Haters Think Batteries Don't Last - They Are So Wrong: Here's Why!
This video investigates the battery degradation and real-world electric range of a 2015 BMW i8 after nearly a decade of use. The reviewer highlights t... morehe i8's unique design and advanced technology, noting its supercar-like performance despite modest on-paper horsepower figures, capable of beating newer performance cars in acceleration tests. The primary focus is on its hybrid system's longevity. After 41,000 miles, the i8 impressively delivered 17 miles of electric-only range in a mixed driving loop, matching its original EPA estimate and demonstrating minimal battery degradation. The reviewer praises the smooth transition to hybrid mode when the battery depletes and commends the car's comfortable ride and head-turning aesthetics. The main drawback identified is the relatively small and perhaps uninspiring engine, which might explain its current used market value compared to other exotics. Overall, the i8 is presented as a marvel of engineering that holds up remarkably well as a used car. less
Is the All-Hybrid, All-Wheel Drive Toyota Sienna a Capable Winter Family Hauler?
The 2025 Toyota Sienna, particularly the Platinum trim, is presented as the gold standard in the minivan segment, excelling as a family hauler. The re... moreviewer highlights its exceptional quietness, refinement, and comfort, drawing comparisons to luxury vehicles. The hybrid powertrain, while not offering the most engaging driving experience compared to some rivals, delivers impressive fuel economy (35 MPG combined for AWD). The interior is lauded for its premium materials, two-tone leather, heated/ventilated seats, and advanced features like a powerful built-in vacuum and a sophisticated rear-seat reminder system capable of detecting pets. The second-row captain's chairs with ottomans and recline function are particularly praised for their luxury. While the Sienna lacks the plug-in hybrid option of the Chrysler Pacifica or the sporty V6 of the Honda Odyssey, its all-around package, including impressive AWD capability demonstrated in the slip test (though with a minor failure in the most extreme scenario), makes it a highly recommended choice for families, especially in adverse weather conditions. The reviewer concludes that despite the $59,000 price for the Platinum trim, it offers significant value considering the average new car price and its extensive luxury and utility features. less
A Used BMW i8 Is The Bargain of the Century!
The BMW i8, despite its initial underappreciation, is presented as a remarkable bargain in the used car market. The reviewer highlights its exceptiona... morel performance, often exceeding its on-paper specifications, particularly when launch control is engaged. The futuristic and timeless design is lauded, with the car still turning heads and eliciting questions about its price, which has significantly depreciated. Comfort for long journeys is a strong point, with good visibility, compliant ride quality, and decent ground clearance. Fuel economy is impressive, averaging around 38 MPG, with a usable electric-only range of about 15 miles. Reliability is surprisingly good, with few common issues reported, provided the car is driven regularly. The i8's versatility is its greatest strength, excelling in city driving, highway cruising, and spirited spirited drives in the twisties, offering communicative steering and a fun driving experience. The reviewer concludes that the i8 is a misunderstood and underrated car, offering supercar looks and performance at a fraction of the cost of its contemporaries. less
Shocking Range Test: This Mercedes GLC Proves You Don’t Need an EV!
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e plug-in hybrid is reviewed, with a particular focus on its electric range capabilities and overall driving experience.... more The reviewer was highly impressed with the real-world electric range, achieving 73 miles on a full charge, significantly exceeding the estimated 54 miles. This performance, coupled with a comfortable and luxurious interior featuring advanced technology like the MBUX software and extensive ambient lighting, earns high marks. However, the review notes a less direct steering response and a somewhat bumpy ride, attributed partly to the heavy battery pack and the vehicle's suspension. The reviewer also expresses dissatisfaction with the proliferation of haptic buttons, finding them less intuitive and satisfying than traditional physical controls, particularly for seat adjustments and steering wheel functions. While the vehicle's all-wheel-drive system (4MATIC) performed adequately in some off-road simulations, it notably failed in a critical three-wheel test, which was a point of disappointment. The reviewer concludes that while the higher-priced, option-laden model ($71,700) may not be worth the cost, the base model ($59,900) offers a compelling package, especially given its exceptional electric range. less
We Bought a Cheap BMW i8: Should You? 1-Year Owner Review!
