    One word: Presence. This car has road presence in SPADES, especially if you see one on the road. Incredible design.

    Man i really like the reviews that this guy makes. Takes his time to go into a lot of details and also showing them. Covering practicality, Driving, Looks and giving his honest buying advice. Thanks ;D

    Being a reader of Car & Driver magazine for years I have always enjoyed Csaba Csere's reviews. And now I'm really enjoying his video presentations. Presentations are very coherent and offer a lot of interesting details. I'm very happy with subscription to your channel! Thank you.

    I like this guy Csere. He's special. Keep up the good work. Don't lose your uniqueness.

    One of Henrik Fisker's greatest strengths is his prowess in design. Just look at the lines of a Aston Martin Rapide (which he also designed). He should've stuck with that since this vehicle's greatest downfall is the lack of infrastructure in place to service it. This is where Tesla really shines; on a worldwide scale. The ownership experience that Tesla provides for their customers is second to none, and that's what a car purchase boils down to. Reliability, ease of service and cost of ownership.

    So they only built like 2500 cars and over 300 of them were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy....lol holy smoke, talk about Karma    lol

    Great review, thank you. Csere, from the drivers seat, which felt more like a drivers car? Fisker or the Tesla?
  • Fantastic review guys, Only thing I would say is that this felt a little drawn out and the same thing was covered a couple of times, but I am really enjoying the thought and "class" that has gone into all of your newer reviews. Keep up the great work.

    Csaba is probably the best car reviewer I've ever seen! There are a lot of amazing car reviewers out there, and while Jeremy Clarkson is very entertaining, I wouldn't ask him about buying a car for myself. Csaba's approach is to review a car more like a close friend of even a father (THIS IS A COMPLIMENT!!!!), and as a result I trust his reviews most of all. Please keep reviewing cars, you're awesome!

  • @coreyballard
    Fisker Karma body with everything else the Model S, this car would be amazing.
  • @alainl007
    The best report by Csaba Csere!! I like you test drive!!  Well done!!
  • @cjoe42
    Thx for your reply! I was concerned about the batteries developing memory (like cellphone and laptop batteries) or in the case of lead acid batteries, my car's battery (sealed battery) gets changed out on average every 2-3 years. If these battery packs can last like you say, then full electric makes a lot of sense
