all right everybody knows I'm not a
Korean car y Ikea fan guy didn't buy it
though he's had this Tucson for a little
over a year and a half now and realized
he's leasing it because he was going to
get a Toyota rap 4 but there were two
things that bothered him the first was
this Tucson has a nice screen integrated
with the dash where the Toyota had that
one that looks like somebody stuck an
iPad there and he hated it and the other
thing was the price he's leasing this
210 bucks a month the r fours they were
350 bucks a month and up and you're not
going to believe this but it's the truth
this was a new model that just came out
the saleswoman at the yundai dealer told
him no don't buy this car lease it she
said it's a new model things might go
wrong you won't have to worry about
anything because you're leasing if you
like it later you can always pay off the
lease and he's got another year and a
half left on the lease and he just told
me ah he doesn't know he' probably get
rid of and get something else as a
compromised vehicle mainly because of
the price and he really hated that iPad
looking thing in a Toyota I tend to
agree it's intrusive to the design of
the car and it's kind of annoying that
you got this bump sticking up there I
got to agree with on that but
considering that he gets 39 M a gallon
on the highway when he was driving at
regular speeds good gas mileage he
didn't have to worry about the repairs
because he has known it he's lease on it
black and silver interior we'll start it
up it's got cool looking digital dashes
I'll say that got a nice display sunroof
Collision of hiding system air
conditioned seats different speeds
heated seats different speeds both sides
easy to get to anytime you want to look
back just push your back camera there's
a view you don't have to be in Reverse
handy little thing I even like the cool
rolling volume for the red look at it
really easy to use and when you turn the
thing off
watch Happy music now when you consider
he's only paying 210 bucks a month to
lease it hey nice looking
vehicle it's got a lot of room for the
back seat has heating air condition in
the back seat it's comfy back here you
can easily get three people in here or
have a nice armrest with cup holders now
this is a two wheel drive version but he
follows my videos he lives on the Coast
you put snow tires on the front of this
thing he doesn't get stuck anywhere if
you do get an all-wheel drive vehicle
and one tire goes bad you got to buy all
four that's a lot of money every time
you get a flat tire the all-wheel drive
systems all the tires have to be almost
exactly the same size cuz if they're
different then that messes with the
computer systems they're all run by
computers it ends up burning out the
transfer cases it can wreck
differentials they want to have them all
the same size so if you really want to
take care of your vehicle and you have
an all-wheel drive vehicle every time a
tire goes out boomo you got to buy four
of them and they have to be the same
exact tires too and generally with the
way that four-wheel drive vehicles are
set up tires are very expensive tires I
had a guy the other day bring one it
cost him a thousand bucks every time
he's got to swap the tires on think
about that do you need to have a
four-wheel drive vehicle hey this is the
East Coast right it snows he has no
problems with snow tires on his things
it works perfectly fine you pay less for
it and you're going to get better gas
modage because the four-wheel drive
systems every single one of them gets
worse gas mod because of the weight the
extra Drive Wheels the only vehicle that
goes further with four-wheel driver the
fancy tesl that have a motor on each
wheel but that's electric motors run by
computers it's a completely different
thing than a gasoline version all-wheel
drive vehicle so let's look under the
hood it's a 2.5 l 4cylinder
GDI engine it's got 181 horsepower which
isn't too bad not turbocharged which is
good so you got a 2.5 L engine which has
a big enough size engine it's not a
little bit of tiny 1.4 or 1.1 L 3
cylinder turbo it's big enough 2.5 L is
a decent sized engine and it's hooked up
to an 8-speed transmission now the man
may be very lucky but we don't know yet
cuz you never know how they expand it
but hyai is just recalling a bunch of
these 8-speed automatic transmissions
for an electric pump that doesn't work
right that shorts up that doesn't go
anywhere but if you look at the list
here it's got Santa Fe Sonata Velar
Elantra cona and Santa Cruz but it does
not have the Tucson they didn't recall
this one so maybe this one is slightly
different I don't know all I know is a
recalling some of those but on the other
hand the man was smart because he leases
the thing he doesn't own it if the
transmission did go out it's not on his
watch they would have to fix it under
warranty anyway don't buy it she said
and she was a sadw woman leas it in case
there a problem so he doesn't have to
