Jamaican here listening from Jamaica 🇯🇲 Much Love!! Indeed Bob Marley legend! Exodus one of the greatest Albums ever made!! Love the car content Andrea and Zach listen every week. Would love a segment dedicated to used cars... Help buyers on which cars 2 -5 years old are best to buy 😊
"And other activities" - you guys are hilarious, authentic, and informative!
Love how Zack sneaked in And Other Activities. 😅
It is so rare to see people walking around in their community, as much as I have seen on your videos. I would love to see this community where you do these videos. Good Job.
Van Name: "The Shagging Wagon"...
Correct!
Watch your punctuation: "Shaggin' Wagon."😄
Hi Zach, Andrea. With the price of new cars quickly becoming out of reach for the middle class, how about you allocate some of your content strictly for the used vehicle market? I am starting to see in my immediate circle of family, friends, and neighbors, a markedly increased interest in purchasing a used vehicle when their current lease is up. I am guessing that over the next few years there will be a huge interest globally, in gently used vehicles that have depreciated 30-50% from their MSRPs. I'm thinking that, say once a month, you could dedicate a whole episode of Questions, Coffee and Cars to answer questions about used vehicles. Just a suggestion. By the way, you guys are becoming a National Treasure for us Canadians!
Love this idea ❤
Love this idea +2
This is a GREAT idea! And agree they are national treasures! I would also love to see then driving a base model now and then but I understand the manufacturers don't generally send then those.
Motormouth Redriven?
Takes a lot longer for used vehicle to depreciate that much these days.
Hey guys!! Thanks for the shout out! We got the 2025 MINI Cooper S 2-door not the Countryman. We thought it was too big and 👎🏻 on the styling too. The regular Cooper S is still cute and sporty! A few changes but not that different from 24. Interior is where the big changes are but so far so good!☮️🤘🏻🚗💨
That is awesome!
Congratulations, so glad you guys are enjoying it!
Great suggestion on the Outlander PHEV! very versatile, and level 1 works great
You guys are so entertaining. Love the VW camper van stories! Keep Jamin!
Toyota seriously needs redeeming so I’m tuned in to Bob Marley’s Redemption Song! Toyota owner here! Love Bob Zach but lovin’ Andrea more! “I’m Andrea” is the phrase I look forward to several times a week.
Tundra changed from the V8 in 2022. Bad part is they are still having issues with these trucks even after 2 years. I still have faith in Toyota but it is being tested.
Big fan of your channel since I
found you a few years ago.
I'm a former radio program director
air talent /music director for 12 years
over 5 states...now just trying my best
to survive Florida 😂 Bob Marley is my
all time favorite artist. Have not seen the
movie but his message was timeless.
The next-gen i3 will be built on the Neue Klasse platform, and will be available in sedan and Touring models. According to Bimmerpost (a reliable source when it comes to future BMW Group products), it should begin production in 2026.
You guys are like the cool parents I would encounter at my friends places. Total Point grey vibe lmao
Stop/start dedicated button in my Kia stinger was put as close to my hand as possible.... right behind the shifter! Thx you 2!
Always entertaining. Thanks for another C,Q&Cs.
Sorry… Q,C&Cs.
Craving spaghetti and meatballs now. Care to share your recipe, Andrea?😋
I imagine Andrea is a great cook!
The Shaggin’ Vanagon?
Always love when there's a Jamaica reference lol
No wonder you drink a lot of coffee. Ever time I log on to TH-cam you guys are on. I think you need a vacation.. lol❤💯
New car prices are getting out of control. When will it end? Auto makers (Toyota included) only care about 1 thing. Shareholder value
I just want to say to Zach , we gotta try to encourage folks to keep that auto stop feature enabled. I understand the frustration, I sit in traffic as well and it drives me a lil batty but listen, Jason over at engineering explained has a video that very clearly proves it’s not only effective on mpg, but also more importantly on emissions for the air we breathe. Love the channel and enjoy your content so much, I just think as westerners we have aloof of comfort, we can sacrifice in this small way ya know? My bad really not meaning to be preachy again really enjoy your content you and Andrea are naturals at this. 😊
Yes, good for emissions especially in congested areas. Taking it a step farther is a PHEV which compounds the benefits five or 10 times. My PHEV engine very rarely runs in congested areas or stop and go situations.
Hahahah. Hell no turn that crap off.
This is really why I love driving an EV, zero emissions while idling anywhere, and no main battery drain while we're at it.
Love your work, I am following you both from the Land Down Under, Brisbane Australia
Thank you so much!
Love Bug, Sugar Shack and some are not printable.
