I was between Euro matches 🤣. The review almost made me want one.

That’s about as glowing as Harry gets. This guy is not shy on ripping a car.

Good old Harry. Not the most consistent reviewer. He moaned about road noise in the 992 base and S with PDKs (true for all 911s) but completely forgot about it in the manual GTS that he drove. He declared the GTS to be the sweet spot in the lineup. The 992 GTS is an extremely harsh-riding 911 in my experience. Then he was wildly off about the weight of the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 although he loved that car. Good entertainment but his reviews are not very informative to me. YMMV. He sure has a nice collection of cars.

His reviews are not techinal (though he does try to bring in some technical components), they are more emotional. Which i actually appreciate for a road car reviewer. His road trip reviews are great.

I think appreciate his perspective it’s usually pretty spot on for me, though I agree it can be inconsistent just some of the times

made me feel better about the srs, I’ve been wondering if I’m going to actually enjoy it when it arrives. But a mini CGT comparison has me excited!

Am a long time fan of Harry's-his saying that it's a mini Carrera GT is high praise from someone who has driven everything, and has me excited for my SRS to arrive in September! Now hoping Chris Harris and Henry Catchpole do reviews too.

I respect Harry quite a bit.

Seen most of his videos, and while I respect his opinions, I find some of his sensibilities towards cars rather odd, and inconsistent.

He must have had a little fun. The 14:06 mark shows the front left hand fender had some windshield wiper fluid that had leaked.
