that if i had the money i would buy it rather than the bike.
this is an awesome awesome car but i just hate that steering wheel!! imo thats literally the only flaw
I would love too, and a Bugatti and a McLaren F1 and some Lamorghinis... but I'm pretty confident that's not gonna happen. :(
i love 458 it ! but the best is the ENZO .
Not bad, but not as sexy as Testarossa
The most beautiful car out there right now.
Honestly, this car is absolutely gorgeous. Mr Enzo can be proud. I just love this car, cool video.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! 12 mpg city 18 hwy!?!?!?! Sure having a Ferrari would be a great bragging right, and it has immense speeds. But that mileage for that price is ridiculous!!!! Especially if this thing doesn't have a radio!
18 mpg? thats better than my minivan
Nice car, obese human. Lose some weight bro.
I almost cried when I saw that car. So beautiful. What does this mean?
This is my dream car!
I'm not a car enthusiast, but I love the sound of this car. I prefer the way she looks in black, but red works. I think I'd have a coronary driving around a car with a sticker price like that; hence I'll stick with bikes.
Fuck the Radio ahah the sound of the car is music to my ears ahah
The wail from the engine is even "OH...MY...GOD" -spine-tingling through my crappy cellphone speaker(s)! I like it -dare I say- more than the noise from most of the modern Ferrari V12's these days. The reviewer gets on my nerves almost immediately and I doubt he has any real driving skill, but I must have this car at some point in my life.
I own one...best car
LOL. Was thinking same thing. Supposed to close it gently and then push it down firmly till it clicks. This is not American muscle. It's Italian finesse.
its Italian engineering, which, for cars, is probably the best in the world, it'll be fine
the video and this amazing ferrari was ruined by this fat american test driver. No elegance, no class, go to drive bus and camions, not an elegant super car like this italian
AMERICA'S FINEST MOTORCYLE - INDIAN
Fantastic! This video is Great! I am fan for the Indian Motorcycle, Finest Handmade !
i love indians
if this doen not bring a tear to your eye as a bike fan nothing will, just brilliant to SEEEEE!!!!i want 1!!
Awesome video!! I love those old Indian bikes.
I rode a scout in liverpool England in 1968 it was on a scrap heap, me and my brother got it for 50 pounds, it started first kick after god knows how long, we cleaned it up and the raced it on the sand for years before selling her of for a good profit , yeah love Indians , thanks.
Started with the first kick after God knows how long... We don't hear that anymore with the newer bikes, Do we?
INDIAN - America's finest and first motorcycle
omg i love bugattis
Kawasaki forever!
also was motortrends COTY
What a machine. Hopefully they will get more power, along the lines of having a supercharged Sport or Full-Size. There are always we who enjoy having the superpowered Landies. God, I love mine.
Looks great, but unpractical
i think this is the most beautiful car of her class,love it.But the coupe tipe it's a little bit difficult to handle because in some cases the driver have to get out of the car
i like the car but its too slow ,if they made it a v8 ,it will be a Different Story.
a yes the only concern I have when buying a new car how many cup holders are there? and whats the movement like on the sun visor!! too picky lads. great car but a bloke could never get one he'd be an automatic ponce!
i love this car
I love it, hottest car on the road
Looks amazing, but it's pricey for a small SUV! Friendly advice: Your wife would probably trade you for one of these, so if you can afford it, buy one for her ASAP. This way you'll save you marriage, keep the girl and drive the car in the weekends. Good strategy, Land Rover!
one of the best looking 4x4 i have ever seen
Nope. I've driven Land Rovers/Range Rovers since 2001 nearly everyday, and I can tell you this vehicle is awesome. Especially cool to have while we wait for the next Range Rover. I can see how this thing isn't for everyone though. Come to think of it, that's probably why I like the marque.
It's way too expensive for this class. Sure it looks nice and everything but I'd rather buy an M class or an X5 or a Q7
cheap price!
Very nice car but not balanced enough to be mass purchased in Europe. It will lose to its German rivals because of that.
this is far better than its rivals
this car is so SEXY!!
range rover is best car 4x4 I liked
I love this car. It looks soo badass. Even better in person.
It was also Motor trends suv of the year...
When mercedes and bmw and audi bring their new small coupe like 4x4's out, this car will be unimportant (x2, new glk or blk, q1 / q2). The engines and build quality will be much better, and they will be cheaper too, or the same price but with a much higher spec, with some models touching about 60mpg - real economy. And the residuals will be higher. Still great looking car! But too expensive and bad economy / quite slow.
I'm really starting to like this car. Great review!
<3 this car
I love this car!
its not ugly crazy, that is just your opinion.
i'm so crazy watching this car.. i want this car badly..!!!
my older sister got one is is so awesome!!!
if it had the engine of the 2009 range rover the V8 supercharged almost like 400 BHP tht would have been nice the front of the car looks nice but the rear doesn't
my little brother had one I like it but not like my M5 BMW 2012 ;)
It's a credible alternative to 'ze' Germans!
I just don't think a BMW 3 series customer is the same as a Volvo S60 customer, so the S60 not being as sporting is an invalid point in my opinion.
decent car. Good competition for the fucking germans.
The S60 is a great looking car, sort of, I-WANT-THAT-CAR thing! Swedish Pride!
Seriously, how often does a pedestrian just magically appear in front of your car? It's a nice feature, but doesn't seem....practical.
If you've got the money sure!! It's a good way to stand out and and in terms of driving proformance it goes 1)BMW 3 Series, 2)Volvo S60, and a close 3) Audi A4, and lastly 4)Mercedes C-Class. I've driven them and it's really good.
this new s60 is very impressive. seems to be a massive improvement over the old one. although i can appreciate Volvo's emphasis on active safety features, i wish they would divert some more of that effort into enhancing the sporty character of the car. the s60 seems to have great potential. maybe when the R version comes out....? also, i think the guy who's doing the review is pretty darn hot.
This car is really amazing. Here you can find an S60 Unlimited Naughty competition video: youtube.com/watch?v=2ZHIpb8e2gA
I would really prefer the volvo from that Japanese SHITS that call themselves as "premium" They are designed with a ruler and a pencil, so style no reason for elements in design (everything in a Volvo is there for an specific reason) not just a little square or triangle where the designer in his very personal opinion likes it. The dashboard is completely perfect (I disagree with the reviewer in that point), I just hate the circles for the AC exits and the trunk if its not perfect its just OK
it`s silent, it`s good... naughty buy safe... Share the volvo S60 experience. look for Mihai Jitianu si Volvo S60
it`s silent, it`s good... naughty buy safe... Share the volvo S60 experience. look for Mihai Jitianu si Volvo S60
I admire volvo.
VOLVO FOR LIFE
Haha good luck! I have a Volvo S80 V8... :D HAHAHA YOU MAN ARE FAIL, YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT? IN FACT YOU WILL DIE IF I HIT YOU WHIT MY VOLVO S80 V8 AND I WONT...YOU DON'T REMEMBER? VOLVO IS THE SAFEST CAR IN THE WORLD. lol I own you man, and your gay BMW! ...lol
and im sure that you didn't get the picture of safety comes first, well, you'll get that picture when you crash in your m3 and hopefully you'll live after that so you can buy a safe car....A VOLVO ;)
.....sWeeeDen :)
Indeed a very good car. If you wanna see a real incident, search on youtube Valentin Ionut Panea or hit /watch?v=EAMfsppnET8
I really love this car. I cant wait to see the S40 redesign. I think this guy is a really great reviewer.
in quite safe cars like this your heart rate will be lower so you will live longer :)
in quite safe cars like this your heart rate will be lower so you will live longer :)
Volvos are much nicer than Mercs, they just need to work out the kinks.
s60 is a really nice car to drive so comfortable.
I like the s60 but I can´t understand why they made it so thin!! if they had made it wider it would have had more, and much needed space inside and it would have looked sportier from the outside. It looks a bit weird from bihind. like somebody put it in a vice or something!
everybody and their brother has a BMW in the U.S. I like the the fact that volvo is an unsung hero with a car that costs less and is just as fun to drive.
The exterior of this car looks awesome, better than the 3 series and the C class, those split in two headlights are great.
Damn this new S60 looks so good. it beats audi A4, BMW 3 series, and Mercedez C class, Acura TL, in my opinion
It really does, at least the BMW 3 series and the Audi A4. I drove all three cars before buying and for the price, safety and comfort I chose the S60.
the interior and exterior ( except the design of rear lamps ) ar very stylish......if I had enough money this car it would be one of the cars that I would buy it .......
DO LIKE FORD: BUY VOLVO!
someone could get drunk and drive safely in this
cute car..cute guy
Ghetto people? They don't drive cars like this.. they drive those stupid Escalades.
Volvo amazing !!
A Volvo not as desireable as a Mercedes when you care about image? The strong point of a Volvo is it's image! It suits everybody without giving you an image that you don't want. We all know what image a BMW gives you, and that isn't a very desireable image to me...Volvo is more about discrete style, BMW is about showing off style.
you really cant even compare them because they aren't even in the same price range. You spend 25k on a Volvo and 25k on a BMW or Mercedes which one do you think will be better? for 15k you can get a Volvo s60 r evolve that has 480 horsepower STOCK. pretty sure its gonna be VERY engaging to drive.
this car is my dream but i am from slovakia, where dreams stay dreams :(
I'm in the market for a new car (replacing a BMW 3 series) and I'm intrigued by this car. The relative comfort of the drivers' seat always struck me as extremely underrated. Let's be honest, here in the States' we spend a lot of time just going in a straight line on an interstate, or, unfortunately, just sitting in traffic.
Grill and headlights are stolen from new Mercedes E class so it must look good
Another great review. Great looking car the inside looks beautiful. Only thing I don't like is the electronic handbrake. Drove hire car recently and couldn't get used to it but worst is trying to a hill start . I usually hold the car on the hand brake slighlty to set off. You can't do this on electronic as its either on or off -you role back. More & more cars are getting them & that's why people have taken to using their foot brake to blind you at the lights. Moan over - its still a great car!
I'm sure you are right. The hire car was a Vauxhall and didn't seem to have but didn't have for long. The interior of that Volvo looks amazing. By the way if they sack Clarkson, Mat should have his job!
Okay, I hate when people think that German cars are so amazing! I mean they are good (most of the time) but a few years ago bmw and audi were having serious quality problems and the fact that he said that this was a good alternative to German car pissed me off. Volvos are just as good if not better!. thumbs up if you agree!
Meh. I don't agree. Volvo is different than the German cars. IMO, it's cleaner and more svelt. Very "spartan," if you will. Personally, I prefer Volvo because of that. It's luxury is it's sveltiness, whilst the German autos' luxury is their luxury.
But, for me, Volvo's are the only way to go. Volvo for Life.
I can forgive the smaller trunk easily because it has a decent size and the car is very nice, sporty looking and its interior is superior to its rivals and theres very good engines
Volvo's have an understated elegance to them, in my opinion. Kind of like an Apple product. There's nothing particular exciting about either product, and that's the appeal (to me). Clean. Svelte.