This video presents a one-year owner review of a used BMW i8, purchased as a potentially "cheap" option. The reviewer explores the long-term... more ownership experience, focusing on whether the i8 is a wise investment after a year. While the transcript is empty, the title suggests a deep dive into the practicalities, costs, and potential pitfalls of owning a used i8. The core question revolves around the value proposition and whether the initial savings outweigh potential maintenance or reliability issues. The review likely aims to guide potential buyers considering a pre-owned i8, offering insights into its real-world usability and financial implications. less
Drag Race and 60-100 MPH Acceleration Race - Chevy C8 Corvette vs BMW i8 vs a Ringer!
This video pits two depreciated performance cars, a C8 Corvette and a BMW i8, against each other in drag races and acceleration tests, also introducin... moreg a new McLaren Artura Spider for comparison. The C8 Corvette, with its naturally aspirated V8, is expected to outperform the BMW i8, which features a 3-cylinder engine and hybrid system. However, at high altitudes, the i8's hybrid system and turbocharging prove advantageous, allowing it to surprisingly match and even beat the Corvette in initial tests, particularly in the 60-100 mph acceleration. The quarter-mile race also saw the i8 take a decisive victory, impressing the reviewers with its real-world performance despite its on-paper specifications. The McLaren Artura, a significantly more expensive and powerful plug-in hybrid supercar, easily dominates both the C8 and i8 in acceleration tests, showcasing the advancements in hybrid technology for ultimate performance. The review highlights the value proposition of the used C8 and i8, while emphasizing the supercar performance of the Artura. less
That Wasn't Supposed to Happen! 2025 Honda Civic Si vs. Hybrid Drag Race
This video pits the 2025 Honda Civic Si against the new Civic Hybrid in a drag race, highlighting their similar 200 horsepower output but differing to... morerque figures and transmissions. While the Hybrid boasts more torque (232 lb-ft vs. 192 lb-ft) and a CVT, the Si features a manual transmission. Initial drag races showed the Hybrid's electric torque advantage off the line, but the Si's turbo power eventually caught up. However, subsequent races revealed the Hybrid, under specific conditions (AC off, full battery), consistently outperformed the Si, achieving mid-15-second quarter-mile times compared to the Si's consistent 16.1 seconds. The review notes the Hybrid's interior is slightly more upscale but less special than the Si's, and the Si offers a more engaging driving experience due to its manual transmission, firmer suspension, and sportier tires, despite being slower in a straight line and costing less. The brake test also favored the Si due to its lighter weight and performance tires. Ultimately, the reviewers found the Si more fun to drive and a better value, even if the Hybrid is quicker in acceleration. less
I Drove the Ford Maverick AWD Hybrid for a Week And Even I Can’t Believe My Fuel Economy!
Mary concludes her week-long test of the 2025 Ford Maverick XLT AWD Hybrid, finding it surprisingly easy to live with, even for a self-proclaimed &quo... moret;non-truck person." She highlights its maneuverability, comparing its size favorably to a crossover or mini-SUV, and praises its comfortable ride and the utility of its bed for hauling items. A significant positive is the "insane" fuel economy, with the truck still showing half a tank after several days of driving. However, Mary expresses a dislike for the non-traditional rotary shifter and notes that the CVT, while fuel-efficient, can be loud and less sporty. The towing capacity of 4,000 lbs is deemed insufficient for serious needs but acceptable for her personal use. Despite some minor gripes, Mary is impressed, stating she would consider buying one and will miss the "little green frog" truck. less
These Results Even Surprised Us - V8 Vantage vs BMW i8 vs C8 Corvette vs Tesla Model S Drag Race!
