Another new motoring website... Seems very new - like a month or 2 old (despite the Copyright 07/08!!!)

Not really very fair to compare a $40k car with something worth $65k!

Ha! Worth more or just costs more?

I thought the whole point of the review was to say why pay 65k for the Saab when you can get a Ford of the same standard for 25k less.

been there a while Zippy just new web makeover. Ian yeah I think you are right mate I could have got an Lexus 250 [bit of a struggle] and thought is it worth 2.5 times the Mondeo so in the end it comes down to the BADGE

Don't get me wrong...
I was merely questioning the appropriateness of comparing 2 cars with such a price disparity. You could always argue form vs function, or what do you need vs what you want
If it just came down to something that just did the job, I'd be killing myself slowly driving something like a Toyota Camry.

Anyway, its good to see a new site. Just that they need more work on their reviews. They comment about the Saab interior, but dont back that up with any piccys. They comment on the Mondeo rear seat, but forgot to mention it with regards to the Saab - which is not referred to as 9-3 or 9-5 (they mention 9-5 on page2, but I thought this car was actually a Saab 9-3 Aero TTiD)

Me shrugs.

Sometimes these sites use readers own cars for testing
