I'm sorry, but this is one of the most uninformative reviews I've seen in a while. I think you are missing the point with this vehicle.
"Most people don't know what it is", "it's only been around for two years", and this is a reason not to buy one? Surely this is one of the biggest reasons to buy such a unique vehicle! I own a Morgan 3 Wheeler, they've been around since 1912, and most people still don't know what they are, but this is the beauty of owning one.. You get to talk to people, make new friends..
You don't buy this type of car/cycle/autocycle (whatever you want to call it) and expect to be comfortable in it. It is what it is, three wheels engine and a steering wheel. It is for the pleasure of driving, feeling the elements, the road, the air, the rain.. If you want comfort and storage space get a SUV.
You can't expect car manufacturers to maintain and service a vehicle that is not made by them, this is just not rational thinking.. The Morgan has an S&S engine and Mazda MX5 (Miata) gearbox, but it will be crazy for me to assume that I can take my car to them to service.
I can go on, but as I said, you are missing the point entirely and by the sound of it, this vehicle is not for you!
Suspect ass review. Who put this together? Polaris?🤣🤣
Dude!! It’s a GM engine. Parts are readily available. I’ve had zero issues. Customer service is stellar. It’s an unbelievable car. Seriously do your own oil change.
Youre one of the lucky ones. My 2022 Venice had been an absolute nightmare. Major issue after major issue. Been in the shop way more than on the road. We’re talking 3-4 week at a time in the shop. 😕
@@MrSpooky111 same as mine.
@@peterlee9564 sorry to hear that. Mines actually back in the shop as we speak. 🤦♂️
@A V taking an uber to Del amo as I type to pick up the vehicle. Wiring harness shorted this time.
@@peterlee9564 to funny, I hope they got it sorted out. Mines currently in for a faulty oil pump and an evap leak that they can’t seem to find the source of.
I love my VanderHall , this video was possibly made by a competitor company , it’s an Autocycle “when I had an issues with my VanderHall blackjack , the dealership in Hickory Hills , Illinois ( Platinum Motorsports) gladly took it in with no upcharges, they even showed my how to perform oil changes to save on maintenance cost , this was the best $35,000 I ever spent on any vehicle, remember no vehicle is deemed 100% safe Established the via NHTSB. Stay blessed everyone ❤
could you please give me a link so i can do oil changes myself?
Exactly what this video seems and sounds like. Bitter competitor who had to go down low and trash his comp instead of being better and simply winning on etiquette.
I own a 2022 Vanderhall Venice. If I could afford the payment would buy another. This guy is full of BS. Love my ride I even ride it in the rain the same as I did my 2 wheel motorcycle. It's tons of fun and I'm always getting stopped so people can take a picture of it
how do you ride it in the rain? wouldnt water pool up and damage internal parts? is everything inside waterproof or something? Doesn't make very much sense to me...
Water drains out no problem. Everything is water proof the same as a 2 wheel motorcycle. With taller windshield and side deflectors I rode in the rain around 6-7 times and haven't had to put my rain gear on. You can get more than the base model and it comes with a top plus AC. Base model only has a heater and heated seats
I am planning to buy a Vanderhall this year and this was the top question on my mind. If there is sudden unexpected rain then we can keep driving or not. Thanks for clarifying it.
As long as it isn't a storm and really bad down pour I've had no problem with the rain. I've rode a lot of miles in the rain. People look at you funny for it but you stay dry
You are one of the lucky ones with the Vanderhall
The Venice and Carmel are made by a boutique manufacturer. Tradeoffs are an understandable reality, but Vanderhall attempts to leverage the engineering expertise of GM with its own custom fabrication while maintaining a relative degree of affordability. Quality construction and workmanship should be expected, but it will still require the attention of owners willing to inspect, repair or replace items if necessary. There shouldn't be any illusions that this is like a car with hundreds of millions of dollars in production investment or widespread dealership infrastructure. Be aware of what you're getting and be flexible when needed.
so basically you're complaining that you're paying 100$ uber to drop u home n to pick it up? call a frnd to go with u n give u a ride back home!
My kids asked me what a “douche” is today. I showed them this video. They both gasped, and the little one threw up.
You got only maybe 2 points right the rest is BS.
