12/10 would talk about cars with these dudes again
-
The Subaru blowing its engine up 2 laps in. Absolutely classic!
-
Thank you to the S209 owner for bringing out your car and subjecting it to this. We all really appreciate it
-
The Type-R is just an impressive machine. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Elantra N did so well. The engineers at Hyundai used to work for the performance arms of the German brands. It shouldn't surprise anyone either that the Golf R doesn't perform better because VW AG wouldn't want it taking away from the RS3 or even the S3, which puts VW in a tough position in this segment. I am surprised that the GR was unliked here after seeing so many other reviews so positive about it.
-
Love this. But it’s a shame Mazda isn’t building anything serious enough for a video like this.
-
Carlos is really good at this, he should consider doing it professionally
-
The only other car content that comes close to bringing me as much joy to what you guys put out is when I'm on the shitter reading my old SCC mags. I think an annual "Shit Box Shootout" is much more appealing than the other yearly comparison tests the big name publications have been putting out.
-
You guys rock and thank you for having Carlos and Brett along for this comparison. I genuinely enjoyed it!
-
Mark + Jack - kudos for this. Seeing you guys have genuine fun throughout this video as enthusiasts and knowing the immense effort that went into it warrants a great amount of respect. Thank you for sticking with it, even when it's been frustrating...some truly fantastic videos you guys have been producing lately.

I was always in admiration of the old school Ignition episodes with Carlos. A different era. This was like watching two of my heroes work together. Amazing.
-
'A $100k STi' sounds like an epic night in Vengas gone wrong.
-
The giggling during the Golf R driving portion was everything I love about this channel. Serious automotive content but still just a group of guys having fun.
-
The comfort level of Jack in front of the camera at this point vs where he was when he started (at this channel, not his college career) is impressive.
-
This is the best review channel on YouTube. I can't believe I get to watch this level of quality and authenticity for free. Watching Jack slide around the Golf R was priceless.
-
This is an amazing video! I have the Elantra N and I love this car! It’s crazy the N just came out 4 years ago and it’s almost the same as the type R for 10k cheaper.
-
I genuinely thought this was like a 20 minute video while i was watching it. I didn't find out it wasn't until the comment at the end.
-
Carlos' point about not rewarding manufacturers by selecting the tire for them prior to review is excellent. Never looked at the issue that way before, especially as it pertains to lightning lap.
-
This was EXCELLENT. I was shocked to see frequency response and THD metrics as an audio engineer. THANK YOU for all your work guys! Great to see Carlos as well, he is an OG in this realm.
-
This video was special. Thank you all!
-
The production level is seriously unmatched. What an underrated channel.
