Overall, I think it's a very good option for a sports sedan ! It's not the Best one per say, as others have more power, or bit more lux features in either materials, or other type features, but it's got a good balance for a more affordable price, if that's a criteria or concern for you. Pros: - Sexy Exterior - Great Power, more than average driver will want. - Great handling, I assume (haven't driven it yet), but is Super Handling AWD. - Great Fuel Economy for the Power, and even above that - Interior cabin space is decent, on plus side for headroom and general comfort Cons: - Missing some features competing models may have, like power steering wheel, - only 2 way lumbar support, lesser driver seat adjustments - interior Dash design is not to hot, IMHO - No Normal Shifter.. personally, don't like that. at least the type like the Stinger has, is minimum and cool. - Front Seats could be a wee bit more plush - Some say Unintuitive audio controls * Will find and report on more when I can get into one and test drive it.. Look out for that. IIHS Report: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/... NHTSA Reports: for 2019 model, since it'll have more info. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/AC...

I Didn't Have Any Alone Time with this New Cool SUV. Getting you a look at it here, with some features info. It seems to be at Mercedes Levels of Quality, Style, Design & Finishes. Probably a Bit Better than Lexus and for sure better than an Acura SUV. When it's out, You Gotta Go Check it Out and Test Drive One, if The Luxury SUV Category is Your Desire ! I don't like the Full Length Dash Vent Design, Not on an Audi and Not in Any Vehicle. Overall, a Very Lux Design and feel. Centre console w/electronic gear select and touch pad for infotainment/navigation control, is customary now on lux brands. I Don't Love that Either, but Maybe I would if had one and got used to it ? Thanks for Watching !! Please Like / Rumble and Subscribe !! And Grow with Me !

Overall, I find it to be a Very Well Balanced Vehicle for Great Luxury Feel, Features, Powerful Engines, Good Dash w/Practical Layout for Use. Fantastic Value, IMHO! Just a Few Pros and Cons (likely more for both, but just few I Re-call). Pros: Well, Classy Classy Luxury Sedan - Materials Thru-out - 900 Watts 17 Speaker Stereo ! - All the Techy Safety Features, and They Work well - Rims and Tires they put on this - Seats and Power Adjustments they offer (More than Lexus LC500) - Hyundai/Kia/Genesis Forward Braking assist system all work well and better than many other brands. Thumbs up for this ! Tons of Value for the Lux You Get !! Cons: - Rear Seats Don't fold down (only a pass-thru) - Fuel Economy isn't as good in these Engines as they're Rivals (but you save tons more $ in purchase price, so.....) - Personally, I like to see 18" & 17" rims offered (common for many brands these days), for those who prefer even more comfy ride and not over-sized rims, cause it's cool. and too costly to update tires (Sure, if buying a lux brand, why worry about tire costs ?) Even folks who buy these cars, not all just want to always spend extra $$ when shouldn't have too. IIHS Report: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/... NHTSA Reports: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/GE... Consumer Reports Give this Very High Scores 89/100 score and 4/5 Predicted Reliability and 5/5 Owner Satisfaction

Besides driving it, it's a Very Sweet Sporty Sedan !! Is it better than a 3 Series or A4 or similar ? I think it competes with them like a champ ! A Must to put on your Test Drive List !! And you decide where to spend your hard earned $$ Pros and Cons: Pros: - Very Attractive Exterior and Interior Design - Great fit and finish - Very Comfy seating - Very Powerful and Great Handling for it's class as per other reviews - Lots of features, Value for What it offers compared to it's competitors. - Has many luxury features, even some luxury brands/models don't have for similar price points. - Safety tech features work well in Genesis models - Well Laid out buttons for every day use features.. Not all stuck in some big screen you have to dangerously look for while driving.. Like in the new Subi Legacy/Outback... - Overall cabin size is actually good for this category. - Warranty is Better than most ! - Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS testing. See link below - Consumer Reports gives it 4/5 predicted owner satisfaction and 5/5 predicted reliability, total score of 82,, side note, they give the 202 BMW 3 Series a score of 63 Cons: - Fuel Economy isn't as good as many competitors, even for models with similar power. - Cargo space is on smaller side. If it's really only 10.5 cu.ft. I haven't a chance to double check and will update such. - Rear seats don't fold down and only have a pass-thru (is not uncommon, but nice to have folding option) - There must be more, but not coming to me now.. I'll update this as I recall. * Hope to get a driving test drive review on this to follow up with those features and dynamics. Fuel Economy: in Canada ... 3.3L Twin Turbo : City: 14.1 L/100kms (16.7 mpg) - Hwy. 9.5 L/100kms (24.8 mpg) - Comb'd: 12 L/100kms (19.6 mpg) 2.0L T AWD Model: City: 11.4 L/100kms (20.6 mpg) - Hwy. 8.6 L/100kms (27 mpg) - Comb'd: 10.2 L/100kms (23 mpg) IIHS Report: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/...

