If you didn't see earlier today, Consumer Reports issued a list of cars that -- according to their rankings --, fell behind over the last generation vehicle. Considering manufacturers spend a pretty penny updating their new offerings, I'd say that this wouldn't be a good thing.
However, when you take a closer look at the reasons it seems that some of these testing scores went down in areas that are subjective. Take, for example: steering, handling, controls and ride.
To me these areas just seem a bit too sticky to really say that these aspects changed for better or worse without being subjective.
Am I right or wrong?
**Take a look at the models in question down below
- Volkswagen Jetta SE 2.5
- Toyota Sienna FWD/AWD
