Two New Zealanders review cars and talk absolute rubbish along the way.
How 900nm of torque feels in a STOCK Volkswagen Touareg
VW Touareg Review. Have you heard of the Volkswagen Touareg with the 4.0 V8 Twin Turbo DIESEL engine!? It runs a slightly detuned version of the pre-facelift Audi SQ7 TDI motor, yet somehow the VW Touareg flew under the radar!
We test the 0-100 km launch (0-60mph), sound, styling, interior, R-line parts, and of course the "plane-like" 900NM of torque (664 lb-ft) from its surprisingly fast diesel motor.
Oh, and we clearly have no idea how to pronounce Touareg...

Can a Non-Car Person Fall for a 2013 Audi RS4 Avant?
มุมมอง 6Kหลายเดือนก่อน
North America didn't get the B8 Audi RS4 Avant. But what about Andy? We try to convince a non-car enthusiast to lust after a used B8.5 2013 Audi RS4 Avant. We cover the performance and acceleration (including 0-60 mph / 0-100 km/h), exhaust sound, DSG transmission, wheels, interior, B&O sound system, and more. We also touch on the #Audi #RS4 styling compared to the #AMG #C63 and #BMW #M3. Don't...
Could the AMG GLC 43 coupe be the pick of the bunch? It depends...

Style meets performance, but what about practicality? We review the first generation 2018 #Mercedes #AMG #GLC43 including acceleration, interior, styling, and plenty of nonsense. Compared to its #Audi #SQ5 and #BMW #X4 rivals, how does it hold up? We'll cover beans, bumps, and brutal gear shifts among the "compromised" shape of the coupe. We'll also unpack a very average analogy 👠 Chapters in o...