Love Questions, Coffee, and Cars! The banter between you two is hilarious! Definitely agree about waiting a year but if you can’t look into the additional warranties that are offered. Would have saved us a ton on our 16 Yukon Denali!!🤦🏻♂️ bought the bumper to bumper 100k mile warranty with our 23 Denali! I do wonder how much more detrimental it is to the motor turning off and on so much vs the fuel that is actually saved with auto start/stop…
Zack, I think you should do an off off off podcast about your days on Z95.3 FM with a full playlist and story (ramp-up) on each song! loll
I love your work very interesting🤩
I'd pass on a small/medium size SUV for a family of four with a new baby and recommend instead a minivan, a minivan or a minivan. They're just an absolutely wonderful appliance for carrying families and all their stuff. Minivans aren't so "mini". My wonderful 2014 Sienna I drove from new until I sold it to a friend in 2022 was very roomy and could carry adults in comfort in all three rows with 40 sq. ft. of luggage space behind the 3rd row which could be dropped if not needed to carry about twice as much. I no longer need to carry as many people but I miss the van for its cargo capacity and would buy another if I had enough garage space.
The Bank of Honda has been good to this buyer. Last fall I traded in my 2020 Civic EX hatch with 30,000 miles and received 96% of what I paid for it as a new vehicle some 3 years earlier. Honda and Toyota are best resale brands by far.
my sister bought KIA EV and she lost more than $30,000 on value within 2 year.
@@dark6c159 Yup, depreciation on EVs is horrendous, especially on certain brands.
The redesigned rav4 will likely carry over the same hybrid drivetrain, so first year woes shouldn't be so bad.
I would expect it to get the new 5th gen hybrid system like the new 2025 Camry.
I was disappointed when Mazda Cx90 had remote start monthly subscription. My daughters Mazda3 2022 had remote starter on key fob. I will never get cx90 or 70 based on this.
All Mazdas are like that!!! Not just the one model . I dislike it too, I’m not paying for an app to start my car!!
The van’s name was “ITVIRDBK”.
(Aka: If This Van Is Rockin’ Don’t Bother Knockin’.
i loved my mini it got long on the tooth without problems so i sold. now i miss it
Van name - "Spicoli"
The Honda HR-V is really small standing next to a CR-V and compared to a Mazda CX-30 which has AWD, so much more luxury.
One of the vans most have been called the Passion Wagon.
The pick of the new Mini at 3:56 in the video gives me serious Kia Soul vibes. Those headlights do no look like a Mini in my opinion.
Good and honest reviews guys!! Even with Toyota quality issues 👍👍
“Love Bus” …?
Great show Andrea! I don’t know why Zack has to a story knowing he want to keep the show short. 😂 Cheers! ☕️☕️
The new mini looks like an old UK taxi…and the speedo looks like an old style outdoor temperature gauge
I did see the new BMW M5 and it looks bad ass, so they at least did that one right! 😂 Especially in that matte black!
The new Mini looks like a pretentious Hyundai Venue :D
My 2019 and 2021 Toyota Rav 4 Limited didn't have TPS in the tires as standard . My wife called me on the way to work saying she thinks she has a flat. I ask if the light was on .she said no. I said keep driving. I didn't find out that she had a flat until she got home. Toyota safety is a mystery to me. I am so happy I unloaded them both.
We ll done telling your wife to drive on a flat 🤣 My 2019 Rav4 didn't come with TPMS (glad it didn't then you have to reprogram sensors every seasonal tire swap). I bought an aftermarket TPMS set that screws onto tire valves for $80 CAD. Good to go 😊
In U.S. it is standard on every RAV4 (and every other Toyota model) and has been for many years. I can’t imagine not having TPMS! Is this just not a standard thing in Canada?? My freakin’ 2013 Scion xD had that…standard.
I asked a question about why the car companies don't seem to have focus groups to gauge public reaction to new designs of their vehicles. The new Mini would seem to be a perfect illustration of this. The majority of Mini lovers are (anecdotally) decidedly disappointed with this new version.
GM did used to have an event each year that we (wife and I) enjoyed thoroughly in the early 2000s. It was called 'Autoshow in Motion'. You got to drive GM vehicles and the competition at the same event.
They do have such events. They’re called car shows. And there’s news releases and other media outlets that are used to show concepts. Manufacturers do gauge public reactions to new designs but they are usually from focus groups rather than the general public. Sometimes, manufacturers follow certain automotive trends so even if the public may view a new design negatively, a manufacturer may still do that design because others are doing it.
Lastly, some of these new designs are created and fabricated long before it comes out to the public. They can’t make changes to this on the fly because most people may not like it. They would most likely release the new design and try to recoup the R&D costs from its sales while trying to understand public opinion, and opinion can change minute by minute so I can’t say I envy any manufacturer having to figure out a good balance between cost and public reactions.
