Thread: Another negative consumer reports

    Here's their latest video for the bottom 2017 models (in which they of course mistakenly show a 2014 or 2015 Mirage, not the latest model)...

    So they reviewed the 2014 Mirage rather than the 2017? Wow the 2017 does have better shocks. So I'd say their thoughts on the 2017 don't matter since they didn't seem to even review that year....what a load of rubbish.

    They showed a '14 mirage

    I laughed during the portion of the video where they showed the Maserati Ghibli they said, "This Ferrari developed engine delivers only a disappointing 19 mpg." If Ferrari developed the engine, why would any sane person expect it to get good gas mileage?

    If Consumer Reports rates products like they rated products 30+ years ago, pay no attention to them. I was in consumer electronics sales and service, and I can tell you, back then they rated junk very highly. I could never understand them, it was such a joke. I felt bad for the consumer.

    It makes me wonder if they drove a 2017 too, since they specifically mention:

    "the clumsy roly-poly handling"

    I think the 2017 suspension is noticeably improved over the 2014/15. It's still no sports car, but it's definitely noticeably firmer vs. the first years. The steering self-centering problem is better too.

    It's really bad when they're talking about the 2017 model and actually show a 2014-15 model. I haven't read CR in a VERY long time because through the several months of reading CR at my last job, the reviews were either extremely one sided or had little to no information about why a certain product was bad.
