- My mistake. A I6 is smoother than a V6. Oops. If the Countryman is so British, the Jeep Wrangler is INSURMOUNTABLY American.
It's hard not to want to dig into that V6, to take it through puddles and out into the city, out past DePaul
University and its village of Big 10 transplants in yoga pants with bearded boyfriends who tweet out
pictures of craft breweries. You want to just gun this thing, get the wind in your nostrils, to take in the
smell of patchuli and scones and unauthorized snuggles. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This guy's dad probably watched this and thought. Wtf
"Do I need to pull out and check it like a dipstick" Dead, just dead.
I just about almost rofl at that joke.
heh
This guy knows no bounds and I love it
Ahh the jeep wrangler unlimited. Every white girls dream car.
+Patrick rox For real, I don't understand why white girls like this car. It's not that great on roads, and they never drive it off road. And it's pretty overpriced for what it is.
+Danny Zabolotny I know its so dumb.
This is my dream car & im black, lol
+Arianna Marlin Rojas I hope you get to own one someday
+Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson aw... Hahaha, thank u :')☺️
V6 features vs. I6 (complete list):
1. Cheaper
2.
2. Compact
3. Chrysler's only 6 cylinder modern engine so they just put it in everything.

Cross off #3. 2007-2011 JKs had that 3.8 Minivan engine from the early 90s. If you think for a minute it's as contemporary as it can be relative to the venerable 4.0 I6
@@engineer_alv oh, yes, true
Hate to be that guy, but a straight six is actually a perfectly balanced engine, where a V6 is not in secondary balance I believe. Manufacturers like V6 for cost reasons. 90* v6 are made with v8 tooling, which saves significant amounts of money, while better balanced 60* v6 are easier to use across model lines, and fit into just about anything. Straight 6s only really work in rwd applications due to their length
I hate to be that guy but you're right. Straight 6s are indeed smoother than V6s. They're inherently balanced, V6s aren't. Only modern transversely mounted Inline 6 FWD car is the S80, of one which I own myself.
i was watching and the excact same comment was cooking in my mind :-)
Fraser Davidson My mistake.
Rene Hourian
Fixed in annotations. Bob Dole. Bob Dole. Bob Dole.
Don't hate being that guy. When you're right, you're right.
always wonder if the owners of these cars watch the video after filming and get offended
I would think that if you agree to do these you've seen this guys videos and accepted that puns and similes will be dropped every other sentence...
I wasn’t offended after seeing my car because I know my Ford Ranger is a piece of shit
Nice album
@@jamesrobichaud999 what was he like in person?
All I could think of the whole time, was this guys father opening up IE on his computer, searching for this video in yahoo, watching it and being very confused as to why his son wanted these two to review his jeep.
The Baby Boomer rant had me rolling. So well done.
He rips on Baby Boomers in half his videos. The best was his most recent Mustang Ecoboost video, he basically said it was a good car but tried too hard to be something it wasn't in order to appease Boomers. He even referred to it's Mustang emblem, numerous times, as "My Little Boomer."
That baby boomer rant is highly relevant today lol
This is my new favorite song about cockrings. My old favorite was Let it Go from Frozen, which is clearly about cockrings.
Stephen de Riel
Cockrings =/= cock piercings Totally different things.
Leslie48 close enough
Stephen de Riel
Cock piercing = body piercing in the cock region.
Cockring = circle of metal or rubber that doesn't pierce anything, just sits around the base of that throbbing meat-sword so that blood goes in but it doesn't come out, not until it's purple and angry and frightens the hookers on 11th street and you gotta go to Emergency to get it off before they have to amputate.
I thought "That's Amore" was about cockrings, or was it Rush's "Hemispheres?" (Cygnus X-1: Book II)
*****
Because COCK! That's why.
Most one liners ever. Finally, the iconic American car gets its due. This is America's 911. Its DS. This is the only vehicle you can rent on the island of Vieques, and it's an experience I look forward to each June. Thank you, Regular Cars.