Cliffs: a three wheel motorcycle is not a minivan.
This review sounds fishy.
I agree. Plus some of the things he says almost sounds like a bad AI script. This might even be AI speaking since it doesn't sound natural.
I guess what I mean is, yes, I think it is an artificial voice talking, and I don't believe the person making the video actually owns a Vanderhall. None of this passes the sniff test! @@joelcruz9415
This is real I promise, I have a 2019 and nothing but problems
These are more for motorcycle people not car people. And most motorcycle people don't like to ride in the rain. Get the Carmel model that comes with a roof. I own a Suzuki Boulevard M109R BOSS and was looking at the Vanderhall so I can sit side by side with my passenger, have a more comfortable ride for long distances that wont kill my back. And my motorcycle doesn't have heat and air condition like the Vanderhall. Oil changes on this Chevy motor can be done pretty easy by someone without a man bun. If not, take it to Jiffy Lube and just put the front half over the pit. Complaining about Uber rides or oils changes are your choice. And I still get to ride in my motorcycle riding groups in this.
If you don’t do your research that’s your fault, don’t buy something you can’t afford!!! Lol, if you pay 30k for something you might wanna check the weather! And lastly the Pro makes the Con, these things are rare and when people see you in them most have never even seen it, so the flip side is because it’s rare dealers/shops are still growing!!!
Mannn my uncle pulled up on me in his 22 vanderhall and it was a beauty!! He made me what one even more lol. His has the doors and a nice radio system.
Horrible narration!
I’m spending $50k on the Carmel ! Woo hoo
Lol I’m in the market for one I can’t settle with the Venice it has to be the Carmel
👍
You need some cheese 🧀 to go with your wine
I love vanderhall... I have the carmel and edison2.. both of them are absolutely amazing to drive.. parts are very easily available..
Most importantly its not a bently or some boyscout car... Guys who ride motorcycles will love this three wheeler.
You may need to buy a Cadillac , the rest of us get in shutupdrive it’s the best ride ever
These are are the reasons to buy a vehicle like this lol. I have a campagan T-Rex which has all this issues plus more but the driving experience is second to none and that's why I love it
How i can buy this product
This is a dumb review and I doint even own one
I own a vanderhall venice, personally why do you rely so much on dealerships and other services if you could just do them yourself? It’s not that hard it only takes 4 screws and you have full access to your engine. And if there’s so many accidents and issues that’s probably because you don’t know how to maintain and handle a car.
Tells us what you drive or ride. I bet you do neither.
Be safe if you choose this vehicle. About to attend a funeral because there are many unsafe things about this vehicle.
Dude definitely drinks bud light.
Oh my ...... I never take the time to comment, Are you kidding me, Vanderhall conspiracy with a whiny voice to boot ..... Make sure you keep up the payments on that Prius , And wash it on the weekends so your wife will let you drive it
I'll take two please... sounds like a lot of the same problems Tesla had but everybody still buys those
I've have had zero issues with mine. Couple design issues they should consider however is battery access. And the ability to flip the seat up, not just move it forward and back. Outside this, this is not any worse and better than working on any other vehicle IMO. My Vanderhall dealership has never been a problem, and offered to pick me up and take me back when it was ready. If you take a normal car to any dealership now, it's a 4 hour wait for anything. So I don't expect my Vanderhal dealership to be any better since they usually sell other types of motorcycles as well (i.e. Harleys, etc)
Title is not true but should rather be “10 things to think about before buying a Vanderhall”. All valid things stated. Enjoyed the video
You really complained about a rattle and vibration in a cheap open top 3 wheeler. This has to be the worst review of any vehicle ever before done. A lot of your “cons” are reasonable if we are discussing a Toyota Camry. This is a cheap, 3 wheel auto cycle. It’s not a car, with airbags, seat belts and 4 tires. You said in the video you could buy a car for the same money. to recap this is not a 350Z. It is not a mustang nor is it a 3 series. The cons you’ve listed are nearly all unreasonable. A $30,000 Jetta will have rattles straight off the lot. A brand new mazda 3 will have rediculois wind noise. A 2023 maxima will scrape if you try to pull straight onto any curbed parking lot. For the price and bracket of vehicle this is. I find those faults to be completely reasonable considering a Morgan will have all the same issues for almost double the price. For the unstable breaking claim I’ll say it again. It has 3 wheels.
