They have that "tendency" to destroy every other car if it's not Vag or Ford. They are dinosaurs of motor journalism. I'd take it "okay" if they've rated a car 3 stars while others rated it 4. Just check French manufacturers, Fiat for my point. Autoexpress rated new Captur 4.5/5 Whatcar rated it 3/5. Megane is 4/5 in AE, 2/5 in WC. Let's see a direct comparison; they rated interior quality of VW T-Cross which is full of hard plastics 4/5, and 3/5 for Renault Captur which is mostly pronounced as "best interior in the class, even better than some cars class above" by other magazines. If i could rated WC 0 stars out of 5, i'd easily do that. Moral point of that bias from an engineer standpoint; they are being disrespectful and injustice to every employee worked for that "destroyed" car. Such a shame. I wouldn't use WC even as a doormat.

What a waste of space, unless you are one of the growing number of German car worshiping sheep that this country is plagued with, you are wasting your time and money. From an industry insiders point of view I can assure you that German cars are overhyped, overpriced and incredibly unreliable but strangely this magazine worships everything they produce. I think if Audi/VW/Mercedes etc put a badge on a dog dropping What Car magazine would give it 5 stars. Don't fall for the hype and save yourself time and money by avoiding the biased rubbish written in this magazine and website.

Totally agree JD Power survey bares this out. you cant expect a magazine that advertises German cars to say anything against something that is better . I can tell you that I believe the polo Blue Motion fitted with a central arm rest is a dangerous car ,If you have driven one you will know what I mean.
