TH-cam became a much better place when ReDriven hit the scene. What a fabulous resource. Thanks guys, you’re both awesome.
A few of you have been asking about a follow up worst cars video. It’ll drop next Sunday. Stay tuned!
Really wish to see your reviews of the Honda shuttle people mover soon. That car looks like a spaceship in my opinion 😅
As a South African, still living in SA, your Chanel is really informative and helpful. Awesome work guys, thank you
Bro! Nothing compares to these guys. 90% of the Aussie car scene is the same as us in SA so it’s so relevant. Love this channel and the format.
Merry Christmas
Thanks for always making great videos
Watching from South Africa and love your awesome show👍👍
Big fan of South Africans who live in South Africa myself.
At this point google thinks I live in Australia. You guys put in incredible effort and hold your ethics to a standard rarely seen I auto journalism. The investigation into actually car experience rather than brochure reading is extremely underrated. Thank you guys! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Fellow SA'n here.
I am an American that, after finding your channel, am totally hooked on your reviews. The thorough job you do in supplying information in layman’s terms about the cars you review is awesome. The choice of fun cars you review that are not available in the American market to buy because of over-the-top governmental regulations makes me and my friends so jealous. Lol! As someone who used to work in the parts and service departments of several Toyota dealerships for over 25 years, I was always intrigued by the Japanese Crown and Vellfire models, and wondering why we didn’t have them in the states. I’m starting to see more and more JDM import mini trucks on car carriers coming from the port here in Baltimore, Maryland, so there is some hope. I love what you’re doing and keep up the great work. A loyal subscriber for life.😎👍🏾
It’s not exclusive to the US to have none available models. Us Aussies have so many car brands that do not produce for our market. The US is rightly not allowing the Chinese to control the market and dominate the world market, you guys should be happy about that. We gave away our manufacturing ability many many years ago.
I think my wife's 2022 Focus ST flies well under the radar. I haven't seen many around and most people just think it's a regular Focus. I test drove the i30N, Golf Gti, RS Trophy and Peugeot 308 and the ST was the best driving experience IMO. This thing can do crazy things up a windy mountain road, the chassis is just amazing. And even though it's front wheel drive it still has amazing amounts of grip. Fantastic car!
This channel has quickly become one of my favorites on TH-cam. Thanks to all of the crew for their hard work and great videos
Thanks for a year full of informative reviews and entertainment. The way Redriven is headed, I can only imagine 2024 is going to be even better if it is even possible. Thanks Adam, Jim and all the hard workers behind the lens!
Thank you, redriven.
Don’t ever change
You’ve got the thing nailed 👌
Thanks for the content guys, found you this year when looking for a first car for my son. Can’t believe what I have learnt from the backlog and how keen I am to learn about cars I never knew existed. Have a safe one
One of - if not THE best car channels on TH-cam. Thank you so much for a great year - and for promoting Newcastle as a city that's not just full of bogans!
Keep growing guys!! Always a pleasure to watch your reviews from here in the UK.
I come from a family of Toyota tragics. My first car was a '66 Crown Station Wagon, followed by multiple others. After having Euros and a few other marques, I think the Crown is calling me back. Excellent review. Thank you guys. I'm keeping my Valiant, but returning to my youth.
I’ve been throughly joying ReDriven for a while now, honestly such a brilliant concept and you’ve done a banger job in delivering useful and fun content for all those in the market for great (or possibly shite) 2nd hand cars of the past couple of decades, there’s some properly useful advice, insight and opinions to be had. Good stuff guys and please keep it up! The final commentary on the personal car of the year was particularly close to how I’m feeling at the moment, as an E92 M3 6 spd owner I’ve been taken aback by just how fun and practical an NC 2 MX-5 is on good twisty Aussie roads for the past few weeks. Lots of fun to be had in an MX-5 in the right environment, horses for courses.
This channel has helped me purchase my first car. It's overwhelming weighing up all the options but this channel has helped me narrow down my search, and actually identified what my car preferences are 😊
I only buy and drive dual cab utes, IMO that list goes like this:
Reliability and Value: Isuzu D-Max
Power and looks: Ford Ranger
Australia wide parts availability, decent reliability but overpriced: Toyota Hilux
Bitumen road manners and also lots of power: Volkwagen Amarok
You want a ute and you were dropped on your head many, many times as a child from a great height, onto concrete, but survived: Nissan Navara or anything from China
You want to force people you drive past to cover their eyes to prevent permanent blindness: Mahindra
Thanks for the year guys, looking forward to next year. As Jim happens to be my mechanic I rely on his advice a lot. Cheers Steve
As a South African you guys rock, I'm happy to have stumbled upon your channel
Probably one if the reason i love the channel is most cars you feature are also available in South Africa,so it becomes relatable
Been great to find your channel , have a great 2024
Thank you both, l love the honest reporting. Looking forward to next year’s show.
