Car enthusiasts and Urbanists have more in common than you might expect. Neither one likes boring SUV’s.

Here's my old 94 Rio Red GT KLZE. ruclips.net/video/p7vAGj8pe2o/видео.htmlsi=DaYvjSwgZQj8blFq LOVE these cars! I still miss my first as well. A 93 Wild Orchid GT. Only owned two, but they left such an impression on me that I would sell my soul to get another one. My 94 Rio Red 5 speed was my little baby Ferrari. And! You can put Ford fusion brakes on the front and they will bolt right up. They eliminated a lot of things as the years went on, like an actual functioning power seat I mean it was like eight way? And actual functioning oil pressure gauge, they got rid of a lot of things that it was on its way out of the production line at least for the second gens. They sure were a pain in the ass to work on. I'll never forget the time I had to do the tensioner on the timing belt, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. And the transmission housing is made of glass! They always crack. Get a tranny saver and a good launch and you shouldn't have a problem.

Idk at what point it becomes "the reality of where you live is theres more mountains than people and so there will never be transit" instead of "dependency" though. Most of the vehicles in my life are doing what we would have done with horses back in the day and we havent gotten more populous or dense since. The horses that people still have get to have amazing lives and several days journey can now be done in less then an hour in some cases. City driving is asinine though and one thing that needs to be emphasized more is for how slow city driving really is in terms of average speed with the stop-go it's the most fuel inefficient driving it wears down engines more than anything and makes engines run at their dirtiest. Ive said for a long time that if we eliminated the 9 out of 10 vehicles in the cities that are only being used to transport one person we could have 50 cent/L gas (all the oil workers could probably take 3 years vacation before we use it all too), autos would fall to being a really low percentage of total emissions production, and the remaining necessary vehicles in the city could get around a lot more smoothly with less constant stopping and slowing and re accelerating therefore all more efficiently, cleaner and with less wear on them.

we had a transport also with a 3.8 v6 that was a great van

i loved my diahatsu charade 3 cyl got 190k on it until i sold it solid little car i wish they would bring the copan to the usa

Fantastic video, Ethan! Please feel free to spend many more days out on your bike, looking for old, weird, forgotten cars! This is really interesting!

I dislike driving mainly because of the traffic, the bad drivers on the road, and the poorly designed intersections. It just isn't fun when you have to deal with all of that all the time. It is obvious that we need public transportation infrastructure, and I think it starts in our cities where it is easier to build up a world class metro system that connects the city and its suburbs and allows people to get around easily without a car. I am most familiar with the Boston area, which has I-95 run a circle around the city and is about 10-15 miles from downtown Boston. The MBTA should have a priority to establish a system that allows a person to get from any point in that I-95 ring to any other point in the I-95 ring within an hour. If they could do that, many people would start taking public transportation. Some density is needed to do that in the suburbs, but that is where we should be heading in all our major cities. Then, the next priority is to link cities by light rail so that you can go from Boston to NYC in 2 hours or less, which would be half the time as driving and 1% of the stress. This is possible with high speed rail. We work out from there. Further, in city centers and most dense areas if we mandate bike lanes and pedestrian friendly infrastructure, we will make healthier communities that are safer to get around without a car. The key is to design it to make it hard to go more than 20-25mph in these areas using stop signs, sidewalk design, and prioritizing pedestrians and bikes. Also, this makes getting around by car slower and can shift preferences towards public transportation to go longer distances in a dense area. If we can slowly establish public transportation as a priority and build the density to make it work, we can take cars off the road, our infrastructure spending will be impactful by spending billions on moving people around faster rather than making little progress by expanding highways, and we can lower the amount of traffic so people who need to drive can drive with traffic only in city or town centers rather than everywhere.

I'm shopping a bunch of folding bikes. The XP 3 appears to have the best mix of weight/power/speed/price without being too "tanky." So I'm calling this one the benchmark from which all other bikes are measured. Bro you really beat up that bike though! haha.

Once when I was turning at an intersection, I had a speeding Altima who was behind me narrowly miss me to cut in front of me as he was turning into the same lane I was turning into.

If memory serves was the impulse basically the same thing as a Geo storm Also?

As usual you deliver a great review. I bought a Himiway Cruiser bike about a year ago (very similar predecessor to the bike you reviewed) and I really love it. I am 6' and about 230 lbs and wanted a bike that I felt fit me. My bike is also about 80 lbs and while cumbersome to load and unload from my truck, it's well worth the effort. I'm able to ride bikes with my kids and never thought I would do that again. I'm a believer in this brand and it's a bargain in the class. Thanks for another great review.

