I agree and it sucks that the "reviewers" are actually comparing a $10,000 car to a car that's usually 4-5 times the price of the Mirage too. I can't stand watching "mainstream car reviewers" now since it's just clickbait and they immediately compare the Mirage to another car that's way out of it's class.
I don't think the car is the issue, it's the actual person making an 'uneducated' review on it. First, it needs a click bait title that triggers someone to click on the link. 2nd, they will immediately trash it because it's what every reviewer is saying because they need to keep up with the other reviewers. I just stopped reading/watching car reviews. Some of the car reviews are just straight up trash and you can tell the reviewer has never done basic maintenance on a car by comparing the car to woodworking.
Anyways, it's easy to for any 'reviewer' to trigger clicks. All you have to do is write up an article about "10 reasons you should never buy (car)" or "Watch this video before you Buy a (car)" along with an thumbnail image of oil leaks, leaks, broken muffler, haha.
