Hey Friends, So here's my 2nd BBQ video. I'm trying mixing typical seasoning w/3 Diff. BBQ sauces and taste comparison. This time it cooked in 2 hours. I recommend for this thick of Meat, to try and keep heat a bit lower thru out, and 2.5 hrs would have been better. All TASTY Baby ! OPA ! Please Rumble and Subscribe. Comment and Engage in Chat, suggestions, etc.

My First time out to a drag strip. Tons of Fun !! Raced various cars, but mostly really fast stuff, tuned, suped up, etc.. Not too many like I was hoping, like more mustangs, scat paks, camero's, bmw, audi's (referring to stock one).. that would have been more fair to compare my Stinger too.. But the Strip was slow today and not many people there (due to just opening up from lockdowns and not many likely knew it was open and restricted numbers. I look forward to going again and having more direct comp. to run against. Mayb be going to Shannonville this Fiday and if do, will make more runs and 2nd Video. Stay Tuned ! Like & Subscribe !!

Just Enjoying a 180 Degree Curve off ramp at about 84 Kph (approx. 52mph), Coming of a 100 kph (63mph Hwy.).... Weeeee.... :-) :-) .. No Tires Squeeling w/my Winters Sport Tires (Nexen Wiinguard Sport 2)... Can't wait to try it with my Factory Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. :-) in the Summer. UPDATE: W/my Factory Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, I managed this Curve with a Low to Mid 90's Kph (mid to high 50's Mph) at top end Before Braking ! ! That's Dang Good Grip Baby ! ! ! Could I do it a bit faster ? I haven't tried yet. P.S., The Main photo is a Generic Photo of a Stinger on a track.

I touch on Many areas, so please watch all. Tons to know. * Correction, it seems the SX Trim's Rear Seats Backrests Have a 2nd Bit Lowered Position ** Thanks Again to Kia Motors Clarington **. PRICES - Canadian $ $ LX FWD - $23,095.00 LX AWD - $25.095.00 EX AWD - $27,695.00 EX Premium - $30,695.00 SX Turbo - $32,695.00 https://www.kia.ca/vehicles/seltos202... ** Overall, I believe it's a very well laid out design with a great balance of size, comfort seats, comfort ride, many features std., good placement of all the every day use buttons, practical use of space. Bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Kia, always good value for the $$. Few Con Points: No Memory Seats - I'd like to see memory seats as an option in upper trims of all models Express Up Window - Should have this at least for the front passenger side No Cargo Cover on Lower Trims - It's odd to not have this basic thing, even in lower trims Really can't think of many cons in this model. - More Links from IIHS Crash Test & Info.

