  1. Baaaahahahah – Sheep. This is COVID-1984

  2. While it’s encouraging to hear positive things about the new Sentra, so long as they continue to come standard with Nissan’s infamous CVT, they’re not even worth considering imo.

  3. The Sentra will sell to those buyers who are turned off by crossovers. Given that the domestic big 3 have abandoned the small (and large) sedan market, the import brands are moving in. Perhaps Ford will give us the Puma or Focus again.

  4. GAT A TAVLAT .AND YOU GAT SAMTIN GOIN FOR THE 🌎

  5. That horrible Nissan CVT would make me not even consider buying that Sentra

  6. I love the new Sentra. Imo, it’s the best looking car in the segment right now. But it’s much better if they have VC turbo as option.

  7. I personally don’t feel that the Grand Cherokee should be recommended, because it did so poorly in the IIHS small overlap tests. Same with the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300.

  8. Thanks for taking my question and for your response, I think I’ll stick to my tried and true all season tires after all.

  9. Regarding the write in question … It sounds like the small car owner, wishes for the increased performance Summer Tires gives. If that is the case, one thing that really improved the handling sensation of my car was to also add a rear stabilizer bar. I think it would put the Summer’s to better use.

  10. 12:48 whoops that’s the regular Cherokee

  11. I put performance tires on my manual Honda Fit…. The difference was incredible!! Loved ripping it through corners on those!

  12. Great to see Jake reminding Ryan what it means to be young.
    It’s not what you need it’s what you need to have fun.

  13. Never thought I’d hear Ryan use the word “awesome” about a Sentra. I went to a Nissan dealer recently and asked to see the new Sentra. Salesman rolled up and started telling me all about it. I let him drone on for a few minutes until I informed him that the car was a new VERSA, not a Sentra. LOL. He was a newbie salesman, but …….

  14. That Grand Cherokee pic is actually of a Cherokee !

  15. Nissan filled for bankruptcy last week !
