Team Speed‘s Five Auto Influencers You Should Be Watching

Matt Maran (Matt Maran Motoring)

The best automotive journalists are knowledgeable and authoritative while still being approachable and relatable. Matt Maran definitely fits this bill. He’s been operating the YouTube channel Matt Maran Motoring since 2006. And he’s come a long way since initially posting 30-second snippets of exotics revving at car shows. Today, he’s one of the best video reviewers in the game. From his early hand-shot reviews (under the name SubaruWRXFan) to today’s slicker videos, one thing comes across: This guy loves cars. New car reviews drop every Wednesday, and weekly news round-ups drop on Fridays. Whether you’re in the market for a McLaren or a Kia, Matt’s thorough and enthusiastic videos are a great place to get a crash course on any new car out there.