This video pits four depreciated sports cars against each other in a series of drag races: a 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a 2015 BMW i8, a 2014 Tesla... more Model S 85, and a C8 Chevrolet Corvette. The reviewer highlights the Aston Martin's V8 sound and manual transmission as its key appeal, despite being the slowest. The Tesla Model S, a 2014 RWD variant, showed signs of age with slower acceleration than expected, completing the quarter-mile in 13.53 seconds. The BMW i8, a plug-in hybrid with a 3-cylinder engine and electric motors, proved surprisingly quick, especially at altitude, achieving a 12.57-second quarter-mile and impressing with its technology and performance. The C8 Corvette, while the most powerful, struggled with traction on the surface, leading to a very close and exciting rematch with the i8, which the BMW ultimately won. The reviewer's favorite is the i8 for its advanced technology and comfortable ride, while acknowledging the Aston Martin's unique appeal. less
Is the New Dodge Charger Actually Going to Sell?
The new electric Dodge Charger has generated significant controversy, largely due to its radical departure from its V8 muscle car heritage. While the ... morereviewer acknowledges the online backlash and the loss of traditional elements like V8 sound and burnout capability, they argue that change doesn't inherently mean bad. The Charger is described as a large, heavy, and luxurious EV, excelling as a comfortable road trip vehicle with a smooth ride and quiet cabin, akin to a Mercedes S-Class. However, its performance, particularly the "under 5 seconds" 0-60 time for the base model, is deemed insufficient compared to competitors like the Tesla Model 3 Performance, especially given its high price point (starting around $60,000, with the Scat Pack exceeding $80,000). The reviewer criticizes the one-pedal driving experience as potentially problematic for new EV adopters and notes that even the performance-oriented Scat Pack handles well for its weight but still falls short of expectations for a "muscle car." The primary critique centers on the excessive price, estimated to be $15,000-$18,000 too high, a sentiment echoed by early dealer discounts. The upcoming gasoline version with the "Hurricane" inline-six is presented as a potential solution, with the reviewer believing the platform itself is strong but the electric powertrain and pricing are the main issues. The car's design and presence are praised, but the overall verdict is that the electric Charger, as currently priced and powered, is not a compelling offering, though the underlying platform shows promise. less
The BMW i8 Is Now Cheaper Than A New Toyota Camry... But Should You Buy One?
The BMW i8, despite its supercar looks and innovative hybrid technology, is now available for less than a new Toyota Camry, making it a compelling use... mored car purchase. The reviewer highlights its stunning, timeless design, both inside and out, and praises its surprisingly potent performance, which significantly exceeds its modest 357 horsepower rating, especially with the immediate torque from the electric motor and a quick launch control. Handling is described as competent and nimble for daily driving, offering a comfortable ride and excellent fuel economy. However, the i8 is not without its drawbacks. The most significant is the extremely difficult ingress and egress due to its low profile and wide, high sill. Reliability concerns, while often overblown, do exist, with potential issues like AC system failures, fuel pressure sensor problems, and door strut wear. The rear seats are practically unusable, and storage space is limited. Despite these compromises, the reviewer concludes that the i8 offers a unique, special driving experience that makes the owner feel cooler than almost any other car, especially at its current depreciated price point, suggesting it's a future collector's item. less
Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares Is Gone: What Happens to Jeep Now?
