that's because it's on a scale and being compared with other cars. Use that tiny brain of yours for once lol.

Watch how Dave port for barstool rates his pizza. When you've looked at so many cars, to rate them all a 9 isn't right. To be a 9 imo it has to be quite the car rather then a generic car at one point that has racing roots in rallying cause of McRae mostly.

@@Jonathan-pn2dq OK... So why does the original and new MX-5's have higher fun factor score of 8 ? Hell, why does it have the same fun factor score as the other STI's he tested? He clearly has so much more fun than them. This should be at least a 7, maybe even 8, with how much he praised it.

Dougscore is relative to all the other supercars hes driven. Thats why I stopped caring about it lol

i personally feel he's a bit harsh on some catergroies particually practicality, accleration & styling

@@georgedowns4034 tbh when you only have 10 points to choose from, and the cars in the list is competing with hypercars, down until a ford truck, things get a bit blurry in the middle. I think he puts the acceleration by the numbers(0-60 and everything so it's not like it's up to him) but things like practicality will pretty much be blurry. How would you rank cars with other cars that has 2 less cupholders and a slightly bigger backseat?

Doug: I think my wife is fun to drive Doug score: 6

yall still think the DougScore is valid? lmao

That really bothered me too. He was repeating how fun it is to drive and how exciting it is and then he gives it a 6/10. What does a car have to do to get a 10/10 or even a 9 or 8??? Take him to the Bahamas???

why are you taking his subjective grades too serious? I just turn off the video when the score section starts)

@@vahankhachatryan123 ya, he goes into a car already knowing where he wants it to end up on his list. I love the guy and his videos, but his "Doug Score" is always completely bias and very, very inconsistent among cars.

@@vahankhachatryan123 That's not the point. He can give it a six, he can give it a 10, that's his prerogative. Talking it up like it's a 10 though and then giving it a 6 is just stupid. That has nothing to do with subjectivity, it's just a basic failure to be consistent within the span of a 24 min video. When that's the case you might as well skip the whole video, not just the Doug score because who the fuck knows what he really means when he says anything.

@@vahankhachatryan123 the doug score is kind of the main part of the show lol... its his signature.

No 22B is the engine configuration 2.2 LT and B is Subarus' code for a turbo engine.

@NotAPolarBear but people do except for you two 😅

@NotAPolarBear I've looked it up and the nasioc site states that illuminati 555 thing is true. My source is David Lapworth from Prodrive. I'm going to stick with my guns and believe the director of a motorsport company that was heavily inovled in the development of the car, before a load of yanks on a forum.

@NotAPolarBear my apolagies I didn't realise that they had fuck all to do with it, must of been initial D that ran the rally team then, Of which this car is based on. Also did Peter Stevens the guy from McLaren who designed the body and styling of the wrc car including the P1 have nothing to do with the 22B either ?

‘They say..’, who is ‘they’ noob?

The acceleration is on an objective scale he doesn’t decide the acceleration subjectively.

@@arvinshaygan8643 so many people are oblivious to this. It’s called a ‘Doug Score’ for a reason

Exactly, from this moment on I don't really care about the dougscore

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It is his channel and thus he can do this. I also agree with you and your comment. :-/

People love the first Volkswagen Beetle or other classic normal cars. But that doesn't mean that those cars automatically should do well on the score. Actually doug is really objective here. even though doug likes the car, he doesn't forget that it competes with modern cars of today in this list. Or cars like Rolls Royce and Bugatti.

Says the handling might be better than his Ford GT, then gives it a 6

Look at Doug's carvideos as entertainment instead of reviews and it all starts to make sense. For example: Doug actively hunts for what he calls quirks and then applies his own (American) logic to them: - "Tuned by STI" on a Subaru is a silly badge, but "High Output" on a Jeep Cherokee 4.0 that barely makes 190 HP makes perfect sense to Doug. - If a car doesn't have 4 or more cupholders, Doug thinks it's lacking in luxury. His DougScore is absurd, because he rates every vehicle on the same scale instead of deviding them into categories, as serious car reviewers would do. So in Doug's world a sporty sedan can get a 3 for acceleration even if it's the fastest in it's class, because Doug directly compares it's acceleration to that of Lamborghini's, Ferrari's etc. But again, look at it as entertainment. Doug is/acts the "typical" American: foreign cars often make no sense to him because he completely ignores that for the European and Asian markets cars are way more often built for special purposes than in the US. He "reviewed" a Mercedes people carrier for instance and complained how spartan and underpowered that car was compared to other people carriers. Doug can't/won't grasp that Mercedes builds those specific cars for a special purpose: to be used as an airport taxi for families or groups. They're workhorses and therefore it doesn't make sense to equip them with powerful engines and luxury.

