Big Sur PCH Review :drool:


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzTTx__QRcg"]FRS (GT86, BRZ) vs Genesis Coupe vs Lotus Elise - Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip Review - YouTube[/ame]

That was an enjoyable 20 some odd minutes. I was considering all three of these before settling on the BRZ. This confirms my decision :clap:

That was a great review. These guys should have been on top gear USA.

Liked the video. But I new the gen wouldn't keep up. I didn't even like the v6 myself.

Todd said FR-S/BRZ > S2000, RX-8, MX-5, Genesis Coupe all in the same review

:)

Top Gear needs to do this review, on that road, with those cars.

I love their reviews. I've been waiting on a new one and here it is. With 2 of my favorite cars. Elise, BRZ/FR-S/GT86

So glad I didn't get a Gen Coupe, I was sort of looking at the 3.8 Tracks in the beginning.

"It's like you went out looking for the perfect supermodel to date; and along the way, you found this amazing woman. She's beautiful, she's good to you, she makes you a better person.. and she's not a supermodel. Do you care now?"

:D i like that

Great review and great road.

Honestly though every conclusion in this that could have come to by walking up to all three cars in a random parking lot and looking at them with their doors locked. Just seems obvious to me.

Let me tell you something about Korean cars.

All their parts are shit. For example in a Mercedes axel you will find it to be one or two solid pieces. In Korean cars, it will be 10-15 pieces welded together. Complete garbage.

Just what I have heard from an insider with knowledge.

I also looked at the Gen coupe. I just couldn't bring myself to get one.


I hope I don't sound like a jerk, but I would rather drive a Scion brand than a Huyndai. I just can't do it.

Everything you said is either inaccurate or incorrect.

From 2003 to 2007 Mercedes were some of the least reliable cars you could possibly buy. Consumer reports and other automobile statistic groups had almost universal criticism of most of their cars. Essentially, they were built for 3 year lease agreements.

Since 2000, Hyundai has steadily improved in every automotive quality statistic that can be measured. Currently the Genesis Sedan has the highest customer satisfaction rating of a "luxury" car on consumer reports. The Mercedes GL managed to make the "worst of the worst" list this year.

Used cars to avoid from 2002 to 2011 according to CM:

Hyundai: Accent ’02; Elantra ’02; Entourage ’07-08; Santa Fe (4-cyl.) ’11; Santa Fe (V6) ’10-11; Sonata (4-cyl.) ’05; Veracruz ’08

Mercedes-Benz: C-Class (AWD) ’11; E-Class (AWD) ’09-10; E-Class (RWD) ’06; GL-Class ’07-09, ’11; M-Class (V6) ’02, ’06-07, ’09; R-Class ’06; S-Class ’04, ’06-07, ’09; SL ’05

New car predicted reliability for 2012
This graph shows how the makes rank based on their average predicted reliability scores. The score is the overall reliability calculated as a percentage better or worse than the average of all cars. The bar shows the range of scores between a make's worst and best models. The numeric score shown is the average for that make. To be included, a brand must have sufficient data for at least two models.

Interesting note.... the worst car from nearly every manufacturer is an SUV. The Porsche Cayenne is a flaming piece of shi...

I was going to quote this but you beat me to it!

What a great analogy!!!
