Do the manufacturers advertise in the magazine in question?

I would take any magazine review with a large pinch of salt, they have to make money from their advertisers and can only be so objective about these things.....

Jo, maybe post on 22b.com where the sensible guys are (as opposed to Scoobynet)

John Felstead is a good guy to speak to.

Very few 'testers' complain that cars are now set up for the Playwithyourselfstationgeneration, who dislike linear responses and steering feel, or other stuff not experienced using a surrogate.

I think it is therefore a deliberate dumbing down and hacks don't like to offend their paymasters.