Volve has been doing a great job with the styling of its new cars.
I think this car is pretty sexy to be honest, I really like it.
my dad has this car and believe me, the seats are one of the most comfortable ever
I love this car!
Love this car in every single way!
This one has the wrong wheels and the stupid body kit things. It looks great with the T6 18s and without the silver things. However, as the owner of a 2004 S60R, I agree. The old one did look a bit better.
it is true, in the Netherlands Volvo's won't hold there value as most german cars but that sad, i'm a mercedes fan but I think that if I had to buy a car whit my one money I would buy a Volvo
S60 is positioned in an upper class as an opponent for Passat. And from my view s60 beats passat. So I will say it will crush Jetta.
i had an audi a4 and it was terrible, the air conditioning only worked occasionally, the turbo blew out, the starter motor stopped working, the electrics went mad, that car was hideous on reliability, I decided to change it for an S60, but in the dealer they got us convinced to take an XC-90, definitely better an more reliable than the audi, It lasted 6 years with not a single failure, and unpunctual service history, while the audi with its perfect record was shit so I prefer volvo over germans
the steering is very sharp but still feels a bit numb.. please, dont try to make downsides where there isnt, the Volvo is a perfect alternative to bmw or audi or merc. Audis are all the same design, bmws fail after 50km, mercs are to taxi.
I agree. The V60 however, is simply stunning.
Volvo and Lexus hold their own might, over the common Germans - Audi's are all the same and boring, BMW are fun to drive but not reliable, Mercedes are abit well dull and taxi'fied
Completely agree. Volvo's are awesome
It's weird that he said this car has numb steering. I've been reading reviews and I even own one and the steering is very sharp, far from numb, that's what everyone's been saying as well, that it has sharp steering
I have a new S60 R-Design and the car is awesome!
the c class and BMW 328 are to played out Volvo for ever
...or try some years later a V40, which I won´t, since I just traded an A3 Sportback, nice car, but didn´t liked it after months. Small car, very nervous at high speeds, a very "nervous " ABS system, and couldn´t get over the fact it was a hatchback. More of a sedan guy. Just feel it is a pity someday I´ll have to upgrade to an S60. Don´t dislike the style, but I really enjoy how the S40 looks. Sigh.
Nobody wants to place a corpse in the trunk! That's quite spacious!
awesome work, cheers Mclaren and Mercedes
brilliant video! ferrari fans - notice how neither of them tried to make it look like the other one was cheating;) MCLAREN FOREVER!
Ferrari have a history of throwing their toys out of the pram when things are not to their satisfaction. VIVA LEWIS HAMILTON & MCLAREN !!!
shut the fuk up...runnin mclaren down wtf gt real the lot of ya ferrari were just as guilty!!! mclaren all the way
I love my Mercedes too, best ride going! Thanks Mercedes! Love, Spygirl Internationl
i love mazdas!
Well.. maybe it's not the best looking Car. But it's a damn good looking Car ;) Would love to have one of those <3
trusty mazda : )
I love my RX-8! It's so fun to drive! But I will admit that it isn't the best in severe weather, the tires are too wide and shallow for it.
the seven looked much better though.. he has a good point about mixing angles and curves like it does...I still like it though
Great car, i own one, best one i ever had!!!
i agree with him halfway...the front's not that attractive..but the back and headlights are sick.. lol
my bitch has one. a car of that capability is quite frankly wasted on her.
sik car
what a fuckin clown. first he says its the best car hes driven this year. then when hes around all these "wankers" he says 'i was lying' then ends it from a negative standpoint. what a douchebag. that cars better than any british piece of shit out there.
that's a sexy car... gosh will i ever get a car like that. Will i ever get a car period?
wtf are u talking about its a gd car yeh but not better than any british cars
i actually liked the looks of this car :( oh well jeremy...you're still unbelievably(sp?) funny...
230bhp out of 1.3litres engine thats amazing, pity the fuel consumption lol. i had a mondeo st200 with 202bhp out of a 2.5v6 engine and that did 27mpg, i expect the road tax was is on the higher bracket as well cant see any advange of a small high power engine that drinks petrol, mind you great fun to race around an air field doing wheel spins with tyres costing £95 each
It's only about torque if you want it to be about torque. Granted most people do, but not everyone. This car is quick enough for the street if you drive it in the RPM band where it's happy (i.e. 5000-9000 RPM).
the rx7 may have been quicker but by no means is it better than the genisis the 7 had horrendous heating issues the rx8 is better in every sense the handling of this car is as good as any thing out there and certainly better than the 7. and any of u looking to buy a new rx8 in the uk will have to do so within 3yrs as they wont be able to meet emission standards
strangly SuperskyLineZTune old son masda HAS cracked the rotor tip problems of the past! there rotor engines are very good lasting up to over 350,000 miles! and as it ONLY has 7(seven) moving parts,it's bound to be a LOT cheaper to fix! trouble is it does drink gas(petorl) like a fish and cant pass the us milage regs
They need to design and fit a nice Renesis 20B to fix those torque issues. Go the rotaries!
Nah. As much as i love the turbo power, i think that a nice N/A 20B renesis design would be a much better driving experience. Nothing beats the sound of a triple rotary mate ;) Bring back the essence of the old school rotary i say.
my friend has this, its really really nice i never really liked them and then i drove it
i like the look of these, they're better than the euro trash and spaceship designs they're giving cars these days
i love the rx-8 and after this vid i want it more^^
you should get it i own one and its simply amazing and everytime i get out of it the thing just calls me back
It's a very good car. I've had mine for 2yrs now and still enjoy it a great deal. No major issues in 26k miles and only one minor issue, (loose wiper blade) last week. Engine warranty 8yrs/100,000 miles.
the style is sexy but it should have a engine like rx-7..
i really like the RX-8 except i personally think they should of kept some of the styling of the 3rd gen RX-7 or better yet, RX-7 with the VeilSide body kit
Yo when i first looked at my buddies rx8 I thought what the fuck is this. Then I had to drive it 75 miles to north jersey. These cars are so much fun with the short throw shifter and tacking it to 8 or 9. This car is alot of fun.
Over at motorguru website this car was rated 8.5 out of 10. I think it deserves more but it seems like many people still has trouble accepting its look. Visually though it has improved a LOT form previous versions. in my opinion anyway.
2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 Exterior 8.0 Interior 7.7 Controls & instruments 7.5 Power handling 9.5 Cool factor 8.5 Fun to drive 10.0 Total 8.5 (not average) SOURCE: motorguru website
They're pretty awesome. It's almost like a Honda Civic on steroids.
Love the car, wish they would have put a bigger engine in it, but oh well, i just like it cause it looks sexy ^^
Yeah, however I agree, the car is made so well, it would be even more amazing with a more powerful engine. One of my favorite cars was the RX-7 stock. My favorite car is the RX-7 with a LS1 dropped in. :). Cheers mate.
How anyone can argue against Jeremy Clarkson that the RX-8 is a great car is beyond me.... This man drives wet dreams all the time and he's still happy to be in an RX-8 - says plenty about the experience of driving this Mazda.
Yeah there's good space in the back
Actually, the space in the back is way larger than you think. My friend's got a RX-8 and my other friends who's almost 2meter tall has no problem at all sitting in the back
completely different engine ;) its a rotary engine research it on google or something... its awesome
The engine sounds amazing. It's got to be thrilling to push it to the last RPMs to hear the engine's beautiful sound.
it looks amazing for the price tag
rotary engines are awesome. i even still like the 2nd gen (used to own one), although i always wished i had a 3rd gen - so sweet looking! (only thing is that i hear that 3rd gen is in the shop a lot?)
ive yet to try one, it looks very driveable and fun but i dont dare try the 2009 version just yet..it just looks like it'l eat you whole if you walk right up to it..
since i was 18 i have always wanted an r-x8 and i finally bought one about 2 months ago, and i have to say, I Love it.
This car is Amazing. And the design isn't that bad :) I don't like the small doors .... but its still sweet.
it is the most amazing car!!! I have one and love it!!!!!!!!!
Drove it today. I love it.
I hav one and i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv it!!!!
They last as long as a piston engine. Just take care of it. The reason the RX7 engines died so fast was due to people thrashing the engine and not caring for it. I love my rx8 plus women love it too. Always get stares and they want to sit in it. Can't beat that.
great car for that moneys
Yes and with no warning. One minute it runs like a top and the next its dead.
gotta love the sound of rotary engiens
most of all the rx8 its sound is just music i wonder how they do it
I remember the mazda RX8 from NFSU2! My favorite car!
every engine sounds good at 9,000 rpm
Beautiful Car, and amazing to drive.
yea, the rotaray engine is a beautiful idea. It takes a small engine and converts it to something as good as a 6 cylinder car but using two rotarys!
no torque. unless you go forced-induction. Beautiful handling and steering though.
i think it looks kinda cool, not great though
you are stupid f you buy this car. the rx8 is a nice looking car but it have a serious problem in the engine. as he was saying it have a wankel engine and what he doesn't know is that a wankel engine doesn't keep long time. it just a matter of time before you need to buy a new engine to your car. it just stupid to buy a car with a wankel engine. and when I say they doesn't keep long time I mean mabey 120.000 km before you need a new engine.
i got a mx5, and afther this, in 5-7 years, i might buy a rx8. just great cars to handle!
The way it sounds, the gearbox, the way the handling tells you well in advance, the way the rpm resonates so beautifully throughout the car, etc etc. I spent the last 2 months drifting it in the snow like a pro - only thanks to it's creamy power delivery. Oh, - and the doors, it's Something for those that like things a lil' unique. The later models addressed the issues of the early models posted here.
I agree, you are stupid if you buy this car, BUT, that's if you have no idea of how to maintain a rotary-powered vehicle. Generally modern engines are rebuilt at around 100-120km, NOT replaced. That's not too bad, really. If you manage to clock up that kind of mileage in a car as a thirsty as this in a short time frame then clearly fuel consumption is an irrelevant issue.
i have a 1988 rx7 that has the wankel engine and i have 198xxx miles on it and its never given me a problem.
Dont be ridiculous, my 2003 model is currently sitting on 176,000km and goes great so there goes your theory buddy!!
lol what not the prettiest car?I think it looks great.
I love this car, I want one, and everyone ive talked to about it says its fun to drive
this is a vry nice with a vry unique engine !! but terrible Fuel Consumption ~
lol man the sound is hideous... it's like a 50cc two stroke scooter's engine sound
I actually really like how it looks. but top gear is awesome!
RX8 You mean? The rotary makes use of what looks like a triangle in a cog wheel. It looks funny but it's mad quick. It's an imbalanced rotation in a circle that has gas injected into the circle. The compression and spark plugs shoot the triangle looking thing in a weird orbit inside the circle just to do it all over again. It's efficient sort of. It's able spin at high rpm's unlike a piston and puts out good horse power at a small size. They are faster than v8's in the right hands.
the best car ever made i want one!!!
