I really like most StraightPipes reviews as the guys do a great job. But I felt Yuri's opinions were harsh about the TLX.

If you watch TheTopher's review of the TLX, you wonder if him and Yuri are talking about the same car (one loves the 10-spd transmission and one hates it).

Yuri/Jakob even commented about why Acura didn't use the ZF-8 speed instead. I am surprised he didn't know that it cannot be used with transverse mounted engines like that on the TLX.

I had to watch AlexOnAutos for a more factual review.
Not a fan of them and rarely watch them for driving impressions, they tend to talk a bit too much about the tech and Yuri goes off on the most random tidbits and tend to gloss over important parts about driving dynamics. Of the Canadian duo's, I much prefer Throttle House.
