- There's a crime taking place in the car world today. We aren't driving our cars! Specifically exotics, supercars, classics and more. What does that mean? Well for starters in means we aren't enjoying them and the other thing is we don't know how they behave after being driven for a while. Well today I am here to change that will my second video on "the Good, the Bad, the Ugly." This series aims to educate you on what to expect in terms of joy and aggravation while owning a luxury car and actually DRIVING it. In this episode I tell you all about our 50,000 mile Rolls Royce Phantom.
Enjoy!
Thanks for all your support so far. Your comments, views, and likes light a fire under my butt to always improve and bring you these videos.
Oh and if you haven't already, SUBSCRIBE! ;)

MPG? Carbondioxide footprint? I want to know if you ever consider these things while driving.
Yes I do. I think to myself all the time, how can I make a larger carbon footprint
Who cares about carbon footprint? It’s a con by governments to tax idiots more . India and China give off more pollution than the rest of the world.
Go drive your prius and STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oceans create more CO2 than all of man's inventions. However, the climate is being altered by geoengineering, which is man made, and that's what's doing the damage and creating the hazardous controlled weather patterns and fires. Look up in the skies once in a while at those chemical stripes intentionally sprayed. They are the culprit, not a Rolls.
@@gdcat777 Well said my friend - hazardous controlled weather - Global Initiative that started in WW2 -
BMW and reliable are two words that do not belong in the same sentence together
You don’t buy these brands for reliability. Go buy a Toyota if you want that. You buy these cars for the experience, and for many that’s worth the big price and high cost of maintenance. If you were a car person you’d understand that.
Ata Wok shut up
Lol he’s right though...
Lol sorry you’re too broke and ignorant to understand man, same with the Toyota owning college students that liked your comment
Ata Wok you're just running your words like a blind ignorant fool. Keep quiet.
NOW THAT'S A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED PHANTOM REVIEW. EVERYONE JUST TALKS ABOUT THE LAVISHNESS AND COOLNESS BUT YOU ARE A DIFFERENT BEAST. PS.CONGRATULATIONS FOR THOSE 50,000 MILES.
One of the best car review videos on you tube! Host comes across very honest and real. Great job!
This video was so helpful because my father recently purchased a Ghost with 15k miles on it. Thank you.
That Car isn't a 6.75 litre V12... Only the new ones are like that in the newest models like Black Badge phantom 8 and the cullinan
@@Head201216 There is no such thing as a black badge Phantom and even the old phantoms had 6.75L V12s. Only the Ghost,Dawn and Wraith has the 6.6. Do your research before you start blurting out random "facts"...
@@carmadnab i think he meant Black Badge, Phantom 8, and Cullinan
@@kingoftampa The "Black Badge" is not it's own separate model. It is just a more powerful variant of the Ghost, Wraith and Dawn which are all 6.6L V12s....
Relax People " Black Badge " Is A Submodel, Could Be Applied to Any Rolls Royce But Only A Few Carry It.
Great video. Appreciate the anecdotal storyline & evidence of the good, the bad, and the ugly
The Yacht is like sitting on a cloud and I always enjoy getting a ride from it. Good detail insight into the car m8.
i'm so ashamed because the fuel filter on my car is less than 10$!
50 de lei, nu ? :))
@@maicalgecsan6988 cam asa
haha you should be happy about that lol
Why would you be ashamed about that?
But you don't have to remove piles of stuff to install it. The window and door lock module is in the drivers door...new one ...8,000
I agree with being stared at when driving a Rolls Royce ..great at first but it gets annoying eventually. I use my GM vehicle as a daily driver.
Super cool video!! Good to hear the wear and tear and experience in daily use! Super unique view to see normally it’s simple detail of features.
I love the honesty of your page, thanks.
This car has just over 50k miles and it’s falling apart...
Yah I was reading every comment trying to find one like yours. A Ford will last longer than 50,000 miles and look good at the same time. I don't like Ford as much as Toyota or Honda but still he keeps saying it's reliable and it's not. Also only 50,000 miles and the seats are cracking and fading? He also keeps saying it ages well but the truth is they don't they age terribly when I see them I can tell they are old. Even if I can afford one I would never buy one I will just lease it and when it starts having issues trade it in for a new one.
