I would take CR with a grain of salt for sure.
But, any other so called "testing" magazine or internet site is completely worthless. You can't give an accurate assessment of a vehicle when they only let you drive it under their controlled conditions for an hour or two.
CR goes out like you and me and buys the vehicle to test it. They drive them around day in and day out like you and me.
Everybody else gets a loaner from the manufacturer that has benn gone over with a fine tooth comb before it changes hands to the next magazine reporter. Talk about getting a biased review. If they keep trashing a brand, that brand won't lend them a vehicle to "test" anymore.
this not the car test (where they buy a car) but the 'survey' where they poll owners ,it really hurts their reputation.
JD powers is worlds above .