worry but say you're going to buy a used
one get the VIN number of the car the
easiest one's right in the windshield
right there and go to the national
highway trffic safety association. goov
website and you just type in V number
and if there's a recall it pops up and
if it says well they're recalling for
the transmission like well I'm not going
to buy that one Ed buy something else
right that's one advantage of Leasing
and with things the way they are today
210 bucks a month is actually a really
good deal that he got for the suy site
he wanted the R 4 like the ugly screen
but he also didn't like the 350 bucks
plus you know that's almost twice the
210 he's paying so you really can't
argue with that you see his engine
compartment is dirty but he doesn't care
he listens to me don't put water in
clean you can ruin the electronics you
don't live under there at picnic so who
cares and it does have a dual system it
has GDI injectors and it also has Port
injectors we'll pull off the stupid
Beauty cover you can see it has both
kinds of injector the regular fuel
injectors here you can't see the GDI
there hidden inside so it's not an
engine you got to worry about carbon
buildup on intake vals it's got a system
to solve that there's a lot of
technology in it especially in that
8-speed automatic transmission that's
how he actually gets better gas Modge
than it's rated at low highway speeds
but it also gets in the teens when
you're in town cuz understand one thing
about just about every SUV out there
they're relatively high up in the air
they're relatively non- aerodynamic so
they're always going to be pretty much
gas Hogs you're driving in town cuz
you're stopping and going stopping and
going and like all modern cars it's LED
and it's got a beautiful front I mean
it's impressive lighting system that's
second for a spin and he just told me he
thinks it's maybe a little crappy car
but he really likes the way it looks got
a nice look now he never uses the manual
shifting he just puts it and drive and
drives it first thing I notice is it's
incredibly quietness thing it's it's not
loud at all that's just the wipers going
up and down cuz it's raining it went all
the hump pretty good and I got to say
it's pretty comfortable to drive around
it realize sometimes in an insane car
market like the one that exists today
where people are paying more for used
cars than new cars sometimes a lease
like this is not that bad of an idea
because you can play it by ear and
believe me if a year and a half from now
the big recession is going full swing
and he decides he's going to buy it
he'll probably get a pretty good buyout
price on it at least cuz they'll be
stuck with tons of them and they won't
know what to do with them it does have
the automatic shut off and the owner
just said he hates it and so do
I it's so annoying you it really is it's
just annoying there's something annoying
about it and here we
go hey this thing's got plenty to get up
and go considering it's not turbocharged
he it's got a lot of oomph to it and you
can see it's got all the automatic Lane
departure stuff and really hey it's
slippery out here this thing handles the
corner there's no slip all it's nice
handy little vehicle now he was telling
me he shuts off the automatic shut off
sometimes and what should he do so I
told them shut it off all the time you
got to do it after you start the car cuz
it's automatically on 90 something per
of the where your car is guess what when
you start the car they claim they have
better bearings Rings you name it but
it's baloney all the vehicles that have
stopped start system I see the engines
wear and they end up burning oil too
early you got a system like that my
advice is just turn it off so there we
have it a new yundai Tucson and as the
guy says it's kind of crappy but I like
the way it looks I like the features it
has and he's leasing it for only
$210 a month the Toyota that he wanted
was 350 up per month a lot of difference
maybe he'll keep it maybe he won't keep
it but at that price point for what he
got now of course what I'm wondering is
I showed you earlier is that 8-speed
automatic transmission is being recalled
on a bunch of them it didn't include the
two sign yet so maybe that'll have a
problem but he doesn't have to worry
about it cuz he's leasing it as
everybody knows I'm not really a big fan
of leasing but in this case I am a big
fan of
leasing we have what usually an Nemesis
to me a BMW it is a 2021 m440i it is an
extremely fast car he bought it second
hand with low mileage you can see it's a
beautiful car he just had it detailed he
just had it done by Q Car here and you
can see it made it pop it's a real
ceramic they don't just dribble stuff on
they spraying on I mean look at that
paint it's insane and as we look inside
they did the leather over to oh it's
unbelievable the black with a blue
stitching it is a beautiful car this is
one of the two reasons he got it he
loved the color he love the car and