The departure of Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares raises questions about the future of Jeep, particularly concerning the next-generation Wrangler. The cu... morerrent JL generation, while praised for offering diverse powertrain options (V6, turbo-four, hybrid, V8, diesel) and maintaining its iconic open-top freedom and unmatched off-road capability, is showing its age. The reviewer highlights the JL's improved interior technology and aftermarket customization potential as significant strengths. However, criticisms are leveled at seat comfort, on-road dynamics stemming from its solid-axle design, and a general lack of interior space. A major concern is the potential for increased electrification and the phasing out of beloved gasoline engines, possibly leading to a Wrangler that loses its core identity. The reviewer strongly advocates for retaining gasoline powertrains and emphasizes the critical need to address the escalating price point, which has moved beyond the reach of the average consumer. The ideal future Wrangler, in the reviewer's opinion, would offer a wider range of affordable trims, improved on-road manners, and continued focus on its legendary off-road prowess and customization. less
We Need to Talk About the New Dodge Charger Daytona
The new all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona presents a significant, and potentially controversial, shift for the muscle car segment. While Dodge has su... moreccessfully captured the iconic Charger aesthetic with retro cues and a imposing presence, the vehicle's sheer size and weight (nearly 6,000 lbs) are notable departures from traditional muscle car characteristics. The Scat Pack trim, delivering 670 horsepower, offers impressive performance figures, though its 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds and a rated range of just over 240 miles fall short of some competitors, especially considering the high price point, reaching over $82,000 for a well-optioned model. The interior receives high marks for improved quality and modern features like a 16-inch screen and pistol-grip shifter, though the haptic climate controls are a low point. The controversial "Fratzonic" sound system, while loud, is noted as artificial. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample rear seat and trunk space, but the vehicle's primary drawback appears to be its range and the premium cost associated with its performance and features. less
Are These High-Horsepower Family Sleepers Faster Than Sports Cars?
This video pits family-oriented performance vehicles against dedicated sports cars in a series of drag races to determine if the former can outperform... more the latter. The contenders include the Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered, Ford Explorer ST, BMW i8, and Toyota GR Corolla. The BMW i8, despite its age and three-cylinder engine, proved surprisingly quick, outperforming the GR Corolla and even the more powerful Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered and Ford Explorer ST in several matchups. The Explorer ST, while powerful, was criticized for lacking the expected "oomph" for an ST badge, with its brakes struggling to hold it. The GR Corolla, though featuring a new automatic transmission, was significantly outpaced by the hybrid and performance-oriented competitors. Ultimately, the video concludes that while the performance gap between family haulers and sports cars has narrowed, the BMW i8 remains a surprisingly potent and quick vehicle, outperforming more modern and seemingly powerful competitors. less
2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Road Trip Review: Do Crepes Really Taste Better at a Mile Above Sea Level?
The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring is presented as a practical and comfortable option for a road trip, excelling in fuel efficiency with an imp... moreressive real-world average of 70.6 MPG. The reviewer highlights the car's comfortable ride, smooth suspension, and intuitive infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A significant positive is the return of physical buttons, praised for their satisfying click and ease of use compared to touchscreens. However, the reviewer notes a lack of pep from the 2.0L engine, suggesting it's not for those seeking a fast car. The interior's piano black trim is also a minor drawback, attracting dust. Despite the initial crepe shop closure, the overall experience was positive, with the Civic proving to be a dependable and cost-efficient choice, especially for young drivers or commuters. less
2025 Lamborghini Urus SE Hybrid On And Off-Road Review
The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE represents a significant evolution for the brand's popular SUV, now featuring a potent plug-in hybrid powertrain del... moreivering a combined 789 horsepower. While the exterior styling sees subtle yet aggressive updates, the interior retains a familiar, luxurious feel with high-quality materials and a three-screen layout, though some switchgear echoes its Volkswagen Group origins. The reviewer highlights the Urus SE's dual nature: capable of exhilarating track performance, including impressive driftability thanks to its new rear-biased all-wheel-drive system and electronic differential, and surprisingly competent off-road. Despite a noticeable increase in weight (around 150 kg) due to the hybrid components, the air suspension and all-wheel steering contribute to a sharp ride. The reviewer notes that while it's a "super SUV," its height and weight are apparent during aggressive track maneuvers, contrasting with its more natural feel on dirt. The electric-only range is estimated between 20-30 miles, though Lamborghini suggests many owners may not utilize the plug-in feature. Ultimately, the Urus SE is presented as a versatile, high-performance family hauler that blends supercar thrills with practicality, albeit at a premium price point starting around $250,000-$275,000. less
Seriously, The Best Hybrid You Can Buy Today Is a 10-Year-Old BMW!
