THE SUPER SUV! - Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio - Review
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio lives in the shadow of its sedan sibling, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. But while the Stelvio SUV trades some handling capabilities for practicality and storage, it still takes the Quadrifoglio badge seriously! With a 505 horsepower Twin Turbo V6 and an incredible 8-speed automatic, the Stelvio is not only incredibly quick, but also supremely playful!
But when clocking in at $94,160.00 USD ($111,040.00 CAD here in Canada) the Stelvio must not only be a fantastic driver's SUV, but also a proper luxury barge. Especially when the competition consists of the BMW X3M, Mercedes-AMG GLC63, and others famous luxury brands that might offer better dealer availability and reliability. Does the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QF charm us enough to warrant a recommendation, or are you better off going with another European super SUV? Find out in today's review!

AMG IS BACK! - Mercedes-AMG CLE53 - Review
มุมมอง 10Kวันที่ผ่านมา
The new Mercedes-Benz CLE replaces the C-Class Coupe of old and goes head-to-head with the BMW 4-Series. More specifically, this Mercedes-AMG CLE53 competes with the venerable BMW M440i which we have just tested last week! With 60 more horses, plenty of AMG drama, and flashy styling is how Mercedes wants to take down BMW. But while our review of the BMW M440i wasn't entirely positive, neither h...
THE ULTIMATE DAILY! - 2025 BMW M440i - Review
มุมมอง 4.5K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
The newly-refreshed 2025 BMW M440i isn't quite as hardcore as the full-fledged BMW M4, but still offers plenty of performance thanks to its 386 hp and 398 lb-ft B58 twin turbo inline-6. Pair that engine to BMW's xDrive AWD system (the RWD version is not available in Canada), and BMW's well-appointed interior and you have what might just be the best daily driver one can buy. At a price of $73,92...
THE KING OF SPORTS CARS! - Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack - Review
มุมมอง 1K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
The "all-new" 7th generation Ford Mustang is here! As the last standing pony car / muscle car, the Mustang outlived both the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro, but how has the lack of competition affected the world's best selling sports car? Well, first off all, this S650 Mustang GT with the performance package and 6-speed manual is less "all-new" and more a very heavy refresh for the S550 gene...
THE RAPTOR KILLER? - Jeep Gladiator Mojave - Off-Road Review

The Jeep Gladiator and Jeep Wrangler brothers are well-known for their trail-conquering prowess, but have long left the baja running and faster style off-roading to the Ford Raptors - but not anymore. This 2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave trades front-lockers for a trick Fox Shocks suspension that help position the Raptor's squarely in Jeep's sights. But can the (relatively) new kid on the block beat...

The fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata has gotten another refresh for the 2024 model year! Now in form of the ND3 Miata, this quirky convertible is the purest form of the traditional sports car available in North America. Power remains unchanged from the naturally-aspirated inline 4 at 181 horses and 151 lb-ft of torque, still exclusively sent to the rear wheels through either an automatic or (...

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is all new and ready to rewrite the midsize luxury SUV formula. Gone is the traditional steering wheel and infotainment setup, and instead the driver gets to control the vehicle using a yoke-like steering "oval" and an all-new, 48-inch infotainment screen cluster. Add new software and a significantly more refined cabin to the experience, and the new Lincoln Nautilus is...

In today's review we test the 2024 Acura TLX Type-S, Acura's premier sports sedan. With an as-spec'd price of $66,976.50 CAD here in Canada (roughly $48,800.00 USD), the Acura TLX positions itself well against the competition in form of the Genesis G70 Sport, Infiniti Q50S, and the Integra Type-S. That is however only the case here in Canada. In the US, this TLX Type-S clocks in at over $60,000...

The newly refreshed Mercedes-Benz GLE has gained a new trim: the GLE450e! This plug-in hybrid version of the midsize GLE SUV combines the GLE350's turbo inline-4 with a new PHEV system that gives it up to 75 km of range!