It has an awful lots of parts that could fail. probably 3 x as many sensors , motors etc then a camry
@@Tony-hx2fj which makes it that much more unreliable. So many unnecessary sensors and monitors are put on cars nowadays. Sometimes they help improve things on the car but a lot of times they're just gimmicks. I would still rather spend my yearly maintenance cost of a Rolls-Royce on a brand new Toyota that I know will last for years. Not trying to diss anyone or disrespect anyone and what they like but I can't find the sense in spending $50,000 on a car that only has 50,000 miles.
My Honda ~ is 1999 and still looks like new and has 160K runs like new and have my own umbrellas on each side of the car located on the newspaper holders😈😆
He's still right BMW has vastly improved the over-all reliability of the RR ENGINE and how long it can actually run WITH enough over-priced maintenance. They are vastly less broken from an ENGINE standpoint than they were in the day. Still all the electronics are BOUND to be broken forever one day which is something that wouldn't have happened in a classic RR. People love to hate the Germans but when it comes to European cars they are the superior engineers.
dude this is probably the best RR review i have seen tbh. atleast you daily drive it but the bads are actually not that bad, i mean 50000miles on a BMW would get you a $50000 bill and as for the wheels and tires you can buy a set nice looking forged alloy wheels(obviously better looking and light weight) from Forgiato or Vossen ect for around $6000 and the tires would be around $2000, now thats a better deal than paying 12000 just for some overpriced tires cause oem is not always better imo.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
and sell those original wheels for 12 grands, making $5000 in the end
Thanks for the Forgiato or Vossen recommendation on wheels. Looks awesome. I like the Forgiato site
@@vudinhdzung only this model had those wheels. All the others did not. It's a problem buying this specific year anniversary model.
@@shawnsmith1865 Oh look at the original Forgiato line by OZ Racing. Titanium bolts and all.
Love the rolls, great video!
What an entertaining video, loved your manner in how you presented this. Subscribed. And best wishes.
Thank you for having an incredible car that you actually use!
Well done Bro! Appreciate the caustic attitude.
One of the best Goodwood Phantom videos, thank you.
It’s a gorgeous car. First time seeing it. Beautiful.
nice video thx 4 sharing your experiences with RR !
Great vid! It’s good to see a review on a car like this used as a daily driver. So many high end luxury cars become garage queens. I know someone who ran right out and bought the ZL1 when Chevy brought it back. It’s a garage queen.., not even 2000 miles put on it. That’s right.., less than 2000 miles in like six years! I take credit for at least 10 miles on the odometer :-)
Great video. Thanks for the closer look at it. That is a particular beautiful one. Not to be rude but what does the family do?
The back seat was funny! I'll subscibe!
This is your real personal opinion and I respect that my friend has a phantom exactly the same as yours even the same colour for the past two years he had nothing but the negative things to say about it now every person is experience could be very different he sold it about a month ago or should I say he gave it away after losing 200.000
I can only speak for my experience and I can tell you that a new car that is newer than 2012 -2013 they’re good cars you won’t have any problems with them for now now about any new cars they’re all great yes every now and then will get a lemon but hey 💩 happens
Me i drive german cars and Cadillacs ONLY
Yes i know you might say what Cadillacs?
Yes from ATS-V to Escalade, and from BMW 3 series to my new Porsche Panamera
All wonderful cars ! Nothing ugly
Great review, thanks so much. I aim for later this year for mine.
Well said, An honest assessment...Thanks for sharing...
I was prepared to hate you. You're now my favorite car guy. After Doug. Keep up the good reviews! I'm subscribing.
Derek Washington Doug the kind of guy who saw this comment, you failed the Doug score 🤣
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS, GREAT VIDEO 😎
Fascinating review very well presented thx. Amazed at some cheap parts like the mirror and the tyres for 12k !!
I’d like to see you do a side by side comparison of a similar year, and body styled Bentley and see how well (or not) it held up and costs to repair / maintain at 50k miles.
You have a great future in youtube. Love your review and did anybody tell you you have Tom Hank's voice? Great voice man!
