CS is ok for things other than rating automobiles.

What's sad is hearing someone say "But I heard in Consumer Reports that..."

Here is some Jeep Lovers view of CR

YouTube - Anti Consumer Reports

I would like to see the Hundai they rated to make some of these moves

OK. I went seaching youtube trying to find any other CR auto reviews like this smart review and this is what I found.

YouTube - consumerreports's Channel

None, Nada, Nill, Nothing. No other Car reviews on Youtube from CR. It's like they went out of there way to trash it publicly to those who don't subscribe to CR.

The only other Videos they have are for Bluetooth Headsets, E-Filing Taxes, Kindle, and a Video of how they test cars including driving their Families around in them for weekend trips. Kind of hard to do in a two seater.

Thanks for the great perspective. It is now obvious CR does not know what they are talking about when it comes to automotive subjects.

Being a Zimbabwean I'm a big fan of the defenders, but I rent a Wrangler every time I visit my fam in Hawaii, and I have to say its a GREAT car. In fact, I see a lot of parallels with the Smart. You have to drive them the same way.

That is better, just missed the fact that you could easily change the panels for a new color.

I know, it's just totally ridiculous!
