Why so little views?! this blows the repetitive and boring "journalists" out of the water. this guy is much more professional, well spoken, and thorough.
+Anon ymous Thanks so much! I do want to update with reviews more frequently. However, at present it is mostly a one man show with some friends helping out, so it's not always easy to get the frequency. I'm aiming to do more frequent updates this year in 2016!
Best GT3 review! Better than Chris Harris'. Difference is CH usually pushes the cars harder and does take it to the track (though, CH might have been a professional race car driver). More animated. But this guy does good real world driving which is important. Always brings up a lot of good points not mentioned by other journalists...mostly. His CZcams reviews are definitely worth watching/listening to. I've just subscribed. :) Keep up the great work!! He knows his stuff!! And I'm happy to see Driving Vancouver didn't not hire him because he's Chinese. Showing people Chinese people do know cars and CAN DRIVE. Helping squash that nasty racist stereotype. Have you reviewed the 2015 or 2016 Jag F-Type R? If not I hope you do soon. Love to hear your view and impressions. Or wait for the replacement...the rumoured 600 HP SVR. How about the new Ferrari 488 GTB, Ferrari Speciale... Just visited your website. Thought you were working for some new show based about of Vancouver. Surprised no one's hired you yet. Top Gear should see this...though, I'm not sure if TG is still on the air. I think they recently stopped filming? Hope I'm wrong. Motoring 2016 (based out of Toronto) should see your videos. Professionally shot and cars reviewed. Puts most "professional" journalists/reviews to shame.
This guy is good but not better than Chris Harris. They are different and talk to different persons. This guy is much more "mental and rational". Chris Harris is purely "emotional".
One of the Best GT3 reviews that I´ve seen so far .. Im from Mexico and Im driving the exactly same GT3 as shown in the video and its true .. leaves you speechless... Congratulations Sam...
Very enjoyable review! I enjoy your honesty and purity in speaking. You are very lucky to have a GT3 and I will be joining the club soon. Thanks for sharing and please share some onboard or preferably POV driving your 997 GT3...
Wow, great review of the car. Definitely subscribed, and I hope to see more content! Given your extensive background, I'd love more input on other various aspects of the car (interior, looks, etc.) and longer videos. Cheers!
+Ahsan Uddin Hi Ahsan! Thank you for subscribing and commenting. The interior is really superb. Far better than any 997 generation of 911. The 981 and 991 have really moved the game on and it's now at a level where I have no complaints in layout, style or quality of the materials or fit and finish. I've just picked up my GT4. So will be doing a review on that, and also compared against the 991 GT3 and the RS this year. Stay tuned and hit me up on instagram and twitter for the latest updates @driveopolis
Better than Mezger? I wonder if it can hit hundreds of thousands of miles. And these burned themselves at first. But it is an impressive engine. Hope they’re reliable.
Well, it's been a few years and since the early engine replacements this engine has been going strong. For a while these 991.1s were a good value used!
The perfect sports car in my book and the price tag isn't that high either! But Sam, let me ask you this, do you or will you owe this car and how does it compare to your R8?
+thaik56 I think this is much more of a purist driving experience compared to the R8. The R8 is the looker, this one is the race car. The newest R8 could be a different story though! I think I would prefer the GT3 compared to the outgoing R8.
I agree, nice review....Is it possible to do a comparison of the 997 GT3 and the 997 Turbo? I would love to hear your thoughts about the two, these are one my choices for a car purchase. Thank you
+betaswan That's a great question. I think the 997 Turbo is more sophisticated/polished feeling while the GT3 is more of a raw unfiltered feel. I think you really have to drive both to make a decision. It's down to preference. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Great to watch this review again! Can you tell me where this video was shot? I know you provided a link but it doesn’t work. It looks like somewhere near Pemberton. It’s almost driving season and I cannot wait to take the P car out! Thanks!!
+InsideSomething That's a fantastic idea and something I've been trying to put together. Hopefully soon. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
In between Whistler and Lilouett. If you want to see some nice drives, consider this following website: members.shaw.ca/bjs1/interesting_roads_main.htm
+driveopolis Haha, thanks. You definitely deserve more subscribers in my opinion... I recently sold my 12' STI and bought a 14' GTR track edition. I'll be throwing up a few vids of it shortly.
+Sameer Rao The ride is definitely firm but I would not hesitate to daily drive it. It's not harsh, just very firm. And you'll have to put up with a bit more road noise from the cup2s.
+driveopolis Thanks for replying. You are doing an awesome job with your videos. If you have any links for good roads in Ontario please post them here. Thank you.
I think it's important to drive safely and respect the posted limit no matter where we are... and if you want to truly open up the S4, you already know where I would suggest. The track!! :)
You're well spoken and obviously know your stuff. Keep the reviews coming; I'd like to see your take on more cars in the future.
+kurdish Thank you sir!

