MODERATORS
This guy literally says he spends a week or two with each vehicle while demoing, same as car and driver does for their reviews. He’s not looking at it for 5 seconds then picking it apart.
Even if he does spend 2 weeks with them, he frequently talks about stuff he is out of his depth on.
Just because he had access to interesting cars doesn’t make him a good car reviewer. If I want to see what the inside of a Lamborghini Miura looks like, sure he’s probably got a video of it.
If I want to know anything about a modern car that I may purchase though, he’s one of the last people I’d look to.
And just because he’s a normal person and says he’s not a professional does not make him a bad reviewer. He’s a normal person who notices normal things we would all find annoying. I pick out things similar to how he views things so his views are definitely useful. You can latch on to anyone you want, but having a real person look at an object and find faults we all would hate is exactly the right person to review something.
