- Alex Kersten contorts himself into the scaffolding-inspired cabin of the Ariel Nomad to see whether this oddity is still relevant in 2023.

Love that Autotrader has bought Alex into the videos. Great addition to the team!
I’ve been thinking this whole video, didn’t he own a blue e36 m3? I know I’ve seen him before. If so, welcome to the team!!
@@marioc87 yes he did called Colin also got a V6 mx5 and a few other cars
@@benllewelyn98 just a few other cars😅😅
I want to see him and Rory do a Top Gear type special!
By the looks of things ur comment is in the works
@@UtopiaYA Exciting !
Was thinking the same
i would like that to its the perect team
Yes definitely. Except maybe something original instead of copying another shows ideas...?
Kersten is such a great addition to this channel, and I hope it propels it into the best future this year. CT is looking grim without him.
I think CT suited him better not Auto Trader which can be perceived as more professional
@@uk7866 I think so too, but if CT couldn't keep him, and he wants to do his own stuff on Autoalex, but some bigger budget stuff, I think he can do good here too.
CT is not looking grim…
I haven't watched a CT video since he left and I'd been watching that channel for years !
CT was Alex.
I LOVE the fact that Rory and Alex share the same passion and fun for cars in the same screen... Epic videos.
The car community can often be toxic and vile, but seeing how everyone supports lads like Alex is very uplifting 👌🙌
I BLOODY love the Nomad, not gonna lie 😍
Is it better than a Peugeot 308 though?
living the dream bro!
A nomad spec Phil would be very cool 😅
it would be cooler with an AWD setup
@@louiearmstrong I think side by side ATVs like Can-Am Maverick destroyed Ariel Nomad sales. Maverick is basically the same thing but starts at 19k, where as used nomads go for 60k
Love seeing Alex on this channel, he breaths new life into it.
More please 🙏
@@freemindedproductions what?
@@minij8703 sorry it was not ment to be on your reactions ☺️ but I would love to see them together with a new season of cartreck (UK special?)
Great vid and nice to see Alex on Autotrader. It would be great to see how the Nomad copes with speed bumps - if it does well it is very relevant where I live!
Love having these two on screen. Can't wait to see more of this in the future.
This is a great addition to the channel, will be watching more autotrader content with Alex. Very well deserved too, one of the best in the uk and I think most will agree.
Alex and Rory are a great combo on screen!
ALEEEEEEX between Rory and Alex and the team auto trader is officially one of the best automotive channels...in the world...ahem 😉, brilliant work folks
Alex on Autotrader?? Awesome!
I can't get enough of Alex in this channel..and him with Rory just pure entertainment
Loving seeing Alex on Auto Trader! Him and Rory work really well!
Great to see Alex 👏🏽 looking forward to more epic videos
Great to see a proper car man on auto trader 👍🏼
the rory + alex rapport must’ve been natural because it was evident so quickly and now it’s so effortlessly fun. how top gear used to be
he sounds more and more like clarkson. i love it!
Id love to daily one of these, for the experience and the drama. The cold might suck but it would be an adventure everyday.
Seen this beauty once in my life, in rugged Somerset.. Couldn't rest my eyes on for too long though, as it just disappeared in its natural habitat pretty easily!
Like the video Alex, good to see a positive review, last time you drove one you were not so happy.
Great to see Alex on here
Amazing to see Alex. Love him. But here's a thought. You can build a really cool buggy for about 10k and have some fun. Swap tires, adjust ride height/stiffness for different surfaces. I wanted one back in the day along with the atom.
Imagine a journey involving Alex, Alex and Rory with 3 supercars on a windy road 🤤
Really good combo with Alex and Rory.
Great vid. I never gelled with mine but so be it. Maybe I should have taken it to the track these guys were on. So many owners move them on after a few hundred miles. It's a very polarising car, once you've actually got one.
I absolutely love the Nomad. I'll take mine in Green on Green with Green alloy's thanks 👍👍👍
Man, just by hearing your voice, it brought out many memories.
I may be wrong but I think the last time you reviewed this car, you summarised by saying you didnt see the point.... I see perhaps now you have got the point! well done.... and yes I was an nomad owner.
Was? What happened?
Love to try one of these out. Never seen one in the UK but saw 4 in the states just this November.
Alex on autotrader.... a-bloody-mazing, 2023 is off to a great start!!!

Yes, the one and only AutoAlex
Love Alex getting about he deserves it.
Dang that looks like fun going around them turns 😂😂
I want this car. This is the perfect ‘sports’ car - especially for here (Australia). Hillclimbs? Rally? Track days? Yep. Hell, I’d even have a crack at going off road with my 4x4 mates. If anyone knows the lotto numbers for next week please DM me…
100k No
The Nomad is a Sandrail for modern times. Wonderful!!!
Living the dream Alex!
Good work Alex 👍
A Nomad is the car equivalent of Alex; and all the better for it.
The sound is superb
Bro' 😀You guys are just kicking it together
Nifty footwork, Alex... 👌
Fantastic to se Alex here.
More Alex on youtubez... Everywhere please
Love the video
One of these with a Frankenstein K24 bottom end and K20 top end making about 350hp NA would be a blast.
Love it alex go on lad!!!
Cool car....enjoyed the content👍😎
Good to see the car throttle guy going places.
Alex on Autotrader! Result!
nice Alex its a step up for Autotrader Alex and Rory together. lets make some Specials like the old top gear H, M & C
Rory and Alex are a great duo.