+Maximvs Victa Good choices. I dig it.
One of the best review on GT3, thanks
Next time please add more exhaust sound
+Pranab Cherambakad Thanks for watching, I love exhaust sounds too. Will work in more of it next time.
Great writing and review Sam ! Looking forward to the GT3 vs. RS. vs. GT4 shootout
+Eric Desarmia Thanks Eric! It's going to be a bit of a challenge to make this one happen but I'm working on it!
Wow, great review of the car. Definitely subscribed, and I hope to see more content! Given your extensive background, I'd love more input on other various aspects of the car (interior, looks, etc.) and longer videos.

Man you have great reviews, you should also do walkthroughs of the cars!

+SAFFY7411 Thank you!
I believe you +driveopolis ! Well done!
Thank you for the bringing this review to us!
+hyungwoo0312 My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Brilliant job ! I watch tons of car reviews ! You are right up there with Chris Harris.. BRAVO"
Wow! Thank you for the extremely kind comment, Steven!
Great review and excellent job at comparing this to the 997 GT3. Thanks
+Hubert Le Van Gong Thank you!
so a 2015 gt3 or brand new gt4? for mostly canyon carving and daily use with rare track/autox?
I would do GT4 if you cared about having one in a manual. Otherwise I would go GT3. The GT3 is better.
very much like you;re Reviews but one could sense that you read EVO as well :)
+Bjoern Buesing Haha! I think we all grew up reading -- and now watching -- EVO mag. They rule!
Well but you can, just swap the steering control unit. Done. Not the same, but it will improve.
great review, I've just subbed also. keep it up mate!
+superflea72 Thanks! I appreciate it.
The perfect sports car in my book and the price tag isn't that high either!

Great to watch this review again! Can you tell me where this video was shot? I know you provided a link but it doesn’t work. It looks like somewhere near Pemberton. It’s almost driving season and I cannot wait to take the P car out! Thanks!!
Hey buddy! Look up Duffy Lake Road.
Please also review a 996 GT3 for comparison to the 991 and 997
+InsideSomething That's a fantastic idea and something I've been trying to put together. Hopefully soon. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
The same exact car we have. Thanks for the review...
+Pearl D Thanks pearl! Enjoy the 991 GT3 in good health. You're very lucky to own one!
Don't tell me you got rid of your 997? Great review btw, subbed.
you're very articulate and nice review
Thank you for a great review ...
+Jelani Daniel My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Spot on review
+GGunny Thanks!!
how is your English so outrageously polished?
+Carphile LOL, thanks!
Phenomenal car and beautiful scenery. Where was this filmed?
In between Whistler and Lilouett. If you want to see some nice drives, consider this following website:

Top class review dude
Thanks man. I appreciate you checking out so many of my videos! You rock!
Nice review - subscribed
+Streetbikechamp Thanks! I checked out some of your stuff too. CBR600RR, I had one too! An '07.
+driveopolis Haha, thanks. You definitely deserve more subscribers in my opinion... I recently sold my 12' STI and bought a 14' GTR track edition. I'll be throwing up a few vids of it shortly.
Oh, that's a big upgrade. Looking forward to them.
Nice review man love it
Thanks again!
really enjoyed the review!
+Baby_Goat Thank you!
good review
+coawler oz Thanks coawler!
How was the ride? Is it daily drivable to you?
+Sameer Rao The ride is definitely firm but I would not hesitate to daily drive it. It's not harsh, just very firm. And you'll have to put up with a bit more road noise from the cup2s.
wow, another excellent review, 9000rpm!!! must be nice lol!
+Mr La Thanks Mr. La! Yes, 9k rpm is really something.
Where is this road located at? Please reply.
+SilentGameplays Hey, the following is the site I use to find good roads in BC:
members.shaw.ca/bjs1/interesting_roads_main.htm
+driveopolis Thanks for replying. You are doing an awesome job with your videos. If you have any links for good roads in Ontario please post them here. Thank you.
which roads are these..? Great review.
+eliteowner121 Hey, the following is the site I use to find good roads in BC.
members.shaw.ca/bjs1/interesting_roads_main.htm
Thank you!! Didn't know BC had so many!
Anytime! Only down side is that most of those are at least a half day drive. But they are worth the trouble.
+driveopolis are there a lot of rcmp officers out there? It would be nice to open up my S4 without feeling worried!
I think it's important to drive safely and respect the posted limit no matter where we are... and if you want to truly open up the S4, you already know where I would suggest. The track!! :)
where is this road?
+craig suzuki Try this site here!
members.shaw.ca/bjs1/interesting_roads_main.htm
Great accent. Just close your eyes and picture Bruce Lee talking about how the paaawrche is like wuaaater, and how it becomes the couuup!
Haha, thanks for the comment. I wish I could actually sound like Bruce Lee!
I trust this guy. lol
991 gtr or AMG GTS ??
+Powaup Do you mean the 991 GT3? I think it's a tough call until I've driven the AMG GTS but it looks very exciting.
+driveopolis yea sorry meant Gt3. But I guess the upcoming 991r could be a contender for manual die hards
Totally. I think the 911R could be the one to have. The price could be a killer though.
Great detailed review! I can only hope to get such a cool car to review. Here's my latest Porsche vid.
