Replying to: westgmn (Jan 07, 2008 5:24 am) i tend to believe a well informed opinion regarding cars also includes a test drive , not regurgitating magazine exercepts or following the media hype   I think that enthusiast magazine tests and evaluations can be helpful, but you need to know the editorial slant of the magazine as well as that of the author. Unfortunately, most "experts" tend to forget all that and simply want to use the buff books to play a game of "mine's bigger" by comparing accelleration, braking and skidpad/slalom numbers...

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 07, 2008 8:01 am) A very astute poster on another forum (mikeebear) put it best (I've been waiting for a chance to pass it on).   "You can't look at cars like Pokemon cards, where each car has its own set of "stats" and "numbers" attached to it. They are to be driven and your analysis should come from how they drive." Replies to this message: roadburner (Jan 07, 2008 11:36 am) fedlawman (Jan 07, 2008 1:59 pm)

haah that game is very addicting
#179 of 203 agree by westgmn Jan 08, 2008 (3:27 am)
roadburner i do agree with you. Like you say the slant of a magazine does factor in quite a bit. There are still some objective and fair publications out there...I hope.It is a shame though how it is usually reduced to who is the fastest in a straightline from stop light to stop light.
#181 of 203 what test drive? by jmaroun Jan 22, 2008 (10:37 pm)
Fact is, the E92 M3 is not even available for test drive in the US..so one MUST go by magazine and European buyer reviews. That's what I've done. I've summarized my opinions in the following blog. Remember, it's only my own personal opinion.   blog: http://www.carspace.com/blogs/enthusiastsdilemma08   Joseph San Diego