My General Take on this All New 2021 Chevy Trailblazer ? I like it's Cool Aggressive Front End. Modern Side and Rear End. Nice Looking CUV ! It's an In-between Size Vehicle. Smaller that like a Kia Sportage or Chevy Equinox, but Larger than a Honda HRV or Chevy Trax. I like this Size. Features I forget to mention: * 7" Infotainment w/4 Speaker Stereo System in Base Base Model, then 6 Speakers system in LT Trim & Above.. and 8" Screen w/7 Speaker Bose System in Option. Pckg. * Express Up/Down Driver window.. Express Down for all others. * Adaptive Cruise Control is Also an option in a Pckg. Pros and Cons; Pros: - Good Exterior Looks - Subjective - Interior Is Modern Design too and Looks Nice. - Good Cabin Size front and rear. - Good Size Cargo for it's Size and Versatile. - Good Infotainment System. - Power seems like it'll be more than adequate or adequate (depending on engine). - GM's Lane Keep Assist works well, from past testing. Not sure about their Emergency breaking... but I believe it's on the o.k. side from other tests. - Fuel Economy seems decent. Not as Good as some could be, but for it's size and weight, it's on the decent side.. if not way off in real world - Good Ground Clearance for a CUV. Cons: - Interior Materials are actually o.k... but a wee bit better would have been nice and competitive. - Windows seem a bit small and higher door panel. - With name like Trailblazer, I'd like to see a locking center dif., instead of just a turn switch for turning on a "on demand" type awd. - Have to pay a pretty penny for the top trim to get all the bling bling and for what you get.. This price range for highest trim and only have a 1.3L engine ?... and soso awd system ? But I hope to get it out on a test drive to report on that.

Thanks for Watching ! Please Like and Subscribe and Grow with Me. :-) * I've watched other reviews to learn more about this car, and it seems that it's Awesome ! Awesome Power ! Awesome Handling ! Awesome Engine/Muffler Sound ! Awesome Rev. Match Shifts w/Auto Tranny ! Awesome Fun Drivers Car ! But, It's Not Perfect ! As every car. It's built as a Sports Car, yes, but for it's price, I think it could be more luxurious and sports car all in one. It does have some Lux features, oh yah, but could have more. I always believe the smaller cars should cost less than larger cars of similar types, except for size. This is a $100K car in Canada. Pretty Much almost the same in U.S. It does have all the Techy Saftey stuff, though I noticed the emergency braking stuff seems to only work up to 35 mph (56 kph). That's slower then most other brands ! Thumbs Down !! Carbon Fiber this and that is cool.. Yah, I get it... Makes the car lighter, thus faster and helps with Fuel Economy!. For the Price, I'd rather get the M4 or Loaded 3 Series for the more interior cabin space, Personally. * Anyways, Pretty Awesome Driving Machine, I'm sure it is !! IIHS Report: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/... NHTSA Report: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2020/BM...

Sum Up: I Really Like it's overall design, shape, interior cabin design and looks, position of buttons and stuff... Not perfect, mind you, but pretty good. * Has Carbon Fiber Drive-shaft ! Cool ! It has so many trims and variations to custom the trim to your liking. Wow, both Engine Options are Very Fast !! for their respective competing rivals... and Decent Fuel Economy for such power. A Very Cool Car ! Pros and Cons: Pros: - POWER ! - Handling ! - Interior Design and Looks ! - Overall Interior Cabin Size is Good for it's Class ! - Fit and Finish Looked Good to Me. - Lots of Options to Customize Cons: - Fully Loaded Does Get in to BMW M550i Price range... So.... ? ? - No Power Steering wheel adjustment - Don't believe it has Emergency Braking Feature at all. Just warning and all the other techy features... I'll Update this..

