Chris already shat on it (on Instagram) for the looks (the M performance loaded red G8x). I can't wait for his driving reviews. This is also why I love his reviews. He speaks his mind and doesn't kiss BMW's ass like many of the "influencers".
Dude your userid lol. I had to come back and read it agin haha.

I used to like him quite a bit but he is kind of annoying. To me his car reviews are almost the same,just insert a different car name. No doubt he is a serious car enthusiast and reviews nice cars people want to see. My favorite though is Matt Watson

I was digging The Smoking Tire review until Matt F said the Civic type R has a better shifter, better steering feel and a more connected road feel."What the hell BMW! That car is half the price! Nothing on a civic should be at the level of an M3/4.

Car & Driver because only they have a rolling acceleration test 5-60mph (correct me if I am wrong). Unlike 1/4 mile and 0-60mph tests the rolling acceleration test is actually applicable to everyday driving, that's why I am looking forward to it the most (I even have a little spreadsheet ready). Here is a little interesting tidbit: Cayman is actually slower between 5-60mph than my old trusty M235i (6.1 vs 5.8 secs). It kindof put me off that car.

The Cayman is slower than A LOT of cars, until the road features a few bends... And the more the road curves, the better the Cayman gets. It's a wonderful chassis, so tossable, balanced and playful, with so-much-feel steering.

It's worth losing stop light races to have such a sublime sports car, if you're into that kind of thing. But stoplight hero it will never be, it's built for a different purpose altogether. Indeed, that's not the car for you.

The voters called it. Throttle House did an amazing job with their review.