***** Think he meant porsche 911
Am I the only one who saw that cyclist blow that stop sign? With a car even pulling up to the crossing stop sign? That's dangerous. Cyclist have to obey the same road rules as cars. If you're a cyclist and you're running stop signs like that guy, that is how you die.
I was looking to see if anyone else noticed this. Glad I wasn't the only one.
Koshunae I visit Chicago like twice a month and the law treats cyclists like they do pedestrians, if a motorist hits a pedestrian or cyclist the motorist is at fault, even if the motorist has the right of way. Its weird.
What if I drive my Vespa on the sidewalk to skip red lights?
Koshunae Welcome to Chicago. Drive here for like 5 minutes and you'll just start assuming that every cyclist will ignore every stop sign. Doesn't make it any less aggravating, but at least you can predict it and react accordingly.
+Koshunae What, you've never jaywalked before?
Actually Straight Sixes are much smoother than V sixes because they have both primary and secondary forces balanced. In fact, V6s are so inherintly imbalanced that they didn't even appear often until recently because they vibrated too much. That's why Mercedes, Nissan etc. used I6s until recently - when technology that could more practically keep the vibration down in V6 engines.
Holy Crap you better tell that story soon!!! This was one of the best RCR ever, so many one liners, and Roman was on top of his game!
Please, please do
yo, RegularCars ! are we ever going to hear that story? 5:51
Ikr!!!
STILL WAITING FOR THE STORY!
Yep. Still waiting.
I think we will have to tweet him haha
I agree please tell this
My brother knows the guy who owns the car AND I ACTUALLY BRAG ABOUT THAT
Karl Marx BC it was reviewed
@@poemedufeu still a cool car lol
"Always grinning like I'm listening to Ween."
Is that what it says? If so, best channel ever.
I think you should keep walking with Danny..

YOU KEEP WALKEN WIFF DANNY
MarmaladeJacket It's not often I LMAO, but when I do, it's because of MarmaladeJacket ;-). Thanks!
"All your jeeps are belong to us" genius.
what is the original song?
tyler martin The reference is to an old video game gaffe. The Chinglish translation was hilarious at the time.
I really want to know that story about finger headlamps and camping.
Like a dipstick!!!! Honestly dying right now lmfao
A V6 is not inherently smoother than an inline 6. Inline 6 has natural primary and secondary balance. It is one of the smoothest engine configurations you can get. V6 engines need all kinds of firing order or split-pin trickery to run smooth. I know individual inline 6 engines might run less smooth than an individual V6 but in general it's not the case.
V6 is NOT smoother than a straight 6.
generally speaking they are because of opposed forces and firing orders. but often more development goes into i6's to make them smooth.
My bad. Yes, you're right. Fixed in annotations. Bob Dole. Bob Dole
Daniel Yorke-johnson Its the other engines that require more dev, such as balance shafts; little additional effort is put into smoothing an L6, that isn't a given for smoothing any reciprocating engine, such as reducing moving masses, stiffening the short block, and harmonically balancing the crank. Other engine configurations require the use of balance shafts and counterweights to lessen their first order vibration (a pulse per revolution) and second order vibrations (a pulse every second revolution, such as the power stroke in a one cylinder engine).
***** What about a boxer
I was sitting in a very quiet break room and when you likened your "situation" to a dipstick needing checked I broke out laughing to the weird looks of co-workers. Thank you, Mr Regular.
This is really one of the best ones! but then again all your videos ARE IN SO DEEP!
Mr. Regular! It's been 6 years, tell us the story about the girl from the wedding with the headlamp skirt.
Jeep Wrangler JUST KIDDING!
pre much haha
because it's not a jeep lol
"And you live on a diet of Greek Yogurt and cancelled plans"
Died
Glad to see you guys arent taking your medication! I love when you do reviews like this. keep it up Reg.