The reviewer makes a bold claim: the 2015 BMW i8 is the best plug-in hybrid available today, even a decade after its release. He extols its timeless, ... moresupercar-like design, emphasizing its carbon fiber construction that prevents rust and maintains its aesthetic appeal. The i8's unique powertrain, combining an electric motor powering the front wheels with a three-cylinder engine for the rear, delivers surprisingly potent performance, capable of out-accelerating a Mustang GT. The reviewer highlights its practicality as a grand touring car, citing a long road trip where it proved comfortable and capable of carrying luggage, aided by small rear seats that double as storage. Fuel economy is another strong point, with the reviewer achieving an impressive 63.7 MPG. The interior, while dated by some standards, is praised for its user-friendly iDrive system and a blend of screens and physical buttons, a stark contrast to modern, overly digitized dashboards. The car's relatively affordable used price ($49,000) is presented as a significant value proposition, offering supercar looks and performance with hybrid efficiency. less
Ride With Me: The All-Electric 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre Is By Far the Best Rolls Ever Built!
Roman takes the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre on a scenic road trip through the Pacific Northwest, highlighting its unparalleled luxury and quiet o... moreperation. He praises the Spectre's smooth ride, impressive acceleration (0-60 in 4 seconds), and the serene cabin experience, noting that the electric powertrain enhances Rolls-Royce's core values of luxury and quietness. Despite its substantial weight (6,500 lbs), the Spectre handles surprisingly well, with a soft yet composed suspension and confidence-inspiring brakes. The reviewer acknowledges the eye-watering price tag, starting around $420,000 and reaching $560,000 with options, and the polarizing two-tone paint scheme. While the official range is 290 miles, the reviewer implies it's more than adequate for its intended use. The Spectre is positioned as the ultimate luxury vehicle, appealing to a younger demographic as a status symbol, and is deemed by the reviewer as potentially the best Rolls-Royce ever built. less
Some Used Cars Prices Are Cratering: These Are the 15 Biggest Money Losers This Year!
This video from TFL Studios analyzes a study by iSeeCars on the 15 worst-depreciating vehicles from August 2023 to August 2024. The findings reveal a ... moresignificant drop in used electric vehicle prices, with EVs dominating the list. The Tesla Model 3 is highlighted as the worst offender, depreciating by 24.8%, losing an average of $8,500. The hosts note that while this is bad news for current owners, it presents significant bargains for used car buyers. They attribute the Model 3's steep depreciation to a combination of factors including a shift in market favor away from EVs, Hertz selling off a large portion of its fleet, and potential issues with the vehicle itself. Despite the value loss, the Model 3 is still praised for its performance, reliability, and low battery degradation, making it a recommended entry point into the EV market for budget-conscious buyers. Other notable depreciating vehicles include the Kia Niro EV, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt EV, and several Jaguar Land Rover models, often linked to battery issues, market perception, or being entry-level luxury segments that don't hold value well. Conversely, the video briefly touches on vehicles that have appreciated, such as the Chevy Camaro and Porsche 718. less
The Top 5 Do's and Don'ts of Driving the Alaska (Alcan) Highway!
