First, let me say that the quality of your writing is very high. I appreciate that and thought you had some clever turns of phrase in your recent reviews.

Although I'm not against negative reviews, I can't help but notice that all four of the reviews I've read so far from your are surprisingly negative -- clever and skillful, but negative. I don't take any points off for that but I do find it curious.

Finally, your well-written reviews all suffer from a little less information than I'd like to know (usually in the area of comfort, front and rear, and gas mileage) and from the lack of your directly attributable observations. In other words, you almost never use the pronoun "I" when you describe the cars. As far as I'm concerned, the best reviews start off with "I spent some time driving this car..." From the way that you wrote these reviews, it's not really clear to me that what you wrote are all your direct observations.

Okay... for a "Very Helpful" rating from me, I'd like to know your observations regarding the cars comfort (front and rear) and your thoughts on some other important things such as trunk space/flexibility and gas mileage. And I'd like to see more of YOU in the reviews, with lines like "I thought the car leaned too much in tight curves," or "I was surprised by the force the gas pedal required and this gave me the sensation that the car was sluggish." This removes all doubt that these are your personal observations.

If you update your reviews with more information, please let me know by e-mail with the link and I will re-rate.
