aiyah, reviews in mags, forums etc, we must always read it for info only. there is always a certain bias view from the reviewer. look at those so called mags TORQUE, MOTORING, WHEELS ASIA. they need the car advertisers to support them. if you the editor, would you allow the reviewer to bite the hand that feeds you?

I am shifting your question/suggestion to a more appropriate folder so it may get faster response from admin.

This is an FOC forum, not a paid magazine.

When I see two Mitsubishi and 2 hyundai reviews (on same car ) side by side one after another, I get suspicious. We shld see where their IP address are, maybe same

Like yr avartar

[Admin]

I am looking for balanced reviews, with a mix of strengths and weakness for each car. Contrary to what you may just see from the title of the review, most of the reviews which was approved does list the weakness of the car in the review itself.

 

It is very easy to spot a review written by a user who has a teeth to grind over certain makes of car, or have a certain agenda. I have seen a number of users post up damning reviews on some car models, but I do not believe a car is so bad that there is nothing positive to say about it at all.

 

While I do not deny that some of the reviews could be posted by PIs themselves, I am unable to tell for sure, so I will approve it, as long as the review is fair.

 

If you feel that any review is overly positive, you can always help to feedback to me, with your reasons. Beside each review, there is a link to Feedback to Admin. Thanks.

Thank goodness, it is no longer around! I think review is best left to the professionals.
