I've owned a car that cost nearly 5 times a MY03 zed when new and had nearly twice as much power. I still love the zed and will buy a third in the non too distant future. Anyone with a braincell knows that the two are not comparable.
You can't compare it to cars outside of its price and performance range. Compared to a Carrera GT, its crap. Compared to a Saxo, its amazing. He is a complete ****. He may not like it but he has no journalistic objectivity and is obviously trying to engineer a bit of notoriety.
There are people on that thread slating the zed because there is one for £8k, what a load of @*!#. I was offered a Ferrari 360 last week (with 100k on the clock) for £20k, does that mean the rest are the worst cars in the world and lead to financial suicide? No. The bloke is a total knob imo.
TBH I've never heard of his online mag before and having read that I won't be looking it up in a hurry.
If he was any good he would be writing for a published magazine, what a ****.
Not strictly true - check out the team behind Drivers Republic.
Granted, the expection to the rule, but those guys between them are an ex EVO magazine editor, former EVO deputy editor, an ex AUTOCAR editor etc etc, all with respected positions within the industry and hope that their reputations will carry their site to success. Publications first, internet based second. Their experience and reputations allow it.
This guy is a no-one. Written for no one, and expects to be taken seriously.
