Consumer Reports? Well that explains it. They suck in my opion and don't
seem to know a whole lot. If it's not Japanese they don't like it.
To demonstrate why I think they are idiots: I had an '85 VW GTI a while
back. For those who don't know the GTI is a factory hotrodded Golf- More
powerful motor, close ratio trans, stiffer suspension, and bigger brakes.
They rated this GTI as less powerful, slower, poorer handling and worse
braking than the plain Golf of the same year. Morons. That's why I think
they're idiots.
