I thought this review was ok but clearly flawed.

They pointed out a bunch of stuff that either doesn't matter or can be changed or is just inaccurate.

They lauded the color choice of the bmw, but you can change it. They didn't mention CarPlay in the BMW at all. They called the merc very stiff but said it's the best for daily driving? They said the Guilia needs better tires for the track even though it comes with the most track capable tires of the bunch and they didn't try to explain why it was still slower than the BMW. They harped on the small middle seat of the BMW/merc not realizing that middle seat isn't for adults, it's so you can put a car seat in. They said it was a bad thing the BMW wasn't "relaxed" on city roads but then said it was a good thing the Alfa wasn't.

They made some good observations during their in depth review sections but their conclusion makes no sense based on what they said in the rest of the article.

This is becoming all too common with reviews, trying not to make a manufacturer mad. Take a stand and make a choice but your evidence should support your conclusion. This article fails at that.
