Yannis,

I think this whole "whose is better" car debate misses the point.

There are many choices because different people want and expect different things. The consumer magazines are there to provide the testers' opinions about a particular product. What you won't get from them is the long term satisfaction from ownership.

I got a Volvo because friends and family had driven them for decades. So I had plenty of useful feedback. I had no expectation that Volvo ownership was trouble free or inexpensive.

Volvos, unless Ford substantially changes them, are one of the very few cars that get BETTER with age provided they receive proper care and maintenance. So, until a magazine does a long term study, the opinions of editors should be kept in prospective.

Bryan
