CNET just came out with another one of their many unreliable reviews about cars. They reviewed the MINI Cooper S convertible w/ JCW...Check it out...

MINI Cooper S review by CNET

Giancarlo

 

Hmmm I didn't know CNET reviewed cars. IMO they should just stick to electronics. It seems like there are too many people doing reviews out there nowadays and it's hard to tell if they even know what they're talking about.

 

I didn't know they did car reviews either, how weird!

It would make more sense if they did car reviews that only covered the electonics and geek technology in the car

 

True, that's not to say I don't like CNET though, I've used them many times to get advice on some big purchases. But car reviews?

 

They're griping about the price, yet they loaded the car with so much unnecessary stuff!

I mean, the JCW/Sports Package AND the Premium Package?

They could have saved $3600 through more sensible options packages.

Of course they start with a Cabriolet, which is more expensive to begin with.

 

I think it is pretty obvious they loved the car and are telling people that it is one of the most fun rides around and it can be fun even with out all of the options.

For testing purposes they just maxed everything because they could.

 

CNET should stick to rating calculators and digital bottle openers.
