Pilot. They’re still relevant as older beaters. Plus comparing it to a modern 3 row CUV would be good for seeing what the industry did in 19 years.

The Volt, the Avalanche, the Beetle, the MX-5 or the 6.

I can already picture how gray the black plastic on the Avalanche is.

  1. The 300 video was a rollercoaster of emotion, I loved it. Best so far.
  2. Always intentionally pick the biggest pile on the lot for maximum trips to the parts store and entertaining banter.
  3. 2004 Avalanche (see #2)

TBH when these first hit the site I thought they were kinda low-risk filler, but I was fully engaged while you did the burnout in the last video. I very much look forward to what comes next.

Volt, either Prius, any CR-V.
No questions, but will comment that, as an old, I’m not a fan of the intro bit. It reminds me of why I stopped watching Hoonigan. I assume it’s done ironically which I suppose makes it ok, but still doesn’t appeal to me

I assumed the intro was done ironically in an “Xzibit/Pimp My Ride” style. That was the vibe I got. It’s not an exact match because they changed it every show, but it’s a similar style. In that context, I found it hilarious.

I’d rank my preferences as Avalanche, New Beetle, and the 2 Series. The Avalanche in particular interests me because I’d like to see how a SoCal model holds up 20 years later. I don’t see them often around where I live due to rust.

2014 Beetle

Been a fan of all the videos, but gotta say I like seeing the old beat to shit stuff the most. Stuff that ends up being a $500 trade in is what i’m interested in.

Another vote for the Avalanche! Runner-up would be the Volt.

More votes for: (1) Volt; (2) Avalanche; and (3) SRX. Interested in seeing how each has aged (knowing that a sample size of one is statistically meaningless . . . but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun!)

Avalanche or Volt.

How about a ‘how bad is it’ checklist? Deduct points for everything bad about that larticular car, with the crown going to the lowest (negative!) Points? Warped dash? Lose points. Bad lugnuts? Lose points. Engine is barely running? Points. That odd, sticky stuff covering that backseat that looks like its breathing? Believe it or not, points.

Bonus points if you review your own vehicles with the list.

I’m loving this series. I enjoyed the Mirai the most, just because it’s so odd, but they have all been good.

I have to vote Volt, since I had a 2014. It was way ahead of it’s time and a great car. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts vs. the Leaf and I3. The center stack is very different (nearly all capacitive buttons). I grew to like it, but it was odd. You can find out what the “TP” button on the center stack does (it’s not that exciting).

Avalanche would be good too.

I’m voting Avalanche because it stands out the most on that list. Also an ex had one and I enjoyed driving it, interesting to see how it is holding up at 20 vs the few years old it was when we were together.

2013 Cadillac SRX a decade old American luxury club is definitely worth a revisit. Or the 2014 Beetle could also be interesting as a not a GTI alternative.

The Avalanche would be interesting. It is such a unique product and most Avalanche owners say they are incredible. It would love to hear David’s thoughts on one of these.

As for the other questions, the Mirai review is my favorite but all have been interesting. I don’t have a lot of constructive criticism at this point. The videos have been entertaining and I like that David points out a lot of random stuff that other reviewers wouldn’t think of.

Assuming you’re asking for one from each list:

  1. 2013 Toyota Corolla
  2. 2013 Cadillac SRX
  3. 2020 Fusion Hybrid OR 2014 Volt OR 2016 BMW 2 series
  4. 2014 Beetle

If you want them ranked by preference:

  1. 2014 Volt
  2. 2013 SRX
  3. 2013 Corolla
  4. 2014 Beetle

I’d like to hear how the Volt holds up, and how it compares to you i3. If the SRX has a Northstar, it’d be interesting to see if it is alive. And I’d like to see your reaction to a 2013 Corolla.

Keep it up. This series is fun!

I agree with this preference list. The first-gen Volt and the SRX are both quirky GM, and then looking at the Beetle and Corolla through today’s lens as economy cars from a decade ago.

I believe the 2013 SRX was the second gen, no Northstar. Definitely would agree if it was a first gen.

This series is so awesome – it’s now my favorite recurring series on the platform (well except for Shitbox Showdown). The Mirai one was my favorite – keep doing weird cars like that. Of that list, here’s my ranking:

  1. Avalanche
  2. Volt
  3. Beetle
  4. 2013 Explorer

Miata Is Always The Answer 🙂

Tiguan

Challenger

New Beetle

F150

Volt

BMW 2 series

A lot of the others will be penalty boxes, but in cases where there are multiple examples – as with the 2017 Civics – maybe you could do a quick comparison.

Or – also as with the Civics – you could compare the 2017 to the 2023.

I’d love to see your take on the Avalanche or the Ridgeline, which some people might tend to malign as not being real trucks.

The Volt – I want to see what you think as compared to your i3.

As for Q1 – they were all good. Q2 – hard to say. I tend to just read the text and not watch the videos.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE!

Goshdarnit, I need a New Beetle rallycross beater so much. That car that car that car.

(And heck, if it’s in horribad shape and only worth a few hundred at best, you might have a buyer lined up. Hi!)

As for the questions, I need to catch up to pick a fave (sadly) as I’ve been bogged down with new job stuff on my end, but this series is a hell of a lot of fun and the videos are great. I like seeing cars reviewed in real-world situations, after real-world drivers had their hands, feet and butts all over them. The Nitro in particular was a riot, though.

So, to answer the overall question: MOAR. Just do more of what you’ve been doing.
