Podcast Doug and car guy Doug is way way better than used car salesman Doug.
I know this sub has cooled on him and Matt is well Matt but honestly this was one of the best car related listens for me this year.
I also love it when throttle house goes on smoking tire podcast.
No. Same reason I can hardly watch him nowadays.
That, and watching him drive in heavy traffic and pretend to objectively review a sports car’s handling or acceleration. He’d be going in a straight line on the freeway and move the wheel a little, or take a right turn from zero as he talked about it lmao.
Obviously a lot of people like his content but I didn’t think it was aimed at car enthusiasts.
I think that part is realistic though, it’s important how cars feel on normal roads too.
IMO his interior review/how he goes over it is the most informative and useful part of his videos.
I love his interior reviews for sure. I don’t care about anything beyond that. But I’ve watched every single Doug video since his Ferrari days. It’s really comfortable listening.
Clearly he drives it else where and is summing up his thoughts on a onetake highway jaunt
I don’t see him as some overly skilled driver but he has addressed that he often does his spirited driving off camera and the driving segments are just a stage to talk about the impressions. I believe it’s something Matt Farah has addressed as well, some audiences don’t take well to pushing a car hard on the road especially as it often involves unsafe driving. Plus with Doug it’s kinda hard to convey fast driving in his format as well.
