My wife and I are planning to start a car review channel as I've been a car enthusiast since I was a kid (I'm in my 50's now lol). I know there are tons of car reviewers out there, and gaining meaningful engagement and traction will be an uphill battle. However I strongly feel my enthusiasm for anything car related is what will keep me going for the long term. 
Our plan is to do the reviews together - I'm a car enthusiast and my wife isn't. So the review will be a balance of a car nerd and someone else from a practical standpoint. The bottom line is that I strongly feel that with lots of enthusiasm and balanced reviews, this venture will be viable. I still have a full time job, so I'm under no illusion about the channel changing my life anytime soon (other than the time we'll spend recording the vids and post processing).
I've taken basic courses in videography, video editing (Davinci Resolve 16.2) and how to post on Youtube effectively (keyword research etc). I'm oversimplifying this to make this post short and readable. We're both hard core photograhy hobbyists and a lot of the photography concepts translate over to videography.
One of the important tips to align with the YouTube algorithm from the beginning is to have a bunch of videos uploaded all at once (I can think of about 6 so far - listed below) . This means having a playlist right from the get go and videos you can ask your viewers to watch for more content after watching one video.
If you have read this far, thanks for your time!!
I wanted to get some suggestions from whoever has the time on what types of topics to cover. We came up with the following (this is all focussed on my car as that is what I have access to obviously. The plan is to review other cars as well - both ICE and EV's - some of my relatives have some decent cars - so I'll be good for a couple of videos to start):
