Ratings System

[PetrolTed]

You may have noticed that the 911 Targa review now includes a system that allows you to rate cars.

Anyone got any feedback/suggestions on the gizmo?

[Roadrunner]

Good feature. How about a rating for the actual article too? Also, how about a way of eliminating people from voting more than once. You know how some will find it amusing to alter a result, making it pointless.

It's alright Ted, but what value does it add ?

Unfortunately for most, cars like this are the stuff of dreams and numbers being drawn I don't imagine many will be able to score a 996 Targa based on real life experience.

What I DO like about it is that it doesn't name and shame who scored what, so we don't get a barrage of e mails from die hards starting "Oy, what's wrong with an XXXXX XXXXX"

I like Roadie's comments re scoring the article itself though.

If you wanted to do that, it may be sensible to drop the Byline.

Just thought it would be something else to argue about I mean 'discuss'. I'll plug in the FBS Census and we'll see if there are a majority of silent admirers

Excellent. But, instead of stars, how about something uniquely pistonheads like pies or pints

I can see it in the media now, "Yes, and the good folk over at PistonHeads have given it thier best 5 pie rating..."

cheers,

Superb! Bring on the pie icons!

[Roadrunner]

Sorry, lets have pie charts to show results!

[Neil Menzies]

Get real! This is all pie in the sky.

Forget 0-60 times, this'll be the new pieformance data the industry will want to adopt!

[Cotty]

I like the pies
I wonder how the Skoda review would come out re desirability

you could even have different pies for a good rating like a big fat ginsters for a high rating like a lambo or a skinny sad looking pie for a low rating for an allegro

I have got to stop this stuff