People carriers, like the Velfire are extremely popular in south East Asian countries like Singapore or Malaysia. They always travel with their grand parents and multiple kids and these things are so fucking good. I don’t own one in AUS but if my parents came with me everywhere I’d buy one too
Merry Christmas and thank you on a great year of car reviews people can actually buy!!! Props to the huge amount of research on reliability and problems ... May 2024 be even bigger foy you guys! 🎉
Daily would have to be a Lexus. The Crown is next on the list. The MX5 is a great car and I get it, but I love my MGTF 160 with the race prep I have done. Thanks guys, it has been a great year of great videos, take care, looking forward to what you both bring next year.
I've only recently found your channel, and I gotta say, good find!
Thank you and a happy new year from Israel!
Thanks guys. Would love it if you could review 10 year old Lexus LS's and GS's. Thanks again!
Enjoyed all the content throughout the year fellas, thanks!
Thanks for another year of great videos and entertainment boys. Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you, guys. Thoroughly enjoyed every clip you've put up. Merry Christmas 🎉🎉😀
Well done to you both.
Great information on all types of cars. Looking forward to your channel this year🎉
love your channel guys, such a unique perspective, keep up the great work!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Guys!! Keep up the good work!! Your humourous and well researched car videos are just getting better and better!!!!
I drove the gr corolla and ultimately bought the new 2023 civic type r. Arguably just as fun, better performance, better gear change and way way better interior. Also a YAY I currently own a mx5 nd2 as a weekender as well. Would definitely agree on being the most fun car on public roads.
No Brainer....Type R is a masterpiece.
You live an amazing life man… what a garage!
@@MrBlackiichan yeah, I'm fortunate enough to be in the position to have both. They are sweet as 😂
Love it! Thank you guys , I love watching your show.
Thanks guys! We really believe in what you're doing, so keep at it. We recently bought a 10th generation Toyota Crown, and its the best thing we've ever done.
Merry Christmas champions. Fair dinkum the most down to earth, genuine, no bullshit car review channel on the internet. If it wasn't for you guys and one of your reviews I wouldn't have fallen in love with the cheap runabout I bought this year --- Suzuki Swift Sport 2007.
Keep up the fantastic work and 2024 ya'll hit a million subs without breaking a sweat!
Cars I'd love to see -- Alfa 156 or 159, maybe a GTA with that gorgeous 6 cylinder.
Have a great one gents 🥳🍾🎄🥂
Car of the year for me --- the MX5 as well. If I could afford a late model I would grab one for sure.
Merry Christmas!! Thanks all for your hard work
Thanks guys for the great content. The GR Yaris and MX5 look like cars that are more than just fun - they have soul.
As a daily driver and after a long day at the office, the NX is fantastic.
Enjoy some time off your shows are bloody fantastic, Cheers guys 🙏
Thanks and great year of review guys ! Fun Factual and 100% Aussie !! Hope 2024 is a ripper for you
Thanks so much!
Great channel, great episode. Happy holidays to all of you.
U guys are awesome. Just straightforward opinions backed up with facts. Much love from 🇵🇭
Merry Christmas guys. Looking forward to another awesome year with your videos. And here’s my beer. 🍺 Cheers!
Cheers for the awesome year of information guys! Keep up the amazing work
Merry Christmas AK and Jim, great channel looking forward to new nugget reviews in 2024!
Great work, really appreciate your work and content fellas!
thanks for a great year, one of my favourite channels
love my 105. 24years old. 400,000km. still my daily. just a great car, as long as you don’t want to
get somewhere quick.
Awesome video to finish off the year. Redriven is my go to channel for car reviews - loving all the JDM car reviews you have been putting up (I’m looking at buying a crown). Happy NY 👍
Another great year of this superb channel. Wishing you and the team a very Merry Christmas and an even better year ahead.
Thanks team. Have a great new year. With age comes wisdom and I now find it challenging if not impossible chosing the best car...because no one car does all things good. At the minimum the best car would be 3 cars with different attributes for specific applications. Cheers
Thanks for the great year of fantastic content!
My eyes are still peeled for a good NX in Melbourne hopefully that time will come before new years!
Thank you Adam, Jim and the crew at ReDriven. Great channel and content. Always look forward to your videos. Best wishes for 2024 ! Cheers Steve G
I bought the 2023 i30 n-line premium ……… manual so far blown away it goes has tech, only disappointing point was the Apple car play that still needs to be plugged in 🙄 so I bought the Bluetooth for it other wise it does everything I need it to.
Thanks for your useful and entertaining insights throughout 2023 gentlemen. All the best for 2024.
Thanks for your work fellas. Love your content.
Hello from Dubai! Came across your channel today and really enjoying the videos!
Great work guys, have a great Christmas and a ripper 2024 !!!
Great year boys, keep it up
Thanks very much gents for a great channel. So informative and has helped immensely when buying a used Lexus IS and Hyundai Santa Fe.
Most of all just the joy of cars, no bullshit or wankery.
Great summary…well done fellas!! 👏👏
I honetly felt like I watched the 2022 version not that long ago. Thanks for the vids guys!! Merry Xmas and Cant wait for more vids in 2024!
Thanks for a great year, guys. I really enjoy your work and love your thoroughness in researching a car and the professionalism in presenting it. Have a wonderful Christmas, stay safe over The new year break and look forward to seeing you in 2024.
Congrats on another successful year, love the videos and look forward to what comes in 2024!