Hey kid and I mean it Kid ! What Nissan forgot about sports cars you haven’t learned yet !
Mh, I'm sure you can find a better insult. Try again if you want.
@ go Canada
FYI the car starts at $40,000 USD.. The price he gives is in Canadian money. thanks
Nice video, but regarding the turn signals... Before changing lanes, all you need to do is lightly push the stalk up or down without clicking it, and it will automatically blink three times for you, then it will cancel on it's own.
How do you get all these cars to review? Do you rent them?
How does it handle steep incline on highways can it accelerate good after letting off the gas for! Couple seconds?
How about some Italian flair for today? 🇮🇹 Would you take this Stelvio Quadrifoglio over German competitors such as the BMW X3M and GLC63 AMG? 🤔
Impressive sound for a 2.9 liter V6, overall very underrated car 🔥
Right? The sound when combined with the transmission and fantastic paddle shifters just make this so much fun!
Sounds amazing
We’ve owned one for 9 months - best car we’ve ever owned. So quiet in the cabin, comfortable ride, excellent speaker system, the heads up display is fantastic. And so many features you don’t notice until after you’ve owned it - the dimming side view mirrors, the auto cabin particulate filtration, the headlights turning around the corner. The only thing I am torn about is the 24 way seats - they are easy to get the perfect position, but I find them harder than the standard seats. Do NOT be afraid to negotiate and shop around. We got over $5k off.
This or Cadillac Escalade ESV
Oh, tough one as both are fantastic! I'd say if either is going to be your only car, take the Alfa (just be aware of reliability concerns), but if have a second car that might be somewhat fun already go for the Escalade.
I have a 2024 F-350 Super Duty XLT Tremor that I ordered and will be picking up in the coming weeks. 7.3 just like the Lariat you guys tested and it’s going to be my daily driver. I’m coming from a 2018 Power Wagon so I’m no stranger to how terrible these rigs ride.
City people are funny to watch in the woods 😂
Either car needs a bigger rear sway to get it to oversteer. OEs make em understeer on purpose for 'safety'
Great review of a great car. Front plate goes on the side ?
This car competes with Bmw M4 not M440i.
Pricing-wise it's closer to the M440i than the M4, but you could make an argument for either. Although I'd say a hypothetical CLE63 would be the real M4 competitor.
@@GCCarsCAcorrect. Cle53 is not even as fast as M4. M4 would eat it. Just Wait for the Cle63 🤗
Merc 6 cylinder goes back to the 40's racing cars like the 300SL
And we're glad they haven't abandoned them yet!
Thanks guys, this review saved me from buying one of these POS's. The new Tacoma is STILL TOP DOG! TRD Sport Premium 6ft bed....checks all the boxes and drives AMAZING!
Appreciate the feedback and glad we could help! We haven't been in the new Tacoma yet, but hope to do that early in the new year 👍🏻
The wife will ride in the type s She wouldn't ride in wrx sti
Same
You should be comparing it with m4 not 440i
They're both pretty close on pricing and the M4 would line-up better with a potential CLE63.
great and fun video, thanks guys - but you cant compare a 53 amg with just an "m-sportsline" bmw. you shoud have compared a cle450 with a m440i
Appreciate the kind words! We decided to compare it to the M440i because a) pricing-wise it's a little closer to it than the M4 and b) we haven't driven the M4 yet... But once we do we'll definitely reference this review again!
Awesome! Now I know what the SUV is with the best suspension. Thanks guys!
These two would be better suited to making a video as ballerinas...poor guys they don't even know how to drive a car 😂😂😂
Gotta be more creative if you want to insult us properly. Appreciate the engagement and watch time though 👌🏻
Not worth 88grand 😂
Are you sure that there is no adaptive suspension with mode switching available?
Unfortunately yes, as there is no option to change it in the individual drive mode either.
It sounds even better on the outside. It looks special
Oha der GermanCommentGamer ist aber alt geworden
Tell me about it 🫠😂 - E
As a bmw guy, I must say I really enjoyed this car 😫
Definitely a contender for this year's GCCars Enthusiast Car of the Year Award. That being said, there are a lot of potential winners this year 👀
AMG is Terminator🤔 it was dead?
When they decided to put a 4 banger into the C63, AMG briefly died.
I really like the comparison between both cars and your honesty. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! We appreciate the kind words.
Does the exhaust from outside sound better than the m440i?
Yep! While the difference is more significant on the inside due to the "higher quality" pumped in noises, the CLE does also have a nicer real exhaust note.
Way nicer notes on the outside than the M440i
I had a raptor and loved it. Recently got a Mojave and love it even more! No brainer for someone who likes trucks and loves jeeps. Is it worth 70k? Probably not but I get nothing but joy out of it and that is kind of priceless. No regrets.
That's awesome! Both the Raptor and the top-tier Jeeps are absolutely incredible vehicles and you you really can't go wrong with either of them... glad you're enjoying your Mojave!
I find it silly that Nissan sells the manual in the Sentra here, in two trims even but only sells the Versa in CVT
Which one looks better... Matte or black metallic??? Im between these two colours... With silver-black wheels!!!
Both would look fantastic, but I think the curves of the CLE would show better with the metallic paint 🙌
calling a stone a rock