Your funny as hell😂. I literally thought I was the only one that was weird like this. I profile the cars next to me around me, next to me and behind me . So I say screw it and end up parking in a different zip code lol ("the life of owning a nice car")
Ali Ali =
Fantastic and very entertaining to share your joy of the excellence in British engineered Rolls Royce .In London I have Saab 9000 Turbo's or Alfa 166 V6 Cars of a very distinct character. Its unlikely I will ever have a Phantom but it has been great to share a few moments of a ride with you digitally..Very proud of you mate. Why can't doom mongers be happy for someone else . I am very happy for you and you weren't showing off Keep smiling . and your presentation was way better than Dugout Dmero. You are like friend saying look what I got amd I feeling happy for you ..Bless You from London England Home of RR
Your funny brother. Cracking me up. Thanks for the insight
The Phantom is a magnificent car, beautiful to behold and I congratulate anyone who has one in their garage..buuuut all these CZcams videos that show ownership of high end European luxury cars just reinforces my view that the best luxury cars on earth (esp used vehicles 5 years and older) are Lexus, and the best luxury sedan is the LS.
Rolls is reliable. Expensive handcrafted parts. The maintenance on yearly is cost the same as S Class
@@rahimi4762 what’s your definition of reliable? A Rolls may not leave you stranded at the side of the road with steam pouring out from under the bonnet (hood) but you will find a number of malfunctions associated with the myriad of BMW electronics and and other systems. Items like window regulators for example do go and will cost a fortune if you go OEM RR replacement.
Do ppl randomly give you job resumes when you drive around too?
Pitch a startup idea. Ask for your secret tip for getting rich ;)
Outstanding video and channel
Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Rolls. It is fascinating to see a real world review on such an expensive car. I'll probably stick with my old Town Car as it's a bit cheaper to fix...
yes!!
If I park just right, maybe they won't hate me LOL
Great vid. Interesting and unusual perspective on this kind of car
I love that you constantly repeat that people think you're important for driving a RR but you really aren't. because most probably a lot of other rolls royce owners really think themselves as more important or superior but you don't. great video btw
Love the shirt 👌
Great video!
I've driven Phantom 7, Ghost, and Wraith countless times, got a chance to drive the Phantom 8 for 3 days. I really don't mind the stares, I know they're just looking at the car. Windshield, and all other windows are tinted anyways, rarely open the windows too. Family member's Cullinan still hasn't arrived yet, so I haven't got a chance to experience it. I'm a fan of RRs, love the way they drive, smell, feel, and look, the quietness, love everything about them. With the price of these vehicle, the expensive repair bills are really no surprise...
Love this!! I want one
Amazing vehicle. Thanks for sharing. I'd be stressed driving it, i'd be thinking about the 12K for a new set of tyres
How are you able to find tires for that car? Dosen't it have that run flat system?
The designer of this car lives right next to me, Greetings from Bavaria ☺️
You must mean
Marek Djordjevic, he designed the first Phantom model while working for Rolls in 2003. He left Rolls in 2005.
Yes Ze Germans own Rolls Royce. No more Merlin engine's I guess!
fasthracing
No RR cars and RR aero engines are 2 different companies have been for nearly 50 years. So Merlins engines yes
It was my understanding that Marek Djordjevic lives in Los Angeles.
@@andrewnorris5415 The Phantom 5 was on display at a car show in 1966 in Australia. the Phantom name for a Rolls has been used for a very long time.
Does the button to close the back door come with the `fart' noise or is it an extra 2k for flatuanced enhanced acoustics!!
What a beautiful car . How long have you owned it for ? Do you think you will keep it for a real long time ?
Are there aftermarket wheels that can take the original centre cap?? This would individualise/modernise and solve the issues with the tyres (very important if u get a puncture driving continental)
the peninsula hotel in Hong Kong use these cars to chauffeur guests around.
Frank Denardo So does The Ritz in London
Practical use. The chauffers probably have great stories and anecdotes. I'm curious.
I paid $7 for a martini there in 1970 so I would expect nothing less than a rolls.
@@wernerdanler2742 woow I would be scared to ask for an extra olive
Think I will keep my Chevy Tahoe. A work harder to get...another Tahoe. Entertaining video!
This video is one big flex
Yeah, flexing for his daddy, obviously.
The mirror issue is also common trait on bmws..
BLK the Rolls Royce logo reminds me of the hubdometer.
My A6 had that problem also and I replaced it with an after market so it would not plug into the outside mirrors because when they dimmed at night you literally could not see anything in them they got so dark.
That issue was fixed after 2012 models
the mirror in my daughter's jetta has been on the back seat for 6 months
Well Kept Phantom !! 😎👌🏽
What model year is the car? I don't think you mentioned that.