under the hood it's got a double pull
latch they don't want you sneaking in
now it is an ultra Dependable BMW
6-cylinder engine 8speed trans
transmission ZF makes the best
transmissions in the world this is one
fast little car now I understand one
thing this is a driver's car the man who
owns it never been married doesn't have
kids he takes Ultra care of this thing
but the detail that was done now he
doesn't want to wax a car himself and
have to get all the little wax things
off with Q-tips cuz he really wants it
to look good so he paid that company to
do it now he doesn't really have to do
anything for years other than wash and
clean this isn't the usual ceramic
coating where somebody sells you a
little little bottle for 50 60 bucks
wiping on no this is a spray treatment
they had the car for 3 Days doing it now
he wanted something that you can drive
every day and also Drive seriously if
you want to go fast so as you can see
this thing has sport suspension Comfort
suspensions Eco Pro with adaptive and
auto High also turn the traction control
on or off you can turn parking Aids on
and off of course it's got very fancy
backup and side view camera see it shows
even when you open the door how much
space you have so you don't hit anything
if something's on the side camera in the
sky watching you I don't know how they
do that stuff but it's kind of amazing
it's of course is super comfortable but
it's really the engine which has a
starting button down here I turn the
radio off and look the radio is a
regular on off button in a dial hey I
like it simple to use right but it's the
engine hey that's what people go for and
the interesting thing is there a hard
driver check it out coming over here on
the highway got 37.0 MP gallon now it
went down cuz we're idling wasting gas
so let's turn it off how you like
sunroofs it's got sunroof too I I really
don't care for sunroof but plenty of
room in the back even though it's only a
twod door I warrant you engine
compartment hot open carefully reminds
me of an old customer of mine with a BMW
she unfortunately didn't know that much
about cars and she opened her BMW hood
when it was overheating she opened the
radiator cap and it burned her all over
her face her arms so I guess maybe BMW
owners have to be warned about stuff
like that I mean look even the inside is
painted beautifully German quality these
are made in Germany by Germans even
though they're low profile tires they're
not too low profile tires there's not
any blowouts in them yet and they handle
quite well and they ride really good if
you want to put it in the nice smooth
ride mode you put it in the sport mode
it's got a rough ride and you can drive
like a maniac but you want it smooth
just push comfort then you got Comfort
ride now the owner wasn't even looking
for one of these things when he went in
a dealer they were servic in his car he
said let me try one of those out well he
tried it out immediately he wanted to
buy one but he bought it used and saved
a bunch of money he listened to his
father who also happens to be here today
with a yandai we're going to check out
new yundai but his father told him years
ago don't ever get a motorcycle you kill
yourself cuz the father had motorcycles
he even had one of those Infamous 750
Kawasaki two-stroke death machines and
his father's got the scars to prove it
so he listen to his father and he never
got a motorcycle so he likes fast cars
instead which are a lot safer than fast
motorcycles now he's got one one big
problem with his car though and that's
this he just wants to go to work but
people always want to race him in the
car right and it is a rable car there's
no arguing that but it's an everyday
driver too I like the glow-in-the-dark
car look there's the car the hoods open
you open the door wo look now the door
glows I can play with that all day long
goes up to 200 mph but it does have a
speed limit or 155 he said he hasn't
taken it that fast he's only gone like
135 so plenty fast enough for what
anybody needs to drive down the road I
mean let's face the facts now there
aren't that many cars out there this
fast that you can actually get 37 M
gallon he had it 40 on highway but then
he had to take some back roads and went
down to 37 phenomenal for a vehicle that
has this speed with a six-cylinder
engine that are notorious for lasting
forever it's the inline BMW 6 proving
that you can still make a driver's car
with an inline six now back in the day
people were saying No this too small
well now it's a big engine because
everybody's going to fours and threes so
this engine just keeps rolling along
they had a little power here this is a
single turbo so let's take for Spin and
see what it does look at these fancy
seat belts watch we take it
off now watch what happens when we close
the
door it comes out look at that space AG
you must be comfortable in your BMW go
lock it up then it goes back in place
that is cool at least it is as long as
