Why don't they correct their own blunders first before overstating the defects of others? Try correcting the grammar and spelling (there's a certain program called Word developed more than a decade ago). Rectify the errors in technical specs (e.g. Ford Explorer has 5-speed automatic, not 4).

:lol:...

It's their job to point out manufacturer's blunders... It's our job as readers, to point out theirs.

i think anyone a whole lot of good money on a bnew car deserves a worryfree experience lalo na kung bago at straight from the casa so sa case na yan why would the mag be at fault?..we all know mga amateurs lang sila and contentwise walang kwenta (except for the pics) pero tama lang na ilabas nila ang experience nila sa car that incidentally, is defective..

You're right, I ought to give them a call or send an email.

:D Power to the people!

I just wish that C! didn't have to do those infomercial style "special" sections... but lately, Top Gear has been doing it, too.

C! is just spread to thin... it's been a problem for years... then they shaped up a bit when TG came out, and now it's starting to show again... having three mags to take care of is not a good thing (C!, Tech&Tuner, EVO) and I wonder how long they can keep up. Top Gear Philippines has only itself to take care of (with less content, too) and it's also struggling... right now TG is at 50% good content, up from maybe 30% when they started. C! is down to 55% from a high of 75% a few years ago. Of course, this is all my opinion, but it's frustrating.
