She told a SAAB story... I get it.

this shit goes from beauty to dead perverted comedy, i cant keep up, i love this guy

"A used Miata will run you $5,000" *cries in 2022*

still can't believe this gorgeous car is 10 years old. It looks like it was released yesterday.

"oh I get to drive it?" This guy is a legend

"Don't worry, you'll drive an Elise someday." I'll hold you to that, bastard.

So the oldest male in my family was watching this with me and needless to say is disgusted. So job well done!

Lol this brings back memories, when I was 9-10 years old my dad bought me a stamp to mail a letter to Lotus in the UK for a brochure on the Espirit. They sent me that and a bunch of posters, fully knowing I was a kid. Awesome.

"Saab story".

Have to admit. If you get yourself a car that looks so rich, and is associated with rich culture. No matter how much of a bargain you've got it for. People will think you're a fucking a baller. I own a 97' C5 Corvette. Got it salvaged (Yup. A fender bender Vette) for around 8,700 bucks. After parts. Added up to a total of $9,679.88. Got a major, deal. Over 200,000 miles. But. People seems to think that I'm "Mister Money Bags". When I stop in a lower class neighborhood, I constantly get people asking for handouts. And then the looks. Oh god the envious looks. It's like. "I'm living such a crappy life, yet I've got the rich scum sucker pulling up next to me, in his fancy little Vette. Yeah buddy fuck you!" And they try their best, to not let me notice. But I do. They assume I'm an overly privlaged rich guy, when in reality I'm just as dirt poor as they are. When you get yourself a high classed sports car. No matter how little money you've spent on it. How much of a bargain it is. How old it is. How much it's sucking you dry financially. People are still going to think you're some millionaire, who makes more money a minute. Then they ever will in 10 life times. * sigh * That's pretty much why I rather be driving my Miata on a daily basis...

And now in 2022 a Lotus Elise is $55,000-$65,000.

the elise looks stealthy as fuck in black

3:16 rx7 fb

In 2013 an Elise in the USA: $30,000 in 2016 an Elise in the UK: £8,000 - £15,000

Great job guys! Merry Christmas!

Who the hell begs for gas? Seriously! I'd give her a $10 Tim Hortons card and be like "good luck".

I know that this was not exactly a "regular car" but this is definitely one of my favorite reviews. Merry Christmas.

Anybody else notice the RX-7 GSL in the video?

This car made a very early impression on me in the old Need For Speed games. It's held a special place in my heart ever since.

6:44 "You will drive an Elise someday." 900,000+ people: *yes.*

Got told a Saab story? Great video yet again!

This is the very first car review I ever saw and it got me into cars 6 years ago, I’ve now flipped over 30 cars by myself and I can’t thank this channel enough.

This video embodies every reason why I'm subscribed here

Dude the reflective and relaxed moments towards the ends of your videos are beautiful!

How do you show up a Miata? A Honda S2000. I think you predicted Mighty Car Mods. Wow.

Just wanna point out that FB RX7 at 3:17. Under rated cars for sure.

She told us a SAAB story

Saab story or sob story?

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious

GAS BEGGARS! UGH! The dishonesty is beyond obnoxious. Find a fire. Stand in it. WAIT.

Saab story

"He filled up her tank because what else can he do?" He can prevent that con from happening by telling that bullshitter......"No". It's that simple. But he chose to be a doormat.

This is the most fun non force-induced vehicle I’ve ever driven. Sticks like glue to the asphalt no matter your speed. Insane.

RCR videos are a gift that keeps on giving. I feel like I could watch them in a year or 5 years or 10 years and it would be like it was the first time....The layers of references and style would peel back a little each time.

5:30 in the morning...about to go to sleep.... until a notification on my phone informs me Regular Cars posted a new video. Merry Christmas to you guys and keep up the stellar work!

when I saw the title I was like "this isn't a regular car" ... then you started talking

Haha the American Beauty monologue at the end was perfect!

This guy is extremely funny, i love it. subbed

Some body once asked could I spare some change for gas, I need to get myself away from this place... Couldn't resist

Hey! that was me waving at 3:15 with the yellow mr2 spyder. I was super excited to see an elise out on the backroads and even tried to turn around and catch up to chat! Couldnt keep up with all that toyota power haha

It's funny, over time, you forget all the dirty jokes. You forget they were there in the first place.

People getting mad at this guy don't seem to understand that it's mostly just tongue-in-cheek. Don't take it so seriously. I mean really, the one where he made fun of stancers turned into a shitstorm.

I sure as hell won't drive an Elise some day... my 6-foot, 3-inch overweight ass can't fit in one. Trust me, I've tried.

"...but dont worry. You will drive an Elise someday..." That choked me up and brought a tear to my eye...

You sound legitimately euphoric at the end

That homage to American Beauty was... beautiful.

first part of the video is so freaking awesome. Quoting because I feel like it... "How do you show up an MGB? Use a Miata. How do you silence a Miata driver? Hey, Honda S2000! But what word makes a Honda fanboy go mute? Lotus! 'Yeah but mine has a Honda engine, and it'll run forever!'. Oh, this one's got a Toyota engine!"

I was 5 when this video came out. Your videos haven't changed in 10 years. That's a good thing

BIG 70's BUSH.

RCR, Thanks for making this video 7 years ago. This was the sole reason i saved for that many years and finally bought my lotus, and yes i bought it for 30k, these things hold their value like nothing else. I have shit the pants of all of friends cornering in this bad boy.

I may or may not have been more excited for this video than all of my Christmas presents... Thanks review guy! Merry Christmas! Also, would love to see a 914/944/some other older but affordable Porsche on your show.

