as per above, not perfect BUT they do use statistics unlike most places!
- that is why the Toyota episode did not affect their rating much

they have actually gotten better with their car reviews over the last few decades

I go to the library and read what they have to say before buying a non-specialty item

if you think about it, tools, cars, audiophile level electronics & etc. are all specialty items.

main problem I have is that by the time you read a review, the exact model they reviewed is gone and replacement may not be the same

2nd major issue is your goals have to align with theirs - e.g. you may not care about luggage space, but suspension feel is likely very imp. to those here...
