A very interesting site. It seems to try address one problem that most ratings sites suffer from, that is the subject of ratings rating themselves (if that makes sense).
Often I find that decent sites that offer ratings are prone to erroneous posting by those that are getting rated. With this site I find it comforting that they look for these bogus posting and remove them. An example would be that I performed a search on JMK where I bought my 530. It stated, "DEALER WARNING: This Dealership has written (7) reviews about themselves which were all removed. All new positive reviews will be delayed from being viewable for a period of (21) Months."
There still seems to be one of the problems that most of these 'ratings' sites suffer from which is heavily biased ratings. Often these sites only capture the most 'unhappy' or most 'happy' customer. They rarely capture the 'average joe/josephine''
Good stuff overall and good to look at in the future.

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
Which is better, a higher rating number or a lower? Mine was clear at one end of the scale.
