I’ll gladly wait for media reviews over owner reviews. Owners already come into it with a bias since they paid x amount of money. Two more days and I get to see Doug Demuro point out stupid quirks in the truck and hear the Alex on Autos’ Windows 95 sounding theme song. 😂
Ah come-on like Craigslist they know what they got
In the case of the Chevy Volt, the original owner reviews were scathing and wanted a bunch of features, additional performance, different tires, more range, even different methods of programming the car. The owners were much more technical and focused on hacking the car. While at the same time there were exhaustive owner reviews the car had extremely high owner satisfaction and the professional reviews were usually positive and fluffy just complaining about 0-60 times and that the car had less luggage room than a Suburban.
Legit reviewers don’t always add much, it depends on what they are focusing on, Because the Maverick appeals to a very different customer I expect more exhaustive owner commentary than a Subaru and possibly better reviews from the owners than the pros.
I still will patiently wait for Motorweeks review on tv though
