There seems to be three basic categories for these YouTube "reviewers"

1) the extremely boring monotone dealership reviews where they just read a script and are genuinely surprised as they discover features while making the video.

2) The throbbing Eurobeat background teenager that obviously has no clue what they are talking about but they sure are enthusiastic.

3) The standard Bro Bot (love the term) with the flailing arms and meth head jerky movements that may or may not know what they are talking about but the viewers never can be sure due to the manic motion.

Generally I have about a 5 minute tolerance level for these reviewers. Not that I spend a whole pile of time looking at car reviews anyway.

I did spend some time on the Hakone reviews and found one that was sort of a middle ground.
Funny, reasonably clam and informative
