What's a hated car that you love?
PS: anyone who wants to enter the Pontiac Aztek Nurburgring Challenge head over to r/DonutMedia!
ANY MINIVAN- I love my Toyota Sienna to haul my fam
1960 to 1969 NICE!
Citroens, specially the Hydraulic ones.
You like Fiestas and Focus's....thank the UK and Ford Europe. The pinto wasn't why we have the Escort, not even close. So ignorant.
Rx8 lol
Fun fact: Christian von Koenigsegg once had a Miata, and he love it. After that, he sells it for a reason I don't remember. But he trace back his original Miata and found it in a good condition. True car guy.
Did not know that!
I’d love to find my first one. About to make a vid on a 1200 one I bought
𝔸 𝕄𝕚𝕒𝕥𝕒?
Teddy Roosevelt also loved his miata.
Wow a multimillionaire (billionnaire?) whose his entire fortune and interests revolving around cars, likes cars enough to be a true car guy? My guts tell me Enzo Ferrari was a true car guy too.
"Who gets more offended than truck guys?" ~probly the realest thing that's ever been said on this show
I literally verbally agreed with him when he said that lmao
Hey man I’m sorry we are so protective of our trucks
In my opinion the only good car from Tesla is (or will hopefully be) the cybertruck. Yet I'm pretty sure it won't pass the pedestrian safety checks in Europe! Even original Smart4two wouldn't pass them! Also the Smart4two isn't hated in Germany...we love it. You can park two of them sideways.
Well Miata Guys get offended easly
For many, it was an ego purchase. Makes sense they're often the biggest jaggoffs on the road.
Compared to a lot of the crossovers of today, the Aztek is actually pretty tame looking. It was just ahead of its time.
I never understood the hate for the PT Cruiser, or the prius, The Aztek however while i do agree it looks good, i can understand why people hated it
It had lot going on with that front
Funny how the Buick Rendezvous never got the same hate when it was the same vehicle.
@@Mike-hu3pp Because the Buick looked regular
@@xXVibrantSnowXx the cruiser was a piece of shit. the prius will save you enough money in gas that it pays for itself
This man is so enthusiastic about cars and it's very entertaining.
You can definitely tell James has lost a good amount of weight in this video. Looking good man glad to see you healthier!
It cause of his heart attack
@@antonioguzman417 It's because he changed his habits since his heart attack. You don't lose weight by having a heart attack...
FunTimeWithSouls my bad that is what I meant
FunTimeWithSouls like ever since his heart attack he is taking better care of himself
Definitely*
"If there's one thing that can bring ford Chevy and dodge people together, it's that they hate the Honda Ridgeline"
It's true.
At work we give our boss shit on a regular basis because hes got one for a "Company" car.
@@Mr.Blue987 true
I get physically nauseated when I see the second gen. It makes me so violently angry Everytime I see one and idk why
I'm a Chevy guy who likes the Ridgeline. I have disproved your claim.
@@papajhonsreal gross
As a Australian that owns and regularly drives not only a Holden the most popular Holden model a hq I liked how he added Holden in and it's nice to see Americans have appreciation for other countries cars be cool if you guys did one on the history of Holden in Australia you might actually really like what you find
I'm an American and one of my favorite cars was killed off here only to find out you guys still make it under Holden. (THE GTO) I'd love to see a video about them! I think a lot of people would be interested. Pontiac was a great brand, it's a real shame they killed em off. To think of the cars they would be making today with all the big HP cars out there.
No argument here! I can’t agree with you more. It was a very nice car. It was stolen from our driveway and it was fast!
3 years later. Still waiting on that CyberTruck
It’s weird seeing James skinny but he looks gooood. James is hitting the home gym yelling Moooorree powah baby
Say it like an anthem (slowly)

After his heart attack he’s been doing very well to stay healthier.
"Nolan loves drinking milk a normal amount"

