[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 487211, member: 14174"] Slightly off topic but an example of ratings,in Europe cars get Ncap ratings for car safety,top score is 5,ime driving a 4 rating,the cars are tested in several areas and get a rating out of 5 in each area,why should i choose to drive a 4 rating,simple it fell short in two areas that are of no importance to me,one was rear passenger safety ::what::it failed because there is no audible warning to remind passengers to fix there seat belt. Cant remember how many areas are tested but the final score cannot be higher than the lowest individual score,hence the 4 rating and the fact it means nothing,you need to look at each area separately. I remember years ago when a consumer magazine gave the Zenith E a best buy in 35mm cameras :D it was on price but nothing else. [/QUOTE]
