Also Doug Demuro raves about it [1]. Personally I can't stand Marques' reviews. Just inspiring and he looks bored. Doug on the other hand really seems to put some of his soul into his reviews.

Doug's problem is that he is never critical, he even calls flaws or omissions with the euphemism 'quirks'. It feels like he is too embedded in the automotive ecosystem to the point where he will not even be critical of Stellantis products.

Marques has no problem calling out inferior products.


Doug's format is beyond worn out and tiresome.

He hasn't innovated or improved upon anything in years.

Don't even get me started on his voice...


Right you are Ken, but the format pretty much is his schtick. It’s not that entertaining at all anymore, but it’s also decent to know that a review will probably exist for most cars I’m ever considering.

For me his value remains mainly that he’s tall which I am too, so when he’s in a car I can guess what it’ll be like for me.


I wanted to do something like that for motorcycles. Show how I fit on various bikes. I am 6'6" Knowing what to say is another matter though.

https://cycle-ergo.com/ here you go buddy, I'm on the taller side too and found this when choosing my last bike

Agreed, re: DeMuro.... I'm long past tired of hearing how "The ____ is the ____!"

I do like Tedward's videos, though. He seems a lot more honestly enthusiastic about it, and definitely has fun with the cars.


If even Doug falls out of favor.. then I don't know anymore. His voice doesn't bother me too much but he sure has a lot of energy just to keep talking. Never stops talking.

what do you think about Mat Watson?