F- reality, my ignorance is bliss.
I like drinking milk
Lil' Legit we are happy for you
@@Fish-kz8xw I'm lactose intolerant. When I drink milk I become very intolerant.
@@Gonzo.S.Thompson Look for Fairlife, it's milk with zero lactose. I get the chocolate version even though I'm not lactose-intolerant because I love the taste.
I remember back in 2003 my parents were looking for a new car back home in Mexico. We went to our local Chevy dealership and I recall hopping in the back of an Aztec and thinking it was the most amazing thing ever. We bought a Chevy Astra, which was a rebadged Opel.
One thing i love about donut is it gives cars people never really loved a new light
SSR: **Does poorly**
Chevrolet: **ol' reliable - LS SWAP**
Георгій Колпак Gm really did that
Another vehicle that’s rare and holding value.
And transmission. Its first 2 years suffered by poor LS and transmission choice. The GTO had a similar treatment.
Puts Hummer H2 on the list..

Does anyone actually respect what Doug has to offer on cars? If so, I would like to inquire; just why?
"Everytime you see a new Supra, thank a Prius".
This quote hit me in the feels James.
Everytime you see a new Supra, thank a BMW
Dude I drove an Aztec all through college that thing was a beast. Great gas mileage, AWD, and just genuinely fun to drive. Never understood why it got so much hate.
it was so ugly. when all the manufacturers changed the styling in the early 2000s i was not into it
I refuse to believe Nolan doesn't drink a lot of milk. He's a growing boy and should drink as much as he needs.
He’s a big boy
It's rumored that when u sneeze while driving a Smart fortwo it will flip.
It's been tested that it takes 2 smart cars on top of it before it flips

Not if you fart at the same time to even out the thrust (with a little guidance).
An impressive feat considering how stupidly heavy they are.
They have a high driving position but a low center of gravity due to all the driveline components being placed low, between the wheels and the width being fairly wide. They were designed in Europe and they have some very strict emergency swerve tests they would have to have passed to be sold there.
My friends stepdad has a neon- he completely rebuilt the engine and put so much work in it. It’s amazing
I've always loved the Aztec and wanted one as soon as I saw one. I owned a PT Cruiser and absolutely loved it. Great car,went really well in the snow and it was still going with 200,000 miles on it but I had to get rid of it because it was rusting so badly underneath. If I could have fixed it I'd still have it,but it would have cost almost $4000 to fix everything
"Between 1960-1969"
Me: Ni-
James: *_NICE_*

They designed the Camaro as a more 'normal' replacement for the Corvair and to compete with the Mustang. They kept making the Corvair after they introduced the Camaro in 1967 basically to stick it to Ralph Nader because they didn't want people thinking they had cowed to him because of his book (the Corvair was still selling fairly well, especially after they put the fully-independent rear suspension out of the Corvette in it and had redesigned the body and introduced the Monza version).

“Miata’s are too small and slow” - People who will buy FRS’s
NoThisIsPratickStar I’d rather have a Miata than an FRS/BRZ/GT86
I was so excited for the FRS, until I drove it and realized it was slower than a Camry.
@@ray_collins wait is it actually 💀💀💀
I own a frs, and before owning it, I was originally going to buy a 96 miata... it was inexpensive and fun. So no, I dont call them slow and small
My dream car is Mazda Autozam AZ1 (now that's a small car)
"You like gymkhana and Ken block?" 😭😭 rip😔 great video though @Donut ❤
I'll always have a fondness for the PT Cruiser. It was the first car I bought in Gran Turismo 3 and used it rack up the credits to proceed in the game.
You played wrong. The only time you should ever buy a Miata is the starter car of Gran Turismo 3.

