Description

The Edmunds One-Year Road Test program, in which we test some cars for a full year or more, is the best way for us to learn what it’s truly like to live with a vehicle. In this video, Edmunds’ Brian Wong gives an update on our experiences thus far with our Honda Civic hybrid, Lexus GX 550 Overtrail, Ram 1500 Limited, Volvo EX30 and Kia Carnival Hybrid.

A Ram 1500 with horrible quality control? That's a feature, not a bug

We own a 2022 Ram Promaster 3500 as a Winnebego Class B RV. The electrical issues are occasional. But the most interesting one was where it was literally impossible to turn the car off. No joke.

I think it says even more to the quality of these vehicles when you get measurements like "I don't want to drive this expensive new car around if I don't have to". Also, consider how many 1 year cars in their fleet, and seeing which ones get used the most. It's a great review model.

We hope you've enjoyed this look at about a quarter of the cars that we own, the good, the bad, and the scooters. And if you have anything you'd love to see us add to our One-Year Road Test fleet, let us know in the comments below! It's important that we're adding new models that people want to see and this is the best way to let us know.

Idk why the High Output Rams have so many electrical gremlins, I have a 2025 Rebel with the Standard Output Hurricane and it’s been great.

Great video, the life of road testers and the hard life of test cars 😂😂😂 Surprised to see such a hate for simply awesome Volvo EX30, we got it here in Europe and I love it! Would love to see you getting hands on Chinese automakers cars for review, like XPeng, BYD, NIO, Geely,.... Keep up with great work 🤟