** Thanks to Clarington Nissan in Bowmanville, Ontario, for Their Part in Making this Video Review Possible ** I Cover & Point Out Many Features Thru-out the Video, Including Written Notes as I Speak, So Grab a Coffee & Stay Tuned to the End ! :-) My Overview on this Vehicle - Pricing Further Down * In Short, it's a very good Size SUV/CUV for folks who want on the compact size. Smaller than a CRV, but Bigger than a Nissan Kicks, Kia Soul. * Good Headroom Front/Rear & Good Cargo w/flexible storage options. * It's a Well Thought out layout, practical use of space * Nice materials, fit and finish seems just fine * Very comfy seating, for it's class/category * Lots of Std. Features. Including the Safety Related features ! * It's fuel efficiency is Very Good ! ** Consumer Reports has it as a 5/5 Score for Predicted Reliability !! * One Con for me is not having a Turbo or larger/more power engine option, for those of us that care/want that power. * I don't have any driving dynamics for you yet, as I'll be taking it out in a week. But my wife did rent one once, and I did test drive it a year ago (no video), and I recall it's not very fast. It's enough power for most people to get around from point A to B just fine. I'd like to have seen, at least 10HP and 10 lb.ft. of torque more,. Just a bit to give it bit more get up and go, for when it's loaded up and weighed down. Perhaps if it had like a 2.5L engine. * Go Test Drive it. It seems like a great option to consider !! Fuel Economy: S - FWD - Manual Tranny: 8.2 L/100 kms Hwy.

Overall, I love it. Why ? Mostly, I think it looks so Cute !! Attractive Little thing ! But, it also is Comfy, with Good All around cabin size, for its size. More Pros and Cons. Pros: - Always Good Value of Std. Features thru-out trim levels, from Hyundai - Good Materials and fit and finish for this category - 2.0L is Adequate power and Good Fuel Economy. - 1.6L Is More Power than anyone can ask for in this size of vehicle ! w. low to mid 6 secs. 0-60mph and little over 15 secs for 1/4 mile. I assume in real life, I'll get approx 1 sec. slower times (as usual). - Looks Great.. Oh I said that already ? - Crash Test Score is "Top Safety Pick" - Upper Trims have Good Headlamp lighting. - Oh, AWD System is Great on Hyundai vehicles !! Thumbs Up !! - Handling !! on Ultimate Trim w/235 wide tires, Should be fun to zoom around corners Cons: - Forward Collision Assisted Braking is not Std on lower trims. - Lower Trim has Poorer score for it's Headlamps Beam Projection - Center Console/Armrest thing is too far back. - No Rear Heating/Cooling vents (not thru the center console, anyways) Not really that big of deal in this smaller category of vehicles.

Overall, It looks Like an Awesome Sports Sedan !! Can't wait to get it on the Road ! Look Out for that Road Test Review ! Apparently, I'm hearing GM is claiming this is suppose to compete with BMW M3401, Audi S4 & AMG C43, but I Disagree. Not sure why they would choose to compare it to those ? This is over 192" long, so it's a Mid-sized Sports Sedan, like the BMW 5 series, and Audi S5, Acura TLX and like a Kia Stinger. ... So I say Compare it to these size of Sports Sedans. Pricing: The V Trim (Top Performance Trim) - $71K + Canadian w/Mostly Every Option.. Except for Few. There's always more options with GM vehicles. But Starts at: $50K as a RWD and the AWD Base is: $52K and Non- "V" trims, start as low as $40K (2.0L Turbo) goes up and up from there depending on Trim, packages, can be with 3.0L Twin Turbo as wel, and so on. * You Really Got to Get UP There in Price, to Get Safety Tech Features, Etc.. Etc.. So this V Trim will cost as much as a BMW 640i, when both fully loaded.. Again, it's not a 3 Series competitor ! Fuel Economy: ... for the 3.0L Twin Turbo V Trim RWD Model: City: 13.1 L/100kms (18mpg) - Hwy. 9.1 L/100kms (26 mpg) - Comb'd: 11.3 L/100kms (21mpg) AWD Model: City: 13.8 L/100kms (17mpg) - Hwy. 9.4 L/100kms (25 mpg) - Comb'd: 11.8 L/100kms (19.9mpg) There's no IIHS report on this car yet.

