I am really surprised of the issue here since of course I share my content with people who will be most interested in seeing it. If that is breaking any rule here the please ask the admin to remove this post and I will delete my account. Cheers.

Surprised at people telling you that your content is commercial in nature? I'm not, given your motives for pushing your own content.

If you just do it for fun, why do you monetize your videos?

Haha great. :bonk:

Like I said if there was an issue it would already be gone. As Ashi, I was also just commenting on the other post and the fact we had 3 in a short period looking for Likes. It was nota criticism just and observation.
Let's face it if you are making money from the number of Likes or views you get and you specifically ask for them then it is technically a "commercial" thread and there are rules for that.
All is good in the world.

Alright, sounds good then :cheers:

You have got to be kidding me. Do you know how much this sort of production costs to make!? I would be literally re*arded not to share it with car enthusiasts (which you seem not to be). Sharing your video with people who are interested (or should be interested) in this content, has nothing to do with a commercial purpose. I am not gonna waste my time discussing. If you have any problem with it, report it. It's your right. :popcorn:

Alex C always has an attitude on the forum ignore that.

I wanted to hear about what you didn't like. You held back. Besides an extra 100 hp, what else would you have wanted to change?

Not much to be honest. I mean whatever I will criticize, you can rectify with the price. It really is a very good car overall. Not often that I have nothing to complain about except for the power. I mean it was back in January that I drove the car, but if there was something that I truly would have disliked, I would remember.

The seats aren't the best but they work, the interior is a bit cheap but you get what you pay for and the NAV does the job even it's not the best as well. But it guided me all over Europe (with just minor bugs). A bit more torque at low revs would be not a bad idea too ;)

I don't care for reporting anything. I'm merely pointing out that 1) commercial posts without paying for sponsorship is frowned upon, as others have pointed out, and 2) your stuff (being monetized) is basically a commercial post, on purpose or not.

If you have a problem with what I wrote, perhaps it's because you made a new account to share content with others that seems like random spam/advertisement out of nowhere, and people are pointing out the commercial nature of the content. If you were participating in the forums for months and then posted content (see: Dezoris), then virtually no one will have any issues. Nothing more.

Enjoy making the videos. Hope you make your money back.

Isn't this review like 3 years too late? And why post it here, when we all already own the car?

Up next he'll review that new 2003 Mazda RX8.

Also, Kai, you said, "You can drift it a little bit, but, then there's a little bit power missing, to keep the car go sideways."

You realize this car has traction control that cuts power when you skid, right? And that you can turn it off? If you want to drift the car, you have to turn off the nannies, and then it has plenty of power to drift all over the place.

I'm not so much concerned about the spam. But a three year late review that gets some basic, very well-known info about the car wrong?

Meh.

Between the car being on the market for some time and the vast majority of posters here being owners, there really isn't all that much you can do in a short video to take our collective breaths away.

For what it's worth I enjoyed the review. Its not all that often that I see a reviewer wind the car out proper and those back roads looked really nice!

You think I am a Gran Turismo kid or something? Have you by any chance seen any of my other videos? You seriously think we leave the traction control on when we try do drift the car? :bonk::bellyroll::sigh:

And a review is never late... our magazine just had the GT86 in it. It's a very normal thing to do. Sorry you didn't enjoy the video.

That's why I share it with you guys as well. But I have to say, it's probably the last time I post anything here :thumbdown:

Never had such a hostile forum experience and I am on at least 9 car forums.

Anyways :burnrubber:
