Cnet Reviews 2012 Tacoma

Hmm....

Link

 

Don't hear "dampers" every day

 

That's why Cnet should stick to electronics.

 

Other thing I noticed is the reviewer doesn't seem to know how to handle a truck..he described it almost like it was very difficult.

 

Uh! When did Cnet start doing vehicle reviews?

 

Yeah, dampers is definitely a new one to me! They've done review of vehicles for a while now. Just very few, and they're usually the ones that have the newest electronics.

 

dampers are the proper term to use for the strut part of the coilover assembly.

 

I hate it when a automotive reviewer gets out of his comfort zone to do a review. It reminds me of my buddy who thought his parents Celebrities were awesome cars giving me his opinion on his RX-7 (Throttle's too quick! The steering is too sensitive! I hate this, it doesn't act anything like my parents Celebrity! AHHH!) I'll at least give him credit for recognizing he was out of his element, though.

 

^ This. They "dampen" the movement of the suspension, the springs are what actually absorb the shock.

Also agree that CNET has no business doing full car reviews. They should have just stuck with reviewing Entune.

 

That was pretty worthless...

 

WOW that giant "baja" decal is ugly. I would be embarrassed to drive such a beautiful truck with that monstrosity on the side.

Funny thing is that looking at this review, other than the entune, shocks and the diff lock (and the ugly ass sticker) it doesn't seem like much more than my SR5!

 

How is driving in a circle in an open lot in a city considered off roading?

What a retard. And I know this because of the bead locks.

 

Cnet reviewing a car is like Car and Driver reviewing a washing machine, i "think it works good"

 

That and the "offshore" reservoir comment, that must be a super long braided hose That guy should stick to reviewing the Prius