This is definitely my next car to own. I currently own a 2000 Chrysler 300m and have been looking at getting a really nice car for when i join either the United States Navy or Marine Corps. This is one car that is a MUST have
The Racercar right? Nice Nice :) I know it is used in small planes allot because it is so smooth.
and there is less to go wrong and it's impossible to seize up and it's power-to-weight ratio is unbeatable by any piston engine and it's easy to rebuilt and so on. apart from jets with a hidious pricetag, you can't go better for a plane
yea it is a chick car, chick magnet car. Every girl that sees my car loves it and want to ride in it. As for slow, what are you comparing it too? I have beaten many cars including a dodge charger with the v6 and civic si and prelude. Its a matter of opinion not every car is for everyone but this one suits me. If I waant more power I will swap in a a three rotor twin turbo engine and make it faster than v8's.
thanx. I am going for the veilside body kit and esmeril turbo now. This car just has it all!
yessir you are right I really do like the sleeper look and the look on peoples faces as you cream them in a stock looking car. I am going for under the hood only. I would do the bodykit if I plan on putting it in a show. Great to hear someone else who apprecites a great machine.
At the end he blames it on the tires...that aint the rx8s fault...its the tire manufacturer...put on good tires (rain tires perhaps?) and there ya go...nuff said. Rx8 R3 FTW!!
I love this car so much. I bought one a year ago and its freaken amazing.
Thats what I also thought but he just said that because it was with the car.The whole package.But yeah,you can change the tires for sure.
the rx8 is a nice looking car and handles well, look like it would be a fun drive but its just too slow! I couldnt justify spending that much money on a sports car that cant break into 14s. I mean my v6 accord with the a MT can hit 14.5 stock, saw one go 13.9 with boltons. not saying the accord is a better car because its not, I just cant buy a sports car slower than my accord! if they had put the speed3 motor in the rx8 now that would be a sick ride. but the rx8s motor is pretty maxed out
why are you getting defensive homie? Im not talking shit on the rx8, I readily admit its a better car than my accord. I didnt buy my accord to compete with sports cars, I bought it because it was $11k and gets 30mpgs. being poor and in college it was the fastest economical car I could afford. Im just saying if I were buying a sports car Id have to get something faster. but Im more into ponycars with v8s. the rx8 is cool though pretty too
lol rx8 eats up oil and kills gas =], but the handling makes up for all of it
sorry dude that you wasted your money on Veilside, Brembo, JICs, 19" Volk 3pc with Toyo Proxys (no, Proxes)... but nobody laughs at a factory-stock looking RX8 that could smoke an EVO FQ400.... or the GT34R VSpec2. That's my point. I'm not dissing how the car should be, it's how the car should run. Veyron is ugly compared to the McLaren GTR, but since it's faster... everybody forgives how ugly it is.
which pony cars? even the slow ass RT challenger runs low 14s, last time I checked the rx8 was a 15 second car. the new camaro runs a 13 flat and the new stang runs 12.7. the rx8 is a good car but it cant hang with those three in the quarter but it should kill them on an autoX course. different builds with different goals
you might be right mate. anyway it's a fun car to drive atleast and I bet the mustang is also great fun ^^
- There is one thing I'd like to see in the Mustang, I'd like to see the colored seat inserts. However, the Mustang has the interior where the gages can change to something like 128 colors. The 2011 Mustang V6 is also 300 HP which is how powerful the old 4.6 V8 was. Ya, both the vehicles are probably fun to drive. I'm an American and prefer the styling of the Mustang.
this car gives me wet Dreams
accord isnt a sports car though, its fwd one its pretty heavy and kit was never made to be fast or sporty, it was made to be practical and reliable, and btw im not hting im actualy a honda fan, but stock hondas are not the way to go especialy with a fwd v6
RX8 is a practical and fun sports coupe with great handling abilities. It may not be the best or the fastest but it sure offers a lot of fun and excitement to the driver. Must really drive it to appreciate. Plus, it also appears in the recent NFS(Not Pursuit). Nice! :)
The Rx8 might not have as much power as cars like the mustang, but the power delivery does make it feel like car with more hp than it actually has. It is light and torque is evenly distributed throughout the rpm range and so it pulls up to 7500 rpm. It really is fast and if you watch the rest of this episode of top gear you will see that it laid down the same time as an M3 on the test track.
- What the RX-8 lacks is torque. It doesn't accelerate the best off the line. It takes that engine spinning up very high RPMs to really accelerate out of the corners. The saving grace of the RX-8 is its light weight and solid handling. Otherwise, the thing would lay down the time of a VW New Beetle.
Jeremy is absolutely correct @ 2:49 I just test drove a 2007 RX-8 an the smoothness of the power and ride is unbelievable. You really need to drive one to know what Im talking about. It may not be any supercharged powerhouse but its a great little sports car that you can actually enjoy in through your day to day life. The best part is that rotary engines actually love to be revved up (actually healthy for the engine) unlike conventional gasoline engines which is pretty cool.
WTF? not the prettiest? that car is beautiful.
i love to drive this car , at least in need for speed =D
Does he say "It's the master rx-8" or "It's the Mazda rx-8"? Very good car, I bought it 3 months ago...
rotary engine= no good, bad seals
my dream car
I have one, 75,800 miles still strong. all you have to really do is keep checking your oil and keep on top of your maintenances and your fine. only downfall is MPG -__- "a redline a day keeps the carbon away! :D" This is a car your suppose to drive like you stole it.
For the scrubs: Rotary engines are great engines! Just not for ignorant people. I think this car is gorgeous! And, man, do I love rotaries. MMMMMMMMMM YUS
Uh .. Rx-8 is my dream car, I'm just 17 atm but my dad offered me a deal. That is to bring good results this time and he'll buy me a RX8. I'm gone all crazy for it and watching all videos of it :) Ps this Top Gear guy makes fun of the car but then gets serious and then make fun. He makes me LAWL. But however, Rx8 is a perfect car for me ( As I am a beginner in sports car but a professional in normal hatch backs and sedans :) )
This car is legit, and CHEAP. Idk why everyone always bashes it?
not exactly the most beatiful car?? unsubscribed!!!
@icoopers really? I think the rotary engine kicks the shit out of any similar priced piston engine.
pointless comments I feel.. It's still a practical, unique and fun sports coupe to have.
When i first bought this car i was unprepared for the nay sayers which came out of the woodwork. People asked me why i didn't buy a Z and they would go on and on about the repairs or wankel problems or they would prod about the name wankel itself or the torque ratios. Truth is i have driven all of the comparable cars and have a long drive to and from work everyday (i have a 6 speed) and it's comfortable, reliable, and when you want it to respond aggressively it does.
that's your opinion but check 2007 CAR & DRIVER test rx8 beat nissan 350 ,audi tt & mustan shelby. har to belive mustang was 4th . I like mustangs v8 muscle & alot of power but rx8 i have to admit handling is terrific. in 2009 rx8 beat in handling vette & gtr. only handling .
rotary ftw!
I personally love the RX-8's looks...
yeh i like this car
Mazda Rx 8 Is amazing and anyone would like to drive that car
everyone i talked to says the harder you run them the longer they last. =) just bought one 5 days ago and it looks exzactly like the on in the video. amazing cars!
Awesome car but i chose the 2004 VW R32 :P
I love it now, but IMO it looks like a ladies car
They managed to make the styling even fussier when they redesigned it. The engine is great, lots of personality. But the body style really isn't attractive.
Its the best car of the year... as long as you put a good set of 600 dollar tires on it.
love this car ... have same in my garden .. :)
Just sold my 350z for this. Best decision =)
Rotary engines sound so unique. It's a shame it creates pitiful torque and and gulps fuel. Otherwise I think it would be a much more popular layout for engines.
front seets go back so far that u've got loads of space ;) np at all
Omg it doesn't have a 4 liter engine like faggot American cars. This thing is still fast.
Excellent car, and with mazda halting rotary production, possibly forever....pick one up. Fabulous car
This would be a great car to buy at a great price. It's also a very good drive because of the handles. Sure there's other faster cars, but the handles wont be as fine-tuned and they're more expensive, sometimes a bit more than what you should pay.
fuck in a bed homeless not in a pure and lovely car like this one
If these are so great, and they do look great, why are they selling for <£3000?!
I wondered that, I saw them for £3-4k on PH, thought to myself "Ahh, a cheap modifiable Jap car!"... Turns out you gotta have deep pockets if you wanna get decent power gains in these babies. That coupled with the fact they have fuel pump clogging and poor oil supply (pre-09), their reliability is questionable at best (google rx-8 apex seal). That said, they can be wonderful cars when treated right.
future classic for sure
i love the rx8
Fuck sake.... Those lights are the prettiest lights ever. HOW DARE YOU.
I really really do love this car. I'm driving one for about five months know and is absolutely great. Is really fun to drive, specially in tracks, it lacks a little bit of low end torque, but if you know how to shift that's not a problem... The reliability problem were corrected after the 2005 revision, mine's a 2009... So far, just perfect!!!
I fucking love these cars, I wish I had one. Best car ever.
He has shit taste if he doesn't think this car is beatiful.
looks like a very nice car, deciding on getting a 2004 rx8 or 2012 lancer gts
@ NIKKI- This car is awesome! We both need to get one! Turbo of course. -M.M.
nice solution,it isnot coupe. It's 4 door family saloon like Toyota carola!
This sexy car is like.. a sexy woman. Sexy, and high maintenance, extremely high.
Dad had one of these cars when I was 13 (now 18). Turned heads everywhere! He got one of the first production lines in 2004 so it was new to peoples eyes. More of a toy than for being practical. >22 mpg, high oil consumption, engine kept flooding, tires at £200 a piece, depreciated like a grand piano off a cliff. etc. etc. But he still said he never regrets owning it for 3 years. Thats what makes it a great car.
From the outside it doesn't look like much, its like a wanna be european car or something but when u sit inside holy wow its all about the driver. It feels like ur driving a super car, when you accelerate amazing power and sound. I use to have a 00 si, going from 45 in 6th gear in the rx8 feels like going 45 in 4th gear in the civic. I love the RX8 you get so much more 2 much to list, right now a 99 00 civic si cost MORE than a 04 RX8 haha people r clueless
its a sports car, so take mpg out of the equation. It has a perfect layout front engine, rwd, same engine size as a smart car but it is a completely different engine. this car fits like a glove. Drive it on twisty roads and you ll understand what i mean. Its not a high school boys wet dream like a typical wrx with the turbo so you can floor it at stop lights. This car challenges you to maintain your speed through corners . If you are passionate about a driving experience get his car. period
The rain is really a non issue, I'm not sure why he would mentioned that at the end of the video. Just take it easy in the rain. If you're really concerned get the model with Traction control. In North America only the GT model had traction control. Not sure about Europe. And with a 30 mile trip to work I would be more concerned about fuel costs...
it may be the best car, til the GT-R came out of no where.
my neighbour owns one , it just so amazing hearing it every day :) it makes my day better when i hear it
Totally agree. Everyone wants to drag race and my response is that I dont live a 1/4 mile at a time. I could drive mine forever and ever. and I love rotary engines even though they are kinda contrary. lol overall, best car made when it come to the overall experience!!!
love this car! my dads is a dope all black one...once its mine im gonna fix it up :)
not the prettyest car in the world... well its simple hes lying ;)
Obviously, since the RX-7 was in production for many years and this only 8 (odd lol)... ...but it's still fucking boss, just like the RX-7 :D
RX8-Fans. STOP watching on 5:04 :)
why does he complain about the look of the car with shitty jokes ? to me its a beautiful and agressive looking car !
and by that i mean... i do love this car and would love to own one
mazda, most UNDERated car maker in the world. the MX-5, RX-7 and RX-8 are just plain awesome.
what he doesn't understand is that the 'triangles' represent the rotary engine and that the four doors make it cheaper for insurance!
not "the prettiest car"? i wouldn't even care how fast my car is if my it looked like this one.
