Great channel Ethan. Love your honestly and class, a genuinely decent bloke it's really nice to see how well you've done for yourself and still humble, really hope I can replicate your success!! Enjoy it my friend 😄
Great channel Ethan! I have a request…! Could you please do a review of a Nissan 370Z please? We would like to know what your thoughts are about it!!! 😊👌
Honest and forthright. This channel is an antidote to the glitzy, shouty work of some of the better-known motoring channels. The retort to buying Japanese had me chuckling as I've had to return a vehicle with only a few hundred miles on the clock years ago for similar reasons. Kudos.
Japanese cars are for the majority of people and their main goal is to drive you from A to B and last for ever. I had two Japanese cars, among others (Honda CRV and Toyota Yaris). Even the Honda CRV was somewhat cheap. But my parents had a Mazda 323 which they drove for 1 million kilometers within 12 years; literally all over Greece. Now I own a Hyundai i20 2021, and although it's just an everyday car it looks and feels great (for its money of course).
ferrari = fiat, wolksvagen = porsche, lamborghini = audi.... Swedish Koeniggsegg = Koeniggsegg,, therefore the rich buys that car. Hope they go total electric soon. I for my self have just the luck to go around in a quite new Tesla model 3. The dream car propbably a new porsche taycan turbo S ( its all electric so they shoud stop using the word turbo).
Lexus are absolutely terrible but i do think many Japanese cars have merrit. However you do not strike me as a Toyota driver mye good man. Again, try the Alfa ;) Nice sheep Patek by the way...
You drive great cars. Personally speaking, owning a Japanese car appears to be less stressful. One minor issue covered under warranty during 70,000 miles of driving. Boring to some, quality to others.
Also, some of us have no choice but to focus on this kind of quality. Yes the cars look and feel cheap but they last. I am passionate about cars but I can't pay for European maintenance and I also need my car every day. And at the point we're in, there are almost no reliable everyman's cars in existence anymore that are European.
You are probably one of the few honest youtubers. I enjoy your honesty as its similar to how I am. Luckily after initial irritation, my old woman realises I am not malicious but won't buckle in order to fit in. No way you can be effectively banned and you showed how you can ride roughshod over an attempted ban. Keep up the whingeing:) I love it!
If I was banned from Ferrari, like that was any realistically possible, i would ask them to made a banner big enough for Google maps to have it featured in street view.
Hello Ethan I've only just discovered you. I like the way you talk, not afraid to speak your mind or upset GIANT car dealers. I would challenge your statement about all Japanese cars being ugly. The Lexus LFA, RX500 and the new shape Rav4, which i own, i guess its all about opinions
Very well said Eathan. You like cars so you wouldn’t drive a Japanese car. These cars are for someone who needs just a reliable transport. It is going to be ridiculous to see someone who says “I am fond of great foods so I eat MacDonald and instant noodles”. :)
As a fan of Japanese reliability and long time Mazda driver, I'd rather walk than buy a Ferrari or Aston. But I love the channel anyway, your stories are interesting to listen :)
LEXUS are not cheap, not ugly and not copies. If japanese cars are "cheap" it is because they cover a wide spectrum of customers. You can say the same for Italian cars. Generalizing is not good.
As always, interesting comments Ethan! A breath of fresh air. The car community are so PC is sickening. I think the problem is, a lot of car owners we see online aren't as rich as they say they are and have no idea how the world works (in terms of economics). As such, they feel themselves less empowered to call the shots to car manufacturers who invest millions, billions sometimes, in their latest product. So these 'journalists' don't dare get on the manufacturers bad side. At the moment there isn't a more painful example of this sycophancy than the green nonsense they're pushing. Anyway, glad to see you're on the mend. Hope you're even better by now.
😀Brilliant. Drive what makes you happy. However, we are all victims of the placebo of luxury especially with cars. Take leather for instance, we throw a fit over leather yet no one ever interacts with it. Unless you drive naked, no one sits on leather. The experience you have is of the clothes you're wearing against your skin and the cushy material that fills the seat.
I only buy LEXUS… I own an LC 500 and it’s not only gorgeous inside out, the engine is sublime… owning European cars for over 5 years, you will walk one day when it dies on you.
I must warn you that you shouldn't visit Italy because Italians might arrest you for the video about Ferrari so that Ferrari can sue you in Italy. Something similar happened to my neighbor.
