+JSWilson64 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Do they know anything about GPS? They've been testing cars for decades, and still write stuff similar to this in their car reviews: "The Zoot-Capri 7000 sports car accelerated like a rifle bullet, and the braking and handling were top-notch. However, the ride was harsh, and the lack of a back seat makes the car impractical for family trips." or: "The Detroit Big Iron Pickup with the giant engine and towing package was a champ at pulling our fully loaded horse trailer, and its 6-wheel-drive had no trouble slogging across plowed fields after two weeks of torrential rain. The 80-liter diesel engine was loud, however, and fuel economy was terrible." In other words, CR often complains about things that are a direct result of something's intended purpose. Don't be surprised when they gripe that the Oregon needs buttons, or the 60CSx is a really nice unit, save for its lack of a touch-screen, or a unit designed for in-car use was heavier than the others they hiked with, and didn't hold up too well when they dropped it in a creek...