Haha, my girlfriend just walked in during your intro song, listened for a couple seconds, looked at me and walked out. 🤣Love this show!
when you go weddings in college... *YOU BANG!*
That last Wrangler rap was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jairan78 Hell yea it was !
The Adventure Time song was a pleasant surprise. The rap was a game-changer.
link to the pod cast story plz ;D
+ThePoolboy789 PLS RCR WE NEED THE PODCAST
5:00 that's probably the most offroading that Jeep has ever done. Sigh :(
The TJ also has a 5 link front and rear suspension. The frame is also fully boxed. Also the reason they did away with the 4.0 was it would not pass the more strict smog laws and gets bad fuel mileage. Oh and you missed a well know JK joke. The JK is a real Jeep, Just Kidding.
Tj has 4-link, 5 link is used on sand buggies and shit
No it's five if you include the pan hard bar.
Normally people just say 4 link with a panhard, But you could put it that way
I agree but that is how he said it in the video so that is how I said it.I guess I should have specified in my original comment.
Random Person Didn't YJ's also have a boxed frame?
Keep up the awesome vids. A great, and witty way to start off Monday's. It is quite funny that most of your jokes and analogies have a lot of truth to them. Much appreciated... Blurp :)
That Adventure Time at the end. Another great review guys, keep up the good work!
Oh we DEFINITELY more rap from the Roman!!
Should review the 2012 and up. Preferably the 2014. Way better engine. And interior. And go for a Rubicon model or sahara
I have a 2011 Sahara, my dad just got a 2014 Rubi X, Night and day with the power train.
Megas9900 I have a 2012, so much better than that old boot anchor, you should look at some of the ls conversions, and the 6.4 hemis. There are some people that actually take the ls conversions to the strip and blow the doors off srt8 vehicles. There is a video online of hemi jk vs a srt8 jeep first gen and the jk wins by a long shot. Not to mention the huge after market these things have, haha,
Duh, the 3.8 dates back to the early 90's... or late 80's? All I know is, it was in the K PLATFORM CARAVAN for crying out loud.
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T BRRRRHUGH MARSHALL TUCKER BAND
Hey, hey broth you guys need to do a Saab Sonett!!
Damn right Amesie!
He'll have to find one that runs. You could offer him yours? Some didn't run NEW.
Mike Cronis Massachusetts ain't that far from PA. Mr. Regular, what do you say? :D
Hi there fellow MA resident Lol.
This is your best RCR so far! Haha Great job dude
Straight6>V6
All day
Actually the V6 Jeep predates the I-6. In the late 1960s (before AMC purchased Jeep) Jeep used Buick V6s as an alternative to 4 cyl engines to get more power. They purchased them instead of purchasing I6s because lengthening the hood is not necessary to go from a 4 to a V6 (it would be for the I6). Once AMC purchased Jeep it switched to AMC I6s because that it what was available and had to lengthen the hood to fit them, the first step to poser-hood for the Jeep. This happened again in the 80s with the Cherokee which originally had a 4 and a V6, but they instead moved the firewall back to fit the I6.
This was a particularly exceptional RCR. Nice job Mr. Wordsmith.
This was the first car I drove, learned to drive a manual in, and the first car I fixed or modded at all. My dad owned one and he got a bumper and we put it on with new LED lights. I think I will always have fond memories of that bright red jk
Damn, I love the rap outro song. Keep it up guys.
fuck yess the adventure time ending!!!
Kinda made me wish he did covers of other AT songs. That would be sick.
That rap was awesome haha! You need to do more of these!!!!
Wow this review was definitely one of your best! And not bad with the rap at the end i must say!
There's AMC mentions in a lot of these. Wouldn't mind seeing an AMC SC-Rambler (aka Scrambler) or a Gremlin-X V8, or even an AMC Eagle.
the song at the end was so funky
In the early 60s my ex-MP, oil refinery millwright, deer hunter old man tooled us around in his wide open Willy's Jeep. Of course, no seat-belts. He also never locked up his many guns, either.
