+CJ DASHCAM Doug is more of an entertainer, this is a proper review, professionally done with a real world perspective. What i like is that Harry is both part of the industry (works at SVO), journalism (used to own EVO Magazine), and an owner (by that i mean he is the target audience of most cars he reviews). That's what makes this review so complete.

@spudit20037 жыл бұрын
We are lucky, we can watch a review the length of an episode of TG 20yrs ago, which would give you a 8min review tops on any single car, and that was about the extent of your choice. And we can watch more reviews of the cars we like, from people with vary degrees of talent and knowledge. Harry is the best for in depth and quality, I do like Doug for entertainment and is doing an interesting variety lately. Best thing about Harry though is he does older supercars too! Not just the lastest tech laden superfast cars which most of the 'star youtubers' tend to chase.

It's so refreshing to hear an honest car review, so many reviews these days (even EVO magazine is occasionally guilty of it) are all rosy and have a fake whiff about them, I totally understand why because they don't want to upset the manufacturers but this review seems more 'real'. Maybe it's because Harry is one of the most experienced in the business.

I'm not a big fan of the interior. The Exterior i don't like at all. The aggressiveness seems to be lost, what i did like was the Aston Martin Lagonda. Whole different ballpark, but so much better when grown up
@mcdick7 жыл бұрын
My problem is the interior. In my opinion you really should not _see_ any technology in Aston. All visible elements should be natural and mechanical. Especially those instrument clusters. It kinda looks cheap. Problem with gadgets is that they age so fast. And I like to think Astons as ageless pieces of art. What I would like to see is more like modern take on '20s and '30s speedboat-for-the-road. On practical note it was -26,5C last morning and winter is just starting. LCD:s do not really work when temps are below -10C. It's not really convenient to have speedo that cannot show the speed. I've experienced this in quite many modern cars lately.
