Why do some reviewers go on and on about how awesome a car is, how fast it is, how great it performs and then spend the entire video doddling around like a school marm doing her first track day? That Carfection video guy should pay everyone who watched his video for his time. He basically said nothing but 'this car is awesome' while puttering around and providing nothing of substance. I want that part of my life back.
Best one I saw, was definitely the DriveTribe one:

It's because he can't drive. I'm not being mean or trolling, I'm serious. Watch his videos.. he uses someone for occasional track work, he can't drift, he has no racing or road rally history like many of the others.. from monkey to ALL the evo guys.. even top gear and autocar guys.. all do events on the side. The carfection guy doesn't so much review as philosophize.. he can't go deep into mechanicals.. so his reviews are engaging, but not interesting or deep.
So as a result most of these car reviews are simply car ****. I guess I'm okay with that.

I found these reviews worthless. They hardly provide any information that I don't know.
I know the specs, I know it is fast, it sounds good, it has grip, the steer is precise.
For me, I want to know how this new car feels compared to the .1GT3, .1GT3RS, and other competitors. Why should I choose .2GT3 over the .1GT3, RS, AMG GTR or whatever.
So far I feel it is not a game changer comparing to the last GT3, comparison is hardly mentioned. When the 991.1 GT3 is out, every reviewer kept saying 'this is miles ahead of the 997 GT3'.....
Car reviews don't need to look like those Xhmee or JWWWWWW vlogs. What they did is just state the specs, drive and praise, same comments, same wording, different cars..

The drifting is boring and annoying and unimpressive in all these videos. Maybe they are catering to a different crowd. Put a go pro on the front bumper and turn some hot laps around Sebring/Road Atl/VIR... That would be worth watching without any narration.

And then they all went to a BMW event and said the same. These 'car journalists' are a joke to me. This brand today, that brand tomorrow...now who wants to advertise on my website. One of those Youtube 'journalists' is sponsoring mens belts now LOL...yeah they are VERY reliable sources. NOT :big gulp:

I too would rather watch Go Pro footage of hot laps. It's a shame.

These reviewers say the same thing for all cars. No useful information in most cases. If they can't say anything I don't know, and have the same comments for all cars, Huracan, GT3, R8, GTR, then what's the point of these reviews? Entertaining to watch though. Maybe that's the point.

brit reviewers in general are always much more informed, articulate and incisive than american ones
among the brits, jethro and monkeyboy are the most attuned to real enthusiasts... sutcliffe is excellent too but he seems to not shot anything in a while
any person's perspective on drifting an expensive car on track changes if they are paying for tires ... anyhow, for these video journalists they do need to pander for add'l eyeballs, so need to broadcast for as wide an audience as possible, not just us pag nerdo track rat fanboys

But why do they pick the GT3? Why does GT3 stand out? Telling me GT3 is good by drifting over every corner is far from enough.

They are fun to watch, but really don't offer much in the way of real comparisons.
But hey they got a free trip and hope their video is more viewed than Shemeeeeeee
