After Alpha_One posted a throrough review of his brand new Mirage, we got the idea to create a dedicated sub-forum for reviews & test drive impressions by forum members themselves.

After all, mainstream media reviews tend to be written overwhelmingly by male gearheads with a tendency to focus on POWWWAAAAAHHH! & tenacious handling. More than anything, those reviewers crave press trips where they get to thrash sporty, expensive cars down windy roads and around race tracks... and they don't have to foot the bill!

But real-world motorists don't necessarily share the obsessions of motoring journalists. (For proof, just look at most countries' top-selling vehicles -- you'll find they're generally not the models the journalists rave about.)

That's what this new sub-forum is for: reviews by forum members who have weighed the pros and cons and actually put up their own hard-earned money to get one. (Or are considering getting one.)

----

If you're wondering what to write, Alpha_One's review is a good example to follow: a list of pros & cons; other vehicles you have considered; things you wish were different or better about the car. Maybe there is one particular thing that drew you to the car, or pushed you away.

Or feel free to choose your own style, and thanks for sharing it here!
