Many years ago I bought a SAAB which was the darling sports sedan of
every car mag and filled with glowing reports I ignored my reaction
during the short test drive. Turned out to be the worst car I ever
owned, for many reasons, but it was really a soft, tippy, slug of a
car. When I replaced it with a Honda Civic, the Civic embarrassed the
sport sedan qualities of the SAAB. On something like that never
believe what you read without carefully confirming for yourself.