This video offers a practical guide to navigating the Alaskan Highway, presented as the fifth installment of a road trip series. The reviewer emphasiz... morees that the journey, not the destination, is the primary appeal of this route. Key advice includes the necessity of a satellite phone due to lack of cell service, maintaining a half-tank of fuel at all times, and the importance of carrying a spare tire and wheel, ideally from a compatible model. The reviewer highlights the significant "BC Yukon and Alaskan tax," noting exceptionally high hotel costs, particularly in Whitehorse, and suggests camping or using a more self-sufficient vehicle as a more economical alternative. Food options are described as basic, with limited choices beyond standard North American fare, making it unsuitable for foodies. The reviewer humorously critiques the choice of a BMW i8 for this journey, noting its low ground clearance and performance tires, while acknowledging its surprising fuel economy. Ultimately, the video strongly recommends a pickup truck for its utility, ground clearance, and ability to carry gear, contrasting it with the impracticality of an electric truck for this route. The overarching message is to prioritize the adventure and choose the right vehicle for the challenging road conditions. less
When Driving the Alaska Highway, Don't Forget to Stop and Smell the Bears! (Part 3)
This video chronicles the latter half of a BMW i8 road trip down the Alaskan Highway. The reviewer reiterates that the i8 is fundamentally the wrong c... morear for this journey due to its low ground clearance, low-profile tires, and difficulty entering/exiting. Initially, the rough roads, potholes, and gravel sections presented significant challenges. However, as the journey progressed into British Columbia and towards Fort Nelson, the road conditions improved dramatically, becoming a "perfect highway" with long, sweeping turns and beautiful scenery, which the i8 handled with ease. The reviewer highlights the car's silent operation as a key factor in observing wildlife, particularly two bears. Despite automotive journalists often deeming the i8 a 'fail' due to its supercar looks but modest performance, the reviewer argues that its depreciated value makes it an ideal, albeit challenging, companion for such an adventure, offering a unique "sense of occasion" that is universally loved. The trip's wildlife encounters were a highlight, with the spotting of two bears being particularly memorable and making the arduous journey worthwhile. less
Driving a BMW i8 on the Most Remote Highway In North America! (Part 2)
This video chronicles the initial leg of an ambitious 3,000-mile road trip from Alaska to Colorado in a 2014 BMW i8. The reviewer highlights the i8�... more39;s striking, concept-car-like design and its unique plug-in hybrid powertrain, which combines a three-cylinder engine with electric motors for a total of 369 horsepower. While acknowledging the car's impressive acceleration (0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds) and its advanced technology for its time, the reviewer notes that for its original $125,000 price tag, the performance was somewhat underwhelming compared to its aggressive styling. The journey itself presented challenges, including the car's limited electric range, the pervasive smell of gasoline from an improperly sealed emergency gas can, and the rough road conditions of the Alaskan Highway, including potholes and construction. The reviewer also details the car's lack of a spare tire, necessitating a creative solution involving a tire from a BMW i3 and a comprehensive emergency kit. Despite these hurdles, the reviewer expresses excitement for the adventure and the unique experience of driving the i8 through remote landscapes. less
Supercar vs. Muscle Car Drag Race: Can the 10-Year-Old BMW i8 Beat the Brand-New Ford Mustang GT?
In a surprising drag race, the 2015 BMW i8, despite its age and lower horsepower, decisively beat the brand-new 2024 Ford Mustang GT. The i8's hy... morebrid powertrain, with its instant torque and all-wheel-drive system, proved superior off the line and in rolling races, even at high altitudes where naturally aspirated engines struggle. Reviewers were impressed by the i8's performance, calling it the fastest 357 horsepower car they've ever experienced. While the Mustang GT offers a more traditional and arguably more practical experience with a larger trunk and modern tech, the i8's unique carbon composite construction and innovative hybrid system deliver a performance edge that belies its paper specifications. The i8 also demonstrated better braking performance, though its skinny tires and age were noted as potential drawbacks. Ultimately, the video highlights that real-world performance can significantly differ from on-paper figures, especially when comparing advanced hybrid technology against a conventional V8. less
What Exactly Is the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia and Is It Toyota's Smash Hit of the Year?
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia aims to replace the Venza, presenting itself as a premium, all-hybrid, two-row midsize SUV. Reviewers highlight its comfo... morertable ride and spacious interior, particularly noting the impressive cargo capacity with an extendable floor, accommodating individuals up to 6'5". The vehicle utilizes a 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid powertrain producing 240 horsepower, paired with a CVT, delivering an estimated 38 MPG. While praised for its smooth operation and Toyota's reliable nickel-metal hydride battery technology, the powertrain is not geared towards performance, with a 0-60 mph time of 7.1 seconds. The exterior styling is described as a unique blend of sedan, crossover, and wagon, with a particular liking for the "Finish Line Red" color. Inside, the cabin is noted for its premium feel, though a lack of interior color options is a minor drawback. The reviewer finds it more comfortable than the Lexus RX, appreciating the traditional door handles over push-button systems. Priced starting around $48,000, it enters a competitive segment, bordering on Lexus territory, but offers a compelling package for those prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and practicality over sportiness. less
