I think a 95-year-old lady could have driven that car and reported on it with more excitement.

That guy is the worst reviewer on YT. He really needs to find a different profession.

his original GT4/Spyder launch video was equally as tedious ... not too mention the fact that he was getting passed on track - he's not even that good of a driver ...

I always love it when the reviewer starts by telling me the length and width of the car and where the logo is right at the start. I hate having to wait for that critical data.

I will be in the minority when I say he did a decent job of the review, he covered pretty much everything especially on a day where the track and road surfaces precluded any real spirited driving.

For those of us who already have a car the review lacks any real new information other then the PDK aspect, for someone else that is considering a Spyder or GT4 then it is a worthwhile investment in time.

He's an awful driver actually. Reminds me of when a lifestyle reporter at a newspaper reviews a car. And he better fix those hand positions or the first time he crashes on track, he's gonna snap a thumb off.

I have to admit, it really needs a lot of help. Thomas does a much better job.
