Too much difference of opinion?

Various auto magzines express their opinions on various aspects of cars that they test drive.  While there may be some differences, if these are too wide then I think doubts are created how they do the test drive.  A scrutiny of their views regarding ride quality of Honda Brio revealed that how different was their opinion.  Following are views of various magzines given in their exact words-

1.  Auto Car India

What’s surprising is that it rides quite comfortably – the suspension is quite absorbent and silent at low speeds. The short wheelbase, however, does mean it tends to get a bit choppy over uneven surfaces and the ride isn’t as consistent or flat as that of some rivals.

2.  Zigwheels

Where this little Honda really, really impresses is in the ride and handling department. With its absolutely brilliantly damped suspension, driving over bumps, potholes and undulations is something you would barely notice.  So whether you are taking your family on a relaxing drive through the countryside, or enjoying that occasional B-road blast, the Brio does it all with the utmost of ease.

3.  Overdrive

Ride quality, I'd bet safely, is one of the best in the segment and that is something the typical consumer will appreciate highly.

4.  B S Motoring

The ride setup is rather soft, which is fine when you are generally puttering around town, but not so good once you are out on state highways.

So, while two of them saying it to be very good, the other two have termed it good only on good roads.  How is that?