it still works there a nice size glove
box real armrest he's added a radar
detector smart moveing the car this fast
now we'll check out this beautiful
backup system that this thing has here
we go and you notice it's moving as we
do although I do have to say the sky is
a false color it doesn't look that blue
now we've got it on the nice suspension
and this thing is riding smooth on these
horrible Road Island roads now we're
going to put in sport
mode and I can fill the bumps now I'd
leave it in this mode for the way we're
going for a drive though and here we go
let's listen to that
motor wow what a sound and we got to
slow down and it's slowing itself down
it's got that BMW 6 Z noise and hey it's
not obnoxious like Ferraris and stuff
but it shows you mean business and he
listen like a downshift is that ZF
hspeed that's a phenomenal transmission
you can drive it anywhere you you
want here we
go and that's just one turbo imagine
what it would do with two turbos it does
make it a little bit faster but it's
insanely fast anyways so maybe that's
Overkill one interesting thing as you
heard the noise that's why it was in
sport mode when you put it in Comfort
mode not only does it ride better
because it changes suspension but it
quiets the car down because it's got
little electronic stuff on the back that
when you go to sport it opens it up more
for a Wide Open Exhaust and then when
you go into the Comfort it quiets it
down so if you live in the Hoy pooy
neighborhood you can come in quiet and
then when you leave you can be
loud now this is also a 48v mild hybrid
so that's where you get the zip and
that's how you can get 37 m a gallon and
you got 40 on highle started driving on
the road their BMW 6-cylinder engine
they're going to last a long time
they're not going to fall apart now
granted these cars are for select people
who want a car like this they want
something that's got all-wheel drive
phenomenal gas modage all kinds of Power
beautiful looking car it's his baby he's
going to take care of it it's not a car
for everyone it's a driver's car but
he's single never got married doesn't
have any kids he really takes care of
his Vehicles so yeah if this thing gets
old it's going to have a lot of complex
problems especially being a hybrid but
got very few miles on it for my
experience with these things they
generally don't start falling apart till
they get well over 100 something
thousand miles on them and since it's
only one turbo and not two that's half
the price when you got to replace that
so if you're looking for something that
can get gas modage and have power and
you don't care about spending some money
now you did care somebody spending money
cuz he bought it used saved himself
quite a bit of money buying it used
right and if you do any kind of
Maintenance yourself you're going to
save yourself a ton of money but realize
this is a mild hybrid BMW Turbo there's
a lot of stuff that nobody but a BMW
mechanic is going to really mess around
with it's got all the high-tech features
he wanted everything he wanted in a car
he pretty much fell in love with the
thing when he saw it and he had to buy
it and hey he got what he paid for so
far I mean it's a screamer it goes fast
it gets great gas mod it's a beautiful
looking car it is BW they're very
expensive to fix they're very expensive
to buy they're very expensive to
maintain but hey if it's your baby and
that's what you want to do there aren't
that many of these things going out
there but they sell every single one of
them that they make
here is a 2024 Jetta GLI everybody knows
I'm not a Volkswagen fan but I'll show
the pluses in minus and the owner is
totally honest about it now it comes
with the 4year 50,000 Mi warranty but
the guy who bought it's no fool he paid
1,900 bucks for the Volkswagen 100,000 M
10year warranty because he knows it's a
Volkswagon right he likes it it's Zippy
and he paid $228,000 for it so it's a
relatively low PRC car these days now
you might wonder why people still buy
Volkswagens right are they all crazy
well maybe they're crazy to some extent
but for
$28,000 to get a Zippy car like this
with a six-speed manual and a turbo that
really hauls down the road for that
price you know and they do handle well
that's how they sell these things just
the plain Jett is this is a fancy G and
it's an an ver Edition too but just the
plain J us they sold millions of them
because they don't cost much and they're
pretty Zippy now he was smart he bought
the warranty because as we look under
the hood this Baby's only got 6,000 mil
but he burned in a little oil he had to
add oil to it and fuel rail was rattling
and Volkswagen had to fix that free and
believe it or not they also had to
replace one of the CV boots because it
ripped in the grease leaked out
now quality control these are made in
Mexico realize that yeah getting that
extra warranty was probably a smart move
look at all the
plastic the intakes plastic there's