Overall, It's a pretty cool compact CUV/SUV. It's worth putting on your list to go see, if the $ range is in your budget. Pricing: Base Lux. FWD - $39K .. Plus Options. Premium Lux AWD - $46L.. Plus Options. Sport AWD - $46K .. Plus Options... Which fully loaded reaches $58K Plus Taxes (Still some option items available). Fuel Economy: FWD Model: City: 9.8 L/100kms (24 mpg) - Hwy. 7.8 L/100kms (30 mpg) - Comb'd: 9.8 L/100kms (26.4 mpg) AWD Model: City: 10.9 L/100kms (21.5mpg) - Hwy. 8.2L/100kms (29 mpg) - Comb'd: 9.7 L/100kms (24 mpg) Pros and Cons. Pros: - Has FWD for Base Model & Upper 2 Trims are AWD (In Canada, that's good). - All Around Good in many areas. Maybe not great in many either, but good. - Style and Design, and Fit and Finish Seem Good. - Comfy Seats in the Front and Rear. - Well Laid out Dash / Center console, button placements, o.k., easy to reach & navigate. - 6.7" Ground Clearance. Not High, but good enough for Lux. Category. Cons: - Many Features you may want are spread out over various packages, forcing/making final price to get the ones you may care about, up to the max of the $58K plus taxes range. - Rear Seat is a Wee bit too up-right for me. - Bit more Soft Touch/Lux materials would be nice. But o.k. overall. - Rear Headroom, bit more would have be better for it's category. IIHS REPORT: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/...

Overall, What A COOL CAR !!! I Grew Up Watching Dukes of Hazard, so Love this Sports Coupe the Orange ! Sure, it was a Charger in the T.V. Show, not a Challenger, but Whatever.. They're similar and this one is the 2 Door in Current times. Notes; I haven't driven one yet and hope to soon, for my road test review. Seats are Comfy, and more headroom than Mustang/Camero. More Trunk Space. It's Pretty Much all about a muscle car thing. It's not overly fancy, but it does have options for upgraded interior features, and colour thems, and Leather is avail, etc.. lots of options to customize it to your liking, whether too look fancier or to be a race machine.

As stated in the Video, it's a Great Overall Balanced Luxury Sedan for those who want just that, with good V6 power, and doesn't care about the sporty aspects, as they prefer the comfi-ness that's suppose to come with a Lux. Brand ! Oh Yah, there's a ES300H (Hybrid Electric) Featuring a highly efficient 2.5L Atkinson cycle Gasoline Engine and Electric Motor, the ES 300h produces 215 Net HP. With its new Hybrid control computer, ES hybrid creates a smooth, responsive and engaging driving experience and exceptional fuel efficiency ratings of 5.5 L/100km City* and 5.2 L/100km Highway*, plus extremely low emissions.

What to say ? It's F'n (as in Freakin, of course) Gorgeous !! Don't know much about it, to get into too many Pros and Cons, but I'll list a few I may be aware of, IMHO. Note, I was saying I love the Saddle Brown, which I do (not my favorite), but by the end and sitting in it more, the Nostalgia was gone & started to look like overkill... thus my notes in the video. Re: the model at the show it had the Sport Package, which includes: PERFORMANCE PACKAGE.. In No Apparent Category Order. - 8-way Power Adjustable Drivers Seat - 21" Forged Aluminum Alloy Wheels - Alcantara Head Liner - Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Scuff Plates - Sport Seats - Torsen Limited Slip Differential - 4 Wheel Active Steering - VGRS ( Variable Gear Ratio Steering ) - Carbon Fibre Roof .. I guess this replaces the Glass Roof Std. model has - Active Rear Spoiler - Alcantara & Leather Seats - Michelin Tires (They Don't mention specifics in spec sheet..Dummies, but I mention it in the review) Pros: - Awesome Design. So Sexy Baby !! - Very Comfy Seating ! - Lots of Tech Features in Many Areas That lower level cars don't have - Apparently it Sounds Freak'n Amazaing ! Cons; - Price, Well it's Pretty Pricey IMHO... Sport Pck is $117K Canadian $ - Dash design w/plastic cover thing is Ugly, I think. what the heck ? - 2 Way Lumber Support Only - a $50K Kia Stinger can beat it in 0-60 & 1/4 Mile !! By a Hair-ish.. Ha. - Other Reviews say it's Shifts & Steering is Not $100K car Pricing, in Canadian $: Std. Model: $103K w/ Sport package: $117K NHTSA Report: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/LE...

