  • Daringly styled and propelled by an ambitious plug-in hybrid powertrain the Fisker Karma stands out as an automotive iconoclast. But is it the kind of car you'd actually want to drive? Kelley Blue Book's Micah Muzio investigates in this video.

    Its kind of sad that Fisker Karma EcoChic came at the same time as the Tesla Model S. I want to congratulate Fisker for taking the big step, but this car is outclassed with the efficiency, space, seating, and value of the Model S. If I had 110k, I would by the Model S and use the extra 20K to put solar panels on my roof! Take that electric company!

    Paradoxical. More a fashion statement than environmental.
    You pretty much hit the nail on the head there. excellent review.

    Hey Thank you, didnt know that this thing existed. They even put the ZR1 engine in there and got rid of the slightly ugly front :)

    I was curious about the Fisker, and am glad to have found this video to show me how lame it is. No wonder it failed.

      indeed. the only good thing about this car seems to be the driving noise... the fuel consumption is pretty bad too even when comparing hybrid mode to gasoline cars...

  • @thedevilcries8380

    Fisker karma is a beautiful car. It should have come with big engine and be a fast car than a green car since it's not doing that well being green.

    2012 for 40k with only 10-20k miles. was 120k brand new. I'd buy one and worsr come to worst drop a corvette engine in it. sounds fine with me

      Similar performance? Hah! You're funny. Plus the R8 e-Tron only has 10 miles more range than the 85D.

  • @hopefuruenme9095

    I feel that the best thing about this car is the new pop culture metaphor it creates..
    "Feeling Fiskered"
    A feeling of being decieved by looks..
    " I bought a turtle at the pet store, the owner put rabbit ears on it and painted it pink, promising me it wouldn't hop, but it sure would draw a lot of attention from people waiting for it to...
    Hop?"
    Feeling Fiskered

    I loved my FISKER I really don't know why most reviews trashed the car I guess it could because most people can't afford one

    • @robertfaulkner7152
      @robertfaulkner7152 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Simple reason...a Tesla would destroy it and still get far better range. Though I have to admit it is a sexy looking car... Then a duck-billed looking Tesla 😂

    @Rockport1911 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is somebody out there that is willing to swap a powerfull V8 in this car und replace the screen in the middle console with something more traditional? Also these massive wheels should be swapped out for something better.
    I mean the Karma looks good, but the rest lacks a bit.

    Isn't this review late? Is this car even available anymore? I thought the car was now going to be a regular v8 and all the electric drive goodies would be removed.

  • @gene978
    @gene978 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, after careful thinking. I think I should look elsewhere. I mean how long will Fisker be selling cars? I mean Justin Beiber has one. Only because his manager bought it for him on his 18th Birthday and presented it to him on ELLEN. And the look on Justin's Face said it all. He didn't know what it was. Ten he pretended to like it. Thanks Micah

    I saw a Karma & a Tesla the other day-side by side charging up.... I must say...Good god Tesla makes an ugly car (model S is FUGLY) compared to the Karma... Tesla may go farther on the battery...but it doesn't get any more looks than my honda accord coupe..its just a plain simple, ugly ass car.. I'd take a Karma any day. Tesla may be great in a lot of ways but it cant get me to the cottage-not enough chargers on the route! I'd be forced to buy a Karma if I had to choose one-it's the only viable option for me...the Tesla would leave me stranded an hour away from the cottage! Just remember that folks! No chargers no go...but no worries with the karma...

      Alison Smith you must like the look of the new Prius too. In what way is the tesla bad? But ya, the model X is really bad, but how is the S bad?

    • @dragon4c3_71
      @dragon4c3_71 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The s isn't ugly it's just not interesting, it looks like every other car while this looks something out of the future, i think that was what he was trying to get a across.

    I like the exterior if they dropped the solar panels, and change the tire size. 100,000 and this car hits 60 in a lil over 6secs.....wtf I better off with my 2000 GTP that hits it in the high 6. wow some smug mofo is gonna buy it though...

    @ericwh8616 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    What a snarky critique. It must be nice to rip on something, especially when you never create anything yourself. The reviewer never gives an ounce of credit to Fisker, even giving handling credit to the tires. Micah, maybe you should drop the smart Alec routine and try some adult inspired work.
