Using Epinions To Research A Used Car? You Need To Read This:
Michael Karesh is an amazing automotive writer here at Epinions. On top of writing some of the best reviews I've seen in any category, he took it upon himself to research an authoritative list of the changeover years for more than 200 popular domestic and imported cars over the past 20 years. In English, this means you can read a review on the '96 Pontiac Grand Am and use his list to see if the review applies to the '94 you are thinking about buying. I can't recommend this highly enough. Check out all the goodness here and don't forget to read his other reviews. Great stuff.
How I Rate-And Should You Care?
Reviews:
I hope you have put expressing yourself coherently on a life's list of things to do. But even if you haven't, for three cents a shot-tops-I think the only opinion on your writing that matters is your own. You're not being paid enough to care what anyone else thinks.
Products:
This matters, but remember I told you I suck at graphics so...
One Star: A product or service that adds new dimensions to the concept of "wretched". It's only redeeming quality is the chance that it can be recycled into something less putrid and that someday science will be able to refund the time of my life wasted on it.
Two Stars: If it, like medical leeches, is absolutely essential to survival can be briefly tolerated. But given a choice I'd rather sit sober through karoke night at the local cantina or a political convention.
Three Stars: A product or service that either aims for mediocrity and succeeds spectacularly, or aspires to greater things and is handicapped by unforgettable faults or a bloated pricetag.
Four Stars: An-all around good product or service that is let down by niggling faults. I don't think you can go wrong with anything here, but you won't find perfection.
Five Stars: A definitive product or service in its field. Either perfect (not often) or so far ahead of its competition that I need plastic surgery to get the smile off my face. Often more expensive, but always worth it.
