me too

Completely agree. His reviews are vocally presented far above anyone else’s. Deserves millions of followers.

But chances are the PHEV will be more expensive (though there are tax incentives...)

It’s still hideous.

I agree. It is still ugly. MB could have done so much more with this one.

I love my kryptonite green pufferfish

Old was unique this ones bland

At least the old one was unique. And in my opinion looked more aggressive. This one looks like any other generic compact suv like a Honda CR-V.

I used the Bat Phone

@@DrivenCarReviews 😂😂😂😂

Tom has connections 😉

I don't see any Mazdas that compete at this level. Yet. Some are nice but not at the Audi or MB level.

Volvo XC40 has a nice greenhouse too.

Hmmm, wonder what my next video is going to be....

Hmmm, let me check my finances..... Apparently never.

I'll be doing the Yukon first in late September. It's what I can get from GM.

@@DrivenCarReviews Understood.

True. Buying a fully loaded entry level car is silly. I would spend more on higher class cars if budget allows. If I really buy this one, I would only go for 3k to 4k options over the base model.

Doesn't last. The plastic cover starts ripping after the forth or fifth load in. Mayhem ensues...

@@DrivenCarReviews Ha! Thought I was being clever...

Thanks Roxy

That's an intentional design crease

Driven Car Reviews I think that the area where the top portion meets the bottom portion is misaligned. There is another part near the C pillar, right below the glass that has a similar misalignment. Initially I thought this was a press/pre-production vehicle, but these cars are already on dealer lots.

@@robertkamanzi9147 It's not. It's actually one molded piece in the D pillar. The car was very nicely screwed together, something I noticed but didn't comment on. Because it should be for that price. Different camera angles can give the illusion that seams and trim are crooked. I'm guessing that's what you're seeing.

It's not. It's a single piece of trim with a crease in it. Look at it from the other angles and you'll see. It's a single mould and not 2 separate pieces.

Driven Car Reviews I appreciate your response and will trust your opinion since you have reviewed all these cars over the years and have a keen eye. Thank you for taking the time to prove to me that it was just my eyes playing tricks. Thanks for being our eyes and ears while filming these videos. It is helpful to hear first hand descriptions on what different surfaces feel to the touch at close inspection, such as your description of the back of the front seats (which only back passengers will get to experience with their knees perhaps). Also, your ™ Cosco TP test, it is amazing how that whole business of making TP never really came back to pre-COVID levels. I heard that because a lot of people are spending so much time at home, residential TP has been more in demand than commercial TP (such as those you find in office buildings), despite their effort to convert their portion of Household/commercial production, it is still not enough. I do think that people have been hoarding though. But, I digress. Forgive me for talking about an unrelated topic.

Me too

That's one ugly car lol

Totally agree..👍👍

a bit of a guppy. Not unlike the Buick Encore in that regard.

@@toronado455 Well, I will say the Mercedes looks better in person. The Encore is definitely worse.

Daniel R I think it looks good but now they should definitely being the a class hatchback to America

Yes it looks a lot like Buick Encore.

Something to think about. You can assume that my overall impressions extend to the highway. I always note if there's wind noise, road noise or instability at freeway speeds, even if the visual is me driving in a neighborhood. Too hard to shoot on highways.

Of course it does.

It's why I float those figure out

@@DrivenCarReviews Great review! Appreciate the thoughtfulness to mention the minor details that would help the consumers.

This has been true of cars forever. You can option up most cars to he price of the next car up in the line

Tyler the partnership with Infiniti is over. No QX30 going forward from everything I’ve read. Sad too considering the Infiniti was the better looking vehicle.

B W thanks !! I was really curious. Probably didn’t sell well. Odd partnership between two luxury brands. If you want to even consider Infiniti “luxury”.

I'm kinda wondering

make everything look Chinese to sell to the Chinese market.... Americans should stop supporting the German union mafia

I agree, I had this 2021 model, and it is wobbling on corners and feel unstable above 60 mph. I ditched it for a hybrid UXh Lexus...

True

I was wondering who would be the first to comment on that

True

Yup thats true.

I'd argue a Mazda CX-5 looks more expensive.

@@danielr9708 CX-5 is nice

For overall quality and driving experience RAV4 is far behind. I agree it’s more reliable and has higher resale value, though. But not everyone thinks buying a car is investment.

the back looks like it’s squinting

Uh this is definitely small.

Small is relative depending on one's needs.

These cars are leased or bought for 3-7 years and for that time almost all cars are reliable. Very few people that buy NEW cars will keep them for more than 10 years so reliability in general doesn’t matter on new cars
