This is how you know for sure C**k Rider magazine is blowin smoke to help other brands.
What nissan did wrong was that they are too cheap to pay off a magazine. They'll secretly add an oil cooler that isn't stock for a better review, but they won't pay for one...

The Z doesn't have anymore TSB's than any other sports car Co*k Rider reports is polishing off corporate sponsors. This is why I now go to you tube for reviews from enthusiast mags that can't afford or aren't smart enough to make million dollar deals yet. They know cars, and they speak on a level I can relate.

Mazda, honda and hyundai get rode hard on CR. BMW is shyt reliable and they say it. But they would never call it a horrible car for resale... meanwhile, my Z is holding more value than bimmers, G's and benz's when I visit the dealer. Bad buy? They are talking about steering, lock, oil, fuel starve... but even still. These issues are easily overcome except fuel starve but that's the rarest one. Take them with a grain of salt.

CR sponsored by...

magnumb, do it big.

Anal eazee. When doing it big, prevent getting ripped

Hondo, mazdo and BWM. We pay to be the best.