The straight six that was in the old Jeep was a brilliant device...based on a Nash design from 1942 - nearly indestructible.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with watching ESPN in the gym in order to keep up with the Broncos as they figure out their QB situation.
Tell the story! TELL THE STORY!! Make a soundcloud or something!
HAHAHAHA the roman went hard xD
Great episode, again ... thx guys !!!
Jeeps had a V6 option from '66-'71. Buick had designed and produced a V6 in the early '60s but sales were slow so they sold the V6 engine tooling to Jeep. GM bought the tooling back from AMC in 1974 when they needed to downsize their engines due to the gas crisis. By then AMC had enough straight-6 production to put their own I6 engines into Jeeps as the upsized engine option so they were happy to sell it back.
This guy was ahead of his time with the boomer comments lol
Lake shore drive!!!!!
+My World 101 a good drive
+RegularCars Unless someone crashes then its like hell on earth trying to drive by there...... but yeah a good drive non the less.
Where is this?
I too am familiar with Chicago
i was just on lakeshore drive heading to the dan ryan
Finally, a Geo Tracker reference!
This was brilliant!
Adventure Time theme! Got me subscribed. Awesome reviews by the way.
7:37 is that the Conquest/Starion from one of the other episodes?
Haha. DEFINITELY do a podcast with stories like the red-light-headlamp girl in it.
You really should write a book collecting your thoughts and experiences about all these cars.
Your videos sound the way a good novel reads, not to mention how accurate your evaluations are.
Love the Adventure Time theme song at the end. =D
Roman has been killing it lately.
baby boomers are why i am studying to be a funeral director.
peter pflum did ya do it!?
I'm fine with people who hate jeeps, they aren't for everyone, and your jokes are always funny, even if they're at my expense! What I don't get is why you'd say a TJ is more of a jeep than a JK? I always hear this and really don't get it. Stock for stock, a JK is a much more capable off-roader than a TJ. Its not really even debatable given ground clearance and approach-departure angles. It's still a live axle front and rear. So they ditched the leaf springs, big deal.
The JK is different from older jeeps because they are more domesticated and are owned by people who don't off-road, but carry children in them like its a mini van. They tried to appeal to more people with different options. But in reality, a jeep was built for being tough, durable, and going anywhere, anytime. Not trying to appeal to soccer moms who need more room, or parents who need more safety. I think that I how the JK is different from real and better jeeps before 2007
+Nate Gaudiello You can't blame the vehicle for what someone decides to do with it. It sounds like you dislike a soccer mom who drives the jk, not the jk itself. Don't confuse the two. I have a JK that I do offroad and guarantee a stock TJ X would have trouble following me. JK has More clearance, bigger wheels, better angles, and BLD traction control. Apparently "real" jeeps can't benefit from those things? Nothing against TJs. I love them. But they are less capable. It's a fact.
+Nate Gaudiello oh and I'd take the i6 over the v6 any day for the record. The drivetrain in the 07-11 wrangler sucked. I won't argue that.
A jeep JK isnt a true Jeep. A true Jeep is Amc/Mopar. There is nothing about JK's that are true Mopar. And they got rid of Amc completely. A JK is just what Fiat spit out because they wanted to make a new Jeep. But they clearly fucked up
Cause the JK has too many features that make it appeal to old people and soccer moms
We own a 2007 Wrangler Unlimited but it's one of the very few produced that is a 2-wheel drive. They supposedly only made like 12 of them according to a salesman at our local jeep dealer. Can't imagine why they made any at all to be honest, a jeep w/o 4-wheel drive is like a man without his junk! But the wife fell in love at first sight so we bought it. It's been so reliable, better than any other vehicle I can remember owning. Jeeps are just awesome all around.
