I agree the tests don't compare apples to apples, and they should not say it is a better car. Clearly it is not a faster car. More spacious yes. A better driving experience yes (according to the reviews). But I'm wondering... are all of the magazines biased or is there really something about this car that has placed it as a winner over much more expensive cars in various comparos?

I know why I'm getting mine. I don't need those magazines to tell me. But hell yeah I'm feeling extra good about purchasing a car I've never driven when these well established magazines are rating higher than competition in a completely different price range!

Put another way I'd hate to have a deposit down on a tt-rs or cayman r (both dream cars IMO) and be reading the reviews. They wouldn't change my mind but definitely give me something to think about.

1m FTW!
