Yo, those street are my old stomping grounds from my younger years in NY, that ramp he was taking, that he takes all the cars he test drive on is one of my favorites up there. Good to see a proper review on some streets that has some crappy section that gives you an impression of how it does on bad roads.

I tell ya as a non-car guy I grow tired of always having to compare innocuous exterior design features to other cars. I'm not saying that comparisons are unwarranted, but some of this stuff is just stupid. It's like Apple suing Samsung over "rounded rectangle" form. I liked the review though.

I have to agree this review is a breath of fresh air as it touches on some critical areas of car ownership experience where most reviews often left out. This will give audiences a fair and consistent testament on the build of the car. I truly applaud reviewers using the same measuring equipment and road for consistent review which are often lacking and inconsistent in some other reviews. Another reviewer or POV test I adore will be AutoTopNL.

Like most he went in expecting the KIA of old and ended up realizing the car is on par with the big German brands. It certainly is great to see how well the car handled the crappy roads of NY. I bought a used Impulse in Indiana and it was a beautiful drive from there until I crossed the GW bridge back in to NY. That’s when I realized the shocks in the car needed to be replaced, the car banged and crashed over the crappy roads. Maryland has some crappy roads as well but I think so far in my experience, NY takes the cake.