As Promised, a More Detailed Review of the Murano. This is a bit on the long side, but I do Cover Lots of Stuff Folks. ,,I Hope, if You're Really Interested in this One, You''ll Grab a Coffee/Tea & Stay Tuned in. * Please Comment Below if You Like this Vehicle ? will put on your list to go test drive ? What you don't like about it ? * CORRECTION: To Clarify, the 2019 Murano Does have the Forward Collision Warning & Braking Standard, but the added "Pedestrian Detection feature that is not Avail. Until the Platinum Trim. And this added feature is now std. in the SV Trim for 2020. * Pricing Info Further Down. * Here's My General Feedback, followed by My "Pros & Cons" * Overall, I do actually like this SUV Very Much. It's has a great balance of all the categories. Most folks just want a decent vehicle in general and don't care about the best sporty drive like a Porsche Cayenne. A good all around quality vehicle. ** On My Short List for Sure !** Pros: - Forward Collision Warning/Braking is Std. - V6 Power (some have more) but here it's more than enough. - Fuel Economy w/this power is very decent in it's class. - Ride Comfort is Top Notch ! Period ! - Seating comfort Front/Back is Top Notch ! - Techy Infotainment System & the LCD Screen in the Dash are very Intuitive and Lots of info/options they can do and you can set up preferences. Easy to navigate to widgets and find POI, is better than other vehicles. - Cabin has Luxury touches and finishes (Platinum trim even better) - Cabin Noise is on the Low side (Good Side). - Memory Seats/Mirrors (and w/power steering wheel, in Platinum trim) - Back to power, Low & Hwy ranges are good, - AWD system automatically powering all 4's on acceleration from a stop/cornering is good for traction. - Seat height from the ground is good for sliding right in. - NO auto engine stop/start thing (I think it's a pro, cause I don't like it). - LOTS of Normal Hard use buttons for Everyday used features !! - It has the Remote Start w/climate system setting the hot/cold air setting according to the weather conditions. SoSo: - Handling.. It's adequate, and not a con cause it's decent and it's subjective to what people prefer. but bit better would be nice for Emergency maneuvers are better, with better handling (usually) - 4 way power on passenger side, would be better if was 6 way (up/down added). - Ground Clearance, personally, I just believe all SUV should have min. 7" or more. this one has 6.9".. so, if never going down trails or that, and are just road driver, it's not an issue at all, why it makes the slide into your seat, a good height. - Adaptive cruise would of been nice to at least be in SL Trim. Cons: - Doesn't have the locking center diff anymore. I believe it had it in previous years. It's great for deeper snow/going up steep hills in winter.. but many don't have that anymore... Not really a Big Con, but since it used to have it, why take away a good thing. they have it in the Rogue, I believe. - Cargo space is bit less than some of it's competitors (but adequate) - Lane departure warning and prevention system is on the weak side from it's competitors (if you care about using that feature). - Headlights are not as bright as they could be/compared to others. - I don't like when they have 2 interior colours, but they choose which matches the exterior, instead of having both, so consumer chooses.. not really a con against the vehicle, but Nissan (other brands do the same). * If want a great comfy ride for a LONG Road trip, this is Great ! *Pricing*Approx. S Trim - FWD - $ 33K SV Trim-AWD - $ 40K SL Trim-AWD - $ 43K Platimum AWD - $ 46K More Good To Know Info, for Your Reference: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/... https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/NI... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-QWj...

My General Overview Opinion, Pros & Cons I Like it Overall. It's a nice comfort riding small SUV, with good handling, Decent Power, some Nice features thru-out. Lane Keep assist system works well and better than other brand/models. Not Sure it wins my heart to be the one I buy, cause I have my personal preference. It's worth a look and test drive, if you're in the Market for this Category ! * It's good Value for the Price ! Pros: - It's a nice & sporty handling & comfy ride. Thumbs Up ! - Comfy Seats & nice cabin soft touch ares/design. - Both Engines are Adequate or better for power - Cabin area is more than Adequate for Space & Comfort. Thumbs Up - Cabin Noise is not too bad. On Average side. - AWD system is Strong and having a locking center Diff is Great !! Thumbs Up. Many brands/models don't offer this and it is a very good awd feature !! - Infotainment system is relatively easy to navigate & lots of real hard touch buttons for various features, is a bonus, IMHO., cause too many screen touch is prone to screen freezing and software issues. So its better for some important features to be hard touch. Thumbs Up ! - Good Crash test results (but not 5 star in all categories) - Pano sunroof is cool - Voice Commands for Navigation is good (couldn't test it, but since same tech as Hyundai has, which I did test, it should be good). - Lane Keep assist and forward Collision test are good. Thumbs Up. - Great Leg and Headroom Front and Back. Thumbs Up. Cons: - Forward collision systems only avail. from EX trim and up. Be nice to be Std. - Fuel Economy is so-so for its class likely due to it being heavier than others in it's class. Partial Thumbs Down ! - Turbo lag a bit more than others it competes with. - Lesser power in mid to upper rpm range, but very Adequate - No memory seats option on any trim level. Thumbs Down ! If you care about that (My wife and I care about that). - Lower Cargo size compared to others in it's class, But it's Plus to have spare room under it's floor for having some Emergency Items stored down there. - Headlamps/Highbeam Distance/Visibility is lower than most in it's class on all trims, even the LED in upper trims. Thumbs Down. - Door handle/armrest has hard plastic right where your elbow would rest when driving holding steering wheel at 7pm spot. - No Aux. input, only usb for media - No 12 volt in cargo area - only 6.4-6.8" Ground clearance, depending on model. That's low for a CUV w/locking center diff. Good enough for everyday all year round conditions, but loses it's off road worthiness a bit due to this, for those who want for adventuring more than just a trail to the cottage.