We got 13k off our niro but I only had it for couple days as a lease so I mean so far feels fine I’m 6”4 ima put my baby’s car seats behind and see how that feels our grand Cherokee I couldn’t fit without knees smashing this already feel slightly more toom

I'm not really a fan of these 'offroad' trims all the manufacturers are offering. Like you said, 99.9% of them will never see anything more treacherous than a gravel access road to a car camping site. You don't need a lifted version of the lifted version of the Impreza for that.

i had this car from 1986 ,paid $12,000 for it and drove it until 2000. wonderful car. wish i could have kept it.

..you forgot the c33

I loved this video because I was born in 97 and my taste in cars is 90s to early 2000s and seeing your photos of these being so clean makes me so happy. Plus imagining what it would be like to buy these new in period

I'd be interested to have you try the Heybike Ranger-S and Mars 2.0. Just wondering what your thoughts are on those. They are seeming to try and play off being a high quality/low price eBike that is American designed, but Chinese built. Honestly we have two, just wanted to see what you think. Praise seems high, but I think a lot of it is bought by them.

As a straight male, I could never own a Crosstrek.

CVT. Ew.

Only in Los Angeles will you find two Isuzu Ascenders within a couple blocks of eachother

Wilderness trims should come with fully rubberized floor without carpet to make interior more distinct. Being able to wash easily means no more mud, dirt or bugs in wild. Honda Element had it, and now only a few trucks and Bronco/Wrangler have it.

Turbo pls

I have the 4 door detomaso version pre facelift and i luv it :>

..nothings impossible ..turn it into a stance car

When I was comparing SUV's such as Toyota RAV 4 , Honda, Kia, & Nissan, in AWD system, price, options, Subaru came out on top. I'm now the proud owner of a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, All I can say is wow! Exceeded all expectations, and I'm loving it !!!!!

Great video Ethan - had no idea you’ve had so many trucks! I think I’ve had 7 cars total, which would be a rounding error on this list 😅

Mom: "You have to get a car because its too dangerouse to walk to the park." Kid: "Why is so dangerouse?" Mom: "Because of the cars."

As a wagon fanatic: This isn't a wagon, and neither is the Outback. No D pillar on this, it's a blend of a hatch/CUV now. Both have more ground clearance than a Highlander, and these Wilderness ones are ride taller than a Tacoma. The Outback is a full SUV since 2014 riding on a different subframe than the Legacy. Both of these DWARF my 9⁵ Sportcombi and V60 T5.

Don't buy the supercharged previa van, those engines warp.

I'll gladly take that car off your hands

Wonderful dogs.

I just lova that Nova!

I had an X 90 back in 2004 lol fun but guttless

Where is the Dodge Spirit R/T? It had a DOHC lotus head turbo engine, and was faster than every other car on your list. In 1990, it was WAY faster than the SHO Taurus, the fastest 4 door car sold in the United States, and quicker than a Ford Mustang 5.0.

Great review.

My Nissan pulsar was named snoopy. the head gasket go out in this car a lot still a fun car to drive.

listen i love my dads 1982 saab 900.

Fantastic to see the streets of LA again up close and personal & also on your fun car spotting vid from two videos ago (guessing it was a Sunday?). Went for a bike ride on my fold up ‘pedal power’ last night to collect my car from repairs, enjoyed it, & thought of your e bike review videos and your new found ‘appreciation of them. I think I lit a spark & although I am in outback Queensland, with mostly quiet roads I’m open to exploring this option! Thanks!

Some great spots here! I can’t believe you saw TWO Ascenders

fun video to watch brother 👍

Throw some red Watanabes on it!❤

The specs are good but the price point is just soooo high. I would find myself cross shopping with motorcycles in this range.

I'd disagree with the comment that e-bikes aren't for exercise. Drop the assist to 1 and it basically balances out the extra weight of the bike and you still get a good workout. It also enables you to bump up the assist for a big hill or a strong headwind, enabling exercise on windy days or hilly areas that might keep people at home otherwise. Maybe these heavy fat tires aren't ideal for it, but they'll work. I ride my Ride1Up 700 ST for both transportation and exercise (when it's too windy for the acoustic bike). Ride1Up makes some more normal exercise-focused bikes too - might be an interesting review for you. E-Bikes are just great all around. Glad you're doing these reviews!

seems like this bike has normal tektro brakes with 1.8mm brake discs and a 2 piston brake caliper. on a bike this heavy especially if it is fully loaded it should have the 2.3mm discs with a 4 piston brake caliper😅

If you ever want to sell it, I'm interested in purchasing it.

Ton of fun. Loved it. Would be great to see more of these!

I did the same thing here in Orange County. But, mine are a photo collection on Flickr.

Had you done more pedaling, I think your review would’ve been much more negative… these big wheel, heavy bikes are not for pedaling.

@HelloRoad only thing I don’t like about most E-bikes are they have big fat tires but the front forks they use aren’t any better for the extra weight, My friend had one and the forks snapped at the head point If your battery goes dead you have a long heavy ride home

@HelloRoad what make are your sneakers ? I love the different colours of them Great video
