Feann Torr
Feann takes his role as a consumer advocate in the car world very seriously and he’s mad for videos too. Reckons his pronunciation is without peer, much to the ire of YouTube commenters…What’s Feann’s story?
Feann Torr – whose unusual name is of Irish origin – has been writing about cars for just over 20 years, spending the majority of that time as one of carsales’ key news and reviews journalists. He joined the carsales team in 2009. Not surprisingly, he knows his way around pretty much anything with an engine and is the proud owner of three registerable vehicles – a family SUV, a Japanese sports bike and a jetski – and several unregistrable electric vehicles.