Sir have you considered buying a Yugo??
I found this video after seeing a local boat dealer selling these for $40k
You are right! You should not own one. They are made for owners who are more hands on and willing to work on there own stuff. You can’t think of it as a vanderhall you must think of it as a super cheap morgan knockoff that you got for less than half the price. Yeah the GM engine sucks it sucked in the car it was made for and is destined to fail. You then get to put in the motor of your own dreams, thats the beauty. Bring on that rx7 motor you love the sound of 9000 rpm right? So it has plastic. Get rid of it and craft your own wood or stainless or whatever parts. Make it yours that is what this is a practically blank slate for you to craft into something special. If you want a polished car that works and is a great commuter get a toyota blah, puke🤮 . If you want a head turner and something truely special then build it or spend the 75k to own the morgan super 3 if you can get one.
"If you want to replace hella shit and spend a good chunk of change to get a car you enjoy driving, get a Vanderhall! It's a good thing!"
My wife and I saw one today for the first time and I thought it might be a Morgan so we had to look closer and saw the name vanderhall and had to google it. My wife and both thought that the car was beautiful and if we weren’t thinking of moving to Italy I would probably be buying one.
I love that you LIKE negative comments, almost like you didn't even read them or just don't care about your own opinion
Old chains and service???
Lol! What’s that?!
🤦♂️
Half of what is stated here is in the "buyer beware" category. If you don't do your research, shame on you.
I personally test drove and bought one a year ago, owned it about three months and sold it. In my opinion, very low quality, cheaply made and issues that should not be issues with the price tag charged.
The lawsuit for the uncontrolled crashes is a huge red flag that should not be ignored!
Had mine for over a year now... still love it. But being real? I'd sell it if offered the right price. Also, I BNR tuned it too, absolutely a beast and a full on head turner. And for the single man? Yeah, this thing works magic.
the issue for me is for the price, now you are getting into M Z4/Z3, Porsche 911 (996 anyway) and c6 Z06 territory, and all of those have a 6 spd manual.
Yes but they are a motorcycle so drive as is .
So jumping in and driving like a car is a no no . So unfair about the crashing
I still want one :)
So this is like a prowler mixed with a slingshot
You must be a Morgan owner😂
i test drove one it was incredible to drive but the dealer was over an hour away and I didnt want to make the drive for every service it needed.
It uses GM parts. Any shade tree mechanic can work on it.
if you wanna cry by a Morgan then you'll really cry 😂🤣😂👍🏻
You should probably review Garden Gnomes instead of cars.
Thie review was done by a Tesla owner. If you can't wrench why would you buy this? If it looks custom it will be high maintenance, who doesn't know that. Chevy Sonic engine. I'd think I could buy the parts
It's such a nice car. SMH I really wanted this 😢😢😢😢
Sounds like you wanted a GT car not a fun Little performance car.
Sould I get a t- Rex, or cafe racer or slingshot
Ahh it's got a gm engine no problem I can definitely can do it. And fix it
Tragic. I actually looked at a few at a dealership that’s 2hrs away from me. I’m more in love with how the rear looks with that beautiful wide tire back there.
Seems like this is just about as bad as the slingshot. That black one though, is beautiful mean!
T-rex forever💪🏆
These reason we ever much opinions , expect the raddle ur spot on I have a 2020 Venice that makes weird metal noise
To me they are unaffordable slingshot is a lot cheaper too even used they are stupid expensive 25k where the hell are the 25k in Texas the are about 35k to 50k
So go buy a Slingshot. Ugly as heck, handles poorly and slow compared to the Vanderhall. Your money.
I wouldn't accept money to have a dealership change my oil. I'll do it myself, thanks.
Autocycle? This seems to be a hit peice...
So basically, if you're kind of a panzy, don't buy one.
It’s not a GM car! Why would they work on it? Try taking a Lotus to a Toyota dealer for a service. Lol
53000 reviews and only 270 likes. Says it all really😂
There is not a backrest in the world that "declines". LOL. I think the work you are looking for is "recline".
