Default Everybody's a Critic

Sounds like somebody is trying their best to be an unpaid Automotive Critic, and where best to do it? "You Tube"! On a car with 94,000 miles.

A person that just likes to hear himself talk. What's his motive?

This guy is a moron. My buddy is 6'4" and has plenty of leg room.

The list of things he gets wrong in this video is extensive. I better just quit here. Oy....

I do not think he is too far of the mark, but I would like to run an eye over his car though. He sounds like a Honda Prelude kinda guy to me.
Anyone who says they are 6' 1" usually do not make the 6' height unless they have shoes on, that's what I have found. To some at 6' you are a somebody, below that nagging doubts of manhood come into play for some guys. LOL
In the Psychiatric world it's called the Short Ar$e syndrome. Take two stilts and call me in the morning.

The seats are hard, everything else is hard. He drove it less than ten miles and is bitching, I drove an SRT back from Florida in a day and a bit just stopping for gas, boy would he have have bitched about those seats.

I cant believe someone would even make a video like this. What was his motivation and or goal? My car is put away for the winter and I cant wait to get behind the wheel again.

Yeah, he's not off the mark with some of his comments but ....really....not sure why he cares.

We just shoveled out from 20 inches of snow and now it's snowing again, up to 4 inches more with sleet and rain to boot. My car is safely snuggled in the garage and has been for months, I can't wait to get it out and drive it......and for quite a bit more than 5 miles. But then again, I'm only 6 feet tall.....

I've never understood the dissa[pointment of the interior of the Crossfire.

I was contemplaing a purchase of the 320 SLK in 2002. It had the salmon seats I now have. I sat init and drooled. Then i sat in my Crossfire.... Same damm interior.

It is a sports car. Minimal, utilitarian finish is appropriate.

It is a Benz. Minimal, utilitarian finish is normal.

If you want plush, cozy seats and giitchy toys,,,,,buy a BMW.

Wow...I was going to comment and found out my you tube profile has been suspended. They think this ole' Doc Holliday is dead I guess.... My name doesn't meet their new profile options....too damn bad. My father had a sense of humor....so I could not flame those idiots who obviously don't know anything about our cars. I didn't realize the Australian models were better builds.....lol

Now I'm 6'1" tall and find my 04 Coupe to be very comfortable even for a 10 hour drive with one stop for gas.

Maybe my height is more upper body length rather than leg length but my legs are not as close to the dash as the guy in the video
The seats don't seem hard to me either.
About the only thing I agree with is that our seats don't have room to recline but I am used to that now.
I have owned mine almost 7 years and traveled 70,000 miles and have loved every bit of it

As for the interior ....I like it too.

I think from seeing that video he is some self appointed car reviewer.... It was obvious as he tried to explain the features of the car that he hadn't done his homework. Those that were agreeing with him didn't know anything about these cars. It is a sports car, and interior isn't what most sporty cars are going to be known for. The knee bolster can be removed if you are a long legged 6'1" as well. We all know that. As far as the radio...I seldom listen to the radio...I like the s/c sound better. But, I like to drive the car more than I like to set back and cruise. I bought the MB for that.... Hell, that car will talk back...lol

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing this poster is glued to the ceiling over his bed.

I suspect that he wouldn't like the seats in a Cobra, an MG, a Viper or, heaven forbid, a Ferrari either. You would think a Fat A$$ would have enough cushioning.
