Who’s Your Favorite Car Reviewer On YouTube?

The written word still has plenty of value (unless you work in the C-suite), but cars are more than ideas. They’re physical objects, and because of that, it’s always nice to see the thing someone’s talking about with your eyes. It’s why we add photos to our posts. Well, that, and the fact that we’re an ad-supported site, and for some reason, people don’t like clicking on image-free posts. Regardless, video reviews just make sense for cars, so it’s no surprise you can find so many car review channels on YouTube.

Of course, you can find plenty of videos the big sites and buff books post, but anyone with a data connection now has access to far more than just a few channels that have big budgets and high production value. Of course, the flip side of that is that anyone with a phone can record their thoughts and put them on the internet, whether those thoughts are worth listening to or not. Or maybe their videos are fine, but their review style just isn’t for you. It happens.

Normally, QOTDs get a lot more comments when we go negative, but complaining about creators whose channels we don’t enjoy feels unnecessary and mean. Instead, let’s try being positive for a change and focus on the channels you default to when you’re looking for a car review. The lesser-known channels you secretly love. The reviewers whose priorities align perfectly with your own. Let’s talk about those channels and reviewers. 

Also, since I’m a jerk who wants to see you get a little creative, I’m going to go ahead and take John Davis off the board. He’s an automotive hero, a longtime advocate for public television, an NC State grad (which matters a lot in my family), and perhaps most importantly, he’s a little too obvious. He’s the John Davis. Now go forth and let us know down in the comments who else you love watching for car reviews.