Rory and Alex Are the Dream Team for auto trader
My dream ; with a camper and a Nomad crossing Europe.....such a fun and beuatifull car
Autotrader placed an ad for a bonkers presenter and found the perfect candidate 🤣👍
Great to see Curborough being driven in this !
Next up. Replace the spare tyre with a roof box and take the Nomad shopping at a local supermarket to “prove” it is a practical vehicle (optionally take GF )
That looked like great fun, wasn’t sure what was going to move with the winch… Rorey or the car lol
I think these 2 folks must get called in for Top Gear hosts, with Matt from carwow and maybe even Jason from Hagerty. Would probably shoot that series back to the golden era of those 3 knobs. But then again, I'd hate to see any changes to the existing respective channels they represent...
Errrrm I think you'll find Rory was a Top Gear Host and TBH CZcams suits him better
Now we need to see this off road
I'd love to see some reviews from Alex and Rory together!
The new Top Gear should be Rory, Alex, and Chris. Proper car enthusiasts.
As if Alex is making content on this channel! This has potential to be the next top gear line up! Brilliant.
It's as relevant as it's always been...not much. But that just adds to the appeal
Alex you legend❤
One of my dream cars
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Definitely
It’s absolutely relevant. Because it’s something purely for fun, something entirely different and something 100% ICE with no driver aids, in a world of amorphous blobs. I live in the French Alps and from Apr to Oct the weather is generally dry. I’d drive one of these as my daily around my local twisties.
Personally I can think of only one negative and that’s that there is no 4WD option. RWD shows it’s Ariel DNA and road bias, and will limit the car to fast, hard trail-type ‘off roading’. But with 4WD it could give the user so many more options.
Nevertheless an amazing vehicle. Well done Ariel. 🙌
must be great fun to drive!
Dont you dare get rid of this man… this man is a legend
‘Inside’ the ariel nomad lol 😂
Question. Would you like to take and test my Nomad R….? K20 Honda engine, Sadev gearbox, 335bhp?
Yes. Instagram @mrroryreid
@@AutoTraderTV sent!!
I see Alex I click
Before watching.. of course it is relevant! 😀
A cheap to run EV for the family and most importantly getting THIS for me self ✌😁
You are total right about never seei❤ng one on the road but i have driven my business partners BAC Mono for a week while he went camping with my Bruder exp-8 in Alaska , so i have a feeling what this beast is like .
Has Alex traded in CarThrottle for AutoTrader? With a 6 months non-compete clause that led him to AutoAlex? :D
He just need more money to fix that pile of shitboxes 😄
@@kamilcuniak8412 Those shitboxes are goldmines he's sitting on, if only he'd finish em lol
@@LoosSerine if only ....
Alex - the three of you on Telly - sure fire winner ?
it's like a perfect daily driver car for my mom she likes to go " off road " literally and drive on the sidewalks and people's lawns
Bruh
I want it. Now.
Excuse me..cld i order an automatic version n price please..cheers..
Sort of feel like Alex might end up on Topgear
this channel way too underrated mann
this deserves more
Why this car is sold in cold and wet UK but not here in Brazil?! This is the perfect car for our weather!!! 😂
Alex, Rory and Taylor should take over at Top Gear!
i saw someone daily this a few years ago in chester
Rory and Alex on the same channel, oh man!
That honda engine makes a lovely noise.
I assume it has a lower road tax than other cars - because I rarely seems to all four wheels on the tarmac at once??
My 2021 Mazda CX5 GTR can drive on grass too.
Hell Yes!
lol took me a while to realise who I was watching on what channel haha
The Nomad is top of my lottery-win shopping list. And there's not much else on the list!
Still obsessed with the Nomad. But would also want one that's whisper silent, to explore rural tracks and villages without scaring any villagers or animals I didn't mean to scare. So that's a Rolls Royce engine swap, or something electric. Could a project result in a ~400 hp ultralight rally car and at the same time a fun exploring vehicle using "Chill Mode"? What would be the way to go, a 30 kW rally car kit, or well chosen 4 motors, one per wheel, that offers the right power and torque between 0 and 2000 rpm or so? 2500 rpm direct drive is going to be scary methinks. Two Plaid modules would make for 40 kWh and 400 hp. I bet those are 400V thus 800V motors are an option. A light way to get that capacity and power. And dare I say, cheap. I'm a big guy so I could live with an upscaled Nomad cage chassis to make room for the mods, +10% or +20%. Not 20% in the width, though probably. Wheels, whatever the lightest grippiest gravel WRC like wheels/tyres are? In a light build with EV drive, brakes would not get pushed too much so could be relatively modest.
If it’s got Alex in I’m watching it, the funniest Munchkin on CZcams !!
top bloke alex a proper car freak
be good to see a car challenge with rory and alex
They are quite pricey, I recall. If they were £30-40K, they would be a good toy but I think that they are much more than that.
Think they’re twice the price. Look bloody brilliant though.
@@Shyted I think side by side ATVs like Can-Am Maverick destroyed Ariel Nomad sales. Maverick is basically the same thing as nomad but starts at 19k, where as used nomads go for 60k
Ooooh autotrader has a celebrity presenter! Now they just need taylor and rory and theyve got a better line up than current top gear
I'd love for someone to compete in rallies in these to see how they compare, point to point.
Autocar magazine did a feature a few years back racing one against a Group N rally car (Mitsi Evo) on a stage in Wales and think there was only a second or so between them.
I would fight someone to have one of these