Rocketjay12 sorry good point it’s a 2004 (Centenary Phantom) 1 of 35
Great vid dig the shirt and I agree %1000 about the parking I will only go sports that have valet and all 3 spots know me well and put my cars up in ur face lol thx bro keep doing more vids I'm rolls Bentley guy
Nice Video. I agree you need to have deep pockets to own one of these cars. The maintance alone can be absurd compared to a mere S class but not as bad as some super cars. There alot more reliable than the old rolls royce but not close to being as reliable as an S class. I own both cars mentioned and others and the phantom very comfy and beautiful and yes when you go out in it. Its like its a special occasion. Did you know to get new carpets for an ewb phantom its almost 8K.
I don't know what the depreciation is in America, But it is around $1800 per week in the UK. Not really a problem, because a vehicle that weighs 6000 lb and above can be written off as a truck for tax reasons
I like the blue interior! So many black, beige, and gray interiors out there. It’s nice to see something different. But I would have had them stain the woodwork dark blue as well.
Who else thought his nose was bleeding at 6:58 😂
He was having deep thoughts about the 12K tire from RR while doing the review lol
Awesome video
I’m English you either like a Rolls-Royce or you don’t simple I like Bentleys but I also like Rolls-Royces excellent cars you just have to have a way with life to appreciate them
I am in the market for a Murcielago and it is next to impossible to find videos like this. Learning about common issues, maintenance costs, things to look for. The problem is, as you said, people do not drive and enjoy their cars. They garage them and show them off at events.
The Phantom is a great car, but a pain in the ass to maintain. As others have stated, RR ended when they went out of business. THOSE were solid amazing cars. A twenty foot yacht is too big for.. anyone. This car was not designed to be driven.
I just bought a 2004 Phantom and my rear view mirror is blacked out too, where did you get your replacement mirror?
Videobob Moseley I watch all your Phantom videos. You make the best content on actual ownership. Did you ever look at a Ghost? I'm finding 2010-12 for slightly more than what you got your Phantom for. Would you pull the trigger?
I know that’s very curious of me but I’m dying to know how much you got it for vs how much you think you can sell it for now, I’m also dying to know if you had to estimate the sum of all the maintenance how much did you end up paying???
Great video
Maintenance costs will be ridiculously expensive and extremely impractical
@@netlehien Actually, if you know what you are doing, many of the parts are interchangeable with BMW parts. The BMW parts are much cheaper than the Rolls Royce branded parts. The V12 engine is entirely BMW. I own a VW Phaeton which is essentially a Bentley with a VW badge on it. The trickle charger with the Bentley logo on it costs twice what the same charger costs without the logo on it. It is a CTEK charger which is identical and costs half as much. Many BMW parts fit the Phantom and many VW parts fit the newer Bentleys.
@@incog99skd11 really? How interesting! Good to know that it won’t cost an arm and a leg when something goes wrong
Very cool the scence you got stuck in the car when it’s raining
When I was young the Silver Cloud was the Rolls. They were built with care and were mostly the same as other cars and they weren’t expensive to keep up. Now they are full of gadgets and electronic devices that are sure to give out over time. Fixing them is prohibitively expensive. If you can’t afford a new one you certainly can’t afford a used (old) one.
Thanks for sharing. I thought about getting a 2008 Phantom, but I realize now that the cost of maintenance will be unbearable after a while
I aim to buy a pre-owned one to keep in the family for future generations.
Thanks I enjoyed your video
@ 14:07 - I do that with all of my cars, LoL!! I always end up parking with NOBODY around me and end up walking twice as far as I have to..
