The EVO review was an AT. They weren't too pleased with it...

Obviously as a fanboy I'm biased, but I think this was a good "objective enough" review.

It covers all the points and reasons why you'd buy a car like this.

Cocoon-like interior, great shifter, free revving engine.

And in the end he said if you want more power, get a Mustang, if you want to be a little more nimble pick the Miata, and I think that's fair.

and he knows how a lot of the "scion nation" treat their Scions, big wheels are popular even though they are more often hideous, lol.

Great review! Succinct, efficient, tidy, and insightful. I haven't heard of this Micah fellow until now, but I'm suddenly a fan. ...I also like how he's getting into Spec Miata racing and did a 3-day Skip Barber course. Props.

I gave up on him as soon as I heard that

I'm not a big fan of sarcastic reviews just seems they try to hard to add humour and stuff in it and not serious enough of a review however probably the most unbiased review yet
