Thinking more about the post earlier, brought up the question of negative reviews. As my readers may have noticed, I don’t write negative reviews that often. Why? I don’t like being a jerk.

Before we get too far, let’s first understand there are certainly several vehicles throughout the year I receive that I don’t care for. Want an example? The recent Corolla SE is a great example. I’m not a huge fan of the vehicle. It simply feels a bit too harsh on the road and I think the interior could be done better.

Now keep in mind,  I drove the 2015 Dodge Dart a week before and I believe the Dart to be a superior vehicle. The interior is much better, it handles road noise a LOT better and the seats are better. However, I know the Toyota Corolla has resale value and long-term quality in its corner. If pressed, I would be hard pressed though to buy the Corolla over the Dart.

Since I feel like the Dart is better, does that mean I should tell everyone how bad the Corolla is? NO. NO IT DOESN’T. Why? People like the Corolla and mine is just one of many opinions on it. Heck, I have a cousin who just bought a 2015 Corolla brand new. Should I walk up to her and tell her I think her new car is crap? What purpose does that serve? It doesn’t.
