What do you guys & girls think about our list? Agree? Disagree? Let us know!

[derratz]

Love the hoodie!! Love when channels support other channels.

[ManjotSingh-uuud]

Now we need the Top 5 luxury one's and the list is complete. Good work as always!!

I’m very happy with my Soul Red Mazda CX-50, albeit the preferred plus model. Kia would have been my second choice, but there’s some questionable reliability issues in my opinion.

[Mrr.Q]

Mazda CX-5 is the only IIHS Top Safety Pick+ in Compact SUV

[tenman]

1.5L turbo engine in a car the size of a CRV; too small, I would avoid it for that reason (not to mention the history of coolant and oil mixing

[patrickjw]

I have been driving my 2015 Mitsubishi RVR daily. no any complaint, very reliable car

[NormandyFoye]

I’d love to get the Tiguan, but there’s too much out there about a lack of reliability. Maybe it’s bs, but if VW brought back their warranty I’d be willing to consider it.

[kobbycrentsil]

CX-50 is the better option over the CX-5 imo, your list makes absolute sense and I agree with it

[SantoshSharma]

Model name you said very low volume and quickly. not even written on top and not in description.

[win_dum]

13:31 my favorite performance for sure 😂

[rapide]

I'd take the Outlander all day everyday especially the new PHEV.

[kchristopher]

Kia has a recall every 6 months like clock work

[ADesignersLife]

As an outgoing 2018 Tiguan owner, let me just say that it is a) not super reliable over 100, 000 km’s (already $5k in repairs in at 110k km’s) and b) the newer models aren’t really “affordable” any longer. I paid $37, 000 for my Tiguan Highline; a similarly equipped model now would run you almost $55, 000 after freight.

This was the video I was looking for, thank you!

In all honesty I used to be one that absolutely hated the combined climate/media controls. Then I started paying attention to how I use mine.

Auto climate is arguably much better in the Kia I have now compared to the VW I used to drive. I use it 90% of my trips now so I’m almost never using the climate controls. And I use steering wheel controls to change media more than anything but when I do use the physical buttons in the console area, I’m still taking my eyes off the road. Once you get used to where the buttons are you can feel around without pressing one until you know which button you’re about to hit but that still takes focus away from the road even though you’re actively looking at the road. I could tolerate the new Kia combined controls thing, it’s not as much of a deal-breaker as I once thought.

The big deal breaker for me is the engine power. I’m not looking for an M series ultra-sport engine or something that can do 0-60mph instantly but I would very much like to merge on a highway with other crazy drivers and pass easily. And CVT outside of small sedans is a definite no.

[keska]

cool review!
Kia is just so overpriced (above MSRP) due to a purposely created lack of availability

[gryg]

I love the fact that Honda CR-V is big SUV in Europe, where in US you assigned it to compact SUV :D

[tenman]

The Mitsubishi is weird looking. Not a great reputation either.

[kevinn]

The Tiguan in Europe has a PHEV option. Huh? Why not here?
The Tucson. The front looks great, the back fine, the side profile? Whacky. Too much.
Honda CRV... CVT? UGH!! 50k for the top trim? Seriously?
CX50 is sharp. No hybrid? It's like Mazda is sleeping.
Mitsu? I think this is the sleeper hit.
Sportage. Yes, very sharp. PHEV, yes... what about durability? Seems like everybody whines about this
