TESTER’S NOTES
The cars are driven, the reviews written. Now for the hard part
‘Should I buy one?’ It’s a simple question that appears at the end of Autocar’s first drives online, but it’s not, alas, a question to which I want to give a simple answer.
The quest for a plain answer is an inevitable demand, though, in a world that’s desperate for decisions and opinions. Yes or no; in or out; left or right; dogs or cats. Modern life loves a culture war in which everything is judged in brutal fashion and anything other than a full-hearted opinion frankly isn’t satisfactory.
Which is a shame for me, because I find myself a bit less certain about all kinds of things in life.
