that aside and not to get off topic one of things I dislike about these head to heads is they only look at very select criteria - and rarely the true ownership experience of the car or brand
they were fun to read when I was a kid and got me into cars - now that I’m old enough to actually buy the cars there is way more that goes into it than someone driving a press model for a few days or a week
for that reason much of the head to head stuff becomes less meaningful to me and I’ve taken to YouTube videos from actual owners as they give a bit more insight
They've definitely had some duds, but they've been right more than wrong IMO.
It's also worth noting that EVO is pretty clear that they are basing their ratings on driving experience only, without consideration to things like reliability, practicality, value retention, ultimate performance, or commercial appeal. Within that narrow criteria they've proven to pick winners. Just don't go to them if you're looking for an opinion on anything other than how enjoyable a car is to drive.

What I miss about the old car journalists when I was a kid is that these guys were great writers who were able to describe the car and driving experience with such detail that it almost felt like you were driving it yourself. That level of journalism went away a long time ago. Talking about 0-60 3.x seconds and automatic shifts in xx milliseconds killed it.
