    Default Consumer Reports Can Blow Me

    I know there are fans of this in here and I've got nothing against those people and I'm not trying to be a belligerent prick. But... This thing just isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing and I think it's time it got sent to bed without it's dinner.

    No.

    And from an automotive perspective, Buster and me get a limp-dick sandwich while Killy gets a steak and a BJ:

    Fuck off that an Infiniti Pathfinder is a chunk of shit compared to a Hyundai!
    Tell me again how my Dyson doesn't do an amazing job when I've owned 5 other vacuums that don't work worth a shit in comparison.

    Sorry HeavyD - I think CR is hot garbage.

    When did CR lose their way or were they ever on the correct path? What changed? Who competes with them?
    Discuss this relic of formerly relevant media!

    10 years ago, I would agree. Today, lots of friends own Hyundais and Kias, driven a bunch, they’re good cars now. I wouldn’t hesitate to own one.

    Nissans and infinitis gets made fun of here for a reason.

    TL;DR: you’re getting old haha. Not that CR isn’t without flaws.

    If someone told me they were comparing reliability of a random Hyundai and a random Nissan, I'd bet on the Hyundai.

    However, CR has been trash for a very long time, and they were merely mediocre before that.

    The problem with CR is that it’s not geared towards us (ok maybe @Buster lol). It’s not going to recommend cars based on what gets your heart pumping. It’s geared towards the average car buyer, which we’re not. We criticize it’s reliability rankings because the majority of problems are caused by infotainment systems and Ux design causing dealer visits. You know who cares about that shit? Average basic bitch car buyers who don’t want to go to the dealer because Bluetooth keeps disconnecting, or the ride over potholes are harsh because of sport tuned suspension that nobody but us in the minority care about.

    Find a family member that dgaf about cars, have them test drive a bunch, and good chance they’ll end up picking something CR recommends.

    Disagree. I'm not a subscriber.
    Those who subscribe to a paper magazine that hasn't been relevant in 25 years?

    What’s worse. A subscription. Or paying $8 for one?

    JDPower ratings is where you should do your research. All about those initial ratings.

    Nissin ain’t bad, got two and both made in Japan 18 years apart.

    Nissan/Infiniti got popular and then their reliability dropped like a stone.

    CR actually used to never have the reliability affect the rating until recently.

    And yeah, sorry it hurts you but Hyundai/Kia have come a loooong way.

    And you can access their website for free using your library card.

    But to be fair like rage2 says they HATE cars with firm suspension.

    And it looks like Nissan's turned it around a fair bit with their reliability.

    Magazine says Nissan is trash. Reality says Nissan is trash. Sorry Nissan fanboy but no amount of deflecting can change the fact that Nissan is in fact hot garbage. Not sure what's in your head more, me or CR.

    Whoever started the trend of "why am I living rent-free in your head, Bro?" and all of its derivatives essentially brought the debating wit of "I know you are, but what am I" into the 21st century. And that's hilarious!

    I don't own a Nissan or give much of a shit about their reliability, other than the hilarity of the people at Beyond who lose their bananas about that brand of car. That's why I mentioned it but apparently I need to reiterate and get some crayons out or some sock puppets to communicate my point better

    Do you see this picture?

    What articles does the magazine in this picture have? The giant cover story and two other articles are for fucking idiots. This magazine should have a picture of a Kardashian on it and be at the till in a grocery store.

    Is that clear?
    I don't think CR used to be that way, but it sure is now.

    You don't need to respond to my posts as I can read your thoughts while I reside in your head reading CR.