I didn't even realize that the Mazda Miata was hated. I think it's a great car. It's a shame that you rarely see him here nowadays.
I think it's because there is nothing masculine about it. But it's reliable, parts are common and cheap, and the handling is amazing. Nothing else handles this well at it's price point. It's a blast to drive.
@@nicholasbies5164 you can make it pretty manly tbh with a nagasaki spooly boy and some stance and some width in the badonka donk if ya know what I'm sayin. I think nas "pop up headlights" are considered the girly ones imo I own a nb and I get alot of compliments I haven't gotten any hate
@@nicholasbies5164 Where I live (2/3 mountain roads), handling is more important. So I prefer Miata over Mustang.
I live in Australia and see them all the time
i dreamed of owning one when i was a kid
I've got a long standing soft spot for the pontiac sunfire it was the family car for so long, had a small spark plug problem but we figured out what it was and fixed it ourselves without having to even take it into the shop
Got a speeding ticket in a Sun fire. 70 in a 55 smh
#6 Another thing about the PT Cruiser no one really knew was about the turbo version. Initially the turbo option was only available with the convertible version of the car. Which didn't make sense to me because when you put an engine in a car that lets you spin the wheels and haul ass down the road you WANT the stiff roof in order to help with cornering. Because, and here's the part I was hinting at at the start, the turbo option didn't just slap a turbo on the standard 2.4 liter engine. It was the frickin 2.4 turbo used in the SRT Neon. That's right. The turbo PT Cruiser was an SRT even though it wasn't labeled as such. And no one knew. But now you know.
Yep, I just bought a woody wagon turbo Cruiser. Love them
we knew. the neon and pt cruisers are terrible cars
@@will.green. I had both. They're actually great cars. The cruiser was underrated.
My man james is getting MO POWA BABEH, im glad he's taking his health to another level after that scare last year, keep it up james we love you buff horse.

I just realized that James is Bobby Hill grown up.
Stephen Mason that boy ain’t right
Omg
Who is James?

He’s not selling propane and propane accessories but you still must be proud!
I remember reading somewhere that the PT Cruiser was known by Chrysler execs and the Neon Wagon. So does that make it twice as hated since you have them both on the list?
I must say, I daily drive a 1973 Ford Pinto station wagon with a 2.0L in it. When I put the engine together, it did receive a small cam, so it's got a chop. I recently swapped out the junky C4 for a four speed manual, and it's officially the coolest, most fun little daily driver the world has ever know. It's been called a panty dropper, a shaggin' wagon and the "badass little yellow wagon." I get compliments everywhere I go, and I couldn't have a more perfect car for my attention craving lifestyle.
My aunt has a Prius with over 600 thousand miles and it’s crazy because she beats the hell out of it
He’s like a child but in a grown bearded mans body and I really enjoy the personality that come out
The Corvair also had a van. I owned both the van and the pickup truck. The latter had the very functional "ramp side," a drop down door on the right side, since there was a hump at the back to cover the engine. I carried many tone of manure and landscaping materials in that old truck, rear wheels splayed with so much camber. Never broke down.
I'm surprised he didn't amplify on the fact that the 1965-1960 Corvair had a radically different rear suspension. In fact, it was pretty much the same as the Corvette of the era with a lateral leaf spring making the lower member.
But by then Nader had done his damage.
The most underrated truck of all time is a ford ranger! Especially if it’s got a V6 and 4x4 with a manual transmission
"Number one mazda mi-"
Me: wait what? Some hates this car?
Some do, usually people who can't drive and only care about quarter mile stretch.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 or people like myself that are 6'5" and cant fit into the miata without our heads being over the windshield or crammed in the headliner

The car I loved and everyone hated was the family grocery getter - our 1986 Pontiac Parisienne station wagon with the faux wood panel siding and plush velour seats. It could comfortably seat 9 people and had the same 307 V-8 Pontiac was stuffing into it Trans Ams.
thank you for opening up my mind about the pirus, i didnt know about the emition thingy. i love yalls channel, good shit man.
Thursday:
Doug: Check out this cool neon!

