I agree, he is an utter utter utter bellend. WTF is a coop and wtf is the screw in the bottom of the gear stick gaiter all about? I feel robbed - mine doesn't have that. In fact, with 39k miles, the general condition of the interior of the car is not much better than mine with 114k and in some ways is a lot worse. The roof lining is hanging down at the back, the switches are bad like mine, the storage unit between the seats is hanging off and there are scratches all over the interior.

He also forgot to mention it was his countrymen that banned the rear LED lights so Maserati had to fit the Honda Prelude ones.

He is right about the manual being the one to have ;) so not too bad a review.

What a bellend.
Have you seen how many views he gets ? the guy is cleaning up.
I would imagine he is quite a well off now so in my book hes actually quite a smart cookie, we all watched it and and added to his monthly you tube paycheck so who are the suckers really ?

Not his best review he missed a lot of the cars qwerks and the story behind the car... But he did seem to like it and I agreed with with his conclusion and where it ended up on his chart above the E46 M3

Demouro himself is a bit of a bellend sure. Unlike the majority of the YouTube car reviewers he is not on the payroll of any manufacturers nor does he take freebies or long term loans from them. The cars he reviews are loaned by owners, independent dealerships or sometimes he rents them so other than his own personal bias he is fairly impartial

He's still a bellend. I don't care how many views he gets or if idiot advertisers want to feed him through YouTube, I don't like his voice and the review (or the half I could stomach) was average at best. I always prefer balanced reviews, not one that shoves his opinion down your throat at every chance, and that's just because I don't agree with some of what he said.

I'd even go so far as to say that Tim Schmee is better than him. Which is not high praise.

Firstly, i make no excuses for Muzzerati, there tech was never the greatest or the latest but he really should of mentioned the car is 15 years old, and that his 6'5" frame is not ideally suitable for any coupe , i'd like to know more about his driving ability, but his talking speed was overtaking the rev counter at times , seems to me he's robbed a lot of what clarkson and the other car guru's has said rather than his own experience .................if i didnt know better i woud almost say he is made in China

I managed 1m 46s and wanted to punch his lights out. If he said coop once more I would have launched the iPad do stopped it quick. I refer to my previous post. A big one!

I can't watch him any more. I always see a car I would like hear about and think he can't be as bad as I thought last time. Then I watch 10 secs and remember. He hurts my ears. I would love to watch it then would regret it after 10 secs so sorry I'm out.

I'm afraid Schmee is in the same batch of people I can't watch anymore. I'm happy to watch the Binky boys, Tavarish, Jarod and many others. Can't watch Hoovie any more. Again, just too annoying and much if it the voice.

The dealership he borrowed it from is a plywood shed with a tent for a repair bay. Hardly likely to offer a decent review example.

I did notice the head unit had been changed to an after marker unit. Although he clearly knows very little about the car otherwise he would know whats under the arm rest and noticed the CD slot at the front.