I didn't heard any cons. Just someone that don't understand the ownership of a Vanderhaul ..
Did you just say it's 25k? Outweighs the cons for me.
I wish it was $25k. Mine was $34k and with extended warranty and insurance, it is closer to $40k.
Car? There's the problem ... you thought you were purchasing a car. Its a motorcycle chief..😂
I guess I'm getting the Slingshot 🤷♂️
A slingshot is ugly as heck
@@vanillaexplosion99 your money 🤷♂️ I'm sure Polaris will be around for a few more decades. Vanderhall find parts a 5 years from now
@@edd2184 Most of the main components are GM supplied. Unless you need body panels I am sure you will be ok for decades to come.
@@johnhanson2129 I agree with that statement plus a slingshot has a cult following.
I have both ..I have Slingshot and Vanderhall Carmel..I'm happy for both...but slingshot more stability on the street..and Vanderhall more classy and smooth on the street and more powerful because of Turbo
Stop getting mad at this video. He's just trolling
I worked for vanderhall in the manufacturing plant and the owner/ceo Steve vanderhall is a horrible mean person. The cars are built extremely cheap and will not last more than 3 years. They do not care about there employees and cut every Corner that they can
Nobody that has a set of Balls "Pulls INTO" a Parking Spot! - Back in like a MAN!
Number 1 con is “nobody knows what it is.” I knew the reasons were gonna be weak when it started with that. You should title the video “reasons I won’t buy another Vanderhall” your personal opinion on people seeing your vehicle and knowing what it is (wanting to feel special) is not a reason to drag a company.
The "slight vibration" you're experiencing is your brain, rattling around inside your head
You never had to take it to the shop because it broke down on the side of the road? This review isn't adding up.
The guy who made this Video sounds like a whiny millennial. Half of his complaints don't really make sense seeing what kind of vehicle this is supposed to be.
Sir, respectfully speaking, everything you said that was a con was a no brainer. “Don’t drive the convertible roadster in the rain”, thank you sir, note taken.
P.S.
I won’t be taking this car to the grocery store or run any load baring errands in my Vanderhall. I really appreciate the heads up about the storage space though.
Buy a Caterham instead.
I completely agree with this review. I owned a 2018 Venice at it was a horrible experience primarily due to the god awful service at the dealership, lack of manufacturing support and poor quality on critical components. I kept it for 3 years and after dealing with major frustrations of trying to get issues addressed I got rid of it. Buyer beware!!!
I have been following this vehicle since it first came out, and saw a few of them on the road recently in Phoenix and was considering it again. But not now - after read all these bad reviews. Thanks to everyone.
Sounds like somone doesn't know how to work on cars and just likes to complain.
Lol I respectfully disagree with this entire video
Would love to learn more from someone who likes their Vanderhall. Thinking of getting one myself
Come on!!! the : Chevrolet won't touch it so ask to your local Chevrolet dealer before buying is the mos stupid thing ever, will you take your Xbox to sony guarantee service?
Cheaply made but looks good lol 😆.
I think this guy is a little on slow side.
You should at least give credit to the original video. SMH
This has 362 likes and 1.6k dislikes lol
Waaaah! Waaah! Waaaah!!!!!
Go buy a Toyonda Camcorder and stfu
Because its FWD and not a Morgan !!!!
ツクツクGT
What did you expect? Look at it.
Motorcycles are dangerous
Killshot. Vanderhall wasted.
Ngl, im 2 minutes in and all it sounds like is a bad ai roast vid.
I don't believe this guy owns one.
LOL these are not deal breakers, just complaining... its got quarks... thats what makes it a great machine.
It looks like the unholy love child of a funeral casket and a tricycle.
Sounds like a design that's truly one-of-a-kind!
Please dont buy these I know someone who just passed away in this my heart is broken atm
Yeah these are not car’s for women these are cars for men so don’t buy one 🤷🏻♂️🤪😂😂🥴
Clearly the worst review
This review is stolen from another legitimate and much more thorough review. It omits much and even misstates Point 2. Sloppy. Someone is just trying to use AI to steal and profit from someone else’s work.
Bullshit Mr AR
Looks like mini Miata, hummm, Miata, wouldn’t that be better convertible ?
How to run a buisness into the ground lol