I drive a 2003 Celica GT-S, and yes, it DOES have the same motor that was worked over by Yamaha. The only difference between my car and the Elise is that Lotus put in their own ECU for a little more go-fast oomph. The last scene at the 6:50 mark where you punch it? My car sounds EXACTLY like that. It goes apeshit at 6000 RPM, and doesn't hit the limiter until 8200. That's the Yamaha "lift" feature. Keep it up guys! Great reviews! I certainly hope to drive an Elise someday.

Yeah. I've had that experience with a used Mercedes I owned for a while. Everyone thinks you're made of money.

Easily the best youtube channel ever. You sir, are the greatest philosopher, poet, and thinker of our time.

3:17 -calmly watching review- *HEY LOOK AN RX-7!*

My father was a mechanic for 50 years, he built and restored some of the most powerful muscle cars you've ever seen, he also had some clients with modern sports cars. I've ridden in everything from a 50's Bel Airs to Lamborghinis and THIS, a 2005 Elise, is THE greatest car I've ever been in. The steering is perfect the body work is beautiful and the engine sounds amazing. Even if I could afford a top of the line brand new lambo I would still buy a Lotus instead.

3:15 Toyota MR2 Spyder 3:16 clean FB rx7

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on KZfaq.

That shit happens all the time. I drive a 2011 550i with a lot fo custom mods that make it seem more expensive (not different badges, but I vinyled off the chrome and so on). People ask for handouts and etc. Fuck them. They can get a job.

These just keep getting better and better!

Payed more attention to the FB on 3:16-3:18, and kept thinking about it throughout the rest of the video

What are the odds that I just happened to watch this on Christmas morning waiting for people to wake up. I had no idea this was released exactly 3 years ago.

Remember when the hashtag was still called a pound sign? Peppridge farm remembers.

Once a year I rewatch your older videos and it’s like “ the very first time “

Did u just put a drum corps reference at the end of this video?

You dirty scoundrel. With your American Beauty reference. I watched the movie years ago, but I didn't catch the line until the second time around when I listened to Kevin Spacey at the end. Very clever. Bravo.

smoking tires was right after all

Wow 2013..u been killing it for a while just discovered you guys a month ago...where have i beeeen

I thought regular was in reference to the reviews, not the cars.

My godfather saved for years to get a S1 Lotus Elise, the one with the 1.8 Rover K series and a measly 120bhp. Never have 120bhp felt that fast. I was 8 when he first brought it to my parents home to take me for a drive. I'm now 23, we drove it around Europe and did tons of road trip with it. No highways, only B roads. Everytime I'm grateful to be able to drive that little ball of energy. Because of how it made me feel, my first car is an austin mini that I "restomodded" to around 90bhp. And I feel that same joy. No fat, nothing to look at except the road ahead of you. No power steering, no assisted brakes, no ABS, no ESP. Your hands feel like they are touching that small amount of asphalt under your front tires. And both cars can give you that. One will set you back under 10 grand once everything is in order ( shell restoration, camshafts, overboring, new pistons, head porting, new shock absorbers, metro vented disks ...) while the other will set you back around 25 000€ where I live. Both will turn head and make your life better. I swear.

This guy needs to stop watching porn.

"She told us a 'saab' story" LOLOLOLOL

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for the PS2 anybody?

Hands down my most favorite car review ever. I must drive one now!

This was funny... I know close to nothing about cars but subbed.

Enjoyed this. Great commentary. Long live the S2000!

BIG 1970's BUSH

This is my dream car (or Exige) and when you said "you will drive an Elise someday", it made me genuinely smile and put a tear in my eye :')

PICKITuP PICKITUP HUP HUP *horns kick in*

Love that last scene. Brought a big smile to my face. Merry Christmas and Happy MEEEEAAAATTTTT

You're a very good enjoyable commentator

Watching this again after watching ask Mr. Regular #5 and you guys talking about people asking for gas money. Besides that there used to be a Lotus dealership 1 town over from where I live and the "extended test drive loop" passed by my side road. Saw a ton of them when I was younger. Man I wish that place was still there, combination Lotus, Saab and Volvo dealer.

why are you not on top gear usa ??? !!

man that clip of you driving with the audio really does say it all for that car

btw that was a Saab 9-5 wagon. Also sorry for her, us true Saab drivers are nothing like that

used to live about 5 miles from a lotus dealership.i miss seeing these beauties out by the road.

The ska reference in the middle

This is far from a regular review. I like it!

A Saab story

FOR PRICE REFERENCE IN 2019 Split the listed prices IN HALF, Miata = $2,500, S2000 = $7500 (Yes, you can find them this low in the midwest), Lotus (Not many elises) = $15,000-$25,000.

Anyone else notice the 1st gen RX-7 at 3:18????

I owned a Lotus Europa back in the day. If any of you ever have the opportunity to drive anything made by Lotus. Do it. You will never look at driving a car the same again. It will teach you something. It's just that way. A car the responds like you are wearing it not driving it. And you'll remember what it was like, and fondly, until you are old, like me. Kinda like having the best sex ever 20 years ago . . . and you remember every second . . . still.

Lots of trouble, usually serious.

This is the best review of anything. Ever.

Is it a sob story...or a saab story, heh heh.. k nvmd

Keep seeing that little Echo in all these videos. The true workhorse of Regular Cars. RIP

...nice American Beauty reference.

Wow...I've been following RCR for 5 years...time flies WAY too fast.

Still too broke for a used Elise...same with my parents hah

I finally got to drive an Elise. After 30-40 miles when the differential blew at 30 miles an hour, and crawling in and out of it, and the rattle trap of fiberglass….I find myself looking at listings online. Truly a transcendent experience.
