For me, most reviews are a waste of time. There are a few informative ones out there but I find most are just snobbish irrelevant biased garbage. I know & like what I like regardless of what others may say. I don't need to have someone re-affirm my decision or get butt-hurt because some jaded clown says I should "avoid the AT like the plaque" confirming his ignorance.

YMMV

My point exactly. How does he know how the AT drives? I didn’t see him test one, did you?

They have a narrative in mind before they even drive it. Then all they have to do is fit the review to the narrative.

It’s like they watch other reviewers and parrot what they’ve heard.

Yeah, I don't consider the 370Z to be slow by any means. It was never meant to be a 1/4 mile car (through out its history). But 0-60 in approx. 5 seconds is not "slow" especially for a 30k car.

Regardless, it's funny how reviewers rarely complain about how slow the Mazda MX5. They just say it's a great handling sports car that does everything well, "feels" fast and how "it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow", blah, blah, blah.

Bottom line: Most car reviewers will tend to mimic and follow other reviewers and crap on anything that is not the flavour of the day, does not have enough bells and whistles and is older than 5 years.
