My life has changed now that I just live for hearing Andrea say “pound feeta torque!” with such enthusiasm! Somehow makes me smile!

[peterhowells]

Love the Cadillac XT4, domestic!, great JD Power scores!, and that new screen! a great combination for a winner!

[John_May.]

I'm a simple man; I see a new Motormouth video, I click and upvote.

[Heather-lplb]

Thanks to your wonderful and comprehensive reviews, I just bought the ‘24 Cadillac XT4 and I absolutely love it!

[yuriboguslavsky]

I absolutely love my GLB. It’s the perfect size and the reliability has been 100%.

[Sergio-mdei]

Love my 2022 Volvo xc40 r design. Very comfortable and love the style. To bad they discontinued the r design for the newer years loved the two tone styling !

[rwisem]

I've had my Cadillac XT4 for two years now and I love driving it. zero problems in that time, too.

[village_mayor]

I appreciate you don't do a top 5 but let the viewers choose due to lifestyle, affordability, etc. I think you are the only Youtubers that do that. Kudos! That takes the debate out of "which is THE best". And many are loyal fans of a brand, so top X lists falls on deaf ears unless their brand made it to the list.

We just traded our 2019 XT4 for the 2024 model. The interior upgrades are remarkable. The new screen is stunning, and really modernizes the vehicle. Lots and lots of customization features. I have noted the suspension is improved, and I really like the new front end styling. Our 2019 was very reliable, with only two very minor issues, both fixed under warranty. Our new one is the Stellar Black Metallic colour, which really pops in the sun with all of the gold flake. There are lots of little, pleasing details such as the illuminated Cadillac logo on the back of the screen, visible through the windshield, the suede on the sides of the seats, the embroidery on the top of the dash, the carbon fibre trim on the doors and dash etc. Its a really nice vehicle, and a perfect size for the city. Anyone considering a CUV really should check out the XT4.

I've seen alot of the Audi Q3, since hearing about this vehicle on your page and I quite like it. Noting how expensive vehicles are now, we can now actually think about a regular brand or a luxury brand. The money will be spent, when buying, so why not spoil ourselves somewhere along the way. The only thing that may stop me with a luxury vehicle, is the price of maintenance and oil changes, since they seem to be alot more with these.

On our second XC40 T5 and looking forward to getting a third when they fully redesign it as a pure BEV. We're only on the second one because the first one kept its value so insanely well we couldn't resist the trade offer.

I own a 2023 X1…a fantastic ride. It’s a lot of fun to drive…smooth and frisky with a great ride inside. I’ve actually achieved 34 mpg in Efficient mode…the BMW App gives great stats on trips with mpg listed for the trip. It also gives a lot of useful information on the vehicle.
I’m used to the idrive software..I don’t miss knobs and buttons for various controls…it’s all easily accessible in the very nice looking user interface screen provided…an unobtrusive screen as well…looks great. I actually ordered the X1 too…something I couldn’t do with Toyota for a 2023 Prius…which is how I ended up with X1. Guess I’m stuck with the X1..lol.
I like your channel.

Thanks for another great video. Recently purchased the Q3 after looking closely at the Volvo XC40. Your reviews helped and the bang for the buck was the deciding factor. 3 months in and no complaints!

[dennisdebow]

Hi guys love your reviews!Would love to see 0 to 60 times to help in the decision making process.Thanks!

[manbtm]

Great review as always, I know this is a luxury subcompact review, but I have to admit, looking at this and the price tag associated with these vehicles, I am just so happy I have a Mazda, CX5 and a Mazda, CX 30, I feel those vehicles are almost just as good, with Price tags many thousands less. I take that money and do so many other things with the difference. Oh, well to each their own!

[remiguertin]

Great work as usual. The Audi Q3 is very interesting, once I do not need the cargo room of my RDX. But the only one interesting in Ottawa is 2023, 10, 000 km, at $58, 000…

[racevan]

My wife has the Audi Q3 and we just love that car best car we have owned so far.

[PhilHare-ernr]

Great review. Thanks. Apparently, Cadillac is coming to Australia next year. I think they'll be well received.

[limitedreach]

Acura needs a subcompact SUV in this class based off of the Integra to undercut the German’s!

[paulh]

The Audi Q3 is a terrific vehicle. We owned a 2018 and moved into a 2023 recently. Wife loves it and we love the regular fuel option as well. For someone who doesn’t have teenagers this is a great option!