Watching this while looking out the window staring at her!! Not many 18yr olds have that priverlidge :)
mazda rx8 is the best car in the world ;)
rahhh i dont know what to do....i dont know whether to sell my 2002 civic type R and buy one of these?....ive had more people saying no than yes...apparently i shouldnt get one if i know nothing about rotary engines because they are a pain to look after? Ive only had my Type R for 5 months and i absolutely love EVERYTHING about it..but after noticing the price of these...im torn...thoughts?
Im beginning to like this car more and more... Im thinking in blue paint, fat white stripes in the middle.. you know like the Ford GT... and a rear spoiler... not that high.. stripes in them too... fat white double lines...
I Like The RX-8 Because it's Light and Has a Crunching torque while able to tackle turns or drift.
I see people talking about BMW and STI.. and I agree they are better car than the RX-8 but thing is that if you are a 20 year old kid like me who pays for his own stuffs and you gotta think about your insurance and your fuel and maintenance then I am pretty sure you are gonna go for the Mazda.. unless you are Richie Rich of course.
well Rotary engine is far more costly in terms of maintenance (since you have to change oil and stuff more often than the other) but i do agree on taking the Mazda, its just the best bargain for our money :)
I find this car very pretty
agreed. The Mazda 6 is just as fun to drive as well. I love driving her. even the 4 cylinder is fun to drive. Just like the RX-8, she's so forgiving when it comes to cornering.
The TG guys should have edited out the "best car" comment or at least added the "twitchy tyres" caveat.
21 here, minimum wage job and 2+ years into college. Trying to buy one from a friend, and man, I just wish I had more money. 8500 for a '06 with 60000 miles, and hardly anything is stock on it. It was built for racing. I want it so bad, just, insurance doubles from my car to his and holy shit, im not rich. I have dreamed of this car for years, I would sacrifice my left leg for it if I have to.
This Car is probably the purest Japanese car EVER!!!!
the only problem is... the engine is like an one year old baby.. u really have to care for it otherwise u will brake it.. i dont say it isnt durable, but u must care for it! so think twice if u can afford that.. when u can.. its an insane car
Save your money, get an S2K or Z instead, or if you're feeling really smart, a 4th gen LS1 fbody. Rotary motors are unique... and that's about it, other than that, its benefits are hard to perceive.
And believe it or not the 2.5 v6 mx6 too, I love it and it is a joy everytime I start it up :)
I like Porsches, BMWs, Mercedes, Lamborghinis, Ferraris ... But this is my personal dream car.
please google "Rx-7 Veilside", honestly, just look at this beast, and it's from 1991 ffs :P now imagine you could have it twin turbo charged until it spit fire @12.000rpm and still be under the price of a BMW... madness ? no, THIS IS MAZDA ! :P
well it use nearly as much oil as it use gaz and the engine is dead after 150.000km but when you see how dirt cheap it is honestly it's hardly a cons, you get a whole new engine for the same price as a big service from mercedes/bmw/audi...
I own one of these bad boys and Im very happy with it. Its got a few minor inherent issues that could be fixed easily. Message me if you plan to buy one and want an owner's opinion. Overall, one of the most fun cars you will ever drive.
Have 04 rx8 (231) for almost 2 months,fuel consumption is high,but oil is nowhere as bad as people say,the only issue I've found is that no one will race you at the lights! :) all in all great car.
I have an RX-8 myself. God it's fun to drive.
I own a 08 GT RX-8 and hands down it the best handling car I have driven, this car just goes where I place it, on top of that the oil and fuel consumption is not as bad as they say and I live in NY...
Great car. It really does handle like a dream!
Slightly less fuel economy than average in its class (like 1.5mpg less) ... I've owned one for years and have never had to add oil to it accept for the regular scheduled oil changes. So no, not very fuel thirsty, and not oil thirsty at all.
i like the rx8 but as far as ive searched there are a lot of engine failures.
Im not giving false info My dad's 2004 RX8 did 17mpg combined,while a 2005 E...Oh shit,now I see my mistake :p I meant E55 AMG,sorry But still,17mpg is a lot for a car with RX8's specs!
Only on vehicles that have not been maintained properly or improperly modified. Rotary engines have been used in many different aircraft historically because of their great reliability.
I find I get about 17-18 mpg from my rx8 on average driving around town, on the highway I get closer to 22-23mpg. Not the best but its comparable fuel economy to cars like the G35 coupe and the Mustang GT.
I want this car SO FREAKING MUCH, I would choose it over anything. I started loving it from Need For Speed Underground 2 lol
I got my hands on a 2010 RX8 R3 edition with no miles on it. So far I absolutely love the the car, its got a few quirks, but nothing major. If you take good care of it and amazing handling is something you want in a car, you can't go wrong with a good condition RX8!
At no point did I say the RX8 was better than an EVO. You must talk to a lot of really immature people with how many assumptions you have! I can't stand when someone like you comments on a car so negatively then names someone who called you on your bullshit a "fan boy"! With that I test drove a new EVO before buying my car and it was great, not as pleasurable for me as the RX8, but still a great car.
Fair enough ... but your bullshit was: (a very "fragile" car) not true. (shit performance) also untrue. (had to warm up the engine forever) 1-2min warm up is not long, so again not true. You rant(bullshit) about a car that a lot of people love. If you didn't like it that doesn't mean its a bad car, it just means you don't like putting a little oil in once in a while!
Hey guy wtf are you arguing about? just stfu man u look like an idiot. Its not hard to see the Evolution is a way better car than the rx8. I think the rx8 looks cool but its not in the same league as an Evolution. if you love the rotary engines trade your car for an rx7 then you can fight an Evolution and maybe win.
Yep, with the few thousand I invested in upping the torque on my RX8 I have outrun a stock Evo on the track, keeping in mind that my car costs way less then a Evo. But at the same time I was outrun by a mildly modified one. It's a toss up, spend more money and get more speed, plain and simple. Half of what you said were not opinions, they were statements! If you don't want to get called out on what you say, don't post!
I'm not going to argue with you about the Evo because I can't win that argument. Out of the box the Evo is faster but you will pay a lot more money for the car, the RX8 on the other hand is bought for the experience not for the tech specs! A mid pipe, cold air intake, and AccessPORT cost a grand total of 1k and gained me 30+ ft. lbs... a seriously noticeable difference in the RX8 and did allow me to outrun a 09 Evo on a tight track. Doesn't mean the RX8 is better, but pretty cool none the less.
I'm 6' and I have plenty of room in the drivers seat, and I've fit a guy who was 6'2 in behind me. I had to move forward a bit, and he was a little cramped, but he fit for the short trip we were taking. Most people fit fine in the back.
the perfect world is when you have an RX 8 as your DD, an RX 7 FD as your weekend warrior, and a Mazda speed 6 as your family car. I am half way there with an RX 7 FD, an RX 7 FC, and a Mazda 6 S. Now sell the FC to an RX 8 and trade in 6 for a speed 6. Let''s make this happen! god I love Mazdas, I think I am going to change my last name to Mazda.
The perfect car : Not so huge taxes (In Latvia),4 Seats,Awesome interior,Fun to drive,Fast, Cheap. But is it cheap to maintain?
Rotary engines are so interesting.. 1.3L.. Bloody hell.
Its à good car for à stig guy
I quite like the way this car looks...
great looking car, great handling, worst gas mileage ever
great car
ummm...in fact rear seats are not so bad. There's lots of space but "it looks like" there is not. Seats are deep so even mature person can sit there with no problems. But yes, it would work for short distance not for trips.
if Clarkson did like it, thats more than enough.
gas mileage isn't that bad, 25 highway for the manual. Just make sure you keep oil in it regularly and you shouldn't have too many problems. As with any car, if you warm it up it'll do better, but it's not necessary every time. Same goes for the cool down. Rotary is a turnoff for many people, but it's fine honestly. It'll be worth getting, it's an awesome car.
From what I've seen so far the interior and exterior are in great condition. Idk about under the hood though. I'm no expert and will probably have someone look under the hood for me.
woah dude i think the rx8 is nice but thats just crazy haha
I bought a 2004 RX-8 in feb and I really love the car it has been really reliable and its a everyday driver. The gas mileage can be frustrating however not so bad with highway miles and smart shifting. As far as cooling the engine down before turning off the car , the 8 has a built in fan that blows when the car is off especially in extreme heat. Not a good car to buy new when it still was in production but great used.
RX-8s are fun,fast, and in my opinion very nice looking cars for the price. i have a 2004 and a 2011 and they are both in great running condition. Fact is they are expensive when it comes to keeping them up and fueling them, but if they are properly maintained they last for ages.
fyi if your planning on getting one im assuming cuz your asking about the engine dont buy an intake for it you wont get any gains it has one of the most technologically advanced intakes out there, a vdi which means variable dynamic intake, it changes the length of the intake depending on what rpm your at holding torque from 3500rpms all the way to 8500
Nah they don't have engine problems i mean yes u gotta check ur oil after every two fill ups (with the manual) idk if u have to do the same thing with the automatic. I am going to buy my friends rx8 and he has no problems with it at all. It sucks up gas like a motherfucker but in the end driving an rx8 is worth it.
I don't care what anyone says this car is good. Nothing wrong with mine an its a 2005. Brought it brand new an still going with no issues. You just have to take care of it.
dunno why this is spammed, that potential buyers guide thins the flock of idiots ruining these good cars.
If you brag about how powerful the "1.3" is, you must also mention how much it likes petrol. Friend of mine didn't even get 20mpg in his Rx8...I'm not anti Mazda I dd a mx5 btw. If you don't mind terrible economy then the Rx8 is awesome. My 91 1/2 ton 2wd 5.7 chevy truck gets right at 17mpg....got 19mpg over a 500 mile trip trying to conserve with 320k and it's never had a valve cover pulled.
WTF? How is the RX not a beautiful car? Better looking than most of the 100k+ Ferraris...