I Hope You guys watch it all.. I always add notes about features thru out the video, so in the time frame, I give tons of details (a few corrections).. so, it could take longer to get it all in, if pause to soak up what I've noted and hear all that I am saying, but again, lots of info is in the video. To Sum Up: It's a pretty cool Sports Coupe !! For it's Category, i don't think anyone would be sad to open their garage door to this. Few Pros and Cons Pros: - Power from both 3.0L Twin Turbos !! .... No 2.0L Turbo in Canada ! - Fuel Economy is o.k. for the Power ! - Comfortable Seats, and Gorgeous too ! - Good Front Interior Cabin Size - Handling is Suppose to be Great (from other reviews I've seen) - Well Laid out Dash Design, w/Hard use buttons for Key Features - Emergency Braking is Std. (as it is in most cars now) Cons: A- Ride Comfort is Not the Softest (as per other reviews), but how could it with 30 & 35 sidewall Run Flats !! Big Thumbs Down for me !! Cause if not taking it to the track weekly, why wouldn't you want a cool daily drive with a lux and comfy ride ? Right ? B - -No Cooled Seats (in Canada, not sure if it has in Southern States U.S.A.) C - No Lumbar on Vertical part : Sub-Section C2: (but really tall folks can't sit there, so I guess that's not needed then). - No thigh Extender (See Sub-Section C2) ... haha - No Heads Up Diplay (not a big Con), but cool to have. - Little more Headroom for the rear, just a bit more would have been nice - No RWD for those who want it. I like AWD, but it should be an option.. Same for Kia Stinger, only awd in Canada. - Not a SUV, but wee bit more cubby space, as we all could use it. - Didn't see any vents in front skirt to cool the front brakes. - Price, I believe it's a bit high, but I think that of all these upper brands... Especially, after now owning a Kia Stinger and see what they did with that, and it's quality, luxury features, power, for the price... but the Stinger may be considered bit under priced, with how good it is... That said, this Q60 is priced o.k. compared to it's Rivals. * it has some adaptive steering feature (suppose to learn you and adaptive to different terrain you may be driving on) and assists you, make it bit easier.. and the steering wheel, apparently is not Mechanically attached to the wheels, being some electronically controlled thing... Hmm.. I don't Like it.. Seems like it'll not give you the best driver feedback and I think most of us want to truly be in full feel and control of our car, especially a sports car !!.. So I'm going to put that as a Con ! No IIHS Report on this specific model No NHTSA Report re: Crash testing on this. But little other info. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2020/IN...

Lots of Info is Covered ! Please watch to the end. - Correction, around 30 sec. mark I say Tiger nose "option" but meant to say "Design" * Thanks Again to Kia Motors Clarington !! Check Them Out !! Overall, What a Really Nice Lux Designed Sporty Sedan ! Must Test Drive ! Pros and Cons; Pros: - Exterior design is nice (Subjective) - Interior is very Elegant and Comfortable Seats, Sweet ! - Well Place buttons for every day use. - Quality Materials, fit and finish - Decent cabin size all around (not the roomiest, but good) - Infotainment system works really well. - Base model is even very well stacked with features Cons: - Odd thing that AWD is not an option for the Top more powerful engine Trim. * Most it's competitors are FWD, but Odd here, because lower trims in K5 are AWD. - Heated/Cooled seats can't turn on with the remote start (due to toggle switch design) - I believe head room could be just a bit more for front seats (for taller drivers), but this is common in many of it's rival brands/models - Rear seats have a pull release from trunk, but they don't spring down, but the do detach, and they will easily fold if push them with something, like skis - Synthetic leather in top trim, well its common now a days, but would prefer real leather. since it breathes.

