    The newer cars have now solved that jerkiness at low speed with the introduction of a mild hybrid system…

    12:54 When you parked, the center screen was showing some image, was that front or back? It seems this screen appeared earlier (at 2:48 ) when you were stopping at a red light. And when you start to drive it disappeared. Was it a part of the 360 camera? Does it has AR navigation on the screen?

      Live here in Colorado and it got down to -28 deg for awhile last month, my EV DID NOT LIKE IT!!! AND THE CHARGE STATIONS DID NOT WORK!!!! There was a large news article on this for 4 days last month on how many people were stranded in Colorado and had to get hotels because their EVs would not charge in the cold weather to allow them to continue their vacations/trips.... nobody likes to talk about the huge downsides of EV :(

      EV is dead, hydrogen is the future but ICE is still a great clean and reliable option. Governments should never pick winners and losers as they have been with EV. The consumer always loses and innovation is highly suppressed.

Charge at home while sleeping and never stop for $6-8/gal gas. A typical fill-up for my Tesla in Florida costs only $8. EV’s reduce vehicle maintenance by over 80%. And enjoy the thrill of instant acceleration and less fatigue using one-pedal driving. All this and help promote cleaner air too.

    I see some of these running around the neighbourhood and think it’s kind of ugly. It’s always telling though whose trying too hard to have something/anything with a three pointed star that they have to waste money on this (or the CLA/GLA variants) cheap German-engineered (Mexican-built) example instead of something Japanese or Korean that has way better quality and reliability for less price. Funny you didn’t mention the 7 seater we get up here, North off the border, 🇨🇦, but I guess it’s not available down there (not that it’s any better looking though, 😉)

      Quite the persecution complex you got there buddy - your personal judgment cup runneth over. Who cares if someone chooses a GLB over your 'safe' purchase Asian cars. Let people do what they want.

    • @ShuckMeister
      @ShuckMeister ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Husband is 6'6" and there is more front seat driving room and leg room and head room in the GLB than in the GLC, that's why he chose the GLB! We can thankfully purchase what we want, but he had to choose the GLB over the 'bigger' Merc SUVs due to needed leg/head room. He doesn't even begin to fit in any Toyota or Acura or Kia SUV for leg room. The Acura SUVs have so little leg room that I have the seat all the way back just to fit my 5'8" frame. The GLB has more front driver leg room than the large GLE and GLS! But appreciate your concern and worry that some people try so hard to 'look good'.
