Alex gets behind the wheel of the crazy new Nomad. It looks mad, goes like hell and sounds insane. So why doesn't he like it?

The most amusing thing about this setup, is the fact that it sits on G012th Geolandars, which my w202 had as rears, *and* for which i was regularily pitchforked by the club, all the _"you can't put AT/S rubber on a german sport saloon, it spoils the handling..."_ Well, whadayaknow, looky here. Seriously, since my dad's Frontera stopped on a -dime- _ten_pounds_and_a_half_ with these, i've discovered, they have brilliant performance in the mixed conditions. (also, being mounted on road-going body, made them indestructable, never had a single puncture from that moment i put them on.)

@ttofaudishanghai 9 лет назад

Great video, it is the best video on the entire youtube on Ariel Nomad. Love the way you do your videos, just wondering is it possible to share which roads you use to do your test drives?

@alexkersten1964 9 лет назад

ttofaudishanghai Thanks bro. We use any roads that look open, empty and twisty. Roads depend on location of the car entirely, but Surrey is always a good place to go. This was filmed in Somerset/Devon.

@basbas63 8 лет назад

5:53 You don't hear people say that very often, but actually, the serious Honda engines are perfect for the road in my opinion, quick throttle response and the right amount of power to have fun without going to jail. I mean look at the AE86.. it doesn't have any power but is fun on the road because it is light and doesn't want to kill you. I wonder how that car became such a classic but Hondas get so much hate. Sorry, a completely unrelated rant.. I know, I know.

@system.1929 8 лет назад

The Atom V8 is a Hayabusa split-mated block V8, but the other is a V-Tech Honda engine.

@SpikeKastleman 8 лет назад

The one he tested is what I was referring to. I know the *Atom* had a V8, but this isn't an *Atom*. This is a *Nomad*.

@system.1929 8 лет назад

Spike Kastleman Oh, I thought you were referring to Ariel's line as a whole. I wonder if they will put a Honda 4cyl to v8 in this one eventually.

@SpikeKastleman 8 лет назад

If you mean putting two Honda I-4's together to make a V8, I personally doubt it. Honda has been trying to do that for ages. They just can't get it to run right, and if they get it to run okay, it's got such little power.

@system.1929 8 лет назад

Spike Kastleman Well, Ariel found someone to do it with the 'Busa I4-V8, and that thing makes 250hp from 2.8 L with a 11000rpm redline. I just wonder what a Honda would sound like...

@powerbutton2694 8 лет назад

nice joke with the extra protein i laughed so much xD

@DerbJd 9 лет назад

They should bring the roof bars together over the door access, like a T-Bar and make it easier to get in and out of. Then it'll appeal :),

@Chokieokie 9 лет назад

Very professional review, keep it up 👍

@SoulTouchMusic93 7 лет назад

have you seen how wavy some roads are in uk? that suspension travel makes it faster than a normal atom on those roads because it allows you to maintain control over huge bumps. not every road is a racetrack, in fact barely any are as smooth.

@Runoratsu 8 лет назад

I think this is the ultimate toy. Does it have loads of quirks? You betcha. Does it look like incredible fun tho? Ohhhh yeah. This, the big tires, and some offroad playground? Yee-haw. Too bad I'll probably never have the money to spend on something like that. But if I ever win the lottery… this will join my garage.

Car Throttle Great review(er), funny as hell and informative. One of the 'normal' human that review cars- some other reviewers spend most of their time talking about how fast a car is in a monotonous tone and with a straight face, and just completely lack expression.
