5. Autogefühl
Led by Thomas Majchrzak, this German (but English spoken) channel is all about in-depth reviews. Often lasting around 45 minutes to an hour their reviews do not miss any details. If you like to know everything about a car this is the channel for you. Reviews are split in going over the exterior, interior and driving. Thomas and the other hosts do a great job at explaining technical details, infotainment systems and design. Autogefühl covers new cars from all types of brands and price ranges, check them out if you are looking to buy a new car or if you simply want to know everything about a car.

4. carwow
Carwow is another channel to help you buy a new car. Shorter videos with a different approach, there is definitely more character to the carwow videos created by the host Mat Watson. Besides reviews carwow also posts videos of drag races with interesting line ups for example Audi RS models, Aventador x Tesla Model X and silly but entertaining comparisons like an Audi RS3 against a Jaguar I-Pace. At the end of their reviews you get an offer to buy the particular car in a specification you are looking for with a discount through the carwow website.

3. TheSmokingTire
TheSmokingTire features new cars and cars from viewers, with those cars often being (heavily) modified with excellent commentary from Matt Farah and Zack Klapman. What makes TheSmokingTire great are their 'One Takes'; unedited and unfiltered as described on the channel these videos contain 10-30 minutes of constant commentary about the cars driving ability, specs, mods, comparisons to other cars, cyclists on the road, logs on the road and more. Matt and Zack both have a great amount of technical and general knowledge about cars and combined with their presentation skill and the awesome roads in Los Angeles makes for very interesting videos. I highly recommend checking TheSmokingTire out if you (somehow) have not yet heard of them.

2. The Straight Pipes
Run by Yuri and Jakub - two friends with great chemistry - they have been doing car reviews for a little bit, and with their crisp production value and quality content they deserve every subscriber they have recently been gaining. Yuri and Jakub's friendship translates to their videos in an awesome way and adds to the enjoyability of their reviews rather than having a single reviewer talking to the camera, you feel like you're in the car with some buddies.
What I especially like about The Straight Pipes as a graphic designer is the attention to detail, every thumbnail looks great with their awesome logo and car names. Additionally the occasional animated graphics (for example to explain downforce) in their reviews is another showcase of the attention to detail that raises the production value of their reviews.
Looking into the Artlines crystal ball I can see The Straight Pipes becoming a very big channel in the future because of their consistency and their genuine approach.

1. Doug DeMuro
Hide your quirks, hide your features because Doug DeMuro is coming for all of them. Doug's videos follow along a format of showing off the car, its quirks and features, engine, watching Doug painfully get in coupe backseats, trunk, convertible top (very important if applicable). Odd things like an illustration of the particular car on the windshield or a plaque with the engine firing order on it is what you will find if you decide to venture to Doug's channel. Here is a video about Doug's top 15 quirks and features of 2018.
Doug DeMuro is one that every car guy or gal should be subscribed to. Even if his reviews get a little repetitive for you at times because of the formatted nature, sometimes a car will pop up that is so outlandish you just have to watch it. Or if unobtainable hypercars aren't your thing, Doug often posts reviews of cars like the Mazda MX-5 ND or even more pedestrian cars such as a Honda Odyssey.
The crazy thing about Doug DeMuro is that his videos usually get millions of views even if the review is about a 'normal' car and without resorting to clickbait or other modern Youtube antics. Doug DeMuro is a very genuine car guy and one of the most professional Youtubers out there (he made a video about his car review insurance).