Something tells me he's either trying to rank it amongst his previous Doug scores or he's provoking outrage to get us to comment.

Because theres nothing that impressive about it besides its production numbers

@Munshat Rahman a car doesnt need to be super fast like a supercartt to be fun to drive

Ty

I hear Dirtfish is still open

Imagine that a bone stock Neon SRT4 got the same fun factor score as a freaking 22B.. I think Doug needs to drive these cars back to back to revive his memory of what fun means

Dough feel sometimes - Retarded - or hate some car types or do that in reason to not put some cars higher,he clearly enjoy whole ride and than give Fun factor 6..

@Munshat Rahman I do love daddy Doug. Usually his Dougscore is okay but sometimes can be ridiculous such as the Bentley Limo that has 2 extra tiny rear seats and a giant trunk only gets a decent sedan Practicality of 5/10.

Fun factor just depends on what mood he's in. The Dougscore is worthless.

Doug has been adjusting his component scores to match the composite to challengers. The score is basically total BS.

Wife to Doug: how was that baby, on a scale from 1-10? Doug: That might have been the best orgasm I've ever had. I'll give it a 6 out of 10. 😏

would be more reliable than the GT by a long way lol

Keith Prinn sadly they’re not very reliable

Every DougScore ends with "54". The guy made the dumbest rating system of all time. Mine is better.

No one would have guessed that

@1XP Gaming 10x more fun to drive than normal 2.2 L's hence 22😁😁

@Munshat Rahman the comment you replied to already gave you one decent reason why someone might be frustrated or confused by Doug.

This makes way more sense than the 2.2 liter explanation!

He gave it the same fun score as a stinger GT. Like seriously... What is the dougscore even for?

I watch all of his videos and i always stop right before the Doug score. I believe it is totally irrelevant.

J Tristan good idea I never use the Doug score as my opinion on the car but I’ll probably still not watch it

This is typical

His scale is based on pure numbers which are published on his website. Each time correlates to a score which doesn't include class or price range

I don't think he factors in age of the car on purpose. Every modern car is an option someone can choose over this, so it doesn't make sense to give this a handicap when your scale includes modern cars. Is this was a scale that only included 90s or older cars, then sure, he should scale it differently.

@@FIK3TriKs I had a look at his website and I now truly understand the DougScore. Still don't fully agree with it but it makes a lot more sense once you realise that, in Doug's words, "the DougScore is designed to be geared towards exciting cars. For instance: if a car does 0-to-60 in over 7 seconds, it gets a “1” for acceleration."

Actually acceleration is probably the only score he has standardized... The fun factor should have been more than 6, he really had a blast driving it. Cool factor should have been at least 9 also.

@@apostolis.diamantopoulos Agreed. But I still can't wrap my head around the acceleration score being "absolute" rather than "relative". I think people are more interested in the performance/price ratio and this car doing 0-60 in 4.7s should make for a higher scored than, let's say, a brand new $50K+ Porsche Cayman which has a similar acceleration figure.

He has to be objective! It's not like this is some kind of personal "Doug Score" or something

Wat? He gave the disclaimer saying it’s his own opinion awhile ago. Then gushes over the car the whole drive and then gives it an average score? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m just saying he’s only had this reaction a handful of times and always the score reflected what we saw on his drive.

But it is a personal doug score...

You would be too if you were driving an extremely rare car like that from the 90's early 2000 JDM vehicles.

It is exactly explaination given by Subaru in Europe for that model name. Subaru Impreza 555 from 1993 was extremly successfull on rally stages so 22B was tribute for that.

It has sense, and yup, 555 in hex is 22b

.. and styling, the girl was good looking, not exactly beautiful and gets a 6 out of 10.