Overall, I really did like this SUV. It's comfy, Fast, reasonable-good on fuel, for it's Power !!..and one of the best Infotainment systems ! Lots of bells and whistle.. Pricing: From $28.6K range for base up to $44.7K Top Trim. And still lots of features and accessory options available. Fuel Economy: Pretty Decent Fuel Economy for it's Power ! City: 10.9L/100kms (21.5mpg) Hwy.: 8.3L/100kms (28 mpg) Comb. 9.2L/100kms (25.5mpg) That's much better than the Sportage, Wee bit better than CX-5, But less than CR-V or RAV4 (which are also much less power) * Now, the 2020's have the Techy Safety features STD on all levels. * I don't like the engine off/on thing, but it has a bypass (just by chance), so that helps. See the bypass method in this video. Note: Some corrections and further details on the vehicle. - Driving in L mode, by-passes the Engine off/on thing at stops.. Cool. - 252Hp @5500rpm & 260 lb./f torque from 2500-4500 rpm (bit late in the rpm range) - 10 position seating, not 8 (if count the seating tilt angle) -- Rear Cross traffic alert does not have the added brake assist (Subaru's do) - has teen driver app, for recording your teens driving habits & can preset a few things to assist them.. - 6 speed auto tranny in lower the 1.5L engine trims, 9 speed only with the 2.0L Turbo * 2.0L premier has trailer hitch only * 17” Wheels on 1.5L LT’s * 18” Wheels on 1.5L Premier & 19” Wheels on 2.0L ** 2L turbo can tow up to 3,500lbs ! - Tire pressure sensor & reading in all trims from the info centre screen * Fuel Cap doesn't lock & can be opened by anyone. Hmm ? * certain added features like power lift gate, larger infotainment screen, navigation, LED lights, memory seats, etc.. are only as added features or on higher trim, even then, as added package. * 4G LTE Capable * - Head Clearance – more than my whole hand w/No sunroof, Good for it's class. Not so much w/sunroof, as most. - Does Not get IIHS Top Saferty Pick. It's not Bad, but other vehicles have higher score - NHTSA Gives it 5 Star Safety Rating. - Headlamps only receive a moderate score for brightness/visibility score. See IIHS link below.

An Overview: but first, Thanks Again to Durham Kia for the use of the Soul !! So, Here we have a Pretty Cool Little CUV. Overall, I find it to be a Good Quality fit and Finish, Spacious, Comfy Spunky Daily Driver with soft ride, while holding o.k. handling abilities Turbo must be more fun for U.S.A. customers. Too Bad No Turbo option in Canada.. What the Heck Kia Man ?! It's Reg. 2.0L Engine is Adequate and it drives very nice, smooth, comfy... Spacious Cabin for it's Class ! Tons of Features as you go up in Trim levels! Good Fit and Finishes. Has all the techy stuff you'd want and then some. Very Versatile design and layout. Any Negatives Stavros ? - Fuel Economy is o.k. but few competitors have better - No Turbo option in Canada - Turbo has better hwy mileage with is a good thing for the turbo lovers, but a Negative for Canadians, as no Turbo model here. - No AWD options. Not that all competitors do, but would be nice since it's becoming more and more a thing. ** You can view the Walk Around and Features Review, Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d76vgErPDI0&ab_channel=RPMAutoReviews * Note, there is a Electric/Hybrid Version as well, which comes in two trim levels.

