So my friend has been doing car reviews alongside his brand for a little while now. I gave him my keys to see what he thought.

What do you guys think; a fair review?

I think Matt will give him the rallye once it's on the road!

Yeh, would be awesome for him to give that a go and compare to similar NA engined cars!
Think he'll be impressed Big Grin

I almost watched it through, but the way he chops up his audio every second eventually did my head in - from what I saw, all very nice Smile

Yep, that's Dans. 

He's taken a bit of advice and there's a lot less 'chopping' in the reviews now

Should of got some background info on the car beforehand, like the non standard parts i.e interior and foglights etc but other than that not a bad review Smile

informative, but got irritated at how overly edited it really is. 1 sentence was edited about 15 times.
