Driving & Driving Test Tips: Opinions vs. test drive

Question
Do you think that opinions on cars, like these ones: http://opinii.autovit.ro/ and http://www.caranddriver.com/, are relevant or are they subjective and would be recommended to test a car before buying it?

Answer
Yes and no.  The reviews of the cars do bring up the highlights of a particular vehicle and usually do not say what may be a detraction to purchasing it.  So take what is shown as the positive things about the vehicle but compare it to other vehicles in the same class to weigh whether it is better or worse then other cars.

Another source is the IIHS (http://www.iihs.org/) results for vehicle crash testing.  This will give the rating for the vehicle in numerous crash tests and can help evaluating a vehicle.