A Very good, honest review. Despite the legend, RR is NOT the best car in the world. Yes, It is a fine car, even an excellent car, but is is NOT the best in the world nor is it even a good value return on dollars spent. As a manufacturer, RR is overly focused on unnecessarily hand crafting luxury minutia which their advertising department then extolles to wealthy clients. The inference being perfectly crafted woodwork and leather are emblematic of overall vehicle perfection and bespoke customization. Yes, It takes hundreds of hours to hand polish and finish the English burle walnut trim, and to palpate and hand stitch the upholstery cow hides cut only from happy, grass fed cows imported from countries with no barbed wire... And the lambs wool rugs are personally selected and massaged for hours by trained craftsmen, each fluffy rug carved from contented little lambs... Such wasted effort, and misplaced energy. Why does dashboard wood trim need the extremely costly finish of a museum quality antique? It's a car dashboard, it will get hot, damp and crack like all the others in cars around the world always do, and in five or eight years, it will need refinishing. No amount of hand buffed French lacquer will stop that. Period. What possible quality does a lambs wool rug contribute to a car floorboard? Why is that expensive feature necessary when other more durable options are available at 10% of the cost? The honest truth is yes RR are beautiful, regal, luxurious and pretty well built cars. No better or worse than other luxury cars. In fact RR shares many parts with its parent company BMW. All things considered, Lexus or Bentley are probably better values and cost substantially less to maintain. The insurance and maintenance costs for RR are cardiac-arresting. Tuneup costs are about $4,000 annually and an oil change alone can be $650. Insurance runs about $500 per month. I remember calling my insurance agent once and telling him I had purchased a RR, there was a loud gasp, followed by a long silence, then nervous gibbering. He had to get special permission, and almost refused to insure it. And Depreciation? Don't ask, your accountant will need oxygen. While a great drive, RRs are NOT perfect, and have all the annoying problems of a Cadillac or Lincoln, or a Buick if not more- except the costs are hyperbolic to the absurd. $12,000 for tires due to idiotic RR engineering errors is beyond intolerable. Had this occurred in anything but a RR, there would be massive litigation and forced recalls. A thousand dollars for a fuel filter is predatory, and insulting. Even old money are starting to take notice. One billionaire I know told me he doesn't mind paying big money for high quality, but he knows when he is being cheated... Such as thousands of dollars for knick knack items like mirrors, clips, and plastic wheel logos... he basically said every rich guy is entitled to buy and have fun with a Rolls Royce... once... Then get rid of it and get a car with good inherent value. I agree. I am reminded of a story told about JP Morgan. When a friend inquired about the cost of his Yacht, he replied "If you have to ask, you can't afford it..." My assessment of a RR is: 1) They are best leased new, and kept for no more than 4 years 2) To afford a new one, you need more than substantial disposable wealth, you need to have about $2,000 extra dollars per month to toss into a money pit. Do not expect to get any money back, enjoy what it buys and what it is, as you go along. Then one day you will wake up and come to your senses 3) Be prepared to endure sneers, ugly gestures and rude people as you drive along where non wealthy people may be. 4) You may also have some unexpected laughs and fun, a rough motorcycle gang once gave me an escort down the freeway, they had a blast herding other drivers out of my way. After a while they waved good bye and went on their way... Delightful! 5) Don't expect any deals on anything at the dealership. Their attitude is you bought it, you knew what you were buying, so bend over and pay the piper... No whining allowed or sympathy granted. 6) When you drive the car, you will ONLY enjoy it on the open road. Traffic and town driving is agonizing. You will worry about parking and vandalism, so you will use it sparingly and rarely. 7) When you have passengers, you will worry about scratches, digs, high heels, crossed legs, muddy feet, and chewing gum on kids sneakers. Eventually it will become a garage queen. 8) It will have seal leaks, hydraulic leaks, hose breaks and cracks, belt breaks, transmission leaks, electrical problems, just like a Jaguar or Dodge. Plastic bits will break, window switches and motors will fail. This is why you want to be rid of it in 4 years or less.
9) If you really want a RR, consider a well maintained and documented vintage model you can enjoy as a hobby. They have all the stately charisma, and not as many headaches. You still have maintenance, but it's a hobby piece, not a daily driver. It holds its value better, and can be fun.
Insightful stuff, but unfortunately the people that buy this type of car are'nt worried about depreciation or value for money or insurance and all the maintenance costs, for them, its about balling, the money was never an issue in the first place, the guys that complain about such things are still struggling financially and better rift to more affordable s-class, 7 series and or the A8..
@@duffydon1741 Yep, it's an extra statement, "I can afford to run this thing, you can't".
A "Tune Up"?
On a modern Rolls Royce?
What is that?
@Sarthak SumanLets be honest.
Did anybody actually read that fictional essay above?
What is a paragraph, Charles Butler?
Oh, that is correct, you have no way of knowing.
Seem like a cool dude, love the watch. That's something at least I can afford.
The problem with fancy vehicles is that they can’t take a good beating as a daily driver
Funny bro. You are going to blow up if you keep with it.
I actually have the same Rolex! Love it!
Good information
Great video.