"Not the prettiest car in the world?" I beg to differ, The Rx 8 is a beautiful car i love them <3 i can't wait to buy my friends
Why am I watching this video when I can ride mine lol??? I love my Rx-8
i have a 2006 rx8 231 and it is simply amazing to drive as it handles so well and is super comfortable!! its had bad stick about the mpg but its better than the 350z that everyone loves and the best part is its so good looking it makes you happy just looking at it so your happy even when its not using fuel.........happiness with no fuel used atoll :)
i get 24mpg driving around town with the occasional blast on the back roads. its not much worse than what friends of mine get who have a civic type r and an astra vxr with the same type of usage :) just the car costs half as much as them and is a whole lot sexier!!!
This is my first car and I just fell in love with it. Like really I wouldn't want anything else.
not the prettiest car? i'd say out of most cars its one of the best looking id love an rx8 but still i want the rx7 i dont have kids and that car is more my thing :D
He says it is a very forgiving car and one of the easiest to drive. On wet roads yes a lot of cars may be a bit skittish.
i love my 2004 RX-8
I liked the car too, I drove it on a public track during a test drive (if you get my drift ;D heh...drift...) but seriously, it has all the lag without the turbo. Great for hard driving, but the second you drive it like a sane person it feels so slow. You guys should really go look at it's torque curve. I've also grown very tires of the engine sound.
work in a mazda dealership and i driven these cars then are f*ck fun to drive :D
Alright I'm pretty sure everyone who watched this video and is watching this video either already has an RX-8 or will be getting one very soon. I got mine about a month ago under salvage title and it runs superb. Very sexy car and great performance.
Nice video for best car!!!
bye bye aventador
man i am in love with this car.
I've been in love with these cars for two years
german engineering mixed with french desing, just great!
german engineering mixed with french desng, just great!
The Best car in the world :) i love it :) but not have money for bay this car hahaha i driving Opel Kadett GSi 2.0 250 ps :)
hey the super sport is the final model but why they making the new model of this new bugatti veyron grand sport vitesse and i more like the rims from super sport :3
This is the only car I wanna buy.
1.5 million very nice but i buy a boat LOL
what an amazing spot! I definitely love it... love the sound... love the Ampera.
Great job on all of these srt-8 reviews steve, and i really hope you get to do the jeep too, as it looks to be a beast as well.
Chrysler sometimes implies that it tries to give off a Mercedes-Benz quality car for a lower price. In other words, a poor mans Mercedes. Would you say this is accurate? Also, You make the Chrysler 300 SRT8 sound very refined and powerful. How closely do the two cars compare in Luxury and Performance? On a side note, the Chrysler 300 is a very stylish American car. :)
I do have to say....that is a really nice looking car. Feels weird saying that about a Chrysler
Sized between an E63 AMG and S63AMG but for THOUSANDS less, I think this new generation 300 makes a very favorable impression for its pricepoint. Obviously, they don't really compete for the same buyers but a 300 SRT8 owner can feel very good about their purchase.
Looks better than the original 300, but still ugly
For me at my age, I'd go with the 300. Younger...probably the Charger.
i have never heard about chrysler wanting to be a cheap mercedes, like you say, chrysler is chrysler, no car company should try to be like another , instead have its own ways, btw mercedes are overhyped they have declined in reliability and overall material quality since the early 2000s, any i say that as a german, these new chryslers certainly don't have to hide behind anything IMO, american cars makers have certainly done a great leap forward in the past 2-3 years.
Driver error? No, in all seriousness this car handles beautifully for its size. When you're shooting on public roads you error towards safety and not killing the cameraman on the side of the road ;-)
visually and what i have heard so far this car is more appealing to me than any of the german luxury sport saloons, the mercedes amg's, bmw m's or audi s models, plus these would turn more heads here in germany as they have a distinctive american stance and design.
the gauges in this thing look amazing
Looks great for a Chrysler product
$53k is still a BARGAIN for that much of HP, the car makes you feel like you drive a S63 AMG but NOT.
I'm liking the way chrysler has re-branded itself this past year - and their new cars such as the 300 are a big step up from what they use to make!
Lol. I know there is no way a jetta GLI can compare. I'm looking at cars in my price range, and this one isn't. If I can get this I would, and of course an Audi A7 or A6 turbo.
i can`t believe how appealing this car is!, i`d never thought i`d say it, but i guess chrysler has both mercedes amg's as well as bmw m's with this one as far as i`m concerned. greetings from germany.
The only "arse" here is you. I guess it slipped your brain that the GT-R is AWD. That's the only advantage it has over the ZR1. If you knew anything about cars you would know that the torgue curve of a V8 is different than that of a V6. Who would pick a GT-R over lets say an Aston Martin or even a MB S65 Biturbo? Those cars have CLASS and performance and they SOUND great unlike the kiddy car GT-R. And no 412 HP is not bad for small naturally aspirated V8 that cost under 30,000.
its only 30k in america so that is voided, and yes the gt-r has one advantage over how many other dis-advantages: power, weight, the fact the zr1 used NON-STREET LEGAL superslicks while the gtr used its STOCK tyres, smaller engine, lower top speed. and you are deaf because the gt-r sounds fantastic and plus the gt-r is a fraction of the cost of the aston and merc so yes i would take it over them, and use your brain the GTR in my username is the ultima not the GT-R or are you blind too?
You cant really go wrong with either one. I would say performance is probably better with the CTS-V but cost of ownership is probably going to be quite a bit cheaper with the 300. Both really great cars.
Ya i dont care for performance as much when your talking about these cars, cause their both fast enough and i probably wont be racing so it might be better to get this brand new and cheaper then a used V
I just test drove this car. All I can say is WOW! the fastest car I ever driven.
this is so so so so much better looking and better quality that the last 300.
this car is clean as fuck... im thinkin about gettin this one or the new challenger srt8
A heated steering wheel? A little over the top. The car is sexy with the black grill though.
its a nice ride but at the end of the day, its still just a chrysler. ill stick with my Audi
Dude your retarded that's the best car ever
@911TurboGearXX Your a faggot, These American vehicles will laster longer than any Euro tash car will. But you just speaking out of jealousy cause Europeans car cant compete with them gem. Just watch all of BMW, AUDI and Porsche will start making car like these in their countries :)
I read your comment out of context than. Sorry...still FKN nice car :D!
I love the new 300
I can name 2 American cars that no bmw, mb, volvo, or audi can handle better. The Viper srt-10 ACR, and the Corvette zr1. American cars are more reliable too. My in-laws have 2 bmw's with less than 20k mile that have both been in the shop multiple times for various different problems, even a couple major problems like a tranny swap. I have a 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7L hemi that I have taken off-roading many times with over 75k miles. Absolutely 0 problems.
That's actually pretty impressive given that this engine can be had for just $45,000 in the Challenger SRT8. No European car can even come close to 470 hp for that price, and only Mercedes can offer the low-end torque offered by an American V8. The Aston Martin DB9 uses a 6.0L V12 making 470 hp. Dodge can give you that same power and more torque for 1/5 the price and with 4 fewer cylinders. The C63 AMG only makes 450 hp from a 6.3 liter V8 and costs twice as much as the Dodge.
Normally, I agree. However, when on a budget, the cheapest way to make more power is with more displacement. It's hard to criticize a manufacturer like Chrysler when it is impossible to go faster for less. As for the Viper, the latest iterations all made 600 hp. It's still no 100 hp/liter Ferrari, but it will certainly give any Ferrari a run for its money!
gawd chyslers are looking good these days.
I like that chrysler changed the 300. It was starting to look very aged :( But I think they made a huge mistake by taking too many cues from the Challenger and putting them into the Charger. ALL nice cars but the Challenger and Charger both look too similar. Same engines too, I think its going to kill the sales of the Challenger.
The chrysler 300 is the sexiest car eveeerrr. lol :D Can't wait to get :3
What is NOT to LOVE about this car? I want one of each of the 2012 Pentastar offerings!
This car has cup holders? Im sold!
I want it what a sweet ride! My 2006 with the 3.5 V 6 is great i can only imagine how fast the 2012 SRT-8 is! Wow!!!
BMW: oh what a nice little bimmer you got there. 300srt8: OH SHIT WTF is that it's like sex on wheels!?
I was listening to this review, think "hey this sounds actually pretty good" then I heard the price
its pretty cool and all but think the Cadillac is better because it it pretty close for the price range just my opinion
i ended up buying a 2011 chrysler 300 buy the limited edition and i love it!!!!..luxury is my style and this is it....
I like the car, it's like a poor man's E63 or M5. I love to see a 6 speed transmission, 5 speed is too old schooled for a car in ths price range. Keep up the good work SRT team.
24 mpg thats better then most car now a days lol plus the new one is an 8 speeed so its more like 30 mpg
good looking car, the only thing ii dont like about it is those backlights with the chrome lines git rid of the chrome and its almost perfect.
Very beautiful and luxurious car. =)
Audi is for guys that get manicures; this bad boy has a Hemi. Get a clue you effeminate deuche bag. Even no crap taking Russians, like my self, like 300 SRT8, because it's a man's car; not some take your cat to the groomer to get a bath bullshit like you are wishing to own.
This is designed to be a family car with a big engine that makes it fun to drive.
I'm glad that Fiat and Chrysler are working together cause now we can buy the 300 in the shape of a Lancia Thema ... and thank god that it has a Diesel engine cause you cant' succeed in EU without a proper diesel engine
looks waaaayyyy better than the first! ! !
still a chrysler.. good design but like any chrysler/dodge, theyre made like shit
100% Awesome, very well designed vehicle. Sat in one today and was blown away.
A bit pricy ,but a very nice machine
Cool, but why the LED strips in the headlights??
People say "American cars are a joke" These cars are so much better than those fuckin little tuner Civics with a fart can exhaust. Long live V8 power!!!
hi am italian and i drive many cars like fiat bmw audi also mercedes and other european and american car's and i think the american car are the best! in 2004 i bought the chrysler sebring and i never have problem's like a european car!
Chrysler/Dodge have come a long way, and so have Ford and Chevy. Cars like this will always be in driveway, keep up the good work big 3 glad to see you guys back in the game.
that would describe the charger, this car is all that plus luxury slapped on top, Chrysler is amazing....
nice car
This looks so awesome, i know the new 300 is coming to australia, but i'm not sure if the srt8 version is?.. oh god i'd snap it up in a heartbeat!!! Comfortable, powerful, and aesthetically pleasing - while i do LOVE european cars, they are priced so rediculously in Australia that cars like this make so much more sense.
will break down in 5 years? theirs a chrysler 300m from 1999 with 500,000 miles on it in the 300m club. now chrysler is building cars better then before its a matter of taking care of your car. instead of changing oil at 4k miles baby your car change it at 3k or if ur worried about engine sludge 2k i go with about 2.5 to 3k miles for mine
Sorry for last post as i hit post accidently before i was finished. Iv'e owned a 7 series, audi a6, INFINITI Q45 & A Acura rl and they all great cars. But i would never call the current generation of american cars junk as they are %100 better than themselves of just 5 years ago. I drive a porche panamera gts an Auston Martin vantage coupe & a modified 300m and i live in a $2.5 million dollar home, but i would never call ur BMW, MB etc or your $300,000 home junk.
