What it's like is a poll of professional drivers about the qualities of modern cars. Of course you're going to get a different perspective than one taken from the entire population of good, bad & indifferent drivers. I'd prefer to make my automotive design choices by including such focused opinions, knowing where they came from, so that I can expect improved sales by those likely to also make respected purchasing recommendations to the less clued, and thus improved sales generally. -- "Be quick to listen, slow to speak."