Was happy and sad to see you love the MX5 so much. I share the same love for them having owned an ND GT from 2018 to 2020. I only sold it due to pre ordering a GR Yaris which I honestly really disliked and sold a couple months later.
Been searching recently for another MX5 and seeing others enjoy it just like I did makes me happy! Not sure whether to try the RF this time round! Happy holidays!
Great end to the year mate
Good stuff mate! Been here since you guys still had triple digits subs. I knew you were gonna make it big someday with the awesome quality of your reviews :3
Love your reviews guys!
That Volvo is the one.... Until Australian conditions kill it.
Love the reviews... And car nuts.... Happy Christmas
Thanks blokes, I did miss a few but what I saw I liked.
Great information and very informative reviews. Unlike most new car reviews which are little better than advertorials . Would love to see your review of the Skoda Yeti 4x4.
Awesome show guys love the content and honest opinions. Blew me away with the Crown .
Thanks for the great content Redriven!
Great reviews this year guys ! The car you reviewed I'll hopefully get next year will be the Suzuki Vitara - because it gives me the ground clearance, AWD and power (turbo) at a decent price I need to get up into the unsealed roads in the mountains here in NZ.
Thanks for everything guys, happy Christmas!
Thanks for the great content.
I have a Lexus RC350 F Sport 2015 that I would love for you guys to review. I'm based in Sydney.
Merry Christmas Guys. Love your channel. Not sure about the imports but get it as there are only so many AUSDM cars you can review.
Based on your reviews, the car I’d go for this year would be the Crown GRS204
I agree totally
As someone who owns a Mazda MX5 and a Toyota Crown. I approve 😊
bought the blade off shannon, feels funky seeing the car in another video😊
Can’t believe you don’t have more viewers! Great information and so entertaining. You guys nail it!
I have a 100 series with 250,000 miles (402,000 km), it's great. Took it to Moab Utah recently to test it out on a few easy trails, was great. 2,000 miles over a few days period on holiday, did all the things in quite comfort.
Hey thanks for the awesome channel. Love it. If you’re ever in Brisbane. Happy for you to review my Audi 2015 RS4. Last of the naturally aspirated V8s…it’s a wagon too. Hope to hear from you. Thanks again for the awesome content. Merry Christmas.
Love you guys
Honest and no B/S reviews and opinions
Love the SSS in the background
You have helped me decide on purchasing an R36 Wagon in Biscay Blue in the new year - Thanks.
My number one car of the year would have to be the Nismo Note. I just think that that is where the future of hybrid tech should be going. Its such a great idea and yet nobody has been doing them really.
Thanks for the vids this year guys. Used your recommendations and serviced my Jimny at the 10k mark and done by Jim no less, rather than the 15k like Suzuki recommend. Definitely would recommend Jim as a mechanic, such good customer service and so knowledgeable
Adam & Jim, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your reviews over the year! One of my top TH-cam channels! Car wise it is my number 1!👏🏼👍🏼 Bring on 2024 you bloody legends!🤩🤣
One of the best car channels full stop. Keep up the great work guys!
Great videos guys, you always reaffirm my love for Toyota too 😊
I bought a 2013 Swift Sport on the back of your review and am really happy with it. Excellent small run around without the blown out price tag. Love this channel and well done gentlemen
Great review of the year, really interested in some of the cars you mentioned, e.g. GR Corolla but still love my Cayman S manual
Greetings. How do you all do. Thank you very much for your auto insights. Highly appreciated. Thank you very much once again. I am viewing from Nairobi Kenya currently.
You guy's are awesome. Love the content,vibe and honesty. See you in 2024 🎉
Aurion!… the “Crown” Aussies didn’t get, but bulletproof nonetheless.
What would I pick? The Alto Works that I have on route from Japan as I type this! Your review confirmed my need to get one. Thanks Guys!
Back in the late 70s early 80s we had Crown cars on the farm. They were solid cars back then. I did not realise they still made them. My forever car will be a Lexus NX.
OG F87 M2 owner wanting to trade in for a ND MX-5 (135kW with LSD) really enjoyed the show, thank you guys.
Thanks adam and jim. My favourite car channel. Well done. Really impressive video on kia picanto gt but it got no nomination?
You can buy crowns much cheaper in NZ. 2012 Hybrid with 100,000km for about $14,000 NZD. A huge percentage of cars on the road here are imports which makes them cheap and there are heaps of them on the road.
The GR Corolla is so nice, went and looked at one at the Toyota dealer and I didn’t initially like it as much as the GR Yaris but WOW. I was truly blown away by the GR Corolla.
Hey, great show please keep it up.
Great discussion ❤
I didnt know that vellfire/alphard exist in Australia! It’s very popular in many other countries, including Indonesia where I come from. It also symbolises social status because it’s so expensive there! Thanks heaps redriven team for all your content, it’s really useful for helping me buying a secondhand car this year, esp your ultimate guide video. Merry christmas and happy new year!
Oh and i wish you could have a full review on hyundai getz. Is it still worth to buy in 2024? Mine is the SX 2011 1.6 L 3door model. Would love to hear your thoughts about the car. Thanks!
