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.
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.
I think that part is realistic though, it’s important how cars feel on normal roads too.
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.
