I see your point and agree... I dislike the tests that "score" the cars as so many of the measures are subjective as you note. I often think the magazine knows, on an overall basis, which car they prefer and then you wonder if they score things to get that result. Maybe the right result but they have to score individual items to get that result.

I'd much rather they simply comment about the car and then pick and overall winner based on which they preferred... nothing annoys me more than scoring a car for trunk space or silly things like that which are largely irrelevant for most people buying cars like this.