View Part 1, with walk around & interior features: https://rumble.com/vhymbd-2019-2020-hyundai-santa-fe-2.0l-turbo-features-and-specs.html So, In general I love the SUV for a great balance of how well it performs and it's practicality of design and use of space, real touch buttons and aesthetics in and out...But I just not sure I can get past the So So Power (signs of inconsistency in this as well) and it's so so fuel economy. , I personally want a strong and consistent power when I ask for it (especially if the car is weighted down with family & stuff). - * If you're not Too picky Like me and adequate Power/fuel is enough and not a big deal to be leading in these two arers for you, then check this one out. You'll Love it Overall !! It's Truly a Great Balanced SUV !! ** Techy Safety Type features come std. starting with the Preferred trim and up, but are Available as an option on the Base Essentials trim. Android auto and Apple carplay is std. on all trims. - The Cross traffic alert is cool, note it doesn't have the brake assist options. (many do not, Subaru's do) - - IIHS Tests says it's forward collision mitigation system can bring the car to a stop & avoid colliding, when both tests done from 12mph & 25mph. That's a bonus ! Some car models will still hit the car in these tests. - Note, forward collision braking system is great for cars, but is not designed to detect pedestrians... just a fyi... but it works good for larger objects.. - Lane keep assist system works very well !!! but if you turn off the driver awareness feature.. that works oddly in a counter - safety way, cause it disengages the lane keep assist after couple times of helping you... not sure what's up with that ?!! - Adaptive cruise control works well and will come to a complete stop and go again. - AWD System truly is Awesome, mainly cause of the locking center diff., giving true awd torque to all wheels. turn off traction control and push thru or up almost anything. - voice recognition navigation works very well ! - Overall Ride comfort, handling is good for it's class. - Interior Cabin space is very good, with great balance of Headroom, Legroom, Hiproom and cargo space.

Here: https://rumble.com/vhymd1-2019-2020-hyundai-santa-fe-2.0l-turbo-road-review.html Also, the 2020 is pretty much the same, no real changes worth mentioning, as per the sales guy. Key Notes. Price: From $29K for base 2wd, up to $45K top of the line trim. Power: 235HP and 260 Lb.F torque Fuel Ratings: City 12.3L/100 kms (19mpg) Hwy. 9.3L/100 kms (25.25mpg) Comb. 11.2L/100kms (21mpg) Real world is likely closer to 15mpg city (turbo will work harder if you drive heavier than average) and may reach 29030mpg on hwy. - Drives very nice overall and is very comfy and spacious with lots of storage. - has a Great AWD system, w/locking center diff. - turbo acceleration seems a bit inconsistent. - I couldn't get 0-100kms/hr less than 8.3 sec. at best - 50-70mph (80k-115kms/hr passing test at mid 5's sec. (decent, but sub-par to many of it's competitors in it's class). - rear shade things seem to be std on all trims. - Headlamps are not adaptive to curving.. not really a big deal. - 12 speaker system on Ultimate model - Very nice infotainment system. - Nice to have lots of hard buttons that are well placed and good size to navigate. - Lane keep assist is very good (but driver awareness thing set on high sensitivity, seems to disengaged the lane deep assist for some reason, and it'll then allow you to cross the lines. turn it off or try lowering that to low sensitivity. - Adaptive Cruise Control works well and Can even bring the car to a stop and work in stop & go traffic ! I wouldn't use it that way. - Passenger in higher trims, has 8 way power setting, not 6 (cool) - voice recognition navigation works very well ! ** Techy Safety Type features come std. starting with the Preferred trim and up, but are Available as an option on the Base Essentials trim. Android auto and Apple carplay is std. on all trims. Also, see these links below for more information. - Safety techy stuff is avail. from 2nd level trim and higher Example, IIHS test report. This vehicle has highest rating (Bonus) & is tested to be able to come to a stop up to 24mph test for forward collision mitigation braking. Thumbs Up to that ! https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/...

Hey Folks. This is my first video on this channel. I'm not Chef or Pit Master, just a regular Stavros (Greek Joe). Haha. Here I will be using Chicken thighs (boneless-skinless) for what we can call a modified Greek Kebab. I'll be cooking it over wood burning fire in a Firebrick B.B.Q. System. Today, just throwing some seasoning ideas in the mix and going for it. Cooking this way, is a slow b.b.q. way and meat usually comes out more tender & juicy as opposed to the regular Souvlaki on a regular grill. If anyone want info on this firebrick type b.b.q. or portable kind, check out my friend Adonis at: https://rotisseriebbqs.ca/ He does ship across North America.

