The redesign of the new BMW 2 Series coupe goes more than skin (or steel) deep, as we discuss our first impressions of its ride, handling, powertrain, and what separates the coupe version of the 2 Series from the sedan option. We also consider whether the driver monitoring in Ford's BlueCruise and GM's Super Cruise active driving assistance systems can lead to tunnel vision behind the wheel, and potentially cause drivers to zone out on the highway.

Thank you for this amazing video, there’s always a way you can keep us watching your videos without getting bored. As a video maker myself, I’ll definitely take some inspiration from you ❤️
Aside from the driver monitoring, I would argue that driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control and Lane centering actually give me much better situational awareness and I’m able to pay attention to what’s happening with traffic even farther ahead than I can when controlling all of those inputs myself
I like the show very much, watch it every week. I do feel that you are spending too much time in reviewing cars that most Americans don’t buy. Your Q and A section as gotten reduced to just one question at the very end of the show. I would like to see the old format back when you answered more automotive questions.
I agree about BMW loosing its special sauce.
@17:03 talking about left lane huggers.. LoL. I’m always on right lane at speed limit and still people seems impatient and now I have put a “Student Driver” sticker on my back window now 😂 Zero tickets so far and cops don’t even look at my 4Runner knowing it won’t go over speed limit..🤣🤣🤣
Jen, sorry for the lost of your father.