Overview: It's a Good Balance of Size, Comfort, Features you Get for the Money. Great Value ! Not just in leather or this or that, but G-Vectoring and in it's engineering. I like that it has a Reg. 6-speed Transmission. No cvt here ! Bonus. Power, 2.5L Engine in U.S.A., is peppy and a bit faster than some of it's Competitors. Interior, generally is Nice and bit on the Lux side for it's Class. Thumbs Up. Though, I believe it's a better Value, Bang for the Buck, in U.S.A. Pricing, than in Canada. I think It's a bit steep in price for Canadian Prices. Safety: Techy Features: - Main ones are standard, but the extra like---- Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with Stop & Go Function Smart Brake Support Front (SBS-F) Pedestrian Detection (forward sensing) Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) ..... Are Only Come w/GT Trim..... Which is O.k. ** From CX-5 Road Test Review, I found Lane keep assist doesn't work as well as other Brands systems. This may have been improved for 2021 ? don't know yet. * Still a Great Choice for it's Category Size/Class. Go Check it Out !! As Usual, Here's more info on it for your Homework: Consumer Reports Gives it a 5/5 on Predicted Reliability Score ! IIHS Testing Results https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/...

I Got my Stinger GT Limited in December 2019 and Had to Get my Winter Rims/Tires Set Up, ASAP, Being in Canada ! * Shout Out to my Friends at Simply Tire, for Hooking me up, with Competitive Pricing ! Thanks Again boys ! ** Let me know what ya'll think of my choices for Rims and the Tires ? I went with the Nexen Winguard Sport 2's, cause they actually have Good Test Scores and beat out many top brand/models on Consumer Reports testing and another European site I found. They're much less $$ than many of the top models it beats in grip performance.

My First Ever Car Review - Oh, note, there's a part two of this review while driving.. link below... So, It's not my best work yet, as I'm getting warmed up and getting the kinks out and learning curves of doing this, but I just jumped right in there... I plan to review with every day general info on cars and their features and if worth buying or not, etc.. I hope you'll subscribe and grow with me my friends.. Here's my first review on my wife's 2018 Subaru Legacy. It is the 2.5L Limited w/EyeSight. If I missed any info in the video, here it is: Price: Base model at $25,000 and up to $37,000 for Limited 3.6L Fully loaded.. Model Tested is $34K msrp. These are all CVT transmissions. Extra techy features, the small middle screen beeps to let you know car in front of you, from a stop position, has proceeded and you haven't (haha), warns you of possible icy roads, if cold out when you start the car,. You can get remote car starter for it Fuel: 2.5L gets avrg. 8.4L/100 kms (28mpg) for us(bit more hwy/than city %. 175HP & 174 Lb-torque. 50-70m acceleration test- 6 secs., so not a fast car, but adequate with the fuel economy this dedicated awd get.... 3.6L can do this passing test in 4.5 sec. ! Overall, it's a great balance for all categories and a car worth buying. We'd buy it again, for the wife.. I'm considering the outback in 3.6 or new 2.4L turbo... Will test drive and review very soon.. Please subscribe and follow and grow with me, my friends... * This model has a CD Player, 12 speakes Harmon & Kardon 576w system. It sounds pretty good.. no real big deep base, but Good and balance sound..... See Part 2 (On road drive and info): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEny2... Few Subi Videos to give you better idea of features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4kbj... https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_co... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbQnc... If Environment is important to you, then see this re: engine: https://www.subaru.ca/WebPage.aspx?We... ** Highest IIHR Crash Test Rated: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/...

So, Overall I'd say it's a Sporty Sedan. I believe it's lacking the Lux. feel a Mercedes would give you. Good Cabin size all around and huge trunk. It's got 3 engine options and trim levels. Each is either adequate or better and much better for Power and retains decent fuel economy for it's class. I know I'm being Biased to my Kia Stinger and it's not the same class level as a Jaguar, but Man, I honestly (as do tons of car specialists) Love my Kia Stinger and Put it's level of Luxury (not highest, but good), Sporty capabilities, style, power, beauty head to head with anything... Even if it loses, it'll be respected.. That said, I believe the German Brands and Lexus types do a better overall job/balance of lux and comfort/power than this jag. Jags road performance has high ratings, but overall, aahh.. just o.k. I can't find more recent IIHS or NHTSA Accident/Recall, Safety Feature Reports on this, Like i always post a link too, sorry.

