Wasn't that the point of the video? There's plenty of other videos out there if you are looking for a general review.

Not sure I get knocking the channel because he's pointed out some issues with either the Defender or this Ford. If I was about to dip my toes in the new Raptor market, this sort of shared experience is exactly what I would be wanting to know about.

Can anyone take issue with the actual facts he's pointing out?

They are buying far more cars than the average person, so maybe it shows what a war zone it actually is and the lucky ones are those that manage to navigate it without any major issues?

Not sure if that was aimed at me. My point was that after 5 1/2 minutes he still hadn’t said what the issue with the Raptor was. I gave up after that. All he’d waffled on about was his interaction with different dealerships and their sales techniques when he was in the buying process. We’ve all been there - and I don’t think that was meant to be the point of the video. MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER

But it also shows that even they, with all their car buying experience, still fall into the shiny new car trap loads of us can fall into without being extremely careful.......... like looking over the vehicle in depth before handing over the dosh. It is hard not to want to get into your lovely new car and get out of the salesman’s grip and drive off over the horizon. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

What is it with these reviewers? It took him 5min 40sec just to tell us how he bought a Raptor. Get to the point! Banging Head

its called padding - and I hate it!

TV companies do it all the time too, especially with quiz shows - the worst being Pointless (where there's about 90 seconds of actual action padded out to nearly 30 minutes)

No idea, I came across it on google. I would just credit Topgear.
