Of course no one could really predict how that would go, but it would certainly be the only thing to make me come back to watching it.

Carwow is by a margin the most consistent car reviewer in the English speaking world. If they have a full review up for a car and filmed in the UK, I KNOW for a fact what will be tested and reviewed in the video. Alot of car websites and reviewers are inconsistent with what they show and how in depth they go in the review. I live in America and If I'm looking at a car that's also sold in the UK, I trust carwow to give me the most information on it.

@eden5260 8 месяцев назад

Ammm Evo , autocar , autoexpress ? Yes they aren't as consistent anymore with social media they still are more of a magazine The reviews are way more in depth and are more for the* car guys" Car wow is more approachable for all, funny , and for the clicks.

@macaron3141592653 8 месяцев назад

The car Matt Drove was a McMurtry car a one-seater hypercar which has a vacuum system which sucks itself to the road at all times so it has maximum downforce he drove it in 7.6 seconds to a quarter mile it broke the hill climb record as well. It's an amazing car and you can buy one for the road the suction is adjustable and the power is as well you can dial in the HP upto a 1000 hp or you can dial it down for road use.
