srry ... I didn't get what u means. Is you mean 1-20 mark is give is what? 1 - terrible, the higher the better they are, and 20 is means perfect....

Okay... I will divide it out.

 

[evo3]

benchmark = a standard by which something is evaluated or measured on

hummm...but stock standard MyVi handling quite good on the corner...

hey there, i applaud your good effort in sharing your reviews. imho, it will be more convincing if you can:

1. explain how you test it (eg. when you say long distance, how far you drive the car for testing?) for those 5 aspects which you highlighted - comfort, performance, handling, design, interior
2. where you test it? (eg. highways, city, uneven roads, uphill/downhill/windy road)
3. your grading of 1 to 20 should have more info and not just a number on a scale. split it into a few sections like 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20 for example. we dunno how you feel so its best you put some explanations to those 1-20 values so everyone can understand your standards. otherwise, it is just guessing.

doing an unbiased review for cars isn't easy. good luck. :wavey:

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

When i say what's your benchmark, i meant your 9/10.. 10 = considered what levels? what car? but seriously, i appreciate what u've did here.. great job man :) good for awareness

1. explain how you test it (eg. when you say long distance, how far you drive the car for testing?) for those 5 aspects which you highlighted - comfort, performance, handling, design, interior
Comfort - mean will do test it on our daily road, bumpy road and long distance too
Performance - mean will test on accelerate and top speed, on daily road, uphill, downhill and highway too
Handling - means will test it on cornering in uphill, downhill sharp cornering, daily road and some car will tested on self call personal track too.
Design - means the factory exterior design, are it cool?
Interior - means the factory interior design, are it cool


2. where you test it? (eg. highways, city, uneven roads, uphill/downhill/windy road)
- highway, daily road, uneven road, uphill/downhill road, and even self call personal track (actual is public road).


3. your grading of 1 to 20 should have more info and not just a number on a scale. split it into a few sections like 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20 for example. we dunno how you feel so its best you put some explanations to those 1-20 values so everyone can understand your standards. otherwise, it is just guessing.
- marks like 1/20 means very poor, 5/20 means poor, 10/20 means average, 15/20 means very good, 20/20 means perfect. So mark will given 1/20 till 20/20, the higher x/20 means the better the car was performed.

Sorry I no ideal on it, but this is just my review and feel it had a lot of under-steer when enter hard and sharp cornering. Other people might got his opinion, I no offend.
