The Bottom Line Use your own judgement, if not ask a family member or friend who you know.

After two years of in/out limited writing and a great deal of reading other opinions, I'm not too impressed. I believe the name of this site should be Eforum instead of Epinion. I'll give a few of my misconceptions so the next uninformed reader can remember a few things prior to making a decision about something they may want to buy.

First of all....these people are not experts. I've been rated by advisors/lead/whatevers, sometimes very helpful, sometimes helpful. So, to understand what it is to receive 'very helpful' from some of these advisors/leads/whatevers I read their efforts. Ok, at 20 I considered myself an automotive expert too, the difference? I had built and helped build about 5 late sixties early seventies muscle cars, 1 mid eighties econobox/boombox, and learned the value of a gallon of gas. I didn't know a thing about nintendo, couldn't even finish the 1989 version of Mario bros. I also understood the difference in a $20,000 car and a $50,000 car. There's an old axiom in the car biz, "speed/luxury/ability/power/excess costs money...how much do you want?" We all get bubbly when we see a Lexus 400, Mercedes 600, or NSX, of course our opinions are going to be more favorable, (duh, diamonds are better than garnets...why?). I'll do better sending editors my opinions rather than continuing with this site.

If your so unsure about purchasing a product, don't read anything here, you've already answered your own question about whether or not you should buy. If your looking for reasons not to buy or your wanting confirmation your getting something the 'popular' crowd wants, then here's your huckleberry! An example? Everyone loves Camaro's, they are not the best made car and never will be...but what fun to drive anyway!!!! Make the choice you like, be yourself and don't cave-in to others opinions.
