Ranking Every Car I Drove This Year! (2023)
Рет қаралды 7,302
Күн бұрынI'm a car reviewer, and I drove 31 different cars in 2023! (That's shaping up to be a low number compared to 2024, thanks to a huge lineup for @carsandbids. Stay tuned for my next ranking!)
Cars I drove in 2023 include the: Rivian R1T, 991 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge, Toyota Tacoma, Lamborghini Urus, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, RUF RT 12, Lamborghini Huracan STO, Kia EV6 GT, Aston Martin DB9, Nissan Z, Alfa Romeo Giulia, and so much more.
This ranking isn't strictly about the cars - it's also about the experiences I had with them, like taking the Giulia to the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, and whether they met or exceeded my expectations.
I hope you'll join me for the ride! Then like, subscribe, and tell me what you want to see in the future.

I'm so excited to see your future collaborations with Cars and Bids! I love your style of review. There's something warm and true-to-life about factoring in the weather and temperature of the review day into the evaluation of the car. It reminds us that cars are real machines that exist in the world around them, and not just 0-60 figures or styling.

Hi Alanis, I would be curious to hear how your own personal Miata stacks up in a list like that. Because I usually find myself looking forward to driving my own vehicles after driving someone else's, no matter how broken they might be at times. Yet the average person of course doesn't get to experience a lot of outstanding cars like you. I really enjoy your videos, not only are you presenting the content very well but also your overall positivity really brightens up any day. Thank you and best wishes from the land of the autobahn!
@AlanisKing 4 ай бұрын
This is such a good point - I always look forward to getting back into my own cars because they’re mine, and that’s actually why we left the Miata off the list. Too much bias! I rank my cars very highly. Top 5 for sure. Thank you so much for watching!

@AlanisKing 4 ай бұрын
I actually find the body SHAPE to be the big determining factor: Many men who are bigger than me can fit in seats solely because their hips are smaller. Because my actual hip bones (and thighs) are wider, it’s less comfortable for me even if I’m smaller overall

I still think a incredible video is sitting there - take one of those insane side by sides they sell at WTV dealers, that are somehow 30-40k and then compare it to a base truck or one of the new light trucks. I bought land and need one for stuff out there and the prices of those things are insane. Despite the appreciation that the japanese small trucks seem to be getting now, they are still so much of a bargain compared to a john deere side by side or any of the other options. Ive not seen one person do a video on this and I imagine it would be super viral, especially cut up and put on tik tok or youtube shorts.

I drove a Mini JCW this year too! Surprised me how hard it pulls, the torque comes in so low and it just keeps going. Hated the ride, but next gen is supposedly coming out for 2025 model year and gets rid of the runflat tires so that might help! Modern Minis deserve more recognition, they got a bad rap because of reliability issues on R53/R56 but these new ones with the B48s are apparently indestructible. New one will have same engine with same hp but revised torque curve with peak at 1250rpm.... Sign me up!!
