[vs-jwplayer movieid=”xKjZfSH0uVA” width=”640″ height=”360″ autoplay=”0″]
With 218,000 views, this quirky comparison comes in at number 10 on our list. We were so impressed with the Hyundai Genesis, that we compared it to one of the best luxury car’s in the segment: the Cadillac CTS. The Genesis takes the win by offering just as much as the Cadillac, and costing almost $17,000 less. While Hyundai has always been known to deliver excellent value, this comparison proved that the company can also produce a a high-quality car that can keep up with true luxury rivals.
9. Toyota Camry Review

The Toyota Camry is the king when it comes to the world of mid-sized sedans. For 2015 the Japanese automaker gave the Camry a substantially new look and a new sporty trim level. Without a doubt, the changes were for the better as the Camry emerges as a stylish, comfortable and well equipped car for the money.
8. Fiesta ST vs Subaru BRZ

The rear-wheel drive Subaru BRZ was the darling of the affordable performance car world, up until the new Fiesta ST came and stole its thunder. We decided to put the two cars up to the test at our race track to see which one is better. Could the front-wheel-drive Ford really keep up with the BRZ? If you haven’t watched the video, I won’t spoil it for you, but the footage we got on the track is superb.
7. Audi R8 vs Porsche 911

We took two all-wheel-drive supercars to the AutoGuide test track to show just how capable these borderline exotics are in colder weather. The stylish Audi R8 V10 Plus sure looks the part of a super car, but the high-tech wizardry of the Porsche 911 Turbo is extremely difficult to match, even for Audi.
6. Honda Fit Review

The Honda Fit was always a solid entry in the subcompact car category, but its high price and below average fuel economy made it hard to recommend. For its third generation, Honda looked to improve the cars fuel ratings while offering more value in the form of technology and convenience.
5. Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Review

Another trip to the track? You bet, and this time we’ve got the SRT-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee and its 6.4-liter V8 engine.We set out to see if there really is such a thing as a performance SUV, and what kind of fun you can have at the track with a big truck. Without a doubt, the Grand Cherokee SRT was satisfying, so check out the video if you haven’t yet.
4. Lamborghini Huracan

With over 100,000 more hits than our fifth place video, this Lamborghini Huracan first drive was extremely popular. It also won AutoGuide an award from the folks at the Automotive Journalist Association of Canada (AJAC). With its 5.2-liter V10 engine and sleek Italian styling, the Huracan will make anyone start to drool uncontrollably.

Our videos aren’t just reviews and comparisons, we also cover new reveals at the latest auto shows. This year, our third most watched video was the reveal of the new look Dodge Charger and its coupe counterpart, the Challenger. The new design of the Charger seems to be quite polarizing, with many commenters sharing their opinion on the modern look.
2. MINI Cooper S Review

The all new MINI Cooper may not look it, but underneath that familiar look is more space, new engines and the same fun driving dynamics we’ve always loved about this brand. Add in Associate Editor Craig Cole’s quirky humor and it’s no wonder this video emerged as the number 2 most viewed video of 2014.

Who said diesel is dead? We took a pair of diesel powered executive sedans and helped settle it once and for all: are modern diesels good enough to be used in expensive luxury cars? The answer was a resounding yes, but only one of these cars emerged as a true winner. Check the video if you haven’t yet to find out if the BMW 535d outperformed the Audi A6 TDI.