"Oh yeah, do those fractions!" ... Is it bad that the voice instantly made me think of Dr. Mrs. The Monarch?
PLEASE DO A PODCAST
Holy fuck, a Mini Countryman ad came up on the bottom of the screen as soon as it was mentioned in the beginning. DARUDE HALFSTORM 3 CONFIRMED.
Just discovered your channel (what rock have I been under?).
The reason they went to the v6 was twofold. As mentioned the TJ was the last to have the AMC engine but also there was no way they would meet the more strict emissions requirements with the I6
I loved your Adventure Time song!!! haha I wish I was back in PA so you could do my Fiesta ST!
5:00 typical bicyclist
@The Sun Is Fun dont forget paying none of the taxes none of the insurance and follows none of the rules
@The Sun Is Fun boy did that hit home
I'm a cyclist and I love hearing overweight drivers cry about us breaking the law that harms no one
Chicago!! I live just outside of Chicago!!
Yo me too! NW indiana!
PotPotatoe :D
If I was to guess, they used the 3.8 (Which I think they cribbed from the Caravan) because the old AMC based inline 6 probably couldn't meet emissions. The designers knew the Pentastar V6 was only a couple years away and they needed an engine to fill the gap till then.
You need another correction: Chrysler didn't "derive" the 4.0L from the 4.2L AMC. The 4.0L is a 100% AMC designed motor. It was already done when the Chrysler bought AMC.
Hence, my TJ is allowed into AMC only events. And yes, it's been on the race track at those events.
Some people are taking this wayyyyy too seriously. Its a fun video, and he messed up the V6 thing, but corrected it in the description. And the baby boomer shit was funny.
Welcome to Jeep fanaticism.
And the baby boomer argument was spit on. I had never thought of that in over 5 years of driving JKs. It's so taken for granted, we don't analyze it.
oh god please do a podcast
Funniest one in a while! I don't know why I didn't watch it Monday!
I'm happy I saved it for the weekend haha
"..we must discuss, our thoughts are thus. "
i mean, thats'fvcking legit poetry. Im so stoked to come to my final decision, been juggling back * forth for years between 04 Disco II, LR3-4, FJ Cruiser, H2 or JKU...so many pros vs cons, but ultimately, at this stage, on this budget..can't beat a 4 door droptop 4x4.
All your jeeps are belong to us, nice video game meme Mr. Roman.
Your name makes this comment so much better
Holy shit, a New Trier sticker? That explains a lot.
LOL your music at the end, well done.
That intro song, really well done!
where can I find this story...
Victor Giannella Has it been found yet? Mr. Regular! Tell us!!!!
I miss the old I6 engine.
I love the rap song at the end. XD Did not expect that.
Great video as per usual
That cyclist just ran the four way.. 5:01 SHARE THE ROAD!
Of course it has a new trier bumper sticker
One of your best, guys.
To the Roman,
I still use the line "you're like my appendix, I don't know what you but I want to take you out," with women I have been acquainted with. I'm glad you have been getting more time with the musical bookends.
To Mr. Regular
I want to hear the story!!!! Also you need to be a part of Jalopnik's editors if not authors.
Tell us that full story!!
Is there a such a thing as a straight-six enthusiast? Because I'm definitely am one.
Bimmer and AMC made a hellva straight 6. A dying breed...
That low revving reverse flow Slant Six was perfect for off-roading. AND CHRYSLER KILLED IT OFF
Do I need to pull it out and check it like a dipstick? That line. That line. Fantastic.
DO THAT PODCAST
FALSEEEEE THE I6 is always smoother because it always has a counterpart that moves opposite at the same time v6's are like two I3s and those need tons of balance shafts so no the v6 is not smoother.
Love that Adventure Time RCR remix lol
Thanks Roman!
I have a suzuki sidekick and I guffawed at that part cause I really REALLY didn't expect it. Love it.
