Hey, call me picky (or a bored Engineer), but I was just looking at the review for Classic MINI in Ohio and I started wondering about the 5-star "Overall Rating" at the top. Now I was pretty happy there (I gave 'em 4 stars...tough grader), but I thought I'd do the math. If I didn't blow it, I came up with a 4.4666... average, which, barring half stars, I'd round down to 4.

How do you guys compute the "Overall Rating"? Average or "Majority Rules"?

Just curious...

Drew,

If you put your mouse pointer over the ***** for classic MINI on the page that lists all the dealers, you will see that it comes up with 4.5 stars. So, I'd guess it rounded the 4.4666 to the nearest half or tenth.

...and hold it there for a while 'til you get a "pop-up". Wasn't patient enough to have that happen.

Cool...Thanx...An Engineer can sleep tonight.