* Please Watch the full video**I touch on/Show You a few Good Points, Including Lane Keep Assist Abilities, or lack thereof** To sum up this SUV.... As every reviewer on this Vehicle has said, it's really top notch for a sporty, great feeling driving vehicle. Interior is very luxury feeling, above it's direct competitors, for sure. Now with it's turbo option, it's really a great drivers drive ! Is that all that one looks for in a new vehicle ? How about safety ? which it's got highest IIHS rating, so thumbs Up ! How about cabin space ? It's on the smaller side, but overall, it's actually more than adequate, as it has plenty of room for most. Only really Tall & Chunky people will have an issue., so O.k. there too. How about cargo space ? Well, it falls short here, as it's cut design rear end loses lots of cargo space, and with No dedicated hidden cargo area under floor, and small centre console cubby and other cubby's on small side, it's on the lower scale and thumbs down ! How about techy features ? Overall, it's o.k and similar to everyone else, has the ususal stuff.... but the lane keep assist is very poor in this model, so thumbs down. How about Lux features ? it's lux feeling, but doesn't have other lux things, like side mirrors don't save w/memory seats, or curve down when in reverse for parking. - Lumbar support has no up/down setting (most don't) How about Ride Comfort ? Well, it's nice and smooth.. until you hit bumps.. even if you have 18" rims, instead of the 19" in top model, it'll still just be o.k. comfort ride, So thumbs down (exchange for sporty handling). - - Subwoofer in bad spot, which has it's wire run thru the seats and folding armrest leather gets pinched by it.. seems it's hard to move that wire, prolong use of the armrest/cup holders will damage the leather or fabric on it. Top model with subwoofer only. - Center Armrest is way too short.. bothers me.. and the door armrest is narrow side and elbow doesn't reach it as well as I'd like it too. - Fuel Economy for the power it has, is pretty Good ! thumbs up ! * But, overall, I do like it very much and it is on My Short list (top 3, other 2 are the Equinox & Outback)... I hope to make a decision soon ! ** You have to consider other factors and decide for yourself which features are more important to you, and select your vehicle. *** See below links to IIHS tests and other info links for this car.

Please see the Road Drive Review video here: So, to sum up, Pros and Cons" PROS: - Very Cool Sport feel/Handling & driving dynamics ! - Pretty cool looking - Very Lux interior feel, lots of soft touch everywhere.. Nappa leather is awesome soft. - 2.5L is very decent power & Decent fuel economy. - 2.5L Turbo is very smooth and good power, and relatively decent in fuel economy, for it's power. - Forward Braking mitigation system has high score - Adaptive cruise control system - IIHS Top Pick for Safety Rating. !! CONS" - Lane Keep Assist is sub-par. Competitor models have much better working systems - Bumpy ride. I'd push dealer to put 17"wheels on it, they'll do it if you push for it.. if you, like me, like the car, but want a comfy ride - Cargo and little cubby areas are smaller than many in it's class, no tie downs in cargo arera either - No hands free lift gate - Memory seat setting doesn't change the side mirrors - Infotainment system is o.k. to navigate, others are better - I think it's pricey for it's size - No paddle shifter.. not really a con, but would of be cool - Subwoofer in bad spot, which has it's wire run thru the seats and folding armrest leather gets pinched by it.. seems it's hard to move that wire, prolong use of the armrest/cup holders will damage the leather or fabric on it. Top model with subwoofer only.

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... - The Lane Keep Assist works very decently, thumbs up ! 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 !! -Most Cool Features are in Premium Trim Levels only. - Smallest Cargo Area in it's Size Class (not a serious thing, but size matters) - And w/So So power (real world to the wheels, not just on paper), and So So Fuel Economy ?? Hmm... - Torque comes in at 3,000rpm, which is later than Pretty much all it's competitors w/a turbo engine ! - Forward Collision Alert Doesn't seem to work very well, that maybe a calibration fix, or maybe not fixable at all. I'll ask them and reply w/update, if I get one. - Stereo is just o.k. I'm not trying to be mean here, as it's a very nice SUV overall, but just pointing out features, or lack there of, honestly. **Just Overpriced for What You Get or Don't Get !!
