With my RY PDK Spyder stuck in port it satisfied my daily yellow Spyder itch...other than that; weak at best.

I bet that guy gets mad trim in Deutschland. He also has mad access to German cars AND does reviews in English before anyone else. Despite this, their subscription numbers are anemic for the reasons mentioned above...

He did that already (everything else and more) in his "launch" review of the GT4 & Spyder ...

I agree it was extremely boring and I can't take any of his performance comments seriously. At least in the video at no point did he apply greater then 1/4 throttle or get anywhere near redline.

Ha ha you guys are mean~
those criticism reminds me about these words at the end of movie Ratatouille by the character Anton Ego. just kidding~ haha

*******
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

Thomas is one of my favorite car reviewers, and I have watched his 718 GTS 4.0 review countless times to get through the wait for delivery.

This guy is boring AF and I am in shock at how slowly he was driving throughout the video.
