Ok I just picked up mine today... at MSRP, used but practically new at 300 miles. Apparently the first owner got it, got buyer's remorse and traded in for a rav4. God bless him, I'm having a heck of a time. It's a white loaded core model, has basically everything I could ask for, plus extended comprehensive warranty.

I'm a hard-core car guy so obviously I watch a lot of car stuff. I also watch reviews that are more into details. But I like that you guys are doing your style car videos. A break from the norm. I would have a hard time buying this too with markup but can appreciate what it is for sure.
@MrBetaKiller100 5 ай бұрын
Now they are becoming more readily available at MSRP, at least in my area. Blue Flame circuits seem to be a bit more rare and I am picking mine up this weekend with a small markup (~2k) but I''ve been waiting since the car was announced to get one so I'm more than happy with that. Core's and Premiums in my area seem to listed with little to no markup though, and those with markups seem to not be selling.

Markets are flooded with empty money that people didn't earn. At catalogue retail price the demand is higher than the supply, so the price increases. If prices are law restricted, you end up with no cars to buy at all, 2 year queues or full package variants only available. There's no way around the market laws, which is what we all should already know after the pandemic period.

Gone over the intake system a bit more, is it naturally aspirated, turbo, compressor? And just in general actually go over things. He just pointed out that there is an engine and it gets air from a hole. Amazing.

This is the reason why I still keep my 1998 Ford Escort ZX2. It has a feeling of connectedness to the road that newer cars just can't emulate. A feeling of solidness and mass, yet being extremely nimble and quick. Being able to feel the engine deliver all of its 130 horses in a short-ratio gearbox, without the police down your back. That is what makes driving fun. Being one with the machine, not just riding inside of it.

I'd say that if you are talking about them going way over MSRP i can't agree. I do agree that it's both a bad thing and extremely damaging to both brands and consumers. However, it's very much the flip side of us all beating them up to way under invoice for years. It sucks but it ain't shady or a surprise unfortunately. Now if you're talking switching orders, forcing products, etc i 100% agree.

my first car was a 3-cylinder Hyundai Getz, a small and quirky car that was quicker than it looked and the roar it made when you really stepped on it, was so much fun! I've had multiple cars since then and my latest, is actually a return to what I have missed. A Hyundai i20 N-line, the Getz's replacement, with rally inspiration. It has 100hp on 3-cylinders and a roar like no freaking other, it is just a ton of fun and I can heartily recommend it! (and if you have the money, go for the i20 N instead, for the 200hp model and even more fun) I have driven faster and "smarter"/"cooler" looking cars, but they honestly weren't anywhere near as much fun in daily driving. My i20 N-line is fun at all speeds, whether it be 50 or 150kmph+.