7000 to fix a fuel filter only if you go to the dealer and like getting ripped off the part is the same as in a 2005 3 series and can be purchased for 70 bucks. This car has a lot of BMW in it and can be cheap as hell to maintain and repair Especially if you do the work yourself. Once you get the necessary tools this car is simple and fun to work on.
Michelin also used the PAX system on Hondas and Acuras....and the fix is to buy aftermarket rims and standard tires...to "dePAX it. I imagine that is a solution for the Rolls as well.....I believe Tyler Hoover had that issue with his.
Cool vid!
This guy is hilarious
He is, without trying too hard.
If you're tired of people staring at you while driving the car, you can have dark window film applied to obscure their view. It serves a secondary and even a tertiary purpose of keeping heat/sunlight out to minimize interior fading as well as obscuring a thief's view of packages you may have in your vehicle (that you should have placed in the trunk). Comes in handy during Christmas shopping.
You will 1 million kays from a $40 000 Ford sedan in Australia if looked after, now that's value!
Things in Maybach are not overdone they are just done to last xD btw the video is great and the interior colour is just amazing
I have noticed that a lot and I mean a lot of super high cars like the Rolls Royce usually have low miles when they are up for sale.
Well let’s just say a phantom doesn’t exactly make a practical daily even as a super rich person
Jeff Anderson: I own a new Honda and I don’t worry about scratching it. If I owned a Rolls. Royce Phantom I would fuss on where to park it and birds pooping on it. :-)
People that get those cars new either lease them or sell after 2 years.
Osama Bin Laden: Why Do people sell them? I would hold onto a car like that car forever.
@@jimboland4161 Because the interior starts to deteriorate. Miles pile up too. There's some people who get bothered by that. And you can't brag to your rich friends about your 2016 phantom in 2019.
Excellent insight to this car. I've been looking at them for awhile as the prices have declined to close to $60,000 wholesale/trade-in, naturally more retail, especially for a low mileage, well cared for version. You have a beautiful example and have done a great job maintaining & caring for it. $7,000 for filters? I would think at this point, as a few others have mentioned, that you can substitute BMW parts on some items that are not proprietary, instead of buying from the Rolls Royce dealer and save, in addition to having it worked on by a knowledgeable BMW mechanic! I contacted Rolls Royce about the wheels and tires. In 2009 they went with a run flat 21" tire wheel combination and discontinued using the PAX system(car does not come with a spare tire). So if someone finds a used Rolls Royce with this system, 2004-2008, it would have to be pretty old in 2020 and probably need to be replaced, unless the previous owner has already done so. According to Rolls Royce, their dealers can sell you nine different varieties of wheels that will fit the 2004-2008 cars. Haven't gotten the prices yet, but you might also find them on a salvage car, EBAY, etc. Once you have the non PAX system wheels, the "conventional" tires are aprox. $1,500 for a set, to replace. One other item I haven't seen anyone address is the insurance to own this car. Since it's not twenty years old yet, I wonder if it can be insured by a classic car insurance company, or do you pay the standard rates? All of these concerns might not have bothered the original owner, who paid $320,000 for it, over $500,000 for the newest versions, but with depreciation and due to the fact that they're not driven like an everyday car, you might find a well maintained example for the price of a new BMW. Sure, it's an emotional purchase, because it's not very practical, a bit of a gamble, but very tempting!
BMW is plastic parts tho
Nice video.
It’s really beautiful automobile. I absolutely love it. Only reason I would buy it is because it’s scary and stressful to drive and park it.
Nice to see, Ted Mosby is doing well.
Same mileage on my Audi A5 and I have less problems....in fact zero problems after 57,000 miles other than a corroded exhaust clip that cost £20 to replace.
Andrewgyny they do a 5 door A5 now and the A7 is very nice but the new Panamera looks great.
This car only problem is a broken mirror
Wooow I really do love Rolls Royce’s but after seeing this video and the car only having 50k miles on it and it already having this many problems...I am disappointed and might not be in love with them anymore :( GREAT VIDEO tho!!
Those are running issues tho. This are very small issues
What is the music called at the end of this video?
Amazing, this car will age faster then it will reach 100k miles, my 2010 Honda insight is 186k miles already.
JUST TO BEAUTIFUL
That’s how cars like that should be used: well taken care of but at the same time, driven and enjoyed.
Funny guy 😂glad I watched
You should try RDBLA for the Tyre work
What year is it?
I have never ever met anyone with these types of vehicles. I’m so middle class it hurts.
What year is yours?