@@housepianist Oof, forgot about the car shows, though I tended to think of those as being for the pros like Zack and Andrea. I agree that it isn't at all easy to predict what the public may like or dislike, although for a niche product like a Mini it might be a lot easier to determine by at least showing a select few what they're doing.
Not every car company goes to car shows
@@John_May. point taken 👍🏼
Why were you two not at the introduction of the 2025 Honda Civic, I keep checking to see your review on the new Sport Touring model.
We weren't invited to the US event unfortunately. Canada didn't do one so we will have to wait for it to arrive in the press fleet in Vancouver.
Shaggen wagon 1 and 2
Bingo, we have a winner
Missed opportunity in that van.
Shag Wagon 1 and 2 😂
Got a year of Toyota Connected Services with my 2023 Tacoma. It has just hit its 1 year anniversary so the services have expired. Nothing in the services made me want to renew. It is something like $12 bucks CDN (plus tax) per service for a year. I agree that these services should be included in the purchase price.
That would drive up the purchase price and they don't want it any higher...
The OP fails to realize that these services have an ongoing cost for Toyota, that money has to come from somewhere.
2023 Rav4 and same. I am disappointed that the "help" button or whatever it's called will no longer work, but I'm not going to pay for another monthly subscription. It's irritating how everything is trying to go monthly subscription nowadays. I even had an underwear purchase where they wanted me to subscribe for a monthly pair. Like, WTF? Subscriptions are getting out of control.
@@katietatey They want the monthly revenue because it takes no effort on their part and its there every month. The vulture capital funds love recurring revenue.
I had to take my mazda cx-3 again to the dealership due to engine light instead going to the gym
It was easy to fix the thermostat, not working properly. It was covered by my warranty
I love the RAV 4. Have had 4 all flawless. I have to wonder if they will continue to be made in Woodstock.
I wish I could say the same. My 2020 has been a damn pain in my ass lol
@@roxy819999 my 2020 Rav4 hybrid has been totally trouble free but I still just upgraded to a Rav4 Prime last week after waiting 7 months to get one.
@@roxy819999what’s wrong with it
🇯🇲respect to Zack for knowing the I-3 . Bob Marley and I shares the same birthdate
MORE INFORMATION!! 😅
I want the new 4Runner that is coming out in a few months but I will wait at least til 2026, possibly 2027 to see how they do
Reefer #1reefer #2 ya man
So you wait for the 2026 Rav4 and finally get in 2028. That is 4 years before you get your new car.
Guy letting his dog pees on the car was kinda funny...
It's on the plane, uhhhh...
Is name of the van is smoky
Ok, now I need to know the Spaghetti and meatballs recipe 😊. Do you make your own meatballs?
Yes I do, it's all homemade.
@@andreaspencer9813 Yum, what meat mixture do you like to use? I've only tried all beef and didn't love the way it came out.
@@blissfuljoy6049 I only do all beef but the key is not letting them dry out. I film a pan half way with water while cooking the meatballs in the oven, half of the meatballs are covered in water. It's a little trick! I flip them halfway through cooking so each side has a brown top and then I cook them in the sauce for 5+ hours. They are tender and wonderful. They are a huge hit in our house.
@@andreaspencer9813 Awesome, thank you!
Are we gonna see a top down Questions, Coffee and Cars?
Regarding the BMW i3, I would say that BMW will never bring it back. BMW will likely create a car called the i3 (they already have one in China) but it will be nothing like the original i3.
BMW had claimed that the iX1 was a replacement but it is much larger than the i3. More recently, BMW announced that there will be an i1 (sedan/hatchback) and an i2 (tall hatchback) - they now claim that the i2 will be the spiritual successor to the the original i3, but the i2 will be FWD or AWD - so, no. BMW will never create a replacement for the original RWD i3.
I actually died when Zach broke out the Jamaican accent 😂☠️ lol.
Yea mon! lol

bob was good van was rocking for sure
Yabba and Dabba Doo
I love watching you two. Is the Porsche Macan easy to get in and out of? And are the seats comfortable for long trips?
70Km is not enough for a Rav4 Prime. Need 80Km.
Are you expecting to review the new BMW X3 25 soon? 😅
BMW just announced it so we'll have to wait for it to become available to us. We may have to wait until it arrives in the press fleet here in Vancouver, that will take a while.
We need a collaboration with our favorite auto stars, Motormouth + TSP + Throttle House sometime! Thanks for all of the great content! Zach and Andrea in cliche corner! “This is Zach” “and This is Andrea and this is the ----” @TheStraightPipes @ThrottleHouse
Camry does not have auto off
Everyting is iree Zack 😅
Toyota? Haven't seen any of those in dealerships in a couple years.