Why the BMW 440i is contentious...
มุมมอง 2082 หลายเดือนก่อน
The #F36 #440i Gran Coupe is a car that might just be your perfect pick because there’s no 4 door liftback M4 in the lineup to overshadow it. We explore how this #B58 powered #BMW 440i Gran Coupe delivers the ideal balance of performance and practicality, but is the styling too much of a compromise? Only you can decide. And us. And everyone else. Oh man, there are too many people deciding now! ...
My dad have the this Touareg in a boring grey, they are on point. Because my dad bought this because he is very often out visiting customers on construction sites, gravel pits and factories. It goes so well under the radar, (he says).
900 nanometers
@@Wolf-yj2qp or is it nautical miles? 😂
We got kiwi throttlehouse before gta 6
@@akazi600 haha that's a huge compliment for us, and a very niche diss for GTA 6
7:50 whaaaaat man my 1.2Tce 130hp megane has the same consumption 😪
@@nightbleeding2759 yeah we were pretty shocked at the fuel economy. Big power diesels are our new obsession
Comparing to m550d x drive would be intresting. 3L 6cylinders and 4 turbos at 400hp and 760Nm
We're very keen to drive one (or an X5 M50D). On paper, it makes less power and torque than this Touareg - it made us wonder if any diesel engine can match this V8 TDI?
@@kiwiGTshow only Audis v12 TDI in a q7 i can think of
@@craigauty6756 true, that does make more power and torque. Need to drive one of those too. The 0-100 (0-62) time is slower, so I'm guessing it's the extra weight and the 6 speed transmission letting it down there
@kiwiGTshow yeah I heard it could make alot more than 1000NM but transmission couldn't handle it
From memory the engine is very similar but not completely same as the SQ7. The 4.0 TDi on the SQ7 has an electric compressor driven by 48v to eliminate low rpm turbo lag. (Practically a 3rd turbo). The VW didn’t employ the electric compressor (due to cost?) instead they played with the cams and valves at low rpm to try and reduce the lag.
"Came out of nowhere?" They announced it two years ago. 🤣
The stock redline/limiter on those rs4’s sounds AMAZING. Cracking production quality & great video lads, keep it up 👍
We couldn't believe that the revs kept climbing - it sounded like it was going to blow up but in the best possible way. Thanks so much for the kind comment, mate!
100% on the philosophical ideology of ICE over EV
Wagons are so hot right now....that many manufacturers have discontinued (their fault)
Yeah, I think the C8 RS6 had a lot to do with the recent hype around wagons (especially in North America). But to be fair they've been popular in UK, Australia, and New Zealand for decades.
Maybe this has something to do with VW ibvesting 5bn into Rivian
VW dealers groups suing VW over this.
it's legit a copy of a rivian, the interior, the exterior.
Great Video, i was really surprised your chanel is this small. I really hope that you guys will get the Attention you deserve in the future. Keep the good work up.
@@jango-qk1pu you legend, thanks for the kind words! We'll keep at it. Next car is a 900 NM Volkswagen...
I think it looks nice, just looks though
No it didn’t, we’ve know about this for at least a year
I want one ;)
Lovely cars. Hearing SAFFA accent there too. Anyway loved the review.
@@marlonbaird6070 cheers for the kind words mate! One of us is from South Africa originally so that makes sense 😁
VW going bankrupt by following Electric/ Reason it not reliable, Charging time inconvenience, battery replacement price and etc.... If Scout came out as combustion and 2 tanks " It would meant only for ADVENTUROUS SOULS" Adding Solar panels to vehicle and charging station- Would turn it into the ultimate truck. The Ultimate comeback - Adding to German economy boost
Waiting on the horse and buggy option with you b4 I buy 😂
Used to own a B8.5 V8 RS4 just like this... That 8,250 redline didnt grow old. I was paying frequent visits to the gas station though! 😅
That's awesome, what did you buy after the RS4? They're definitely thirsty beasts. We used 1/4 of a tank filming this review with just a few pulls and about 20m of driving around talking smack.
A stage 2+ b8 s4 has more power (460awhp) and still has no lag with the supercharger and comes alot cheaper, it's down side is it will never sound as good as the v8 and dosent rev as high
@@craigauty6756 yeah we remember that video from Chris Harris comparing a tuned S4 to a stock RS4 and it won - it might have even been stage 1?!
@kiwiGTshow yup that was just a flash tune, I'm stage 2+ with wmi ontop and sit around 550-570hp. I'd love a manual b7 rs4 for purity and people do turbo them upwards of 1000hp just 35k for the kit
@@craigauty6756 yeah the owner of this B8.5 RS4 also wanted a manual B7 - they're so expensive though!
Definitely not going to be 60K and also VW has given them money, but it is entirely a US product. Meaning VW doesn’t own them.
They 100% own them. But you are right they are being run as an independent entity. American designed and made in South Carolina. And unlike other electric trucks it’s a body on frame with a solid axle……not saying that makes it any better, but those are the facts
Definitely not going to be 60k
Also while there is no denying it has some shared looks to a Rivian, it shares nothing with a Rivian, and is much bigger look up the specs these things are almost full size vehicles
A gas hybrid is available as well with 500 miles of range which definitely separates it for the all electric options on the market, I reserved one 😅
That’s makes it far more appealing
I won't buy a vehicle in its very 1st model year
Euro cars are beautiful but they are all unreliable. Yes there is going to be people that have been lucky but most are not.
Honestly... I've had 10 Euros over the past 5 years or so and besides normal maintenance, the only thing that's broken was a sensor that cost a couple hundred bucks. Key is to make sure you're buying a car that's been properly maintained, and keep that up. I'm not saying they're a Toyota, but I do feel as though they get flogged on when they're not as bad as some people make them out to be. Maybe I'll go backrupt tomorrow 😅
How did this one feel with regards to its ks? Still fresh to drive?
@@BenThomas089 this example has done 90,000kms and it felt tight. The DSG shifted well and the interior had no rattles and generally held up well. It's hard to say if the engine was in top condition given these suffer from carbon build up but it seemed strong all the way through the rev range 👍
I click on the video without looking at views, and half way through, i realised how small this channel is, but how good the video was made. All the luck to you lads, insane quality for such a small channel 👍
@@vator_rs this made our day, thanks for the kind words mate! Comments like this motivate us to keep going 🙏
Hey guys great start to the channel! Can't wait to see which car you'll film next. Just a couple of back seat driver pieces of feedback. Chuck in a few more B rolls - shots of the exterior walking around the car and shots of the car driving. Just to break up the conversations in the car. Modern day media means us as consumers have limited attention spans so good to add in some stuff to wake us up and keep us excited. Otherwise, production quality is good and cool to see people speak about cars in such a passionate and interested way. Good luck for the future and you gained a subscriber 🇳🇿
Mate, thanks so much for the feedback! And we 100% agree, we're in DIRE need of more B roll. Even if it's just of a rubbish bin. Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated 👍
also I believe Mini's design head will be taking over designing the mid size vehicles (1-4 series)?
Nobody is making any vids on this. This is really good.
Good. Kick Dekec out of BMW forever
Yes. Its official. Bad move for Polestar, good move for BMW...Missoni was an asset for Polestar, they wont be the same without him...we still dont know the reasons that led to this decision...
Off to a good start, I see the savagegeese inspiration. It would be nice to capture some sounds from the car, maybe some drive by on throttle, stationary free reving etc.. would be good to hear about the power to weight, how easy it is to modulate the power, handling balance, suspension characteristics, mechanical grip (of course heavily impacted by tires). Missing some interior footage, the interior is what you see and touch most of the time so it would be nice to have a focus in there. Anyhow that's enough from this back seat driver.
Thanks so much for the feedback, mate! Some awesome notes there for us to noodle on. Much appreciated!
