Top auto reviewers on YouTube

As the title suggests: who are the better & more reputable car reviewers to watch on YouTube? If they are Canadian even better.

SavageGeese gets my vote for the technical aspects. I especially like the segment where we saw the undercarriage of a vehicle. Straightpipes for entertainment value and for those that care about a vehicles appearances and infotainment.

Depends on what the purpose is for (I watch way too many car videos):

Purchasing a vehicle -
Alex on Autos (imo he provides most unbiased opinion)
Redline reviews (newer content is getting more one-sided)
Motormouth Canada (based in BC, newer content is better than old)
Andie the lab (she's new to the car review space, but does a great job covering what average consumers/families care about. also helps she has a really cute dog in her videos)

Mechanics/technical -
savagegeese (like others have said, he knows his technical aspects very well)

Entertainment -
Straight pipes (Canadian, more focused on performance/aesthetics)

I find Straightpipes getting more annoying with every video they do.

Some other Canadian reviewers to check out, Throttle House and Car Question.

But always take any reviews with a grain of salt as more and more of the YouTube reviewers get on the payola train.

YT car reviews, in general, are highly biased. In order to receive their test models for review, they really can not be "too honest" or critical of that brand or vehicle. With the increasing complexity of new cars, many YT reviewers do not possess real technical knowledge to make factual reporting.
"Engineering Explained" is the only YT automotive channel I watch. but even he is towing this drawback.
The basis for all car reviews is to gain subs and increase their revenues and find new sponsors.

Doug DeMuro and Chris Harris I enjoy watching from time to time

The most annoying guy is Shmee

A lot of them are shills. Especially when you see a dealership in the background of the video and the presenter thanks them, you automatically know it’s going to be bias.

Some of the better ones imo:

Motormouth Canada presented by Zack
Marek Drives
Test drivenow by Steve Hammes

Add Throttle House to the list - Canadian and the channel's been growing quite a bit ever since Thomas got a co-host.

Too many shills these days.

Refuse to say anything critical or they might not get access to cars

I am subscribed to Alex on Autos, Motormouth (Canadian), savagegeese and Engineering Explained. I watch Redline reviews and Straight pipes occasionally but they are too biased towards performance vehicles. Redline reviews (Sofyan) specially because he is clueless when it comes to tech. He was blasted when he said that he doesn't care about Android Auto because he has an iPhone. I mean come on you should know about that.
