Debuting his career as an automotive journalist and growing to be a top notch race car driver, Fitra Eri is also popular as a YouTube content creator with 2 millions of subscribers. The videos are mostly personal vlogs talking about cars, including driving impressions, cars commentary, tips for car service, and interviews with other content creators.
The interesting part of his videos is that he has a very popular catchphrase that goes, “My height is 177 cm” (in Indonesia: “Tinggi saya 177 cm”). He always throws this sentence to explain the size of cars that are being reviewed as a comparison for the viewers. He often collaborates with Om Mobi in making entertaining yet educating automotive videos for this channel. People love Fitra Eri for his very thorough explanation about cars along with the features, as he has built his whole career in the automotive industry since the early 2000s.
Other than his own personal channel, Fitra Eri also develops a professional automotive YouTube channel called Otodriver. Serving as a more ‘formal’ channel for car reviews, Otodriver videos are still really fun to watch. Otodriver features car reviews, first impressions, and first drives of many newly released cars in Indonesia.
The good thing about this channel is that it upholds its integrity by delivering an unbiased and honest professional commentator about cars in all of its videos. Thus, this channel can be a really good reference if you are planning to buy a car, but not wanting to rely too much on the ad. Fitra Eri is not the only car reviewer in this channel, as there are also 4 other reviewers and one of them is a former female race car driver, Diandra Gautama.
