College girls should stick to reviewing shoes. Her bad points are kinda valid but she makes no mention at all of anything else. Has she even driven a 15-17 for comparison? What is she babbling on about the brakes and the IDS modes? They have nothing in common.
She sounds like the most of the usual 5-6 anti Acura goofs on this forum lol.

But she did have enough sense to know something was wrong with the car. Another point more women are buying cars then ever before & most are not technically astute.
They do know when something is not right though. The car could fail the typical try & buy ride.
Chalk up another lady buying a Lexus ES instead.

Jalopnik doesn't have a whole lot of experienced car people. Most of them are hipsters who take the subway into NYC and don't drive a whole lot.

Yes, JB tends to brag too much. I think he's toned it down some. But he often offers counter-intuitive or counter-trend thoughts which I appreciate. I don't always agree with him, but it's food for thought.
