Since the car was no longer a "THING" in the market.. the story of it being sold out is also around.. but this post is just to share the opinion on the car's performance and styles in a simple way... (Hopefully)

Lousy review all over. I am no film director but could still comment a bit on his video quality.

If he is using normal home video camera, he should avoid filming somewhere reflective with shaded dimmed sunlight such as the carpark area. Failed on lighting part. He would have to do the filming on open ground with more sunlight to help with lighting.

Only thing he did ok a bit was putting 2 passengers in the rear. Mistakes he made, too much talk and empty comment. What is sports car in the first place? Based on automotive policy, sports car are cars with real low roofline with less conventional design such as Porshe, BRZ, Mazda RX8, Lamborghini, etc. Not even BMW M5 considered sports car but would be categorised as sports sedan instead. The 3 series coupe is a coupe, not sports car neither. The Koup is nothing more than a 2-door Forte. Like Camry Solara is a 2 door Camry while Altima coupe is a 2-door Altima.

When he perform the acceleration, was there a stop watch? Also, the time counter, the driver himself counted? Or fit a camera recording the speedometer first and then count from there? Did he floor both the pedal & brake with the RPM meter stuck at 2000rpm and start counting as soon as the brake is fully release? Or just start counting with normal sprinting by flooring the pedal?

Where is the handling test? Where is the bodyroll test? Where is the hard corning? Where is the 180degree and 360degree hard turn with pedal floored moving over 120km/h? He didn't try to fit 5 full size adults in it to show interior space for headroom, legroom and width inside? Didn't perform torque test on flat road and on up slope? No FC reading?