plastic everywhere and I guarantee
between now and 10 years from now if he
still has it under warranty bunch of
this plastic stuff's going to start
breaking that's what happens with folks
waging door handles Motor Parts they
make stuff out of plastic to build a car
that's as fast as this and fun to drive
and be able to sell it at a profit for
$28,000 of course you know they're
making a Mexico cuz the Labor's cheaper
there's something there but there's
awful lot of plastic parts in there that
are going to break when it gets older I
mean hey the CV boot already
broken they had to insulate the fuel
rail you know and it's only got 6,000
miles on it even the owner said you got
to get that warranty cuz Hey they'll
break the bank if you keep them any
length of time and don't have a warranty
on them it's got over 225 horsepower got
a turbo on it it's plenty Zippy enough
you get an engine you put a turbo on
it's going to wear out faster but then
again he's got 100,000 M 10year warranty
on the engine so if the turbo blows up
the engine blows up Volkswagen's going
to have to fix it for free and let's
face it it's already burning oil now so
odar he's going to cash in on that
engine warranty maybe one or two times
between now and 10 years are 100,000
miles understand there's a price to pay
to get a lot of power out of an engine
like this they're notorious for being
oil burners as they age that's just
because the turbos and the way
Volkswagen makes their engines they're
Zippy but they all tend to burn oil his
friend's got one of those Audi 2 lers
and he says he puts a quarter oil in it
practically every time he puts gasoline
in it so but his friend likes the Audi
too cuz they're Zippy cars and this is
is a GLI 40 in ver I mean look it's
beautiful it's got nice really
comfortable seats six-speed manual
transmission
and actually quite a bit of room in the
back seat so we'll check the trunk okay
it's a hold down up and goes hey PR
sporty car look at that and that's what
the seats up there is a lot of room in
this trunk and the Germans are normally
relatively conservative with their
paints set up so I mean it's a nice gray
it's really nice gray with black trim
nice Wheels now he does complain it's
got crappy hand cooked tires as he said
what do you expect when you pay 28 grand
for a car you're not going to get really
fancy tires when these wear out he'll
put better tires on them right he's
using these you drive them till they
wear out then put better ones on there's
always something going on if there is a
price differential take an analogy like
Subaru Subarus make decent cars but
lately they've been really cheapening
them down instead of putting on regular
gaskets and a valve covers they using
silicone glue and then when it leaks you
got to pull the engine out replace the
two sets on each side which is a real
pain in the butt now mind you they don't
do it till they get 100 something
thousand miles but still to sell the
Subarus at the lower price to sell them
you get somewhat lower quality and in
this case they just put lower Quality
Tires on you can change that anytime you
want so let's take a look into ins side
okay will sit inside and man these seats
are comfy got the push button
start sippy and he's a young guy driving
fast he still got 31.3 m a gallon
driving it very nicely integraded screen
not some ugly thing that's stuck on I
got to say it's got a good design
six-speed gearbox resuming along and of
course it's got electric parking brake
they all do and you can chck the various
modes custom driving mode you can have
Eco Comfort normal sport of course we'll
put it on sport cuz I'm driving it and
aerodynamically it's set up nice the
heating AC is all just down here simple
to do you don't have to keep guessing
but 8 million things to set it's all
just simple at your fingertips with
actual clicking dials not some stupid
thing that you got to keep pushing
computer buttons actual clicking dials I
like that backup camera looks pretty
good nice wide angle you get a good view
if anybody's neara it even says look
safe to
move do have a sunroof which is fine
with me I think they're stupid anyway
it's got a very smooth idle modern
technology makes four-cylinder engines
idle nice and smooth look a manual SE I
can move it back I can move it forward I
don't have to worry about Electronics
breaking so we got sport mode put it in
reverse and here we go here you go on
the world's worst roads Rhode Island at
least the United States worst roads and
we'll see how it handles these bumpy
things and really quite well for a small
wheel-based car like this and I've got
it on uh sport mode I don't even have it
on Comfort mode These are nice handling
cars there's no arguing that that's how
they sell them so here we go up the hill
and we'll see how Zippy this thing is
here we go
nice and sippy especially when that
turbo kicks in hey this thing's fun to
drive not fun to fix but it certainly is
fun to drive and with his warranty he
