I love Zack's reviewing so much, always enjoy the humor, and think he's underated

[troycovington]

Congrats Zack Klapman on the Hagerty spot. Well deserved man!

[philincaundo]

Love it. If anyone is ever near Sarasota and wants a ride in one, always happy to let people experience my atom 3

[jaygiatien]

Love the scoring structure! Awesome to see both Dai and Zack wheel the car and give their impressions. You can tell they’re both enthusiasts beyond spec sheets.

[doggothedog]

The ariel atom always earned a spot in my heart for some reasons. It's just cool and I 100% agree that it's comparable to a super7. I grew up watching that race and even watched an anime of it. Both legends imo.

[vashumashu]

Dais english has gotten so good over the years !!

[Theosforos]

Hagerty reminds me of /DRIVE so much. I hope it lasts this time!

[benwells]

Would absolutely LOVE to drive one of these some day. I’m a car guy for sure, but more so a motorcycle enthusiast, and this to me seems to be the car equivalent of a motorcycle on four wheels. Absolutely raw, no creature comforts, and a direct connection between man and machine. In a sea of vanilla cars and isolation chambers on the road these days, it’s not surprising this car and similar other options out there have really taken off! 😁

350 hp is not enough, said every kid that failed applied physics

[Ankur]

this version of "Rated" is much much better than the last iterations, sequences and writing is amazing, i really like it. Bravo Zack, Bravo Hagerty.

[Shuja_RM]

I'm a nurse and I'm pulling 5-6 shifts a week just to comfortably afford this and a house. Next October is my deliver! Year can't go by fast enough!

4:03 Dude I just died!
Ive got the same cupholder!
🤣🤣

7:54 He's not the Stig. But he's the Stig's Japanese cousin!

[bimmerfan]

Hagerty just coming out as one of the best if car YT channels out there.

[lawrencefoster]

The Ariel is one of the most fun car's there is.

[leemoore]

I think the Atom looks great with the windscreen and half roll cage! it gives the car a better looking shape overall .

[Sir.VicsMasher]

I love the turbo whistle, sound reminds me of a Borg Warner even though its a Mitsubishi.

[HandsomeAlex]

Great review! That car looks epic, and I had no idea it could slide - but given a drift champion, I guess everything will slide!

[FredsFullThrottle]

One of the best car videos I've seen in a long time, great job Zack!

[CatchyNameF]

The genuine disappointment when he couldn't get the change at the drive through..
Just give the man a raise..😂