* Honestly, I believe this is the BEST Sports Sedan on the planet !! * For the Money * Repeat, for the Money ! It doesn't hands down win in any specific category, but it does ALL of them so well, it's the Best Balance Winner !!! *** Even Car and Driver has stated "Kia built a better BMW for less" * Note, This is a On the Fly Test Drive & Review. Not Planned, but a Short Drive. - There's a 2nd Stinger car drive as part of this Video Review. I Do cover lots of stuff, but not all. * Thanks Again to Durham Kia in North Oshawa, Ontario !! * O.k. Lets Go.... * Short Take: It's more than a Direct Competitor to any Fancy brand/Model up to $20K more price range, but not so much when get up to the $30-$50K higher price ranges... Which Says A Lot !! Wow. Pros & Cons Pros: - Well Built and Have Executed a Great Sports Sedan ! - Power, for both engine models, for their class/competition ! - Handling, truly is Very Good and Sporty ! - AWD Is Great. No RWD in Canada - Electronic Suspension Dampening / Drive Mode System is Great ! - Ride comfort is on the Good side, for it's category and handling characteristics ! - Interior Quality and Design is Really Classy, Practical Lay-out/Real Button placement & Pretty - Exterior, Well, Just SEXY Baby !! - Memory Seats Syncs, Seats (multi-position & thigh extender), power steering wheel, side mirrors, HUD position(Limited trim) & Instrument Cluster Settings !! - Large Sun-roof (has Sensors to Stop if senses an object causing resistance) ! - Cargo Space ! - Lane keep assist, Forward Breaking Systems Work Well, better than most ! - L.E.D. Lighting Thru-out Vehicle - Brembo Brakes in GT Trims - Actual Spare tire in Canada models. - IIHS Top Safety Pick+ So So: - Seats to be a Wee bit more comfy (as I'm used to our legacy), but they are better than many sports sedans, but not as comfy as some Higher end ones. - Outward forward Visibility is O.k., but so so in the rear, but better than sports cars like Mustang/Camaro, others. - Headlamps on Limited are Rated Adequate (instead of Good from IIHS), even though it has the Adaptive Curve ones. Cons: - Fuel Economy is Lower than most it's competitors (though it does blow the doors off some of them). - Remote Start UVO thing can't turn on the Heated Seats (in Canada ?) - Rain Sensor Wipers (limited trim), Sucks ! These, like most cars don't work well in snow at all, and also so so in rainy days !! Just Give us our Time delay options. We can handle selecting our preference !! Stop Forcing Stupid Tech on us !! - Would be nice to have RWD option in Canada, allowing folks that choice. - Foot Room rear passengers (leg room is fine, but low front seats restrict space for Feet). Prices: in Canada... Oddly is better than U.S. Prices. Base: 2.0L Turbro AWD - $40K 3.3L TT GT AWD - $45K 3.3L TT GT Limited AWD: - $50K See Website for features and specs: https://www.kia.ca/vehicles/stinger/o...

Be on the Look Out for the Full and Individual Road & Interior Features Reviews on Each of These.... Coming Soon to a youtube Near You ! Thanks Again For Watching. Please Like and Subscribe !! General Comments: Murano is the Nicer Lux Feature Vehicle. Unless you're very tall, it's has the more Roomy & Comfy Interior. If you don't require lots of cargo space and more of a daily driver for family (No Regular Camp. Trips, etc..), or it's for business (like a Realtor), then it's a Great Better Choice.. It has very good power, thus can handle extra weight of passengers better, and has decent fuel economy for it's power. Has low ground clearance for a sub, so not really off road worthy.. very light back road type. Rogue is Nice but Not as Lux interior. Has Better Front Seat Headroom for Really Tall Drivers. More Cargo room for Busy Families, Out-doorsie, Packing lots of stuff, etc.. w/Versatile Cargo area/options. It's not as powerful as the Murano, not even close, but it's super good in fuel economy.... Note, if you have large family and pack lots of stuff the lack of power will be a negative when the vehicle is loaded up with passengers and cargo. has decent ground clearance and locking center diff., makes is reasonably off road worthy, w/limits of course. Lots of difference. Good ? or Bad ? That's up to your personal preferences, to decide. Let me know what you think in the comment section below.

