I am an avid car enthusiast with a bachelor's degree in physics. Other hobbies include weightlifting, writing, drawing, Tae Kwon Do, and motorcycle riding. I just began test driving various cars after months of Internet research, and I look forward to sharing some of my most memorable experiences at Epinions.com. I plan to buy a new car soon, but I'm also curious about what kind of cars are available. When I describe myself as an avid car enthusiast, I mean all cars, from little economy cars to hot rods to luxury cars and everything in between. I hope you enjoy my upcoming reviews. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . By the way, as you may notice, most of my reviews are positive. This isn't a result of grade inflation or generosity on my part, it's a result of car choice. I typically only test drive vehicles that have at least one advantage interesting feature, such as good gas mileage or compelling styling. If these vehicles don't show any severe faults, I have no reason to not to award a high score. My Scoring system is as follows: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Stars: The vehicle brings at least one excellent, unique feature to the table without any serious down sides. No vehicle is perfect, so I don't require perfection to award a 5-star rating. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Stars: The vehicle has at least one very pronounced advantage, but there may be one or two significant drawbacks a one should consider before buying. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Stars: Either the vehicle is just mediocre, with no special attributes, or the upsides are equally balanced by downsides. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Stars: The vehicle is lousy, with at least one serious problem and no outstanding strengths. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Star: The wheels fell off during my test drive.
