Meh,

dude acts like its the most amazing thing ever. It's a 25 year old car that they sell on Japanese import website for $20k in good condition. That's less than any new car out there. Sure, it's a car with a great history. But it's a $20k car no matter how you slice it

Its all about $.

When My E63 Wagon was new, the dealership service department used to come to a halt when I pulled in for service considering at the time it was the only E63 Wagon in the entire state of North Carolina.. 7 years later, they just say, Your car is ready, let me walk you to the cashier. every now and again the sales guys would say you wanna trade it in, but the special factor is no more..

15 years ago, same thing used to happen with my Supra. Only a few old timers at the Toyota dealer would recognize the car, Most newer techs never seen the car and were burdened to work on it b/c they didn't know what the hell it was or it was just too complicated and they would rather work on a camry/corolla. I used to leave the wastegate actuator vacuum line disconnected so the car would fuelcut if they tried to joyride the car

Ya that was dumb, his articles are usually kind of funny, but he lost me when he lied about it being a 2010...

As someone who owns an R32 myself and has had it serviced by a regular Nissan dealership I've lost interest in Doug DeMuro's articles for a while now since a lot of the things he does just seem to be intentional clickbait rather than what a normal enthusiast would do with such a car. The fact he lied about the car to the dealership before bringing it in just shows me he was trying to make it a bigger deal than it needed to be.

Yeah it seems like he's trying to see how much of an issue he can have out of owning this car. More power to him. I am a Nissan dealer service writer and I would have been glad and excited to have him visit my dealership.

I am not a fan of his reviews. He tries to be funny but doesn't have the personality nor presentation to carry it. I cringed multiple times when I watched him attempt to be funny on the Murano Cabriolet. Cringe moment number 1, number 2 , and number 3. We get it, you don't like the car! No need to recycle an unfunny joke over and over again.

Oh, I know the feeling. He did an article "comparing" his R32 to the Scion FR-S (both of which I own myself) and his basic conclusion was "the R32 is awesome but the FR-S has a warranty and easy parts availability". No duh? Really? Could have told you that without driving the cars! Care to tell us about the handling, the ergos, fit and finish, the ownership experience - you know, all the important things about a car that you can't tell without actually having one on hand?

He writes humorously but it's not enough if there's no substance. And his jokes aren't always that funny like you said anyway.

I enjoyed his first few articles and thought it was kinda cool to share the experience. But now it's like he's forcing the issue to create content for a story...he has successfully jumped the shark.