I saw the doug vid too, maybe james took some inspiration from that one, i love the neon srt-4
Saturday:
Hoovie: I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST SRT4 IN THE USA
Saturday: neon price fly across the roof
@@ruso2153 Best part is: orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/buena-park-dodge-neon-acr/7105345625.html This looks to be the exact neon Doug reviewed, and it's for sale in Orange County where Doug said the car is located. The owner probably wanted Doug to review his car so that he could sell it.
“Everytime you see a new Supra thank a Prius”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
New Supra sucks and everyone knows that
@CMDR BouncyStickman I don’t know what that is? Just thought it was funny when James said that
@@rogeriolopes4849 It doesn't suck... just because it's a bmw doesn't means its bad. The engine bmw made is actually a pretty good platform for potential. Tbh I think the 2jz is mad overrated but don't get it wrong I love the 2jz its the great engine. Bmw is good at making turbocharged 6 cylinders and thats what the supra comes with. Hey I think quite frankly it looks good too. Also, I still think the mk4 is still better but the new one is not all that bad. You should learn to appreciate the new supra because it at least didn't really get that bad.
@@rogeriolopes4849 Other people have different opinions pal. Not “eVeRyOne” knows that. Just because BMW helped create it and it’s overpriced it sucks? Really? Is that you justification? Or are you just so obsessed with the 4th Gen Supra that you can’t adapt.

The year is 2012. My buddys mom and dad were split, and hed travel 2 hours to go stay with her on the weekends. Him and his dad had purchased a cherried out 1972 gmc 1/2 ton 2wd in baby puke green at a farm action. The truck had a crate engine of some kind- he claimed it was a 383 but its hard to tell without opening it up, which we never did. It did have a holly double pumper, high rise intake, and a full dual exhaust fed by a pair of long tube headers. Truck was a beast.
We learned really quickly 2 things.
1. People wanted to race this truck.
2. Undernieth 55 mph, his moms toyota prius would run almost exclusively on the electric motor, and stop light to stop light- nothing was faster then that car in that po dunk western nebraska town at the time.
We made allot of money with that prius, and ive had a soft spot for them ever since. 😅
Thank you for your opinion on the PT Cruiser. I have always loved that car but so many people hate on them.

MrThirtyTwo yeah instant. It’s a good idea, just don’t know how well GM is gonna capitalize on it.
Damn, James really slimmed down. Hope he's doing alright.
right? when was this filmed, my guy's lookin' great!
He had a heart attack a few months back, and losing weight (if you're overweight) is a great way to prevent another one.

Been driving an 08 Prius for years now and it's been really surprising. I used to drive an 89 Firebird with a 305 TBI and a supercharged Mini Cooper S for years and I still like the Prius. It's fine on the motorways, small highways where you might have to pass cars, it passes just fine at 50-70mph etc. It _launches_ off at speed for a pass, it's so surprising how spiffy it is. I passed 5 cars behind a semi on a 2-lane highway a few months back without breaking a sweat. I did break the speed limit by a lot, but that's another story :D (I just hate driving behind people).
The "independent study" on the Corvair had a modified suspension and radial tires, which were a rarity back in the day. The car they were selling to the public was totally a hazard, and got people killed.
Pontiac Aztek huh? I wonder how you'll convince me to like it.
"To me, the Aztek was the forerunner to every crossover made today."
*YOU DIDN'T CONVINCE ME.*

they were ment to make people run from s.u.v´s and buy normal lower cars, but other brands released better suv´s, i remenber seeing for the first time an aztec and i thought the car waS MISSING PANELS OR JUST A EXPERIENCE WITH A NOT TOTALLY BUILT CAR BUT THEY DID HAPPEN ,HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE A CAR MORE REPULSIVE THAN A PRIUS,sorry for caps lock ,i wasn´t looking to the screen

My friend had a Pontiac Aztek in our mid 20s. His dad was a prominent business owner, and the dealership gave him a great deal so it would have one on the road. You sat higher than any minivan, crossover or even a lot of SUVs. The removable center console cooler was a nice feature while traveling. But that all glass rear hatch was heavy, and my friend replaced the gas shocks twice in the 5 years or so he had it.
As for the Smart car, I went to the Toronto International Auto Show they year Smart was on their promo tour, and they not only had the Four2, but the Four4 and the Roadster, but the latter 2 were never officially released in North America. The 4 locked like a Neon station wagon, but the Roadster was actually nice, and would have been a contender for me to buy one. I see one pop up on used car markets once every 6 years or so.
The Chevette. Most people hate them but i love them. My dad drove one for years and it was bulletproof. Yes their slow 0-60 in 3.4 days but still. It was very reliable and took us anywhere we wanted to go
Just when I thought I couldn't hate the aztek more you tell me it's responsible for crossovers lol
XD
Eh, I watched another one of his videos recently where he credits the Lexus RX as being the granddaddy of crossovers
Eh, predated what the common masses want. Shouldn’t hate it, not your car but suits it’s purpose and does so well.
Eh, the Toyota RAV4 brought crossovers into the limelight imo
It's the reason the mitsubishi eclipse is a crossover

