Such poor writing and misinformation…
Such poor writing and misinformation abound in the articles. They are either written by AI or by someone that has no experience or knowledge of classic cars.

Fake cars
Most of the cars they are writing about today are not real. They are AI and digital renderings of a car. There is no love or passion for a digital car, the work to make a digital picture of a car will never compare to the time, blood and sweat it takes to build one.

Please stop writing about cars
Please stop writing about cars. You people have no clue what you’re writing about. It would be best if you guys sell hotdogs or do anything other than journalism. I’m convinced that their journalists know more about baking cookies than cars. Let the experts handle this job please. You guys just keep spreading misinformation and it doesn’t help anyone.

PLEASE THROW IN THE TOWEL HOTCARS!
This company just needs to realign their entire focus. Cars they do not get, its a bunch of millennial Canadians that have spent more time behind a keyboard than a wrench. Shameful travesty of an automotive website. It needs to be dissolved into oblivion for the benefit of mankind.

Hotcars is a site for children
Hotcars is a site for children. It appears that none of the writers has any real automotive experience and they put out blatantly false and misleading information. None of the writers appear to have ever actually working on any car or truck and have zero technical knowledge. Shameful and a disgrace to the automotive field. This is a representation of fake news. I have been rebuilding engines for over 40 years, How could anyone take anything written by Hotcars as true. Hotcars is ridiculous.

Terrible journalism
This is the most biased, dishonest "journalism" (I use the term loosely) I've seen in the auto sphere.To see what I mean, just check out their utter hatred of EVs. They keep publishing articles around the theme of why you should never buy a Tesla. It gets boring pretty quickly, and it's obvious some of their logic applies equally to ICE cars but of course they don't mention that.

Hotcars.com has so much disinformation…it's SHAMEFUL!
Hotcars.com has so much disinformation it's frightening. In its recent article regarding Tesla Model Y vs FORD's Mustang Mach E, 75% of his 'facts' are DEAD WRONG. I own neither car, but have followed EV's since the start, and am actually a member of the EV Society of Canada. This 'writer' on Hotcars.com got the following wrong about the Mach E: end-user pricing, range, charging scenarios, availability, and then mixed up ALL the performance figures, to 'pump it'. He then did the same for the Tesla Model Y, but he did so to 'shame it'. Shame on this Writer, AND on Hotcars.com for publishing articles that have very, very little truth therein. It's unfortunate that most people may actually believe this garbage...and make buying decisions based upon these lies.

The writers of this site are usually biased and show more ignorance about cars than knowledge.

Check Out Charles North VI
Hello everyone. I am new to this but I would like to tell you that Charles North VI (one of the better journalists who knows his stuff) on Hotcars.com writes articles and actually does a good damn job. He hasn't posted in a while but I follow him on Twitter @charlesnorthvi and he started posting again. I can agree about the other articles, but this guy knows, or at least has a sense of knowledge of what he is talking about. Check him out!

Just die peacefully
It's obvious that these folks have no clue when it comes to anything automotive. Lots of inaccurate and misleading information from a hipster point of view. It smells of a few young IT pros that got together and decided to profit from an online presence through marketing 101, nice photos and borrowed content.Just look at their list of "real and fake" auto reality shows. Those descriptors (real and fake) don't even fit the article. You know there's always a measure of fake involved in reality TV. They misuse the terms to designate shows they enjoy (real) and shows they don't like (fake). Maybe they should thing more in a positive-negative mindset (assuming they have the brain cells available to do more than eat, poop and sleep). What's most disturbing to a car guy is that some of the "fake" shows are actually the most informative and correct. Inaccuracy abounds at an embarrassing pace. They cited a show regarding the restomod of 10-wheeled trucks as 6-wheeled trucks. That's just simple stuff a 10 year old could grasp. And the list of fails go on and on.Don't waste your time with this foolishness. I'll never regain the short time I spent reading their blather.

Hotcars is really a hot mess...
Hotcars is a car oriented website written by non car people. Their articles are full of misleading information. The articles written all have truth behind them, but the writers often fail to dig deeper into the facts, and end up giving misinformed information. Example, reading a section going on about why the 2019 Ridgeline is better then the Tacoma, one of the arguments stated is that the Tacoma starts at $25xxx and the Ridgeline starts at $29xxx. Even though the Ridgeline cost $4000 more, it makes up for it by coming equipped standard with a V6. What they failed to mention is that the Tacoma can be option with a V6 starting at $28xxx. Making it 1k cheaper than the Ridgeline, but still retaining a V6. At first they make it sound like the ridgelines a better deal, but in reality the Tacoma has better value. (I don't have a biased for either one just stating facts) Whenever they're talking about a certain car in their articles they always put a picture of said car in the top of the page. I often find that 1 out of every 20 ish articles will have a picture of the wrong car on the top of the article. Not a big deal but if your staff actually knew what they were writing about then that mistake would have never happened. An example, they were talking about the sportiness of the new Honda Accord, but then proceeded to show the front end of the Honda Civic type-r. I also saw this happen when they were talking about old Toyota 4Runners, but for some reason posted a picture of an old Dodge Durango. They had an article stating 25 reasons that Honda was better than Toyota. One of those reasons was that Honda has a car for everybody in every class, while Toyota fails to do so. They briefly touch base on the fact that the Toyota Avalon could be considered in the large sedan segment, but is often put into the mid-size category. Well their pointing out Toyota's flaw in that they don't have a large sedan, but in fact that argument is flawed because neither does Honda. So what point did they just prove? These are all small problems that are no big issue, but it's the fact that I find multiple mistakes like these, in every single article I read. It makes me think that somebody didn't do their homework thoroughly enough. They have fun entertaining articles to read, but often leave out large chunks of valuable information, give misleading information, and make mistakes that any car person can catch easily. If you ever see these articles as ads on Facebook while you're scrolling through your news feed, click on the comment section of the ad and you"ll often see replies from people like me complaining about the mistakes in the articles.

Hotcars.com has a great story about…
Hotcars.com has a great story about customers are have problems with the trucks they build. Also DirtMonkey youtuberHas a video on a anonymous worker reporting that at one Chevrolet factory the roof is leaking so bad that water gets into the GMC and Chevy line while being build and is still in those same vehicles while the carpets and electric is being installed. Evidently GM does not care if there customers don't know. Just shove those vehicles out the doors. Also being reported that parts not quit fitting properly are not protected because the sanding to base metel is removed. Evey Chevy buyer should see this story.
