Thanks for this video! I've had my Jeep YJ w/manual since I bought it new in 92. I got so familiar with that vehicle I accidently learned how to shift without the clutch. Probably around the 7 year old mark the shifter could easily slip into neutral and since that Jeep was just a steel tub you felt every vibration, so it was easy to feel when you needed to shift. When I explained this to friends they thought I was full of BS so thanks again for the video.

BMWs are complete trash. Plastic engines and plastic interiors.

The most overrated useless technique.. Oh, isn't useless, it could be succesfully used to DESTROY FAST your clutch which is TORTURED by the procedure😂

Well, that's that then....I'm buyin it !🙂👍🏻

3:23 - Mazda put money into a nice presentation of the engine. As in, that beautiful alloy cam cover. Check a BMW: Under the plastic Shroud of Mystery is a cheesy plastic cam cover.

My dream car 😊

How old are you

Zach, u r not kidding!! I know, just bought one!!! That was what initially turned my head!! Turns out it has 40% more color saturation and refracts much more light!!!

Great suv! Love my TX. Everything you said was on point.

Review the Versa S , save the manuals.

I'm pretty sure every car generation thought new technological advancements like launch control were circus tricks. "Is that an automatic transmission? Humbug, that's a circus trick! I prefer to shift myself!" lmao.

NO THANK YOU, Toyota. I prefer my timing chains in the front of the engine, NOT the back!

My 2021 TRD OR does have a wireless charging pad. It’s awful, and I never use it. However, mine has one. Maybe the Canadian versions don’t have wireless charging.

No manual No care

Holy fk. If you want people to watch your whole video then chill out on the length of your items you’re selling good Lord… also im 6’7 and have insane headroom. Fail on that one

I’m waiting for the next design that doesn’t put an iPad on the dash

Great review, I wish Toyota would offer the hatchback with their 5th gen hybrid powertrain. Its unfortunate Toyota dropped the manual transmission.

just picked one up amazing video!!!

The XSE is on the shortlist for my kids.... along with the Mazda3 hatch, CX30, CH-R and HRV. I lean towards the XSE to compliment my GR Corolla 😂

It’s a good looking car. I just think the civic is better, because they did a complete redesign in 22.

Great video Brian! This Corolla is a hidden gem within the segment. It is Made in Japan…that itself people should be running to buy this Corolla.

For masses, Civic always trumps Corolla, I wonder if that has changed

Just has a car this hatch as a car rental. Very impressed. Loved the therapist comment lol

If only the 2024 XSE was available with a manual tranny.

Don’t see this model on BMW Canada’s website…is it available to order in Canada ?

Dude Dave has no clue what he should talk about ;-)

Who else noticed the Evanescence song on the infotainment? cool

After owning a 2020 M340 I opted to get an Audi S4. After someone rear ended that and it was thankfully totaled, I bought an S5. Love it. I did cross-shop the M440 since it’s basically an M340 like the S4 is an S5. The sportback accessibility is the nicest feature of both the M440 and S5.

Hello Brian. Another great review. The B58 inline turbo 6 is a jewel. One of the best BMW engines. For the value, the M440i grand coupe xdrive or the M304i xdrive is probably the way to go. They both offer practicality, performance and luxury. That is why I am now in the process of buying my M340i xdrive at the end of the lease. Brooklyn Grey and every variation of if by other manufacturers is the hot color. But for a more elegant color combination for the M440i xdrive grand coupe I suggest Tanzanite Blue Metallic with the oyster interior and red brake calipers.

Great review Brian. I love my 23 M440 with the I drive 7 equipped with the adaptive cruise control system. Fun car as a daily.

If he drove it 20 years ago he would have said it was very quick

Ice BMW reviews are getting more and more rare! I know that some don’t get the “4 door coupe” thing, but I do.

Reviewing a BMW M440i while listening to Down Rodeo is so tasty.

Answered ALL of my questions!!

I’ve been watching videos of the 2024 Supra manual transmission but I can’t find one to save my life!

The original R, MK4 R32 VR6 is by far the best!

DSG is superior to the manual so your entire review is invalid lmao.

I would never pick a manual Golf R over a DSG. The Golf R’s performance is severely handicapped with the manual transmission. The OEM clutch is very weak and the shifted feel is sloppy. VW makes mediocre manual transmissions but they make an excellent dual-clutch transmission. The DSG Golf R is much better if you plan to modify. It also makes the best use of the engine’s power band. I’m speaking as someone who has owned several manual transmission cars and now owns a DSG GTI. Blindly telling people to buy the manual Golf R just because it’s a manual, is dishonest journalism to me. I think this is a decent channel but I don’t care for the blind manual fanboyism this guy displays. It’s the primary reason I have not subscribed.

What a useless video. You just rambled about the RF roof and the fancy wheels and brakes over and over again. Nothing about actual winter driving.

Wish I could afford one, the auto transmission should be illegal.

I would guess a manual would make for a superior enthusiast Miata experience at a baseline. I daily my ND2 1 hour each way, with traffic. I thought the weekend juice might not be worth the weekday squeeze, so I went auto. I’ve had 3 sticks before. It’s fun. But reaching a point where touring comfort slightly outweighs working the gears joy…is also a nice place to be! In my view, if you can have any format of Miata, you’ve already won! 😅

How are the gear throws are they short or long, how's the notchy feel?

the difficulty to maintain this vehicle long term is what turned me away from it.

3500 pound Golf?

The Golf and Corolla are some of the last hatches that are still reasonably sized. The Civic and Integra have grown to ridiculous size. The Integra Type S is 15.5 feet long. Thats literally longer than the old Volvo 850 wagon.

When I was a junior in HS ('83), the clutch in my little '76 4-speed Plymouth (Mitsubishi) Arrow went out for the second time and I could not afford to replace it on my McDonald's checks and so I decided, out of necessity, to see if I could shift w/out it. Figured it out and for the next two years, I drove around in that car w/ no clutch. At stop lights, I'd turn the car off, put it in first, and turn the key. Ignition never did burn out. I still sometimes revert to that shifting out of habit. My technique is similar, although I never 'blip' on downshifting. I just apply light, steady pressure as I add RPM. Over time, this becomes very fast. If you know the car, you'll get w/in a few hundred RPM and then a slight adjustment will drop it in, w/out any change in performance. That technique in reverse is how you accelerate quickly, even w/ heavy torque, But, hey, WOW, my techniques do not allow for shifting into overdrive (not a problem in a '76 Arrow). I just tried your approach on a 6-speed, aaannnddd ... game changer. I could only move around in 1 - 4. Fun. Thanks.

Wonder if you could comment on road noise, there’s lots of “ hum” coming through as it seems .

I'm not much of an expert in this topic, but can someone explain to me why the gear ratios are so different between manual and auto versions? Or Rather how are they different, how would a car-unsavy person even tell the difference.

I have one, and its amazing, you wanted to know the aero at 177mph , took mine there last week, well 170mph or 275kmh and its fine, not much wind noise. and very solid, Porsche 911 turbo s that I drove to 310kmh is really not much better, both have the wow factor.

Awesome Street Muscle Brian! I bought a Chally 392 in Hellraisin' with the ZF 8 speed a few years ago. Smiles for mile man... I got it pretty stripped down, baseline interior, no sunroof, but did get the Dynamics Package and Nav.