I once worked at a quick lube as a pit tech. I loved seeing PT Cruisers come in. They were so simple on oil changes from the bottom side. The drain plug and oil filter were right beside each other. Everything from the top side sucked, though, like removing the airbox for a battery change.

Combine the two, and boom. Hellcat that can corner
Hellcat widebods hit 1G lateral, hardly 'Can't corner' material..trolls are just throwing bs at them, bc they destroy their car..or dream car, bc they're 12 and/or have nothing else bad to say about them..so just make something up.
1G lateral with stock tires..it's better with soft tires like the Toyo R888 which obvo ppl would want if driving on a track.
a guy like me that is 6' 2" and loves torque would deffo not like driving a Miata for any length of time, lol.
Neons ate them alive in showroom stock class C in the 90's..slightly less cornering ability, bc an actual car..good for more than just one thing.
gobs more power out of the turns and down the straights.
after the race, drive it to the grocery store with 3 buds you brought to the track and then home. then to work all week in comfort & race it the next weekend.

When i worked for the bomb squad at fort bliss there was this senior technician that had to be 6'6 and 240. Enormous guy that somehow fit into his miata. He loved that damn car and im fairly certain he could squat it if he wanted.
chris wells I’m not as tall but I’m the same weight and have one 😂
i see a guy every morning at the petrol station probably about 6'3 in a full dress suit, and he just casually hops into his lowered mx5 miata.
I went to HS with a guy who was 7ft tall and daily drove an Alpha Spider.
a 6'5" lanky guy at my HS drove one, but he had custom mounted racing sets lol
You do realise he can fit in the much lighter kei hatchbacks
The Miata is the most loved car out there.
It has the best community and kids love them every time they see it they go crazy for it.
Yea it ain’t a Ferrari or high end car but it’s so fun to own.

Showing the Neon some love 🙌🏽 I’ve got a 1g Neon R/t with 58k miles, and a Orange Blast Srt4 Acr. Think the 1g had a production number around 2,000, and the OB Acr had a production number of 211. Probably a 1/4 of those left in decent condition.
Had a 2001 Neon R/T and I loved that thing. Loved it so much, I blew the transmission. There were tears when I sold it.

Thank you for the corvair love, my dad recently got a 66 and loves it
So you know the Corvair has been declared totally safe and that Ralph Nader lied. As well the Pinto has been completely vindicated.
Also Pinto means "dick" in Portuguese, wich makes it funny when James says there are a "an incredible amount of styles" available.
Also later when he needlessly censored D@#k Tracy, lol!
Guess what I felt when learnd that pajero means in spanish. I own Mitsubishi Pajero (montero in america)))))))))))
Spotted,.... Horse,..... Dick?
Pinto in Brasil it means dick, but in Portugal it means small chicken.
In English it's a type of horse, I guess Ford was going for a theme with the Mustang, Bronco, probably others
You said “Pt Cruiser,” but I think you meant: “Hella Big Radish.”
Cant unsee
The PT in PT Cruiser stands for Pussy Thrasher. My friend who drives a PT Cruiser told me that.
Who tf hates a miata?
Nader failed to include the VW Beetle which had an IDENTICAL suspension.

