Here are the reasons I like your show. First it’s fantastic to see a couple working together, I am “jealous” Second, you guys are ridiculously polite in a quintessentially Canadian way. Third, you provide balanced, thoughtful and down to earth reviews. I wish you much success in 2024!
So so sorry for your loss. We know how the house never feels the same every time you come back home. I am sure Guinness had a great life as we can see you two have such great core values. Hang in there!
Always enjoy watching you guys, informative but also enjoy watching the love between you two! Many hugs for the loss of Guiness, they are never forgotten.
Merry Christmas and sincere condolences to hear about your beautiful dog Guinness. Happy new year! Thanks for delivering some of the best content on TH-cam!🐶❤️
Love you guys. I could listen to Andrea talk all day. So classy. It's because of you guys that i went for my Toyota. Best decision I've ever made. Thanks so much!
Love hearing that the grand highlander is the number 1 pick. Just picked up my hybrid max platinum last week. Had to fly out to pick it up but feel in love all the way home.
Condolences on the loss of your dog, Guinness. Dogs are such cherished members of the family. Thank you for your content and real world car reviews; some of the best content on TH-cam. Wishing you a joyous and prosperous New Year. John S
Merry Christmas to you two. I wouldn’t include the Trax if I were to do a top 10, only because one of my kids bought one that has had a safety issue with the car rolling backwards when she puts it in drive and hits the accelerator, rolling back into traffic. It’s happened multiple times and is a scary situation. The dealer’s service department and GM/Chevy contact people have been very dismissive and condescending to my 24-year-old daughter. Fortunately the sales person at the dealership has gone above and beyond and advocated for her. She’s been driving a loaner for several months and has been promised a brand new replacement vehicle. The salesman says it’s a very long process. I remain skeptical but hope this will be resolved to my daughter’s satisfaction. This particular Trax is a lemon.
I saw these a few months back and thought this “could” be a home run for GM if the quality and reliability has improved? So far, I’ve seen a ton of complaints online about what a pile of crap these vehicles are. Warranty and service managers are being idiots at the dealerships and GM is getting another black eye! Stick with Mazda, Toyota and Honda and spend more money to have piece of mind. Merry Xmas!
A video appeared on my list yesterday with a guy who has a Traxx with 1800+ miles on it and a laundry list of malfunctions. The worst part? The dealer can't fix some of the issues, so he's stuck with them. The reliability is crap. I feel bad for anybody who gets stuck with a bad one, and it appears there's a lot of bad ones.
Merry Christmas ... good summaries. The trouble with Kia is not the vehicles, it"s intentional delay of deliveries. Literally, Kia Canada made a financial decision to withhold deliveries and have the vehicles stored in a small town in Ontario. This is terrible, almost as bad as the Hyundai battery fiascos ... oh, wait, both companies are owned by Hyundai Motor Corporation.
I always enjoy your videos and the give and take between the two of you is always amusing. My condolences on the loss of your dog. From pet parent to pet parent I understand and feel your grief and sorrow. Remember all the good times.
Merry Christmas to you, your families and friends (fans too!). My children gave me a collection (120+?) of automotive magazines from the 1970s-early 90s. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for another year of videos! See you guys sometime in the New Year. I’m off to get a two weeks of sun. Cheers.
My son works at a Toyota dealer ship and they just arent making the cars they used to make. For instance, my 2019 Camry had trans issues at 19k on the OD and part of the dash was coming apart. I had to take legal action for Toyota to cover the transmission replacement. The dash is still broken.
Sorry for your loss of Guiness. My wife and I had a male Irish that was the "spittin" image of Guiness . We miss him and think of him every day. Thank you for your thoughtful reviews. Merry Christmas!
I love a conventional dash with real buttons and real shifters. When I'm driving I don’t want to or feel safe making adjustments on a screen. Nice review of all 10 and a good price range to choose from when considering a vehicle.
So sorry for the loss of your family member Guinness, I have two pups Twist (female) & Yogi (male), I will be sick when that day comes for them so, my prayers to you, thank you for great shows all year, keep up the great work!!!!!
So sorry for the loss of Guinness! I just lost a dog, too, so I understand how hard it is. Thanks for all the great content. Bought my car but will keep witching!
Merry Christmas to my favorite car reviewers!!! 🎄🎅🤶 ...so sorry for your loss of Guinness 😢 i know how much the little furkids are part of the family as we have 2❤. Looking forward to 2024 reviews and banter👍👌
For 2024 we want Andrea behind the wheel of a Corvette, Porsche or Lambo! :) Thank you guys for an entire year of beautiful car reviews, I honestly must consider your #1 for my van life build!
