Savagegeese did give his input from the angle of comfort and luxury, since he was comparing it to his experience with the G80 which he really admires for its comfort and isolation. His full review will include the driving mechanics too and hopefully how the comfort compares to the compact sedan class instead of just vs the G80. I wonder how his overall impression will be since it didn't seem positive from that little blurb.
Right, but SG's less than enthusiastic blurb was a bit surprising since among YT reviewers, he's more on the enthusiast side of things, rather than evaluating something as a typical
daily driver (but have noticed him liking rides w/ more comfortable suspensions/rides - maybe he's getting old or maybe Michigan roads just suck so bad).
Honestly, I probably would prefer the G80 more if it weren't so heavy. I don't know why it has to be so much heavier than everything in its class
.
That's what the new G80 is supposed to address (in part).
Lighter platform/chassis, greater use of lightweight materials (higher % of ultra-tensile steel and likely will see an aluminum hood and maybe the trunk lid (have to keep in mind that the G80 is on the larger side for the midsize segment).
Cant really pinpoint it but i never liked Savagegeese and his reviews, Straight Pipes all the way though !
Like both; they're different.
The SPipers are more fun, but they don't go into nearly the detail that SG does; and he's one of the few reviewers that dives into the mechanicals (which is why he purchased his own lift, instead of having to do it at his buddy's garage/work place).
I'm with you, I like them both. Not a big fan of Alex or Redline. Alex too boring, red line is better, but both don't say enough bad things about the cars. still I like straight and savage better.
Like AoA (and Soyfan) as well, as he's pretty comprehensive.
But he's more like the Consumer Reports of YT reviews.
But my fave is probably Thomas Holland and Throttle House.
Definitely geared towards the enthusiast and Thomas gives a lot of details on the performance, handling, etc.
Plus, find him to have one of the more engaging voices/personalities.
Personally, can't stand his reviews, (both the substance and his personality/presentation), but that's what makes things great - plenty of choices.
