Are you tired of reading a car magazine review and at the end saying 'I know more about this car than they do!'.

Or, if I reviewed it, people would have seen the perspective of a 30 year old driver vs. the 75 year average age for the magazine writers...Just kidding, but it's close! ;)

Well now you can!

You will love the detail Agent 004 put into this 'best of breed' car review system.

It's REALLY cool!

And you can start reviewing right now by clicking this link:

I need to edit my review, too... PUT IN AN EDITOR!!!

The top operation--which is slow on my S4--has been addressed with the 2007 model. I meant to put that in there, but didn't. There are also a few word issues that I would love to fix...

hahaha... laser hair removal, now that’s comedy. The truth is that this is a website about cars, and it is not myspace. I am not the topic of discussion in these pictures, the car is. The only reason I am in those pictures is
1.) Proof that I do indeed own it for those who requested it
2.) It was requested by 001 that I take a picture with the autospies shirt on
Another sad truth is you sit there and suggest what you would have done if you had the choice to buy this car, but you cannot buy it yourself. That is the only reason why there is a comment here from you in the first place. Go focus on improving your life and your personal appearance. What I do with my money, (be it buying cars that you cannot afford, or removing hair that I do not need to remove) is not your concern. Your concern should be figuring out why you are so frustrated with your situation in life that you feel the need to post negative comments about me. If you want, post something about the car, and leave me and my hair out of it.
As for your preference for the IS-F, you don’t even know what it will drive like. The CLK has received countless positive reviews on its driving capabilities, yet the IS-F has received none. IMHO the IS-F is hideous, but that is personal preference. How both cars drive and handle, is, for the most part, an objective comparison, and until you have driven these cars you have no right to say which is the “hotter” car! (I have driven Porsche 911s, bmw m5s, m3s, practically ever car in the amg family, and countless others and the CLK is the best performing by far!)

CLK63...I don't know when you picked it up but congrats on the ride. Would certainly like to read your review whenever possible.

Also, since A$$h()les are in no short supply on this site you will unfortunately expose yourself to childish, jealouse, and hateful comments whenever you put yourself out there. You just gotta remember it makes no difference when you have a "BlackSeries" sitting in your garage.

Some key vehicles have been left out of the database, such as:

• Aston Martin V8 Vantage
• Audi A3
• Infiniti G37
• Lexus IS350
• Maserati Quattroporte

I could find more...

S4, I know. They had a Lexus 142 or something like that.

Yeah,I remember asking Agent 001 for advice on getting started in automotive journalism about two weeks ago. I'm so happy that they started this section! I would have liked to be the first to post an article but mine needs a little touching up. Anyone want to hear about my jaunt as a passenger in a Saturn Sky Turbo???

Great! when you get uncontrolled, biased, subjective views of what a car review should be you only get one thing... USELESS INFORMATION.

At least car magazines get close to objective with the road test data. They just always seem to add the subjective ratings and weight that as they see fit.

While this may be a good idea, it was clearly not thought out very well considering all the BS comments you already get in htis forum.

As a car man i like your concept, most on these sites are here because they like the world of automobles and for those who are in the markert it gives them a nice perspective what to look for pro's and con's from posters who actually have owned, reasearched or now own. Very Good approach and i hope it sticks around the public is not hired guns they are the pulse and this gives everyone a shot on a review without advertising bias again very nice

I agree 100% on the leather in the 2006 FX. My driver side, left side of the seat looked warn out after only 1 month of owning the car. It took my BMW 12 months before the seat showed any sort of wear.

I have to admit that I have seen a few reviews already that I find slightly suspricious.

For example, one in which the car is called perfect, yet receives a lower than 100 score, and one in which the car recevies a 100 but there are cons listed.

Yes, those are both by lexusis350, where he claims to not be able to think of a single flaw in either of his cars, but gives them lower-than-100 scores...