Looking forward to driving an Activ Trax. We need a vehicle with good fuel economy and I love the look. We have a AWD '23 Traverse and its been phenomenal. So good we are considering another Chevy.
I drove two Chevy Sparks (total six years) and never had a problem. And they were very well equipped for a $13,000 vehicle (like the 2024 Trax). These Korean Chevys (Daewoo) are GM's "best kept secret". Although I did make the mistake of buying the dealer extended warranty for my first Spark. Big mistake. DON'T.
I own a GH Hybrid limited. It is a fantastic vehicle. I get 34 mpg on highway, and some tanks of in town driving up to 42 mpg. Great room, quiet, plenty of power.
I'm replacing my wife's 2011 CR-V next year. We are empty nesters so I'm looking at the the Seltos or the Corolla Cross based on your reviews. Thank you for all your honesty and integrity with what you like and don't like. Looking forward to seeing what you bring to 2024!
You might want to look at something smaller… CR-V’s are much bigger now and you don’t need much space in the rear. If you want something sporty try the Porsche Macan / BMW X4 / Audi SQ5… they’re not much more expensive than non-luxury brands now. Otherwise yes Corolla Cross / HR-V / Seltos are great options at a lower price point. Luxury brands are definitely worth it though.
Oh thank you for the information on the top 10. I'm sorry to hear about your loss of your sweet boy Gunnise 😢 I know the pain of that loss. From our house to your house we hope you have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year 🎉
Have a blessed Christmas time. It is amazing how professional all your videos are, very smooth talking and well prepared, attention to details is excellent!
Wishing you (Jack) and Andrea a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🤶 🎄. Thanks for such educative content you've made through this year. Best wishes to you, family and loved one in 2024 in advance. Warm regards from Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹
*Supposedly the Chevy Trax LS is based priced at $20,400 USD, and with shipping and prep should be under $22,000 USD, however you simply CANNOT find these for sale on the dealer lots* Always bait and switch when it comes to prices now.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This is an impressive list of vehicles - and we should celebrate that by itself - you all did great getting timely access to review. I agree your #1 is the best overall and handled trade offs well. I hope there will be good supply and reasonable pricing, I’m probably waiting for that to happen before purchasing my next vehicle.
Very sorry for your loss. Our beloved cocker spaniel "Oscar" passed away in 2018 just days after Christmas. My wife and I were devastated. We miss him more than I can put into words. Dogs are the best. People on the other hand I take on a case by case basis if I'm being truly honest. Thank you both for all that you do and I wish you and your family health and happiness in 2024. Cheers!
I recently bought a new car. I looked at Audi Q3, Q5, Volvo XC60, BMW X1, and VW arteon. Of all these cars, I felt the X1 was the worst. It had seats that did not adjust, the brakes seemed weird, and it would shut off the engine at every stop and there was no way to that off. I bought the VW...most horspower, largest back seat, good looks and storage as well as a good ride. I appreciate that few shar my love of such cars. I also read yesterday that SUVs are 8 times more likely to a kill a child that they hit than a sedan.
I discovered your TH-cam channel prior to purchasing a 2023 RAV4 Prime (plug-in hybrid)...which has performed very well. Thanks for all your help. On a more personal note, condolences on the passing of your dog, Guinness. Our family said goodbye this year to our faithful cat, Mr. Marley, and it certainly is an adjustment for all of us. Looking forward to viewing more content on your channel.
Wishing a very happy and successful new year to the both of you! Thank you for the thoughtful, informative and detailed reviews throughout the year. I am so sorry for the loss of your adorable boy Guinness. Warm regards from the viewer with the little baby 🥰
My condolences on the loss of your beautiful dog, Guinness. I've been there and have experienced the pain of losing a beloved pet. Hopefully time will make each day a little less painful. Wishing you a Happy New Year!
I’ve known 3 people now who’ve owned the lyriq. The service department put more miles on it then they did and all three got lemon lawed. Great on paper and a test drive, absolute nightmare to own
So sorry for the loss of your Irish Terrier, Guinness. 😢 They are so special and leave a large hole in our hearts when they leave us. My sincere condolences. (KinCara Irish Terriers)
I agree with you for the Grand Highlander! Hey Zack, can't wait for your live in 2024. Please talk about the new 2035 rules for Canada. I find them optimistic, especially considering the American domination of the North American market. Americans love big fast cars, and don't seem to worry about fuel economy like Canadians. Looking forward to your thoughts -:
Sorry to hear about Guinness. I don’t always agree with your views, but I respect them and seriously consider your input. I hope that you both are having a great holiday season.

