>Consumer Reports

They're not great either these days. They're pretty much in the business of affirming their readers preexisting viewpoints with a little bit of actual content sprinkled in.

I find that reading amazon reviews worst first looking for failure modes to gauge a product's limits is more productive.

I always got the feeling that their car statistics were so divorced from reality that they’re recommendations are worse than useless: they seem to genuinely recommend outright bad cars now.
