I spent way too much time trying to figure out if the guy on the left had a mustache or not

[tiagobernardo]

whats with that guy in the left? a ghost mustache?

Great video! Have to agree about the DB11 especially. Even the interior of the car is below standards; not in terms of quality, but the attention to detail. The speakers and other Merc bits and bobs just look out of place.

I think they've confused "worst" with "most disappointing "...

[kacperziajka]

My best would have to be between the new Porsche Panamera (The whole range) and the Mercedes E63 AMG. The Porsche is just, fantastic and the E63 being reinvented in the sense that it now has AWD and a mode for RWD. Epic, epic cars. Even, for me.

The worst car of the year has to be between the Renault Kadjar and Land Rover Disco Sport. The Kadjar is just awful in my opinion. Sure, it shares many things with the ohh so popular Qashqai (?) but it's just a dreary, dull and not so practical crossover. The Disco Sport on the other hand is 'overhyped' in my opinion. No doubt, it's offroad abilities are very, very good. However, the important stuff like the interior and quality are rubbish. Feel around the cabin and you'll find cheap plastics that you shouldn't be getting for £30k+.

How can someone possibly argue that the DB11 is the WORST car he's driven that whole year. Stunning sound, engine, looks and interior. For something to be the WORST it's got to have very few redeeming features. What a tit.

Thank you Auto trader, Happy New Year ;)

[strabo]

[Miboost]

Your hating on the G63?? Dont hate what you cant afford! That vehicle is an icon!

[PROCESSOR]

They all seem to be plugging French cars recently, even saying they are more reliable than the Japanese's cars.  Something fishy is going on. I wouldn't take a Peugeot if it was free.

"Donkeys years old". LOL. That was a good one.

I had heard several negatives on the DB11 before watching your video. Suffice to say, your critique "sealed the deal". I had been planning to purchase a 2017 DB11 (a beautiful car), but for $200+k, I will save some money (about $40k) and buy the MB AMG GT-S instead. It, too, is beautiful - and easier to service here in the States.

Porsche 991.2 --> a thing of beauty !

[bar-sabas]

I agree with you guys and that g63 who spend that much on that thing....Good Lord noooo

[tredfxman]

Forgot Golf GTI Clubsport did we? As well as Clubsport S which beated its own world record at Nurnbergring recently... None of the other BMW/Mercedes/Audi have a car that beats it in this class. You say A45, i say its fast in a straight line, but wont stand much chance on a curvy road where GTI CS & CS S, will Ace it...

[JoeAchilles]

Totally agree with the G63, what a pile of overpriced junk!

[jamiep]

My favourite the Peugeot 3008 and I agree with Peter the Mini Clubman SD was my worst

[marino]

all the cars shown in this video suck. so what the heck are they talking about. except the v90

[EliShur]

The most disappointing for me is the new 6-Series. While the new 5-Series has a completely new interior, the 6 still has the old-designed one. Nah.