Love your videos Ethan! Hope your leg heals quick. Regarding your opinions on cars; I love to hear them! Even if I myself would not agree (not a fan of Porches), I absolutely love your reviews and opinions. I think you are the first person I heard say 'negative' things about Japanese cars. If you feel there is content to be made about it, I would love to hear more on Japanese cars, American cars, British/European cars. What's your feeling on Muscle cars for example. Not asking this with the expectation of a specific answer. I am looking forward to hearing your honest, uncensored opinions on all of them. :D It's such a breath of fresh air in a world where everything is "Amazing", "Awesome", "Best thing ever", and "So cute". lol.
@@EthanFromLondon but keep making because you feel the need and not because you get the question because the energy from the second option will be completely different from that of the first option.
I had same opinion about japanese cars before travelling to Japan. In their local landscapes all these Honda`s and Mazda`s suddenly look well. Still not a very big fan, but became less snobby ;) bottom line - consider travelling to Japan for some new experience, not just that old-Europe cars and stuff)
Strange advice that I need to travel to a different country in order to change me taste built over 40 years ..... I like what I like and I don't want to change it. I am happy for other people to like Japanese cars, they are just not for me.
I've driven many of today's sports/supercars and I have to tell you that my favorite is the Audi R8. Other good ones are the Merc AMG GT-R or GT-S and the Porsche 911 Turbo. I wouldn't buy a Ferrari on a bet.
Why don't you buy a Lotus Emira? Bulletproof drive-train, Italian inspired designed, limited production that guarantees exclusivity and lower depreciation all from a legendary car company, Lotus.
Also Even though Maserati doesn’t hold its value there, a certain models that have an outstanding driving experience is not the most technical car in the world, but it is one great driving experience they have different models may not be what you spend on a Ferrari but I think if you tried or maybe you have the newer models and one model in particular is the 2014 and 2015 four-door Maserati Quattro porte GTS the original Ferrari motor that was built for it handmade it’s a great drive. It’s a nice car and they have a new one called a trafero 4 for or try the new two doors
I can't offer you a lift then Ethan as I'm driving my 7th Honda crv Auto petrol since they came out in the U.K. in 1997. Love the straight talk I'm sick to death of woke and endless bullshit . Tony U.K. Poole
I love my 2022 civic si. Its really fun to drive. But that said. I also own a classic w124 300e that i drive alot more. I just love the way a classic benz drives. Best of both worlds to me.
When u have money u can dictate what want to buy. Because you like top end products don’t change anything about what you want. As the biblical word says be true to yourself. Keep it real as you do.
Nearly the entire Porsche GT market is an inside "club" deal, fed by "connected" buyers who hardly ever drive these cars. It's a shame because they are a joy to pilot. My Porsche isn't a GT model but it's a nicely trimmed C4S that has 20k miles, drive it daily in all types of weather. It's sitting in the garage needing a wash (when I get 'round to it). They are meant to be driven. I agree with your take on the styling of many Japanese cars, the Lexus "spindle" grille is horrendous (BMW is getting into this act with their grilles) and the creases and folds on some models look like Origami, could explain their appeal in the home market(?). To their defense, Japanese cars are mostly reliable and long lasting and Korean cars have come a long way. Hope you're not too uncomfortable and quickly on the mend.
You stated it very clear, very to the point and ripped from all emotions concerning the 'banning'. The major difference in design between asian and european cars is that asian cars almost never age beautiful. They all look dated and ugly after several generations while european cars often become real gems overtime. The BMW E30 serie is still, after 30 years, a very good looking car. European oldtimers like the first editions of the Mercedes SL are design masterpieces. Such a car wil never look dated... And that one is not an exception but one of the so many.
Because you never used a Japanese car. You just watched it from outside. Before sharing your “true opinion”, make sure you own one and had personal experience with it.
Ethan, I really do enjoy your channel, but I hope you do see the irony talking down Japanese cars from a Ranger Rover product, probably one of the most unreliable brands ever.
100% agree 👍. It's all part of the brand messaging. They want the owners to believe that Ferrari is serious about it, but they won't say no if anyone wants to buy their car.
it's like talking againt idealogy in USSR or againt church in middle ages... i think you are scared in some way, because of "exclude" thing if i might say so...
I mean it's a Miata, you expect it to sound like a Phantom? It's already 2000lbs, it's going to need 500lbs of sound deadening material if you want to make it quiet lmao, by then it entirely defeats the purpose of lightweight sports car
This video was as as spicy as the Ferrari one 😂how could you say something so controversial yet so brave. I still have a soft spot for the 458 Speciale though.
