I was saying they clearly knew what people were buying these cars for. They weren't ignoring the "fun factor," and had a lot of nice things to say about it. I know video reviews are never the full story, but it does let you know they aren't just driving them around a parking lot and figuring out how it compares with accords and camrys. Consumer reports does this all the time though, and when issues are resolved they put the rating right where it should be.

I know you of all people would agree that the first year model of this car has more than it's share of problems, and the "not recommended" is probably warranted considering they're simply informing people that they can expect to have their new car spending some time in the shop in the first couple years.
