I think you've both missed the point of the entire magazine tbh,
EVO is not about whether the stitching is uniform throughout, or whether the optional heated seats are worth it. It's about how the cars drive, and how they make you feel. It's why the 350Z is more highly rated by them than the 370Z, despite being a slower car with an uglier interior. It's why massive horsepower cars don't always trump the hot hatches, and why things like steering feel and chassis feedback are rated so very highly.
