Thanks for sharing, reviewer is bad tho, doesn't really say anything about the car other than the car is fast and speed he is going...

Yea Smoking Tire does great reviews IMO but this one is just throwing up a few cameras and turning laps - not their usual fare. Until I get my own I'm stuck watching others drive the 235! It was interesting to see him come out of turns in 3rd gear though.. lots of torque, lots of gears

Car looks and sounds incredible!
I don't believe this qualifies as a review, but just a ride along for the hot laps. But he really annoyed me. Why is he always up-shifting too early ... and too often? |

Pointless. Do these guys get paid for it?
He must have watched too much of Chris Harris as I could see how lame he tried to do this review same way. If you can't make a review at least shut up and drive fast. |

surprised he stays in 3rd for last corner I'm usually always in 2nd.... when I play Forza
Seems like the ZF tranny is really good in this car, if i were to get one i wonder if I would pick manual or 8zf, no cost savings from manual and the 8zf makes the car much more fuel efficient

That was fun! I love Laguna Seca and he seems to know the track pretty well.
I thought the car sounded fantastic. I agree that this wasn't much of a "review" but it was a good "impression" of the car at speed, which is what I'm most interested in. When does the M2 come out, 2016? |

So many entitled users complaining about his lack of a "review". He doesn't owe you anything, so go watch a different video.

Man people are harsh critiques! I thought he did a good job, sure its not the best review but I still got a better idea of the car than I had before I watched it.

More cameras, more angles and more information woulda been more effective, nevertheless something to look forward too. Is a 135is all one can compare this to?
