Do you trust online review sites?

My friend was planning to buy a 2nd hand car since his is getting too old. He was choosing between 2 cars (forgive me but I don’t remember car models well) and he decided to read reviews online.

He first landed on a website of a 2nd hand car dealer and most of the reviews there were very much positive of both cars. However, when he went to a car forum and he realised that quite a handful or drivers aren’t that happy with one of the model.

He went on to do more research and realised that some or most of the review sites tend to not publish all submitted reviews… which seems rather fishy.

  1. This is an interesting topic. There are all kinds of people, so I don’t usually trust the reviews at 100%. However, some are helpful and I always look for reviews when it’s possible.
