The turbo story was solid too.

was thinking what is the criteria for an article to be "best of". If by amount of comments then some of the articles have a lot of off topic discussions. Like Forester having a long discussion about the automatic tail gate.

I think that's a really good point. But, as it says in the article, the criteria for this list was the most popular by traffic.
I think there is a good argument for doing a list by comments too though!

Hmmm, a story about past stories. Journalism recycling?  ;)

Half way into 2013, and the Buyers Guide is missing more than 50% of 2013 vehicles, and 100% of 2014 vehicles...

That's good feedback. Firstly. I appreciate it. And secondly, we are working on it. Events conspired against us this year, but we're moving forward.
Please do understand, your feedback is always welcome - even when it stings!
