My current car was well-reviewed when new but had a cosmically stupid timing chain design that screws over the second or third owner. But most reviewers are targeting new-car buyers.

Thinking about that made me wonder if there are channels/creators specializing in reviews of cars that have significant mileage on them. Looking at relatively recent cars and asking “how did this model actually hold up? What design flaws should second-hand buyers watch out for?”

RCR kind of ends up doing that sometimes, but it’s not really their specific focus.

Thanks!

    Most channels are limited by how much they can spend on cars long term. Throttle House and Everyday Driver come to mind for some longer term ownership reviews. Specific to Porsche incl. air cooled 911s you want to check out Rennenthusiast. Cars With Luke does modern Porsches but not sure he puts enough miles on them, currently has a GT4RS, previously a GT3 that he didn’t keep very long and a 718 GT4 before that.

    Just look up reviews until you find some channel that features a make model you’re interested in, usually there’s some interesting content out there.