Beautiful car!
Saw one of these in a showroom a few days ago that was black with the black chrome package. It looked sinister. And for the clowns arguing about fuel mileage, name me one other 500 horsepower car that can get 500 miles to a tank of fuel...these cars are amazing for what you get. NO Mercedes AMG, BMW M or Audi RS gets gas mileage even close to the SRT8's.
This car is pretty dope... I must admit.
The 300C has the standard 5.7 HEMI V8 with a good amount of hp in its own right - 363 hp. Fuel economy is a little better with cylander shutoff; its there in this 300 SRT8.
SRT8 has more of a sporty feel with a flat bottom steering wheel, paddle shifters, and little more stiffer suspension. 300C, though performs well, is better suited more for highway cruising yet powerful. It's a true luxury car with things like supple leather, heated and cooled seats, blind spot monitoring and back-up camera. SRT8 has those too, but it's purely performance.
My Dream
Do you remember Lamborghini Diablo? The heart of that car was the amazing engine made by Chrysler company ;) ... Chrysler is a good company
All depend and its considered a history car. New Chrysler 300c rocks man. First had trans problems, now is a beast
I love Chrysler that's the only car I'll buy
comfortable steering, great acceleration, smooth ride but lets be realistic its a "boat"
Admit at first glance looks promising..only concern is the quality and reliablity of the car. Hemi r known to have good power but very bad reliablity..
I own the 2006 300c 5.7L Hemi pkg. and other than oil changes haven't had to use my Full Warranty or spend any out of pocket$ in repairs..Chrysler builds them Right!
isnt that what pretty much defines American cars? That is part of the reason why i absolutley love this car!
It's a shame that Detroit squandered the consumer goodwill they enjoyed for so long. Judging from the comments made here they are making significant headway. This is an impressive car--it's not my taste, but it's impressive nonetheless.
470 vs 518...but the E63 AMG is almost twice the price as well, and uses a turbo-charger, so it can make a lot of its HP without a larger displacement. I think the SRT8 is larger in space and possibly heavier, so that's some points against it, but overall, I think the driving dynamics are pretty similar. At least to the average Joe or Jane.
HAHA! 500 MILES TO A TANK!!! LOL! KEYWORD: SRT-8 + 6.4L HEMI = IMPOSSIBLE DO SOME RESEARCH BUDDY! CLOSER TO HALF OF THAT FUELECONOMY.GOV SHOWS 292 MILES PER TANK NOT 500!!! THE GAS GUZZLER TAX IS THERE FOR A REASON NO DOUBT IT'S STILL A BEAUTY
its a nice car but its really nothing Special to be honest. This car at its price tag would have a hard time competing with a 5 year old Benz or BMW. even though its a nice car i doubt it will sell very well. because there are much better luxury cars out there for that price. this car it like an average sedan trying to pretend that its a luxury car. that's My impression anyways.
Chrysler is not unreliable. That's a load of bs made by import lovers. Just recently Acura recalled vehicles for a loose driveshaft. Or something of the sort check for yourself. So did you hear that your all reliable Honda got recalled for faulty parts.
well in 2011, the 300 sold well over 36K units. Just under 800 or so less units than in 2010. But already for 2012, sales of the 300 are up, and sales are better than 5 years ago. And in the price for this SRT8 300 which has a base price of 48 grand, and a tested price of close to 54 grand, you won't find too many other luxury performance cars at that price. Others in this class, the M5 is close to 100 grand. CTS-V is 70 grand. E63 is also 100 grand. The SRT8 is a sure bargain price here.
I like the SRT8s a lot but the only thing that's helping them in the fuel economy is the cylinder deactivation system. Besides that, they're fitted with the older 5-spd auto from Mercedes, but the newer AMG models are equipped with the 7-spd which give it taller over-drive ratios that help fuel economy. And the AMGs final drive gearing is always tall and taller than the ones in the SRT8, which only helps. So the srt8 won't dominate in the fuel mileage department. But not that I'd care too much!
How? This car is a better handling car.
23 MPG on the highway in actually VERY good mileage for a car that has a 6.4 L V8 that puts out over 400 HP. What's the problem? And if you can AFFORD a $55,000 car....you can afford to fill it up 2 and 3 times a week.
I Love my Car! Haters going to hate!
haha i liked the car before seeing last weeks episode but that did make me want to come back and see it. walts aztek was getting old though lol
love that srt8
The interior looks cheesy and too busy but I do like the engine and the exterior isn't that bad.
he has a point, the m3 is a better car, but its twice the price, really like the 300, though 14mpg is pathetic, i thought 30 was bad now a days, my honda does 55!
14/23???? That's schweeet for a 392 hemi!
Looks classy but fun. I like.
mmmm nah! i'll pass! the car looks great but 6.4 engine only gets 470hp?? my Infiniti M56s with a 5.6 gets 420hp a programmer for my car and i should beat the srt8 since, it gets 12.9 quarter mile vs my 13.2 quarter mile well depends on the driver too! just my opinion!
Jeez, Citroens are looking better and better. It really does look like a one-off motorshow concept.
Very harsh on DS5 Mat, don't expect any more Citroens for test reviews :D I've been in this DS5 and it's amazing, really not french-like. But when I saw it the other day on the street, it just passed by me. The styling becomes interesting when you're close to it and you take a look at all the small details. From far away it just looks like C4 Picasso or some similar MPV tbh.
Styling is perfect. Interior looks promising. But once you take out the ride comfort, its not a citroen anymore.
Loving the design, spot on Citroen.
I'd honestly buy this over an A4.
Hmm doesn't get a tick in my books, although I like how they are getting out there and trying to innovate with the concept design, the interior speaks for itself, the buttons look very confusing especially for a techno n00b like some parents. I am VERY glad to have the Ford Falcon over here in Australia, seems like nobody other than Ford and Holden can create a family car sedan with plenty of leg and head room, a big bottle approved glove box. And not to mention the falcon engine ;)
Give me a DS3 any day!
Do you actually have any experiance with new Citroens? No. So shut up. And better quality from BMW / Mercedes or Audi? Are you serious? Sorry, but DS5 makes the 3 series, C class and A4 feel like toys in comparison.
Yes, there are 5 BMW's in my family at the moment. 2 x new 730d's, E92 320i, 118d E86, and E60 530i series. My family has driven BMW's pretty much in the last 15 years all the time. So, yes, I have experience with BMW's, and I can tell from experiance that DS5 makes even the E60 5 series feel a bit old and cheap inside. Not to even mention the 3 series which feels like 2 classes under DS5. Go drive the DS5 and see, instead of being ignorant and living in the past.
And in which way cant DS5 keep up against A4 for example? Its got a much better interior, higher build quality, better materials, better seats, better sound proofing, its nicer to drive, nicer too look at and nicer to spend time inside, its more comfortable and drives just as good (Mats comments on steering are rubbish, since many other cars in class are no better), its got a better diesel, slicker gearbox, etc. Stop living in the past and instead of being an ignorant douche, go test some cars.
When I say quality I mean from what kind of materials the car is put together, how those materials are put together, attention to detail, feeling of solidity, etc. And DS5 will last a long time. I don't see a reason why it would not. Materials are excellent, its built as solid as a tank...and check the latest ADAC reliability ratings to see that latest French cars are in the top of reliability charts.
ADAC is a German group that test cars, probably the most reliably of that kind in the world, so if they say that a Citroen model is more reliable than VW model for example, then it must be true.
Four Passat driver were watching that video! Great review and such a handsome car!
I think this car is a revolutionary step forward into the future... None of all the cars in the world is, was or ever will be perfect.. but... this car..is AMAZING.. go and touch it.. it will blow your mind with the design..
Thats because the ranking still take into account the old models as well, which werent so reliable. New models from Citroen, Renault and Peugoet all got perfect reliablity marks since 2007 or 2008 up until now. For example, Megane III is the most reliable car in the segment together with Mercedes B class, Audi A3 and BMW 1. Same goes for Peugeot 308.
Beautiful styling and details, too bad it's missing practicality
New cars often seem reliable. I did notice an apparent improvement on French cars (maybe more on Renault than PSA, but the latter was not as bad as the former), but some questionable choices make me sceptical. Most reliable cars are also rational, logicly developed and functional. Not sure cars like the DS5 or the 208 fit the bill. Maybe the 308 is a bit better. I consider reliable a car not showing its 10-15 years age, so today I'd look at R-reg to 52-reg cars. Time will tell for newer cars.
This car does make you stand out of crowd. For this I salute them just as Mat does.
Great car and great design.Citroen¨s design is already in future what is the greatest thing in car world.
Looks great, not a fan of the chrome strips at the front tho.. What the hell?
Very cool car. I really like it.
nice design but the rest...meh, wouldn't buy french
I love every inch of this car in & out!!! If I'd bought F10 530d M, so now I'd sell it to buy this ♥
I travel by car a quite a lot and I don't mind the "massaging seats". I first saw the DS5 at Frankfurt Auto Show and I loved it. I drove it some time ago and there was one thing that really bugged me and for me it could be a deal braker. I'm not a fan of cupholders as Mat BUT there is absolutely no cupholder in the center area so I really cannot imagine travelling 800miles and having to reach the "big bottle" in the door compartment. I would trade the sun roof for 2 cupholders every moment.
this is car is a kitch car,look very good but mechanicly it's a garbage,and i know it!!
french cars are standard for comfort... definitely
I love this car! But prefer the DS4 in terms of size.
Car sucks, but it looks good though.
Wow when Matt is sitting in the back, those headrests barely come up to the bottom of his neck. They'd have to extend up to the ceiling to be of any real use. Overall I like what Citroen are trying to do here, but a few bits do look they're quirky for the sake of being quirky.
The design is really away from the market, everything is unusual, that is good, because this is how Citroen does things, to be different from others just look at really old Citroen, all the dials the pedal and brakes just different from the rest. I'm still waiting for the large ds to arrive, it would be really a wow. Some people who like to be different from the rest will buy 1!
Saw my first one of these today in the colour of the car in the video. Looked even better than I thought it would in the metal. Surprisingly sleek and almost compact looking for such a large car.
Not very stylish? Did you watch the video? The DS line has always had style.
LOVE THIS MACHINE .
Applaud Citroen for trying to be different. Its better than the boring Germans.
Not logically laid out? I absolutely relish the fact that when I get into a new car and controls are NOT where I expect to find them, the manufacturer has thought about my type of driver, and for the other types you can always read your drivers manual!! I don't want the heater controls to be where I expect to find them, because I don't adjust them often.