Please Watch the Road Test Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkQJv... OK. So.. Here's more info not in the video: Prices: in Canada Base Preferred Model - $38,300 - Includes: 2.5L engine, 18" wheels, Heated steering wheel, heated front seats, Cruise Control, Android auto and apple carplay, power cloth seats, and more Essence Trim - $42,300 Includes: 2.5L engine, 18" wheels, leather seats, heated rear seats, rear cross traffic alert, and more Premium 1 - $45,400 Includes: 2.0L turbo engine, 9 speed auto tranny, 19" wheels, Forward Collision Alert only, Lane keep assist, 7 Bose system Premium 2 - $49,300 -Includes: just the option to get (Forward Brake A Adaptive Cruise Control & surround view camera), Heads Up Display, Cooled front seats, park assist, says it has manual adjust thigh support on drivers seat, wireless charging. ** To get safety braking, adaptive cruise, pano sunroof etc.. it gets up to $53,000... not including their destination charges...!! * My take on it ..... At first, I get a wow, what a sweet and comfy lux feeling ride.. Nice Vehicle. and it really is nice in general. With it's very comfy seats, comfy ride, very decent handling, and classy looks inside and out.... Has lots of the techy stuff, etc. etc... - Lane keep assist works well. BUT, Then I notice all the negatives you here about in the video above and the interior/walk around video part 2 of for this car. You do get lots of stuff, but some you have to pay top trim to get,and others are still extra costs and some are not even available in this vehicle, to compete with it's class. Like. No Memory Side Mirrors w/seat settings -Side Mirrors Don't Angle Down in Reverse -Headlamps are Not Directional -No Auto Highbeam Assist.. until Top trim 2 -Not Quietest Cabin, Especially for it's class -Lesser Headroom than Most -No Express Up on Any Passenger Windows -Adaptive Cruise & Forward Brake Assist, Pano sunroof Only in Top Trim as OPTION !!! Extra costs !! - Stereo is just o.k. -Most Cool Features are in Premium Trim Levels only. * So, Almost Acura RDX prices to get this Buick without some normal features that even lower class vehicles have, and this one doesn't ?? * And w/So So power (real world to the wheels, not just on paper), and So So Fuel Economy ?? Hmm.... ** Especially since they saved $$ to build it in China ??? Then Over Price it back in North America ?? ** *** UPDATE*** I Prefer the New 2020 Subaru Outback over this. I just Test Drove it Couple days ago. Very Nice comfy ride, and Has pretty much all the Features a Comfy Lux Feel Vehicle should have, and it's More Powerful, Better on Fuel, and a Real Good AWD System. I'm not trying to attack this SUV, cause it is very very nice ! Just saying, it's missing stuff and the Price should reflect that. **Just a Bit Overpriced for What You Get or Don't Get !! - IMHO. Below links to IIHS & NHTSA websites for more info on Crash testing and complaints, etc. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/... https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/BU...

So, I wish I could speak of the BRZ with haven Driven it. I'll make what points I think are fair, of which I kind of said in the video, if you watched it all. I'll say, I did test drive a Toyota 86 2.5 years ago (being basically the same thing) and I have to say, it was fun to drive. The engine sound comes thru like you're driving a mini Ferrari, but without the Power. It revs high and is a response drive and good handling little Roadster. To repeat, engine sounds comes thru, loud. I dont think it's because of poor cabin noise levels, but because it was designed for the driver to really hear the engine. So you gotta love hearing the engine, well when you're driving aggressively more than when not. Its a pure drivers Car, for sure !! Thumbs up for that ! Pros and Cons Pros: - Cool and Sporty Fun to Drive Roadster Cons: - Needs more power to complete the car the designers started, but failed to complete. Not that it doesn't have adequate power, cause it does and it's zippy.. But it's overall design, chassis, handling, looks, etc., are for a compact sports car, and such needs bit more power. Even the WRS non-sti is faster than this. IIHS report: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/... NHTSA Report for 2019, in case of any recall info: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/SU...

So, sum up the driving dynamics of this car. Overall, great. It rides very smooth and comfy. It really handles just fine (not really sporty) but just fine. Engine isn't too noisy like Honda crv or the new Rav4.. 6 Cyl is more refined and more powerful and worth the cost of fuel for it, if you love to drive and want great passing power. V6 avrg. 10.3L/100 kms (23mpg) if don't have a lead foot. & 8.1L/100kms-Hwy (29mpg), That's pretty good for a car that can do 0-60 7 sec. and 1/4mile in low 15's & 50-70mpg passing test in 4.5 sec. V6's Rock... Great choice w/Great Safety Features, and always has High collision test awards... We'd buy it again.... Please subscribe and follow and grow with me as I add more car reviews. .