didn't really have to worry about
anything as long as he doesn't run into
something nice stable stopping got to
say there a whole bunch of fun to drive
around there's no arguing at just make
sure you get the warranty if you buy one
brand new and don't have to think about
anything for 10 years or 100,000 miles
ding wheel it doesn't just look good
it's not just formance function too it's
just the right size for doing some
serious
driving and the power assist is
phenomenal you don't feel any kind of
lag it doesn't over steer or under steer
it's a fun car to drive and unlike the
one I tried out the other day that the
guy only paid two grand for this one
doesn't
backfire it just goes no popping on this
one the gaug is here oil temperature
everything set up a nice car for zipping
around in for
$28,000 well he must have been driving
it hard cuz now look at me I was driving
it hard he was driving harder than me
now he's getting 39.6 m a gallon now an
interesting sideline here is it's a
turbo but you're run it on regular gas
look regular you don't need to put High
test in got power and gas mileage and
you can use the cheap gas the technolog
is there today that they can run turbos
and fast engines on regular gasoline you
don't need to buy something that's got
to run on premium gas now a lot of
companies actually lie about it and say
they have to run on premium I've seen
tons of people with Acuras they never
put premium and they run perfectly fine
now they're going to lose a few
horsepower granted like the Mustang
EcoBoost 4 it's like 340 or something
with high test and then it loses about
40 horsepower with regular gas but this
runs on regular gas it's all he's
running it and it runs perfectly fine so
this is what you get with a brand new
Jetta GLI fun to drive but I mean I'm
thinking 6,000 miles and it's already
starting to burn oil a good thing he
bought the warranty boy if I had a car
like that I have cars that are 30 years
old don't burn oil yeah this thing's
only got 6,000 and the CV boot Greece
came out they had to replace that it was
under warranty of course but that just
kind of shows you it's not Perfection
quality by any stret of the imagination
but it is fun to drive he's not going to
have to worry about anything for 10
years or 100,000 miles so what the heck
for 28,000 bucks something that's this
Zippy and gets gas mods like that that's
how they sell these things Volkswagen
has sold cars in the United States for a
long time because they're Zippy they get
good gas mileage and most people they
hope they don't break once they' had the
Audi 2 L turbo they understand they
break and they burn oil generally they
don't buy another one right but with a
warranty and I would never buy one of
these cars without a warranty I don't
care and this isn't some BS Warranty
company this is through Volkswagen so if
the engine blows they're going to
have to replace it they have no way to
get out of it you know much spending
that kind of money and the warranty was
only like 1,900 bucks extra it's
definitely worth it they're a lot of fun
to drive they're nice looking cars and
they are Zippy that's why they sell them
to people these aren't cars that
somebody who's going to buy a Corolla or
a Toyota Camry are going to buy they
want something that's going to run
forever they don't care too much about
too much acceleration these they can be
a lot of fun yeah they can fall apart
but with a warranty hey
if you could be like the guy that came
over here the other week with the GLI
that he only paid a couple thousand
dollar for and then fixed it up himself
if you're mechanically inclined I mean
this guy even rebuilt the engine and
replaced the transmission so you got to
be pretty mechanically inclined maybe
down the line when he gets tired of this
some guy will end up buying it and do
something like that but if you want to
get one of these things basically you
better off buying at new getting a
warranty and they not having to deal
with the Volkswagen dealerships cuz if
you know anybody who ever dealt with
Volkswagen dealership they're like I'm
never going back to the Volkswagen deal
I got to find a German mechanic
somewhere else and there's a lot of guys
that work on German cars that don't work
at the dealership know what they're
doing they're going to charge money of
course but at least you can find some
honest guy that isn't crooked as the
Volkswagen dealers are every time they
turn around they want a small fortune to
work on a car now you know what you get
with a brand new one you can decide you
want to spend 28 grand and buy the
warranty for an additional 19900 you
kind of do that oh or maybe you want
something Plain Jane this is not a plain
Jane car by the fact that it's a
six-speed manual transmission 96% of
Americans don't drive manual
transmissions so they've only got a
small market and the people that want a
car like this some of them will be real
happy driving this thing
around so if you never want to miss