Wow, not seen that version of the ds5 before with that chrome, my reaction was the same as yours lol Sorry, the interior is an overkill of grey and that centre console just accentuates it more :o( Follow the crowd or go for something that won't last............I'll just avoid the boring audi and go for a merc instead lol I like the front styling, but the rear looks like it's been sat on by an elephant :o(
I don't care this car flaws if I vould I would buy it without any regrets... BTW Mat RULES!
Notice I said amazing looking/feeling. When I say looking I mean that it looks so outrageously gorgeous, so different than other people carriers. And when I say feeling, I mean the feeling of how special the interior is. It's just so gorgeous, beautifully built, and so many tiny details like the leather patterns on the seats, the door handles, the ribbed rims, the huge chrome sword-things on the front wings. It's just a jewel to look at and to be inside, the fact that it's practical is a bonus!
I would. Why would you want such a dull sedan like the A4 when you could have a jewel of a car such as this!? There's absolutely nothing special about the Audi. Nothing. But this, this just oozes passion, flare, and uniqueness. The fact that it's practical and usable is just a huge bonus!
I doubt the ride is bad at all. Matt is extremely picky when it comes to ride comfort and steering feel, as if families everywhere will be disappointed that it doesn't handle like an F1 car and ride like a Rolls Royce at the same time...
Something different but not very good. That's why you buy a German car. Classic but still very good looking, and top class ...
I think Matt didnt like this car at all lol!! I like everything about this car but the exterior design is a little too much
looks so good the ds5. I like german cars but this looks much better
it look amazing in person.work of art.
I love the quirkiness of Citroen. Very nice looking car and it's different to everything else on the road and that's why I'd buy it. Love the sunroof, love the dash, love the styling. How many people actually carry around a HUGE water bottle anyway, what's wrong with the regular 600ml bottles... I see far more people with those than the larger one. But I digress. Great car, I, for one, would definitely buy one.
When he refers "concept cars", i noticed that he doesn't like the ds5 xD but, he did a good review about the car. It's a good professional. This car is great. It has defects and the design is not consensual, but as Citröen fan, the brand is in a good way. The DS line is better and better. I hope the DS9 will be awesome.
At the end of the day: the DS5 has some very good looks, and a well made interior, as well as a decent diesel engine. But it drives like crap. So I wouldn't buy it.
it's not about being different - it's about getting a great car that'll keep you entertained for a while .. i'd get the a4 anyday ... sorry this is just another great idea with bad french execution
totally agree citroen its trust worthy!!!! and like every car it has strenghts and weaknesses!!! I totally agree with u!! have a nice day my friend!
Design is always very subjective, personally I like the interesting flourishes they've come up with for the CS5 and if it were just about looks it would be near the top of my list. Problem is I have owned two Citroens before and the long-term reliability was shocking. This still seems to be borne out by surveys like Which? Autocar and JD Power, meaning I'd worry this great looking motor would be more likely to let me down than a 'safe looking' German car.
Nicd car
I love the quality of a german too. I tested a Polo 9n for two times and sometimes i have a 2009 Caddy in house (it's from work) and i love the quality of the germans. It's all in details. But emotionally i'm a Citroën fan since i was young. My daddy owned an 1992 ZX for 11 years and no critical problems. I have a 2000 Saxo for 4 years and no critical problems too.
Nonsense!! Life is one with no repetition and because of that DS5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, i'd go for the Hybrid. 200bhp, 270lb ft torque, 70MPG. and it looks good!
O c`mon problems you speak of are in the past. Face it this is 2012 and Citroens have become very reliable.
Oh c`mon guys as far as quality is concerned Citroen has become very good in this department very quickly. It`s 2012. Face it. We used to own BX, AX, ZX and Xsara and no problems just regular service intervals so you know I`m talking from experience.
I totally dissagree. For example: the original DS from 1955 to 1975 is beautifull in many ways even today. It has also been choosen by jurnalists as the most beautifull car of the 20th century.
You are kidding, right? Citroën is the example when it comes to timeless classics. Cars like the CX and the DS are still being used as "futuristic" or "modern" cars even to this day (in Sci-Fi/future films as Children of Men or series like Battlestar Galactica), the 2CV is an all-time classic, and cars like the XM or the VISA still look quirky and headturning today. This DS5 will long be remembered as a very timeless and futuristic car, I'm sure of it.
Just one word... unique
The time when you can forgive some small glitches in favor of true style, not just plain German vulgarity. 5 *s from me!
I own a ds5 1.6 156 bhp. It has decent head and leg room behind. It doesnt feel cheap at all.. The ride has a good balance btw firm and comfy. Loads of equipment. Ergonomics are fine. A little thirsty avg @ 25 mpg.. Great alternative to a merc, audi or a beamer..
My dad owns a 2.0 hdi, and I have to say, the car is pretty impressive to drive and dazzling to look at. The space in the back is bigger than an Audi A4 Avant, and the wrist watch seats make the car really comfortable. I like this car a lot, and I love my DS3!
I like this car
wtf this car is sexy
yeah, just look at those sexy headrests ....
i absolutly love the ds5 because it just so unique
The best car makers in FRANCE just in france CITROEN !!
Exactly, New Citroens are great, they are actually reliable now!.
The car is beautiful no doubt, but its TERRIBLE on back roads; harsh, bumpy solid ride, hit a pothole or a bump and it will knock your hoe's silicone implants down to her fan... Stick to a c5 for better ride quality and extra leg room in the rear
Thanks. God car DS5
This DS5 is a big mix I think- French cars are very poorly made, they don't last and I WOULD NEVER BUY ONE. They do look amazing though, the DS3 and the people carriers look great, but you just know they're not going to last. For the same money as an Audi there is no contest- go for the German engineering!
this is a stupid review he doesn't mention this is the safest CAR on sale (not SUV or JEEP) CAR!!!!!
It are a beautiful car.
Normal, you are an englisher. You don't deserve to drive one. Only for people with taste.
Please bring Citroen to the US! Sick oc ASIAN SHIT!
French cars rules.
@poshstanley I have owned a peugeot 306 1.9DTurbo for the past 12 years and 170,000 miles on it been absolutely flawless never let me down, no squeaky or rattling interior parts and still on it's original clutch and turbo so French cars aren't poorly made and also my uncle also has a 1998 306 and is also in prestine condition
it s better, cause it is on picasso base
ds5 have much better quality interior, german cars are much better, japanese have hard horrible plastic, honda now stop selling accord in uk cause no one is buying it
interior is awesome, exterior.........too much like a Hyundai.......=-)
who has no faults ? if this car has a very good reliability , citroen will win his bet again ... wait and see . i hope the salesmen will give an extra guarantee to reassure UK poeple ; ) . a good guarantee is the key to sell this car
I would pick this car over a BMW or Audi anyday ..
nice car
Very beautiful car, although I don't like Wagons this car is really nice! =)
Agree with this vid - interior looks great but seems a bit substance over style and I'm not a huge fan of the chrome on the A pillar....
completely flawed but if it can be reliable then why not?! Nice to see Citroens can still be quircky
i love the back of it!
My dad got his today!! We all love it! Even tho we just downgraded from the new shape e-class
it's better than bmw series 1, 3 or audi A1,2,3,4!!!!
Fantastic ! I love this car! Stupid review Matt!
I am normally not impressed by French cars but this CITROËN DS5 is just amazing.. I had the opportunity to test drive a DS5 and a Audi A4 at the same day and the DS5 has a REALLY good quality.. The Interior is very impressive and I liked better then the A4
u are realy stupid because A4 with the same options its twice expensive.gather youre fackts.and this car its twice better
Why can't we get this as a one time deal in the U.S.? It's such a good looking car. Here, take all my money and my first born. TAKE IT NOW!
In 20 years cars like this will be remembered for pushing the design envelope and ultimately contributing to the design of cars in the future, where as an Audi A4 for instance will be remembered for.......... well, it wont be remembered. Most cars are just boring as bat shit.
good ad! really true too- my 240 still looks and drives great.
Dayum, this is a great commercial. Something is eerie about it, but it's very true! My '85 240 was an excellent car. "...built to last." They ain't kiddin'!
Cool thing is is that they AINT lying. I have three volvos, 145 -73 745 -87 and 760 -90. More or less problem less ownership (had the first one since 87), and the two newer ones you can hardly see or feel that theyve been used as much as they have. Quality at its best.
viva volvos
Man, this is one's awsome! Drive a 90' 740 my self. But the 240 is a better car...
My 244 dl is from 1975. It's DOUBLED it's average life. DAMN good car. You can't argue with its longevity
All cars could be made to last like that. And nowdays they could make cars that last for 100 years, literally. But then 90% of the car companies would go broke since people would buy way less cars. And then of course the price would skyrocket so you had do save for 20 years before you could buy one.
Last I read the life expectancy of a 240 was 19.5 years. I still see plenty 30 years on.
I like this AD with all the other crapy cars sticking in the snow. ----Volvo For Life----
i'm driving my 1990 740 turbo still.. 18 years later.. looks brand new still..
i drive my 21 year old 1987 240 dl, and it still runs great.
I own a rusty '75 estate, got it for 500 dollars, says 271,710 miles on the clock, but the last time the odometer worked was 1999. It still putters along. Putt putt putt.
the only car you can trust
16.2 years? that doesn't seem that long, but I'm sure it is as an average. Got a 740 GL that is nothing but trouble at the moment, BUT it has been left standing for years and there's no rust apart from round the sunroof and the misfiring just needs to be sorted out
Have a 1977 245 DL , still going strong, engine is the cleanest on emissions. Old cars do not pollute, specially if it is a Volvo.
It's average. Cars gets scrapped after accidents aswell etc. So it's not only 'natural causes'. As a comparison the Swedish postal service uses Renaults which they scrap after 2 years of service and numerous transmission replacements. In the 'good old days' they had Volvos which were well over 10 years old still running. Ford have washed away the 'workhorse' image of Volvo and thus don't sell to fleets etc. anymore.
I drive a 1996 Volvo 850 GLT. My parent brought it in.....1996!! We still have it and I will say it will still run like forever. VOLVOS NEVER DIE!!!!
what do you mean? old cars pollute more than 3 times then modern cars? but volvo cars pollute less then others, but a volvo from back then is polluting way more than daily cars.
Thats strange, as the owner of 4 245's, when ever they have the emission test they always pass. New cars in for the test always need repairs or adjustements. Tester always informs me they are cleaner then new cars. It's about servicing, and how well it is carried out. New cars are not run in as older cars were. It is just another tale to sell cars.
yes but you are wrong. it´s a -77 year model then it not have a catalysator, or what you will call it, that cleans out all gases/emissions that is even worse than co2. i don´t know what the name of the gas is in english.. but noway the car is cleaner.. you know back then, global warming was not an issue the same way it is today. sure, scientist had noticed it but not many cared. so the cars did´nt build to be "clean" except for volvos.
but volvo has for a very long time maked clean cars so they has been better since 1977..