Probably a lot of lemons too for a car that's made so cheaply but you get what you pay for I guess
Trax is awesome

Wait, as I understand it the Pilot TrailSport only comes with captain’s chairs in the 2nd row. Yes, all the other trims have bench seats.

Cod Bless from the East Coast of Canada!!! You guys offer my favourite automobile reviews……..period!!!
My son works at a Toyota dealer ship and they just arent making the cars they used to make. For instance, my 2019 Camry had trans issues at 19k on the OD and part of the dash was coming apart. I had to take legal action for Toyota to cover the transmission replacement. The dash is still broken.
Sorry for your loss of Guiness. My wife and I had a male Irish that was the "spittin" image of Guiness . We miss him and think of him every day. Thank you for your thoughtful reviews. Merry Christmas!
Kia the best looking and the more high tech by far!! Wow
So so sorry for your loss. Sending you all lots of love❤️❤️❤️
I love a conventional dash with real buttons and real shifters. When I'm driving I don’t want to or feel safe making adjustments on a screen. Nice review of all 10 and a good price range to choose from when considering a vehicle.
So sorry for your loss. Guinness looks like he was a VGB (very good boy). All the best to you both in the new year.🐾
Merry Christmas Motormouth family!!
So sorry for the loss of your family member Guinness, I have two pups Twist (female) & Yogi (male), I will be sick when that day comes for them so, my prayers to you, thank you for great shows all year, keep up the great work!!!!!

Merry Christmas to my favourite car channel hosts🎄🎅🏻🏎️ hope you get some time off. Looking forward to your videos in the new year! Thank you guys.
Loved the video, but broke my heart when I saw the photo of Guiness. I'm so sorry for your loss. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both of you. Can't wait for more reviews next year, especially the Hybrid Max Tacoma and Camry.
Merry Christmas to Andrea and Zack and a thank you for sharing with us Guinness. All dogs go to heaven so he is in a great place.

Merry Christmas to my favorite car reviewers!!! 🎄🎅🤶 ...so sorry for your loss of Guinness 😢 i know how much the little furkids are part of the family as we have 2❤. Looking forward to 2024 reviews and banter👍👌
Acura Integra Type S is a surprising omission from this list!
Hard to get and expensive,I like it though,better looking than the Civic type R
For 2024 we want Andrea behind the wheel of a Corvette, Porsche or Lambo! :)

Kia knows how to build small cars that have tons of room. The Kia Soul is a prime example and that formula has continued.
Kia Soul is a toaster on wheels 😊😅
Very interested to see how the new Acadia and Traverse will fare next year. I like the Grand Highlight but I'm waiting to check these out.
Great all around picks from ICE to EVS guys. Great work!! 👍👍
Ioniq 5, will be the top flop for 2023 / 2034 I can't believe I was going to buy one. Thx for sharing
