    I am a bit disappointed that every time you guys bring the Vito to a race you always use the low end version of it. If it had been the 119 with 190 hp and rwd it probably would have smoked those other vans. Other than that as always great video and very nice content! Keep it up!

It also is much much cheaper, more like around 37k, I don’t think there is any point in buying one of those aftermarket bodykit transits.

      There ain't no Altimas in the UK, we have Camrys.. but they are basic and not TRD versions like in the US. Most off the Civics are 1.0L Turbos and some 1.5s.. most off the Mazda 6s are 2.2L turbo diesel or 2.0L non turbo petrol.
      Nissan don't sell saloon cars anymore in the UK and when they did a long tíme ago. They were called the Primera and Maxima. .Honda also pulled the Accord from the UK market about 6 to 7 years ago and the Toyota Camry is not a good seller and never really was.. Toyotas main saloon car was the Avensis and Carina before it. The Accord and Camry might be good sellers in the US. But the Mazda 6 outsold both off them combined here.

    Sad you decided to pick the Vito with a renault engine (FWD).... Vito's have a real merc engine from 150 HP and from that point they will also be RWD
