It's hard for me to take a car review seriously from a man who drives a Cadillac.

That would be like a wine reviewer telling everyone he likes Boones Farm, then expecting to be taken seriously

Well if the reviewer drives a Cadillac CTS-V or a Cadillac XLR, he indeed does get my full attention....

Holy crap.

Why do I feel needlessly bombarded by stupifyingly poor English lately? Did this guy walk out of High School thinking his pink expulsion slip was a diploma? Did he sleep through the G.E.D. study session?

This review reads like a failed attempt at an 8th grade book report. Fact after fact remains either incomplete in analysis or so violently opininated it leaves me wondering if this guy created this whole review himself or if he gleaned most of it from the Word-o-Scramble on the back of a Honey Nut Cheerios box.
By the way, why so many sentence fragments? Not good for reading. No passing grade.
Aren't run-on sentences just plain annoying and when he uses really bad sentence structure and just plain dumb vernacular words and bad spelings it makes the sentents hard tew reed and he just don't know thuh difurrence plus using a lot of questions makes me wonder if he really motored in the car or if he just pushed the gas and brake and then made up most of his opinions without actually consulting his non-motoring experience?

Whew.
This guy's no Jayson Blair, but he does enjoy sensationalizing his "facts".

I can only HOPE that this review has not excised any potential MINI owners/motorers/lovers.
It is truly a shame that reviews such as this are allowed to remain in the public eye.

But whatever; MOTOR ON!
