Consumer Reports??? Ha! S70

This is the expert company that on one page recommends such cars as '00 Audi A6 but on another page lists same as "worse used cars" or "used cars to avoid". Then, they lambast the S80 without taking into account that the car had a tough first year (or hapf of its first year, but who is counting? Certainly not the toastmasters of CR!) but on their tables they have attached a "Check marK" for reliability...although, they fail to mention that when they describe the car...Are we talking split personalities? Are we talking Dr. Jekyll & Hyde? Who the heck knows?

Here is another fact, that it could be amusing to all of us here. They rank Hoover upright vacs among the most reliable. Guess what? I have bought (and one of them is one of those they recommend) THREE of them during the last four years (actually two, one was "given" to us by Hoover, for only S&H $25, since we had so many problems)...Would I buy another one? Of course not! But "if I read CR they write that they are among the best"! Sure they are! See? You are not the only one out there!

Well, I took a lot of space to write about your CR claim. Couldn't help it!