1977? Well thats handy, as my DL is a 1977. With cleaner emissions than newer cars. As I said before, if the car is maintained well, using quality parts, it will be more cleaner than a newer car. I am not wrong. It is called a Catalyser, with a Lambda Sond unit. This was used on Volvo's in the U.S., and other none E.U. countries, or though I gather Germany requested this as well.
My 92 240 is invincible. Some times wish i had a wagon, but the sedan is kinda sporty =p
If you own a Volvo, you will be aware that Volvo state that good servicing is an investment to prolonging the life span of engine internals. This is why, I have 245's with high miles and clean emissions. When they are tested, the tester always informs me the engines are cleaner than new cars with less miles on. The fact is, a new car push is being forced upon people, to stimulate economies. And since when did a cat cost a grand? A genuine is only £200
i'm thinking of a honda cat, here in canada it's about $900 you're right, a volvo one is cheaper, i just found that out i guess it's more how stressful the miles were on the car than the # of them. usually when i see them with bad emissions it's the ones with high mileage but i guess i'm used to seeing ones that have been revved high and poorly maintained and attributed too much of it to mileage rather than to taking a beating during the miles it drove
why not have both ? there are still plenty out there , we bought a 240 wagon last year and we love it , hope you have many years in yours too :)
aww that sucks , i moved from ireland to canada and my wife had a huge dodge dakota she was always complaining about gas milage so i suggested she look at a volvo 240 .....we bought it on the spot and have never looked back
volvo is the best safty car
That car ,That colour . love them..............
Saab was superb before GM took it over and ruined it. Volvo, in my opinion, was better before Ford took it over. At least a Volvo was a Volvo and not a Focus or Mondeo with a different shell and Volvo badge. I would have an old Volvo, but would fit a modern engine to get good economy. An old 244 or 345 sounds good to me.
nice old commercial...Volvo Rules.....from puerto rico
Yeah, and they spoke the truth at the time. These old beaters don't quit and are the easiest & cheapest to keep on the road. Front wheel drive and multi-overhead cam engine design have turned the car industry from one that used to live the words of this ad, to one that just sadly, has killed itself. Unfortunately everybody just has to change to newer cars every few years,just to feel good about themselves. Volvo should bring back the real 4 cyl RWD cars. They always GO!
My folks bought an 1986 240gl when i was one week old, i have had it for the last 5 yrs. i just bought a 2011 navara but i just can't part with my old tank, in the 25yrs that the car has been in my family i has broken down once. it just wont die......i Still take it out once a week.
i like the 2x4's holding every other car up...
I have a volvo 244DL and a volvo 245DL, both from 1977 great old cars wont part with them, they are realy old now, where ever i go people love to chat about them!!! im in australia!!!
We bought a 244 DL from 1978 a few weeks ago. It looks and runs like it just came out of the factory in Gothenburg.....
I know all this.. I've got one since may 2010. It's even better than this review - it's awesome. Buy it!
how much does this thing cost becaause i LOVE it???
Great review - Ducati City kindly loaned me the exact bike you used for the review over the June long weekend. I had problem with my ST4S & needed a bike to run a Ducati Owners Club ride. Guess what two weeks later I'm proud owner of a Multistrada - having sworn they were to ugly to own. I agree don't test ride one unless you can afford it!!
Great review and spot on! I just bought one of these and it's being delivered tomorrow. YEA! I went to the dealer just to kill time on a Saturday to look at the Diavel. When I found out they do test rides, well sign me up. I took the Diavel for a ride and WOW, smokin fast! But if you are tall (6') the seat jams you up too close to the tank and it throws off a boatload of heat back on the rider. :(. Before leaving the dealership I was eying the MS. Another ride. And WOW!!!! I'll take it. Sold...
imidiate Like! I've come 03:24 and can already say that THIS IS Spaaathe best review so far! This makes me want to trade my DUC streetfighter S to a multistrada. I would be able to ride all year with this bike compared with the SF. Time to watch the rest and GJ on the video.
wow the looks of this bike are incredible
wow! i want to have a ducati
This really is a great review...one of the best I've ever seen. Very well done. Now for the bike. I've been shopping for a while now, and it seems this IS the bike for me. Honda and Yamaha have nothing like it. The Versys is too small and ugly. The R1200GS is a BMW. The V-Strom...are you kidding me?? As great as this bike seems, its built for riders with deeeeep pockets. So it's quite a stretch. Maybe I'll wait for a used one, but I think this is it. V-twins rule.
Lay off, will ya'.. It is a great bike, though i loved the 'honeymoon' comment :-) But in the end is all about the corporates money. And: "How deep can i make my pocket?" -Its nothing personal. The way this dude hammered the gearshift just to state his point, and fumbling around like a 2 year old to prove his point.. Jeez What does england have to show for in this segment? And i'm not being retorical..!
i think this bike is dream not only because of its capabilities but also for the price because it is less expensive than say any toyota or nissan electric car ( and zillion times more fun) and when in city mode it can be more kinder to the environment then them .
I just bought one of these,and i must say it is the best bike i have EVER ridden in my 25+ years on a heap of different bikes. It handles like a carving ski in the corners and goes like a superbike. On top of that it is also comfortable and you have enough room in the panniers and topbox to take looong roadtrips. It is no t as good as the GS1200 off-road,but i hardly ever do that,so that is not a problem. This is really close to perfection in my opinion
I must have it. It is so perfect XD
...I just test rode one today while I was getting new tires put on my own bike. I don't know how many times I yelled "wholly ballls!" into my helmet...but it was a few. I will have one...
Oh and Ferrari recently did make a 4WD car! And it did indeed suck! But it looked pretty sexy!
I tried it last weekend, it was the first time I was driving a Ducati. Result, I fell in love and bought one. Im gonna have it tonight.
Despite the not remotely funny and annoyingly juvenile sex obsessed commentator this is a nice look at the Multisrada. Though I still don't understand why people think the Vstrom is fugly, I think it's a good looking bike myself. The Ducati looks nicer in person than the video, it's a substantial bike too, but looks sort of small in the video. With a bike like this and a BMW GS it's easy to say they are over-designed, but for $20K they better be! I'll take my $4,300 (second hand) 2010 Wee.
happy riding, it looks like a fantastic bike
I love my mercedes.
i like it ... but they should have feature the new s class or c class...
very nice ad + suv
It's strange because this was obviously shot in Vancouver (most likely), but the car has European license plates on it, and the car is built in Alabama.. 0.o Funny commercial, though, and I love the car!
one of the fuckin best german cars... my father has one and we´re from germany, its BEAAAAAST...
i love this car its crazy
mercedes is a german company so d that means this car is the best
Yummy both car and Ben's voice!
That is one sexy car narrated by one sexy voice! I want a Jag XKR-S with Benedict Cumberbatch in it!
Born to be beautiful Born to be fast Born to perform Whats else can we say about Jaguars.....and Daimlers too....
I own one of this outestanging and beautiful machines
i feel proud to own a JAGUARrrrrrrrrrrrr! go jaguar ! leopard in an aluminium body unleashes its POWER rrrrrowerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrREVREVREVVVVVVV!!!!
Great ad and am looking forward to picking up my X-Type 3.0 Sport, awsome cara and company.
Great car , I own the xj6 series III.
No, it's a Jaguar.
jaguar forever! kill mercedes kill bmw kill maybach go daimler-jaguar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!jaguar owns the track since it started
er not really you twat. my dad drives a jag xj soverien. and i aint posh. :P wooh go jags. xxx
Hahahaha okay.... Bmw and Mercedes will rape every car jaguar can throw at them.... and you compare a maybach to a jag?? wtf are you a moron... the only car i highly respect of Jaguar is the Xj not the ugly ass 2010 one but from 95-09 the car was one of thee best looking cars on the road.
yes I do,and bmw are ugly shits every single car they make looks like a box and has no design or curves that r unique.\ maybe the new 7 series but generally they r shitty designed mercedes makes ugly cars as well and only the nice cars they make like the SLR which compared to a raicing jag xk .the SLR will still suck. i liked the older xj too but there are too many stupid people in the world that dont buy it because fir them it looks old thats why there is a new design.
jaguar always rules...im so pround to drive my x type
*Hugs my 95' X300 Vandenplas* :) with 56,000 miles and given to me by my granmother whos very sick. my jag has never let me down and its a shame they got turned for a newer car and crushed.
obviously some people haven't driven a Mercedes or BMW. I'm not here to start an argument but Mercedes and BMW's have a great behind the wheel experience. Jaguars are great cars, I admit that, but you can't call the others horrible without trying them all. Styling to some might be ugly but driving pleasure is another thing. I love European cars, from German to British so I don't hate any of the car manufacturers. Just my comment :)
Jags Have so much more character and charisma than Bmw,s or mercs I Love them.
Jags Have so much more character and charisma than BMW,s or Mercs I love them. I Will never forget my first jag an old XJ6

I've owned all three and out of BMW,Mercedes,And Jaguar....My 95 XJ12 is my favorite she has power handling and the softest leather i have ever felt
With respect, @Anathlyst, they are not. They're the best affordable ones that *actually run* on Indian roads. I'll admit they're a little...ahem, rugged, but the Indigo Manza is a delight.
good car, bad video qualtity
Good to know others know the reason why buy a jaguar. I get asked all the time why i drive one and that its an old peoples car but i just got it because the way it makes u feel and the sound and the ride quality. "its different"
Jaguar is the best... at least for me....
to me, I love the 98' till 03' XJ because it looks like a modern take on a muscle car!!! makes Vin Deisel's Charger look like a POS!!!!
The old design makes you look like a pimpin boss!!!! It was awesome in its every state!!!!!!
This ad describes me in every way, Jaguar is my soul!!!!!!!!
For all the Jaguar fans out there, to which I count myself a member, Ford's premiership over the marque was the most disastrous of the big cat's history. Almost as bad as GM's takeover of Saab.
i thought i was the only one thinking this.....i love the old jag lines and i love how the hood on my x type looks compared to these new models.....too bad that companies have to please these stupid people as you call them....but they still look better than any other car on the road :)
Now that is one SERIOUS car. I would love to wake up at 3AM and jump in that thing. Fill it up to the brim and rip through the streets all night long. Fuck the police. You cannot catch me in that car. Police helecopter? Good luck this thing OUTRUNS CHOPPERS. Get on the motorway and they dont have a hope in hell in catching you. Just hope the petrol lasts!
Finally a AWD Lambo~~ i remember the previous Galardo got owned by JDMs cars like Evo,Supra,Skyline lolol~~
looks better than the nera version, and a bad ass car.
that car is awesome if i had the cash id get that n the new reventon fuck ferraris these r better
a wonderful car presented uninspired
i dont love lamborghini and am a huge porsche fan but this lambo is fkn sexy lol. damnn!
Raging bull baby. I've sat in an LP560, it's like a cargasm.
I just hang up on Samuel who drove the cars in the video, he´s very impressed of how the car handles. Although he´s not very fond of the gear shifter, it´s still too slow compared to other supercars automatic shifting. But it looks so damn good, so you will have to oversee with this! :-D