I had a pleasant experience in a Prius my first ride. I had a co worker give me a ride and it was actually very nice. The engine noise in the cab was pretty much non existent and it was really comfy and even though I needed to go east and he needed to go west he didnt seem to mind at all didnt even charge me gas money which I offered $10 for his gas and time but was told "I appreciate it man but it's fine this thing does amazing on gas so dont worry about it" so on the way home I was asking him about it. His weekend car was a challenger which was sweet.
List of HATED Cars: Starts with one of the most loved cars of all time...
Yup
literally
I dont want an argument but what James mean by hating the miata is because it doesn't really have a middle ground, you either like em or hate them
* nolan disliked that *
Barely anyone doesn't like the Miata. I'd own one myself, but I'd be cramped and my dog would kill me if that's all he had to ride in
"The Aztek was the forerunner to every crossover vehicle you see on the roads today."
This makes me hate it even more
joyful flower, 4-runner
Speaking of 4Runner
Watch this video of Doug Demuro

Lol same
Exactly. Crossovers are terrible!
I luv it coz it featured in breaking bad
Content from 3 years ago, defending the cybertruck. Great! Where can I test drive one?
"[The Cybertruck] breaks all of the rules!.."
Yeah, including (potentially) rules of the road...
For real tho this series should continue after the whole virus thing ends. Loving this series!
Ron Gabriel R. Paloma when it ends.......let’s hope we have a happy ending:(
>"after the whole virus thing ends"
xd
it still hasn’t ended :(
@@DavidCruz-qe8kn its almost ended, just getting swept under the rug but for the most part things are going back to normal
I want James do an Up to Speed on the SRT-4
Doug Demuro: Am I a joke to you?
big daddy dougs got you covered buddy
He recently got it reviewed, buddy 😏
Donut > Doug
It was a neon with a few cool upgrades... It doesn't have a deep interesting story worthy of an up to speed episode...
Ps: i quite like the neon srt-4
Mad respect for bleeping *ick Tracy.
That's a legend move.
I’m Australian in America. My dad has a Maloo( saw it 3 weeks ago when I was there…amazing…Sad they don’t make them anymore, but his 60K Maloo with LS2 is now worth 150K. If you want a sleeper investment, get a G8or a GTO…they are cheap AF, but if you sent one to Australia, that’s an easy hundy K profit.
What I've gathered from this,
Nolan LOVES drinking milk
he literally can't get enough of the stuff and we're all concerned for him
Mazda Miatas used to be hated until we all grew up and realized how perfect they are
- and also, anime eyes
Call it a MX-5 like the rest of the world and you're sorted.
Buzz Krieger no
KAWAII car I love it might get it as my get as my first car
I got over the stigma when I started playing NFS Hot Persute on the old PS2 that was the most capable base there. I've wanted one ever since.
Dude the ssr is one of my favorite trucks ever. So sick man
3 years Later, Cybertruck production still hasn't started
"however to me the Aztek was the forerunner to every crossover vehicle" dam you made it even worse in my opinion
Aztek is probably the only crossover I'd ever buy just for a fun quirky sh*tbox.
It is the reason that we have the fucking Eclipse Cross and Mustang Mach E
@@saturndesigns2339 It would actually be worth it just as a camping vehicle. They're around the same price as a tent trailer, so they really aren't that expensive if that's your hobby.
The only thing I can say in it's defense, is that specs aside, there's something refreshing about a crossover that was marketed for camping and the wilderness, and isn't just a mini van. for people who are too cool for a mini van.
@@filmandfirearms i agree with that, in the UK all the cars you see are either crossovers or weird city car hatchback things.
Hey James, are you doing well? You"ve lost weight significantly
Yeah, i hope everything is fine, he lost at least 20 pounds 🤭
Isint that a good thing?
He had a heart attack recently(late 2019-early 2020), and he was ordered onto a dietary program after they saved him(in earlier videos and on their other social channels they explain it a bit). So I'm glad to see the results are starting to show
I’m sure it’s intentional after the Heart Attack.
Congrats to James on the progress.
Let’s hope it doesn’t be like the Steve Jobs look soon.we love u brother
When I became a dad I sold my truck and bought a PT. I loved that car. I put over 200.000 miles on it with very minimal issues. I mean just normal up keep stuff like a timing belt at 120.000 a fuel pump and ac compressor. That's it. It was very reliable I even started my own taxi service with it and it ran like dream.
