Quite possibly the silliest 1M video review



Speechless...

Minor damage to the middle lower part of the front bumper (small dent).
For the rest, too bad the car was not cleaned before shooting the video.

Don't know who she is but if she's a good racer keep her racing cars and not reviewing them. Her voice is not made for this and her grasp of the English language is not up to par.

So I just watched some other videos from "RoadFly TV" and they are all pretty bad - I know its just YouTube but there are a lot of online only reviewers now a days that do a great job compared to this group.

I think she would be a lot more entertaining if they put some lingerie on her and just let her pose around the car.

This review is filled with innuendo. I'm sure that if these words were coming from a guy we wouldn't give it a second thought (with the exception of the last quote, below).

e.g.:

"As a driver, what matters to me most, is how the car feels under my butt."

"So, first impressions are kind of a big deal, so when I first pulled out of Roadfly HQ, I wanted to see what it would give me..."

"It didn't take much throttle to break the rear end loose. I liked it."

"I like for a car to do exactly what I want it to do, exactly when I tell it to do it."

"And it's very responsive, and that's great. And that's how I like my men, too."

No kidding. Possibly the best recording of the exhaust/intake sound I've heard in any review. Go figure...

The handling is better because they removed the moonroof to lower the center of gravity. WTFBH?

I was thinking the same thing. In addition to weight reduction, it must lower the center of gravity some.

"As a driver, what matters to me most, is how the car feels under my butt."

Might have been a reference to the center of gravity reasoning too.
