@@sabersz Rory is quite dishonest though. You can tell that he is a presenter that doesn't really care about cars. He just wants views on youtube. I recommend Autogefühl.

I believe that Mat could be the only person able to return Top Gear to its former greatness. Of course no one could really predict how that would go, but it would certainly be the only thing to make me come back to watching it. Just imagine Mat going on those Top Gear special/ Grand Tour style adventures; i would be sooo happy about that, but even the regular episodes would probably be a blast to watch.
That dreadful brummie accent means he should never be allowed near a camera full stop, add in the fact he laughs at his own jokes (which arent funny) just means NO
Carwow is by a margin the most consistent car reviewer in the English speaking world. If they have a full review up for a car and filmed in the UK, I KNOW for a fact what will be tested and reviewed in the video. Alot of car websites and reviewers are inconsistent with what they show and how in depth they go in the review. I live in America and If I'm looking at a car that's also sold in the UK, I trust carwow to give me the most information on it.
Ammm Evo , autocar , autoexpress ? Yes they aren't as consistent anymore with social media they still are more of a magazine The reviews are way more in depth and are more for the* car guys" Car wow is more approachable for all, funny , and for the clicks.

I told myself that 1hr was too long for RUclips but then this proved me wrong. Watched it all in a sitting. I can't pinpoint why but I just loved it all. Matt has an interesting personality, one I was raised to think of as "unserious" but I watch almost every Car Wow video. If the world were filled with people like me, it'd be a boring place to live in.
I'm really pleased that Matt's opinion of Kia and Hyundai have changed. They're on fire at the moment. That was a great interview. Can't believe that it was over an hour.
The car Matt Drove was a McMurtry car a one-seater hypercar which has a vacuum system which sucks itself to the road at all times so it has maximum downforce he drove it in 7.6 seconds to a quarter mile it broke the hill climb record as well. It's an amazing car and you can buy one for the road the suction is adjustable and the power is as well you can dial in the HP upto a 1000 hp or you can dial it down for road use.
I agree with Mat, 205 GTi best hot hatch that I've had through the years. Upgraded the engine to the 405 Mi16 with 45 webbers took that car up to 185bhp with no rev limiter.
Lot of respect for Mat. Intelligent, articulate, humble and full of common sense. Also wiling wiling push back and give his opinions. Deserves all the success

Thanks for getting Matt on your show! It seems personable in person just like in his carwow videos!!! It’s nice to know who Matt is since I watch him almost everyday
I followed Matt since before Carwow. When he went to Carwow I started to unsubscribe the previous channel he was at and been a loyal viewer since. Carwow success is because of Matt no question asked.
Although I'm not live in the UK. It's still interesting to watch CARWOW review. I'm in fond of the fact that they always reveal the true price at first . It's a crucial factor for a normal person to consider a daily vehicle. Some channels just discuss FANCY tech, however, we still need to search for the price by ourselves in the end .
No Mat is telling you he does not understand Tesla as an investor. And his hunch about valuation of the business is a classical investment mistake but you can tell that his interest in passive investment shows that. I think his honest is fresh on the issue. On a financial basis Tesla valuation seems to show that its intrinsic value is far lower than the market valuation. The problem with all of that is the financials do not give a true metric of long term valuation. Try doing that to the valuation of Apple and Microsoft in 1985. You would be way off the market if you used pure financials.
@@jasper5097 Plus Tesla is growing at 50% AVG per year where as Toyota is shrinking. Unfortunately, Mat has no idea what he's talking about with Tesla's valuation. But that's why he's just invested in index funds.
Enjoyed the piece very informative. Matt is a natural. Enjoyed the discussion on money much less. The young chap talked about £50k a month earnings, if I heard itvright. I work like mad for £50k a year. Don't need it rubbing in. Thats why we don't talk about money.
I live in a place where people have a lot of wealth but they do not flaunt it. That young boy lacks class. I bet the lad from Walsall was not impressed.
Funny to see Tesla fans pitching Matt that same tired line about Tesla being a tech company. Tesla doesn't sell tech, does not generate any income from licensing technology. On its revenue statements almost all income comes from selling cars with just a trickle from their side gigs in solar/battery and just a touch of insurance. Maybe there is the possibility of sometime in the future licensing their tech but they aren't pursuing it today.
Growing up watching top gear on a Sunday night with the old man. Then when it all came to a end with grand tour. Thought no one else I’ll really enjoy as much. But times change and carwow is the best replacement.

