As someone from the UK, Subaru is generally super reliable. The main issue is that there are fewer Subaru garages about and the parts are harder to come by when something does go wrong. It's generally just more convenient to get a Toyota, for more proximity to garages and more parts about because Toyotas are just more abundant
To James May these guys are “car modifiers,” but anyone watching this video knows this is a eulogy to this channel’s former “car modifying” greatness. This video is like a clip show of their greatest hits. It’s the album a band puts out when they run out of fresh material.
fantastically said. but all the songs are remastered and they got someone originally from the band after they all disbanded and it sounds even better then they go without anything else for like years
I love that James May, formerly captain slow and mister sensible is now the most engaged with so many in the younger UA-cam car community. When he roasts UA-camrs' cars, you can tell he legitimately knows who each of them is and often has seen the car in question before the segment
he's always been engaged with the younger community. he did a show called something like "james mays toy stories" where he would basically enlist a bunch of kids to do record breaking stuff with toys such as model trains, scalextrix etc. used to froth over it as a kid, definitely worth watching!
Those two Hawkeyes at 10:15 are beautiful, easily their best looking cars they showed today! So glad May actual said Subaru engines are known for being reliable. They're right, kids here push it for big HP numbers but that's not what they're designed for, they're designed for amazing handling on all road conditions.
@@cirrustate8674 Could you imagine him bouncing around a picked up hottie, in the Miata, but hitting all the wrong buttons, whilst trying to impress her, lol !!
11:18 I’m glad James fuckin called it out and donut acknowledged the validity and the flaw in the current car culture. 99% of the time it’s the owners not the car
99% of cars below 60k can be improved. manufacturers gotta appeal to the majority and also make a profit, so cars naturally come out gimped. like my forte gt was pretty bad to start but modding it has made it actually feel a little bit sporty. most cars handle modifications fine, boxers are just weirdly fragile.
@@cosmic7234 can't really blame the boxer as much as continually putting the new engines in without cleaning/replacing every single part that oil runs through, sending old metal through the new one and losing it too. They finally learned from that and a few other mistakes, after they made Subaru look like an absolute nightmare in the car community. The work has to be done and it has to be done right, or it won't tolerate it. 30k miles a year in my modified 2011 for several years now.
This is really cool. I just watched the last episode of The Grand Tour a couple of weeks ago. I will definitely miss original Top Gear and the Grand Tour a lot.
Thank you James May for coming in and doing this video. Everyone knows you are on the Mt. Rushmore of Car Show hosts. Its always fun to see you on other platforms Lastly, Im not a gin guy, but the word is that your gin is top notch. Congrats!!
I had to think about their Grand Tour Namibia special with the beach buggies. Hammond had a survival kind of buggy, Clarkson one with a shiny paint job and V8, while May has kept his buggy as clean and standard as it gets. Clarkson even made fun of him, saying if these buggies were paintings, his canvas would be left plain white
I'm 43 now, been watching the Trio since I was 22, 23 years old. Jesus, time flies. For those who didn't know, we had to get torrents off of Final Drive because it wasn't shown in the states. It would be around 8pm et when it was uploaded on Sundays.
Props to James for not sugar coating it, and props to Donut for letting this video happen. This is a man who enjoys cars looking at a lot of ruined cars.
Holy shit its James May! I just finished their final Grand Tour episode, and I already miss the trio. He was also on Leno's garage recently so lets see where else he pops up.
I absolutely adore this man. The three of them have brought so much joy to my life. So glad Captain Slow made his way to Donut. 🍩 great episode. Great content.
It's really funny watching the Donut crew try to brag about how much horsepower their car has even though James clearly doesn't care seeing as they don't run 😂
The best thing about this ? James is right imo 100% of the time and at the same time entertaining, snarky, sarcastic and funny. Without trying ANY of those😂 he's there to promote James Gin without the stupid apostrophe!
James just pointed out every project cars owners biggest flaw. How many are finished (in the sense that you can just hop in drive off and have a great time). Rather than just leave a ton of small issues and jump into the next project. Also the reason I quite like the money pit miata, it is running just a bit of boostcreep which is just changing the blowoff valve to a larger one. But it has few issues and is actually enjoyable.
James saying there should be a book of how Donut does cars wrong, halfway through their fleet, is pretty much what the entire community has said since Hi-Low. Thank god its mostly entertaining cause at the end of a builds its like seeing the cars go through several botched surgeries, the suffering is over. James just says it wayyyy nicer than Clarkson and Hammond ever would
Ooof. That is sorta it, ain't it? Donut's cars are like repeat plastic surgery patients. A single procedure, and still look good, multiple procedures and just... eh.
James May cars of the People 1 and 2 is very worth a watch for every petrol head who wants to learn the history of the everyday cars you see on the road from the Fiat 500 to the BMW 3 series and everything in between including the downfall of Detroit and the British automotive industry.

Yes James, the standard Z33 is extremely reliable. DE coupe (06) from '13 to '20, HR roadster (07) since '21. Ne. Ver. Bro. Ken.
Oh my god. Top gear got me into donut. This is the crossover I never could have hoped for
Yes, even James May said it, get the Chrysler Imperial running!
Poor Henry, he left us too soon. He's the Mac Miller of cutting through wiring harnesses
I don’t know maybe they could get someone to fix that harness?
There is a UA-camr Sara-N-Tuned she could fix that harness. I wouldn’t say easily but she could do it. She currently is working on a Gen 1 Celica. She is putting a Toyota V8 in it. She has wired it all herself.
you can tell he genuinely resents all of these
Except for the lowrider miata lol