Volkswagen Atlas
In regards to Toyota, they are the best in naturally aspirated engines. Their biggest flop that taints their reliability image is adding a turbocharger with their entire line up. They should have left turbocharging w/their sports cars like the GR Corolla & Supra. GR Corollas biggest problem is the differential that keeps overheating and the Supra isn't exactly reliable due to their collaboration w/BMW. The point is, all vehicle manufacturers that add complex innovation and design increases more faults and failures. It's a matter of whether you can or can't live with it. Japanese brands are known for squeaks and rattles, Euro vehicles are known for electrical gremlins (money pits if you allow it to be), American automotive are known for unreliability.
If u can not build a reliable engine with QC checking then you should not be building cars or trucks. Also both lexus and Toyota have the government involved this is serious recalls!
soul van love van wham van
Driving vw van, listening Bob Marley and didn't smoke ganja?😮
Even though the recall for the grand Highlander/tx isn’t engine related do you think people will just hear “recall” and negatively associate it more than is warranted? I mean, Toyota and Lexus have such dedicated fans and customers, but I just worry about it ruining a strong reputation
I don't understand people who drive 15,000Km a year or less who want to buy EVs to save money. The math doesn't math if cost is one of your major factors in selecting a vehicle. A hybrid SUV will be the cheapest option in the long run for 90% of people.
First 🙃
Hello, Andrea. I am waiting for a 2025 Nissan Kicks. So far, what I know is that it is a very nice-looking SUV and has many safety features. However, some must-have options for me are power seats, a driver's memory seat with an outside mirror, a head-up display, and a power liftgate. These options do not seem to be included in the top trim SR.
I can't believe Nissan would leave out those features in the top model when they include many excellent safety features.
What do you know about this?
Yes, you are right, it is missing features other competitors offer. Pricing hasn't been announced yet but maybe Nissan plans to keep it on the lower side in the subcompact class. We'll see.... We are going to be driving the new Kicks mid July in California, looking forward to sharing more details with you.
Go Carts are fun to drive
Especially sideways.
Just say it, you smoked but you didn't inhaled...
I’ve hear from numerous mechanics that auto stop start has caused starters to need replacement after as few as 1000 miles.
Rav4 hybrids don't have starters or alternator. 😂😂😂 stop start feature doesn't bother me in the least!! 😂
Toyota’s recalls btw are voluntary.
like 303 !
Toyota is the same as any big Corp. PROFIT B4 anything else afterall you said it the TT V6 out for 2 years and no resolution.
Totally, go more on what consumers are saying. Sure brands like Land Rover are pretty consistently going to put out trash, but even brands with generally high quality can make crap, but then brand like Chevy that doesn’t have the best reputation can make cars with some good reliability.
V35A-FTS TTV6 has been out for 7 years, not 2. It's fine, they had a production issue with the machining robots. There are literally V35A-FTS with over 100k + miles on the road all around you
So small corporations don't put profit first? Consumers don't out their financial welfare first? Businesses that aren't financially competitive inevitably fail. Of course they aim to make profits. If Toyota's quality consistently starts to come down consumers can and will vote with their wallet.
On that start stop garbage, there was an engineer who did the math on how much gas you would save over 200,000 miles and it broke down to something like less than a tank of gas. So it’s not even worth it as starting the vehicle consumes more gas than anything else.
Good Show, Mon'. (smile)
Do gummies
guys, there is something wrong in Toyota's leadership. Tacoma is severely overpriced at a time when the competition is way improved, Tundra and metal shavings: shavings are not new. How did they screw this up? Sienna can't get one (and the supply limitation is on purpose to force people in the ore expensive Grand Highlander). Mark my words, if Toyota doesn't shake things up they will drop kin sales.
What not recommend a Toyota rav4 plug in ??? Toyota Lexus stands by its products… domestic brands make the best pick ups? No they do not they’re riddled with issues.
Model Y over a Mitsubishi any day. Why are you so hesitant to recommend an EV? Your stated reasons don’t hold water. There are ways around expensive electrical upgrades. Don’t doom people to maintaining an ICE vehicle and pollution.
Speak for yourself. My ICE vehicle costs very little to maintain. Not sure what you were doing incorrectly with your ICE vehicle.
The Sorrento is much more expensive than the Outlander.
The Sorento PHEV starts at just under $49,000 CAD (MSRP) and the Outlander PHEV starts at just over $48,000 CAD (MSRP). Very little difference in starting price.

Your comment 👎🏼
Hmmm. You get lots of kudos for your banter - great. But of late, you're overdoing it.
