The thing I don't like about his car reviews is that he deliberately scripts them to take as long as possible to say anything to try to get people to watch a 20 minute video that should take 12 minutes. "Next up we look at another curious feature in the interior, not something you see every day, and that would be... the window wiper switch. Yes, this car has a switch for the window wipers, and you can see it's located over here, next to the hazard lights, where you wouldn't expect to find a window wiper switch. You flip it up for on and down for off. Very unusual decision, but that's what they decided to do here." Over and over and over.

Agree 100%. I fast forward the quirks and features bit more often than not because it's mainly nonsense. I also stop before the Doug Score because IDGAF about that. And yeah, he's annoying, but he's authentic. James and Thomas from TH are try-hards (IMO)...they act like how they think cool/chill car reviewers should act, but I don't buy it.
Doug would be annoying to have a beer with because he'd exhaust you with his weird intense enthusiasm. James and Thomas would be annoying because you'd be cringing at their crappy jokes, cheesy style, and dooshy vibe. You'd be looking at your friends apologetically for bringing these two guys out for wings and your whole group would want to kill you. They're like total losers who think they're now cool, but they'll always be giant losers to me. I'll take Doug over those two any day. Plus - and most importantly - Doug is waaaaaaaaaay more knowledgeable about cars than the other two.
Yeah, Doug doesn't seem like the best driver. Plus, he doesn't like to keep his cars clean. I don't understand that part of him. Most car guys I know like having a clean vehicle. Every car I've ever had, no matter how lame, I've always kept generally really clean. That Doug doesn't do that with his cars bothers me more than it should.