I love Matt Watson. He's funny, competent, and has a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor. It is astonishing to hear someone in his position and, with his experience, miss the boat so completely on Toyota. Toyota has no compelling electric vehicles, is committed to hydrogen obfuscation and bullshit, including the utter nonsense of a hydrogen combustion engine, and is even lobbying at this point to rollback emissions so that they can get a fig Leaf to cover up their total lack of real commitment to electrification. They also appear to be committed to serial lying about their genuinely mythical solid-state battery, which they've been promising year-to-year for many years, a far worse example of Elon's over-promising on full self-driving. Not only that but since Toyota and virtually all the other Japanese car companies have already crashed in China and are headed for bankruptcy or at least severe marginalization, they are going to take the Japanese economy with them. It's astonishing and frankly disappointing that Matt does not appear to see any of that.
i love the fact he says " he likes value for money" even though he reviews the very expensive cars he hasn't tried to shit on the cheaper cars that 90% of us actually could afford to drive.
Sometimes charging can be a great social experience. Other drivers tend to talk about their car and experience. I recently paid for a charge with my phone for a couple that couldn't get their bank card to work. I used my phone to start their charging session and they gave me some cash, I realised they'd overpaid and gave them a tenner back.
Mat not being paid for the YT channel is ridiculous other than he being the majority owner of Carwow. Guy's being ripped off. Lawyer up and get the bag, Mat.
He has shares in Carwow and I assume Carwow gets the money form RUclips. Therefore he is basically in the end getting money out of it plus getting paid a wage which is probably substantial just like anyone else working for a company at the end of the day.
@@jackpassfield9141 ... that's my point altogether: Mat's being ripped off. He has Clarkson-like recognition in a vehicle that was created by him. Its ridiculous he isn't paid millions alone yearly just in image rights.

Toyota has no compelling electric vehicles, is committed to hydrogen obfuscation and bullshit, including the utter nonsense of a hydrogen combustion engine, and is even lobbying at this point to rollback emissions so that they can get a fig Leaf to cover up their total lack of real commitment to electrification. They also appear to be committed to serial lying about their genuinely mythical solid-state battery, which they've been promising year-to-year for many years, a far worse example of Elon's over-promising on full self-driving. Not only that but since Toyota and virtually all the other Japanese car companies have already crashed in China and are headed for bankruptcy or at least severe marginalization, they are going to take the Japanese economy with them. It's astonishing and frankly disappointing that Matt does not appear to see any of that.
Agreed
i love the fact he says " he likes value for money" even though he reviews the very expensive cars he hasn't tried to shit on the cheaper cars that 90% of us actually could afford to drive.
You're poor 😂

Definitely one of the best podcasts I’ve heard in a long time.
Sometimes charging can be a great social experience. Other drivers tend to talk about their car and experience. I recently paid for a charge with my phone for a couple that couldn't get their bank card to work. I used my phone to start their charging session and they gave me some cash, I realised they'd overpaid and gave them a tenner back.
It's all because of Mat. Wouldn't work without his unique ways.
Great podcast as always
So happy this podcast is out!
Why do you all wear headphones?
Matt should be heading up Top Gear. 100%.
Mat is spot on with his comments on electric cars.
Matt Watson is the perfect replacement for JC on TG. He is much funnier and likable than any of the three current presenters.
Mat not being paid for the YT channel is ridiculous other than he being the majority owner of Carwow. Guy's being ripped off. Lawyer up and get the bag, Mat.
Mat does not own Carwow. Go and look it up if you do not believe me.
He has shares in Carwow and I assume Carwow gets the money form RUclips. Therefore he is basically in the end getting money out of it plus getting paid a wage which is probably substantial just like anyone else working for a company at the end of the day.
@@jackpassfield9141 ... that's my point altogether: Mat's being ripped off. He has Clarkson-like recognition in a vehicle that was created by him. Its ridiculous he isn't paid millions alone yearly just in image rights.
