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)...

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.
