2023 Nissan Ariya First Impressions: Priced to Compete!

It's a Duracell car! The copper top! Love these new car reviews. Keep'em coming!

I think for a Nissan this is probably the best looking car they produced in years. Some minor gripes, but overall a very good option in an already busy field.

Honestly, my biggest gripe with capacitive buttons is that you can't feel where they are and they immediately activate. I firmly believe that a few raised ridges/bumps and a force sensor would go a LONG way to making them easier to use. But at that point might as well just have buttons.....

For me the copper metallic is a 10 of 10. I love it.😊

Overall, it looks pretty good! Those capacitive buttons are such a disappointment though. Cars need physical controls in my opinion. I'm really liking the honest and off the cuff opinions.

Can we please stop with the haptic touch sensors rather than regular buttons? I hope this doesn't become a trend amongst new EVs and ICEs

I actually really like these copper/metal colors on electric cars. I think it makes them stand out. That being said, I hope more color options start popping out, bring back colorful cars.

I'd love to see you do a review of the 2023 Chevy Bolt. It's definitely the most boring EV around, but for $25k, it's not terrible. Could be cool to compare it to a more expensive EV like the Hyundai Ionic 5.

I dont know why but I really love these auto focus videos as no gear is being used just Marques and his phone. Feels natural. A youtuber on road with his phone creating amazing contents!!

Love this new channel. Really honest overview of great cars. Also enjoy the smart phone filming. Great.

I had the chance to drive one. I think most people compare every EV vehicle to Tesla. I think even though they did a lot of things right, I believe Nissan is the real gem. If you are not interested in showing off and your goal is to reduce your personal fossil fuel consumption while having a practical vehicle, then Nissan works all day long. By the way, I did order an Ariya and look forward to taking delivery in December 2022 (aka Late Fall 2022)

I’ve had a new Leaf since January and when people ask me about it I explain that it’s totally niche needs. For instance, it’s only for all the local driving, school, work, stores etc…so it’s not for road trips. I actually love it. As for the Ariya, Probably not. Too expensive for just everyday driving and still not good for road trips. My leaf doesn’t have those stupid buttons either. Don’t get caught up in luxury too much, pseudo or otherwise cause most people are just going to be surviving the next 5 years or so.

I was skeptical about the size of this car until I was able to physically see & touch it at the NYAuto Show & fell in love with it! The disappointing thing about this though, is that it’s already a year behind schedule. It would be some sort of comfort to think that since it’s in your hands in NJ, that there are more on the way to the Tri-State area. I know the haptic buttons are a bust for many, but there will most likely be something about any car coming out, that everyone won’t like…just saying. The copper color has grown on me, but I’d probably still go for a Silver before that!

The Ariya has 1 killer feature… it has a button to activate battery heating. That's something that every car in cold climates should have, since I do not want to get to a fast charger and get 30kW like I do right now with my Peugeot.

Love this format. It's so straight forward and minimal. I guess this is also why it works so well for Doug.

This channel is becoming my favorite automobile channel and I look forward to more detailed car talk and more different car videos. :-)

It's good to see Marques in a more free and unedited environment.

Keep them coming Marques! We absolutely love this concept of shooting from a phone and ofc your honest reviews and impressions of cars!

I really like the exterior look and the phone hideaway charger that forces you to use the screen rather than check your phone all the time. The cup holder, I like that it has that accordion cover, adds a sleekness to the interior, and the floor space, I like it, but agree that things will slide around.

Dang glad to see how this channel came back to live. I like the production method. Giving out sincere consumer vibes
