CR. goes through hundreds of thousands replies from owners and mechanics .....you go on what....guessing , bias , what you heard ...and then question CR. ....I question you .

Kia Telluride is a failed project. Recall after Recall. Fans can say what they want but the Highlander has proven its the superior vehicle by leaps and bounds. Consumer Reports has become a laughing Stock review program

@@dannyjeffbingham1627 Chevy Bolt was renewed and qualifies for the $7,500 credit. The downside (as with all electrics) is battery replacement cost. For the Bolt, it's about $17,000!

lmao

Grey is not a safe colour as well

hahaha

​@@aussiedeplorable8670...yep..blends with the road....low visibility day/night /dawn ..in any weather..that colour is a major hazard

I bought a Red Mitsubishi. A real standout. Lot's of people stop to say how they like it.

Anyone agrees with me way to much gray colors in SUVs cars trucks please send letters to car companies so then here it from other people

CR seems to love the Forester as do many of the viewers of my videos....easily the most positively commented on vehicle across all my videos.

Yeah I have two Hyundais. Never again will I buy from them.

I found it odd I never heard a lot of good out of those two until the telluride and palisade. The praise isn't because of quality, it's because of the flashiness.

@@potentatewags Flashy buses.

American losers have the ability to create fake stories that can't be verified🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I finally canceled my subscription to Consumer Reports after years of threatening to. My main interest was information on vehicles, but they are so biased that the information is seemingly deliberately misleading. For years their little description of the 5.3 liter V-8 GM engine said “sluggish”. What the hell does that mean. My 2014 GMC Denali Crew Cab has plenty of instant acceleration, and got over 20 mpg on a 4,000 mile road trip hauling 4 adults and the bed was jammed with luggage and supplies. Much of that trip included 80 mph Texas roads.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that as well

What? You don’t think For-EST’-er is correct? ☺️

I generally don't respond to these types of critiques as I simply don't want to invest the time. However, I guess after 50 videos and millions of views my other viewers might appreciate me addressing criticisms such as this. I've used human narrators before, go back to my earlier videos and you'll hear them. Without any question, the process of using human narrators was the most challenging part of making the video. A good chunk of the problem was because of me. When I write scripts, I tend to make a lot of mistakes....I leave words out a lot and I tend to reuse the same word too often in a short period of time amongst other mistakes. I'd proofread my scripts over and over and then send them to the narrator. Inevitably, I get it back and I'd hear at least one noticeable mistake...most of the time because a mistake I missed in the script but sometimes it was their mistake. If it was my mistake, I'd pay to have them redo that section (after all, it wasn't their fault), other times I'd cut it out or do something to make it livable. Narrators aren't extremely expensive but it wasn't uncommon for me to spend more on the voice narrator than I'd make on the video (you won't see these videos on my channel as I turn my truly weak performing videos private after awhile). The bigger problem, however, isn't with the cost, it's with the turnaround time and availability. 4-5 days was standard as they want you to pay for 'expedited' service to get it quicker. When you are in the groove of making a video, waiting 4-5 days for the audio seems like an eternity. If you need them to fix anything (whether it's your mistakes that you are paying to fix or their mistake that they'll fix at no cost), it just adds more time. Despite all of this, I lived with it but then...all of sudden...my narrator guy who had a great voice inexplicably went offline all of a sudden and I had to find another narrator. Once you hear a narrator do YOUR video (instead of their previous work), you don't always think they're a great fit so you try another. It's time-consuming and just adds to your costs. Fortunately, my guy came back online after a few months and I started working with him again for awhile and then, out of the blue, he goes offline again, stating he won't be back for a year. This is when I found computer voice narration. Computer voice narration isn't perfect and you're right, pronunciation and inflection aren't perfect (but neither are all human narrators when reading scripts) but it can be cranked out immediately, you can hear it immediately and fix it immediately...and it's relatively affordable. The voices are getting better but aren't optimal for automotive videos because of the sometimes unusual vehicle names and brand names. If it wasn't for that, you'd probably never know you were listening to a computer. In fact, you are already hearing commercials using computer voices and you almost certainly don't even know it...the only reason I know it is because I recognize the voices from the service that I use. As for my videos being a 'thinly-veiled' informercial, I get what you are saying but I think you miss what the point of this channel is. We're not trying to be the next Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer or Supercar Blondie. This channel is for people who want to see a variety of vehicles, inside and out and learn a few quick tidbits along the way. If they are in the market for a vehicle (most of them probably aren't), then some of these vehicles might make it on a shortlist for them. It's really that simple. The short clips of people doing silly things is just to breakup the video so that we're not just showing the car from one different angle to another endlessly. Maybe it's unnecessary but my our style and I'm sticking with it. This channel may not be for you and that's fine. One great thing about being a KZfaq creator is analytics...I get tons of information about each video including how many people watch it that previously watched one of our previous videos. Although this number isn't massive, it's noticeable. This channel is for those people, who like this type of content. It may not be for everyone but there's enough out there that keeps me going (more as a hobby than anything). I hope this answers your question and I hope others that see this comment will have a better understanding of our channel.

See my reply to @williamburkholder769

I think the answer to your question is in the title of this video as well as the intro….this is Consumer Reports’ list….not ours. Now if you don’t believe Consumer Reports, that’s your prerogative but the video is accurate….this IS their list.

Why not?

Please at least, test drive a Mitsubishi Outlander.

If Mercedes made a car as reliable as Toyota maybe people would buy them instead of Toyota, all cars are crash tested and Toyota is always at the top , so you can't go buy just what you saw. Plus why spend all the money on import tax for just an average car
