About Cars review

http://cars.about.com/od/scion/fr/20...r-S-Review.htm

Did this guy bother reading his own copy?

The dashboard layout is sensible and straightforward; no fancy instrument-panel pyrotechnics here, just simple analog gauges with the speedometer mounted dead center (thank you, Subaru).


He did not like the engine sound, or the small trunk. (I saw it tonight - don't know why he says it won't take grocery bags - is he shopping for 10?) But otherwise he's positive.

I bet he had to balance all those good things with a bad one, so he chose to pick on the trunk lol.

Maybe he was talking about the digital speedo in the tach? (Edit: Nope, he specifically states the appeal of the strictly analog gauges, lol. Was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt!)

I was more shocked that he spent like 4 paragraphs talking about how bland he finds the styling. First time I've seen that negatively reviewed.

but there are some nice details, like the taillights (which remind me of Star Wars Storm Trooper eyes)
I stopped reading there

I don't think he actually drove the car. I think he just looked at other reviews and made this up.

He is another wanna be journalist with dumb analogies. Another hater. No worries. My asphalt FRS is on order. I can't wait.