Das Auto sieht in Real viel besser aus als auf den Fotos oder Videos. Ich durfte für ein Wochenende den CLE 53 testen. Optisch, genau meine Vorstellung. Wobei mir der "normale" CLE nicht gefällt. Das Touch Lenkrad empfinde ich als Rückschritt und auch die Software bräuchte ein Update da sie mich bei der Probefahrt im Stick ließ. Der Wendekreis ist trotz Hinterradlenkung leider groß. Aber das Auto macht Spaß und fällt positiv auf
Totally agree, the AMG CLE looks much better than the regular CLE and is stunning in person. As for the steering wheel, I do like the touch-based volume slider, but all the other controls would be better of as physical buttons... the carbon + suede mix and drive mode switches more than make up for that for me though! It's just a wonderful car and I'm glad you got to enjoy it for a weekend! -E
After watching both our M440i and CLE53 review, are you team M or team AMG?
Team AMG for sure... Luxury and sportiness
Team Dark Horse!
AMG all the way
Bought a CLE53 80 days ago. Happy that I did. Really nice car.
I wanna see you guys fo a test drive of the HRC Integra Type S on the Tail of the Dragon in The Great Smoky Mountains "Puff the Yellow Dragon"....Merlins Beard
That would be amazing, ha! Tail of the Dragon is on my automotive bucket list... so hopefully one day we get to drive it! -E
both recalled
@Que67kdro90 why you coming here to troll...do you drive a hyundai
@ they both were recalled what’s the issue?
@Que67kdro90 what does a simple recall have to do with anything?
@@van_der_lindeDA why are you offended it needs recalls?
@Que67kdro90 so tell me...what does your initial comment have to do with anything?
It’s a very nice car for what it was designed for. These fellas shouldn’t be reviewing it. They just don’t get it. Obviously they’ve never owned a mini.
BMW wanted us to review it, so we did. We are always open about the fact that we simply share our opinion it... and that's it, just our opinion. People may disagree with us and that's totally fine because they have other interests and perspectives than we have, which is why we love when people share their point of views with us. Simply complaining instead of sharing your perspective though helps nobody. So please, elaborate.
i wish they'd use the watts linkage in the chevy, along with the 17" wheels of the base trax, and the extra noise suppression of the buick "quiet tuning."
Small 1.6 turbo Over natural 2.5 . 100% with 2.5 . You Known nothing 😉
It's called an opinion... you are free to have your own (and we love to hear them!) but no need to be rude for absolutely no reason.
that screen is really ugly and slow
Agreed, they should've just used the regular F-150 screen which is great.
I'm glad some reviewers recognized that engine sound is lacking with these new 3 series. Granted I've only driven the 330, but I thought engine sound felt very distant and fake, especially with Iconic Sounds. The whole car was capable but felt like a simulation, even the handling
Especially when you contrast it to the CLE53 which we've just uploaded... it's a shame really because the M440i has all the basic ingredients to be absolutely incredible. And thank you for the kind words!
At least the XC40 looks like it's had a wash!
I find the review limited and lacking detailed assessment. One get the impression it was done for oneself and his friend with very little thought for the viewer. One could have compared the sport mode with comfort and Eco. The conclusion about its lack of character is just plain uninformed.
I appreciate your feedback. Sorry that this review wasn't to your liking. Unfortunately on TH-cam, we always have to strike a balance between depth and length of a video. The longer the review, the less likely it is to get many views. For that reason, our review highlights the most important aspects but skips over "less interesting" (for the average viewer) topics. There are other channels that go much more in depth, which I think will be much more to your liking :)
@@GCCarsCA appreciate your response and I will take your advice.
@@GCCarsCAi don't get it. You may record a second part of the review and even consider pushing it on a second channel.
What kind of a driver are you dude- when your backside shivers your brake foot quivers - get it together already WHEN I DROVE 14 Ton buses for THE NYC TRANSIT AUTHORITY we knew that if the rear of the BEAST swayed the foot on the AIRBRAKES STAYED
I think this will be my next car. Used of course lol
Great choice! And financially sound, ha! 😅
fyi, the B58(gen2) does NOT have two turbochargers(2 snails). it has a one twin-scroll turbo(1 snail), which bmw calls TwinPower. i'm sure it's to confuse us...
the comment that i'm looking for
Welp... that what happens when you skim over the spec sheet. Good catch, and thanks for pointing that out! We'll make sure that doesn't happen again 😅
None of the b58 generations is twinturbo i believe?
@@GCCarsCAIts all good. It is only human to make mistakes
Our review of the new Mercedes-AMG CLE53 (the direct competitor to this M440i) is going live next Sunday!
I would love to see the type s with the type r spoiler
That could be interesting!
The Type S is really missing out. For it's price, it should have a 5th seat, acoustic glass, rear climate control, Iconic drive color changing ambient lighting, premium leather, auto folding mirrors, power front passenger seat, and available SH-AWD.
yup it’s way overpriced for a civic
And 1000lbs more 🤭 Is perfect the way it is. Less crap to go wrong, same agility as the CTR and simpler than a regular luxury car.❤
@ $55,000 for a made in ohio fwd civic with hellcat fender flares with no sunroof and navigation cooled seats and missing other basic amenities is insane.
@@67keyakaren68 meanwhile to get a 4+ seater more agile than this you need to pay way more than that because you wont find it for less. Well, maybe you can. If you find a CTR at MSRP. 😉
