    Nope not a chance guys, I just love writing about cars, especially my beloved VW Golfs. Honestly I wouldn't mind selling Golfs to people but with all the opinions out there about salespeople best to stay away... I'm wanting to just start writing nice articles and reviews about cars, big hobby of mine. Maybe one day I can become a journo... Trust me on this one guys, you won't find a more obsessed, passionate Golf enthusiast than myself!

    Golf7,

    Your obsessive golf posts so far would make me give caution to your car reviews...
    I can already tell that you would be too biased to provide us with an honest review.
    From what I've been reading through your posts so far... the golf 7 is pretty much perfect...

    I agree, although to be honest, all the video reviews I've seen of this car feature the driver pausing for a few seconds while they try to think of some negatives.

    He's equally as vocal about other cars on his blog, but I would recommend toning it down a bit to come across as more of an expert/professional. Perhaps experienced journalists find this easier because they've driven much more expensive cars before

    Agreed

    Passionately writing about a car you like is fine, but your target audience must feel as though you are independent. Having seen this sort of thing before in other industries, someone looking at your posts could think that you were from a marketing firm doing some "social media" marketing for the Golf.

    Can't help it guys, this car is just that good. OK fine, its styling is rather boring or should I say exuding class... Thanks for the advice guys, I'll just regurgitate the spec-sheet like everyone does, filling every line with puns and cliches... No seriously, I'll try and find some flaws in the car! Thanks for the tips!

    hehe, rather than say "it's awesome" like you were reviewing a video game, perhaps try using the format xxxxxxxxx (feature) is xxxxxxxxxxxxx (good/bad/useful/unnecessary/etc) because xxxxxxxxxxxx (reason/real life scenario).

    A bit toooo enthusiastic I admit and a bit toooo over the top. But remember these aren't my reviews, merely just small snippets of praise for the Golf. And hey we're all VW enthusiasts here aren't we? I know you guys will love my review, well I hope so anyway...

    And he's completely right! Great video! Those who have driven a Mk.7 will agree with me.