Refreshing to see somebody speak their mind in public in a world where snowflakes and bots will cancel you because you hurt their itty bitty feelings!! 👍🏻🍻
Your comments on Japanese cars seems a little aloof. I have owned various German marques as well as a few Honda's. In my opinion Honda make some of the best engineered cars on the market today. I have the current FK8 Type R and it's an awesome hot hatch. Reliability wise Honda puts JLR to shame. Remember the cost differential when comparing a £40k Japanese against a car that costs double or treble.
This is just his bias, he doesn't like them, and he said some of the reasons. This is his channel, this isn't some "unbiased" "objective" review channel. He is just a human, with his taste, he has excellent "English" (they have higher standards of course, especially regarding the aesthetics) taste, and this is why we want to hear his opinion on things. Don't blame him for this, I also do have my own aesthetics standards, just like everybody else. Ah, what can you do, this is the real life for you, ;) , too bad there are no more channels like this, :) .
@@EthanFromLondon Ugly, cheap materials, whatever. The beauty is in the reliability and longevity. No car beat the American cars in style or the Italian in speed, but no car brands beat the care that the engineers and workers of the Japanese firm in making products that last for generations.
@@Account.for.Comment That's like saying McDonald's is as good as the French Laundry because its cheap and reliably tasty. They are not the same thing at all. People don't go on waiting lists for Honda Accords.
@@chris8535 what' s a French Laundry? People don' t go waiting for Honda Accord, but you see those cars on terrible roads, flooded streets, and dirty environments all over the planet even if they are over thirty years old and able to be fixed by illiterate people. How many items can you named withstand that amount of rigours? That is an engineering marvel. On the other hand, some sport and luxury cars are just money-makers for mechanics and lost 3/4 of their values in three years.
I would ban Ferrari... as for Japanese cars, I was the first to buy a Japanese car in my family, a Daihatsu, my sister asked me to sell it to my mother for 1500 euro when her Fiat died and my sister would sell me her 2 year old Ford for 3000... great bargain for both... but I spent far more than 3000 in repairing failures while Daihatsu never had any failure... my entire family sold their cars and now have only Toyota... I agree that besides the Toyota CHR they are all ugly and despite attentions needed for my engine (that I had converted into bifuel with GPL LPG costing 1/3 of petrol) I like the look of my car very much and do not miss the Daihatsu... yes, it's a matter of taste, not only reliability...
I think Daihatsu lost dealership here for years, but fond memories of the old Charade Turbo, and I think the Copen's look neat. Sort of a strange range of vehicles, but they seem to be returning with a wider amount, the Xenia can look well, if like that kind of thing :)
@@benwu7980 well they did create some "original"/neat designs and, if I remember well, they are Japan's oldest car company so they do have experience...
Eh I would say all cars have cheap feeling leather. They're over-processed, feel like plastic, and look like plastic. It doesn't matter if Nissan uses PU leather, Lexus uses top grain leather, or Rolls Royce uses full grain leather, they all feel the same because they all need to be over-processed to hell to protect against daily usage, heat/cold thresholds, constant UV exposure, impacts, scuffs, etc. You're throwing meat quality out the window if you're cooking it well-done anyway. In the end, all automotive leathers more or less feel the same.
Hey Ethan, never commented on your channel before but enjoy listening to you. I've got two Porsche's at present and unbelievably four on order including a 911 Turbo S. All backed up due to Covid and this fucked up world. However I have to say one of the best cars I ever owned was a 1993 Celica with pop up headlights. I miss that car more than any of the umpteen Porsches I've owned and believe you me I love my Porsche's. If you ever get chance try an old circa 1993 Celica it will blow your mind. Anyone out there reading this I'm looking for a mint Celica, never should have sold mine.
Love you guys!! These comments make it all worth the effort for these videos !!

It doesn't matter if Nissan uses PU leather, Lexus uses top grain leather, or Rolls Royce uses full grain leather, they all feel the same because they all need to be over-processed to hell to protect against daily usage, heat/cold thresholds, constant UV exposure, impacts, scuffs, etc. You're throwing meat quality out the window if you're cooking it well-done anyway. In the end, all automotive leathers more or less feel the same.
That Korean thing is clearly copied from the Alfa Romeo SZ (ES-30).
Hey Ethan, never commented on your channel before but enjoy listening to you. I've got two Porsche's at present and unbelievably four on order including a 911 Turbo S. All backed up due to Covid and this fucked up world. However I have to say one of the best cars I ever owned was a 1993 Celica with pop up headlights. I miss that car more than any of the umpteen Porsches I've owned and believe you me I love my Porsche's. If you ever get chance try an old circa 1993 Celica it will blow your mind. Anyone out there reading this I'm looking for a mint Celica, never should have sold mine.
