2015 BMW i8 Racetrack Review: The Ultimate Hybrid Racing Machine?
This TFLcar review puts the 2015 BMW i8 through its paces on the IMI Motorsports Racetrack with professional IndyCar driver Justin Wilson. The reviewe... morer highlights the i8's striking, futuristic design, praising its seamless integration of technology and BMW's return to bold styling. While the car's carbon fiber construction and combined power output of 356 hp are noted, the driving experience on track reveals some compromises. The steering is described as numb and over-boosted, detracting from traditional BMW driving dynamics. The rear seats are deemed practically unusable. Despite these points, the i8 excels as a 'new age Grand Tourer,' capable of both city cruising and spirited driving. The synthesized engine sound is surprisingly effective. Ultimately, the i8 impresses with its unique blend of performance, technology, and style, earning a strong recommendation from the guest driver and a 'Buy It' verdict from the host. less
2014 Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry 0-60 MPH Hybrid Matchup Review
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is presented as a significant leap forward compared to the Toyota Camry Hybrid, particularly in its innovative powertrain... more. The reviewer highlights the Accord's unique three-drive-mode system, which operates similarly to a Chevrolet Volt, eschewing a traditional transmission for an electric motor and engine combination. This results in a claimed 196 horsepower and impressive fuel efficiency, with the reviewer noting an astounding 50 MPG combined. The Accord's driving dynamics are praised for being quieter, smoother, and more refined than the Camry's, offering a comfortable and surprisingly engaging experience with reactive suspension. The interior quality is also lauded, with soft-touch materials and elegant execution, making it feel more expensive than its $30,000 starting price. Minor criticisms include a dislike for the infotainment knob and a slightly less usable rear headroom due to the sloping roofline. The Camry Hybrid, while still a decent car, is seen as dated, with its powertrain and driving feel described as less refined and more akin to an "overgrown Prius." Its brakes are noted as grabby, and the interior, though improved, doesn't match the Accord's comfort or perceived quality. The Accord Hybrid is ultimately recommended as a "Buy It" or "Lease It," while the Camry Hybrid is borderline "Rent It" due to Toyota falling behind in the hybrid segment. less

A unique electric replica of a 1957 Porsche 356A is showcased for its fun factor and surprising performance. The Chevrolet Cruze Eco is praised for its enjoyable manual transmission and over 40 MPG, though its manual transmission's gear gaps are noted. The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is presented as a fun, true hybrid with a six-speed automatic and over 200 horsepower, outperforming the Cruze Eco in an MPG challenge. The Volkswagen Passat TDI is reviewed as a surprisingly quiet and clean diesel with strong torque, though its 0-60 time is a modest 9.1 seconds and refueling is more expensive in the US. The Toyota Camry Hybrid is lauded for its comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and strong performance (200 hp, 9.9s 0-60), while the Chevrolet Volt is highlighted for its sporty handling, electric range (31 miles), and impressive combined economy (68 MPGe). The Volt ultimately wins the economy tiebreaker against the Camry. less
RoadChaser TV Episode I: An American in Italy
This episode of RoadChaser TV takes viewers on a diverse automotive journey, starting with the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg in Italy, highlighting its hybr... moreid and diesel variants, and its surprisingly capable off-road performance despite a softer suspension. The review notes its comfortable ride and premium feel, potentially undercutting luxury competitors on price. The second segment features the Chrysler 300C SRT8 in Colorado, praised for its classic American muscle car feel and powerful Hemi engine, though its performance is notably hampered by high altitude. The review concludes that the 300C is best suited for highway cruising rather than spirited mountain driving. Finally, the Tesla Roadster is put through its paces on a wintry trip to Estus Park, Colorado. The reviewer emphasizes its exhilarating acceleration and instant torque, calling it the "first real proper application of battery power in a sports car." However, the car's tiny size, limited cargo space, and poor performance in snow (due to summer tires) are noted drawbacks. The real-world range is estimated at around 150 miles when driven hard. Despite its high price and practical limitations, the Roadster is lauded for its fun factor and potential as a sports car. less
