Epinions Recent Reviews for vs100r

Panic Room Review: Very weak script, a formula movie with an unrealistic story line.

Sat, 13 Apr 2002 02:10:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - Just got back from watching the Panic Room. My wife wanted to see it, and I went along for the ride. I must say that I am sorely disappointed. I thought that since Jodie Foster was in it I would be able to trust her judgment and watch a good movie. The...

2002 AUDI A4: A monument to automotive engineering... And, mmmm... the end of manual transmissions?

Thu, 13 Dec 2001 20:16:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I finally got my hands on the new A4. If I told you I wanted to try a front wheel drive A4 you probably would not believe me… Why not a Quattro? Well, while I do own an A6 Quattro and can vouch for its fantastic handling and grip I wanted a front wheel...

2002 VW GOLF GTI: Cute pocket rocket, fantastic warranty, what's not to like?

Mon, 3 Dec 2001 18:45:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - The VW Golf has been a classic ever since it was introduced. A car with a place in history. Much like the VW Beetle, the Ford Mustang, the first AUDI Quattro or the Chrysler minivan. Over the years VW never dropped the GTI car. The engines changed, the...

2002 BMW 525 Wagon: A fantastic drive, a wonderfully engineered car, for a high price...

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 20:08:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - In my recent foray into the BMW world I spent several hours "playing" with a 330 sedan (see my review on epinions) and a 525 wagon. Both these cars with an automatic transmission. This review fits into the 5 series slot but concerns mostly the 525 wagon...

2002 LEXUS IS300: A great alternative to the Germans in a pretty and affordable package

Wed, 28 Nov 2001 20:45:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - First of all let me start by saying that I am not a big fan of Japanese cars in general. They tend to be well built and reliable but are also usually boring, lacking soul and have some very specific styling treats that turn me off. This car is an...

2002 PASSAT: VW got almost everything right this time... Detroit are you listening???

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 17:30:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - Many words have been written about this wonderful piece of German worksmanship. And it's only fair that most of those words are of praise. This is a truly great example of the cars Detroit should build but just does not... VW decided to go upscale with...

Could have been perfect, but one bad problem blew it... (UPDATED)

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 14:02:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I bought two of these monitors for my office upon reading recommendations on the web and trusting the Hitachi name. Here are my views:

PROS:

I only use Invar mask/aperture grid monitors because my eyes are very...

Great unit, clear sound, great price, almost perfect.

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 13:45:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I have owned this unit for almost 3 years now. I use it for music, gaming, DVDs and anything else you can use it for...

Here are my views.

PROS:

Superb sound with clear crisp high frequencies and a rich range of low...

2002 BMW 330 Sedan... A step back or a move up? (UPDATED)

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 02:04:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I recently attended a BMW clinic and had a chance to spend some time driving a 330 rear wheel drive sedan with an automatic transmission. No restrictions, open roads and parking lots with cones. Boy was that fun... I hope they dont sell this car as new...

A good entry level printer for home use

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 01:42:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I have had this printer for a while and use it for plots, text and photos. Here are my views.

PROS:

This printer is cheap to buy. And it uses modest amounts of ink so I can say it is fairly cheap to operate. This is a major...

2002 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE: One of the nicest American sedans in the market (UPDATED)

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 01:22:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I recently had the opportunity of driving this car for a week and about 2,500 miles in the Colorado Rocky mountains.

The scenery was gorgeous and the roads a delight. Roads made for German cars really. So when I got my rental Oldsmobile I was a...

A real gem when it comes to 19" flat screen monitors.

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 20:34:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I must start by saying I am very picky when it comes to monitors. I looked around for a monitor for a long time when my old Samsung fried. I returned a couple (including a new Samsung). And finally I found this gem... I took some risk ordering this on...

Fantastic sound for a fraction of a standard Les Paul cost

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 18:57:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - The Les Paul Studio is a great guitar. (period)

That said I bought my two Studios used for $600 each and there was not a single chip on them, they had hardly been used. So for those who complain about price they should look at the used market...

Apple Epson Stylus Color 900 InkJet Printer: Fine printer for the money but not cheap to operate

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 18:27:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - Bought this printer as the main office color printer. This printer has been very reliable and was a breeze to set up. Have used it for about 1 year now. Here is my two cents...

PROS:

Fantastic photo quality. Really...

1996 Volvo 850 Sedan: Great car for the money

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 17:31:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I bought my 96 850 in 99 while still under factory warranty. Have now put over 30K miles on it and have yet to have any expenses with it besides maintenance. This is a very finely built car for the price. Not quite at Mercedes or AUDI level but close and...

2001 CHEVROLET CAVALIER: Nice car for the money, but probably not the best (UPDATED)

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 14:34:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - Recently had a major service in my car and the dealer gave me a Chevrolet Cavalier to drive for a week. Here are my thoughts...

This is a nice car for the money. It is roomy, looks good, is comfortable and has a fair amount of features. You...

Olympus Camedia C-2100 UZ: Perfect for people who like manual photography

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 14:08:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - This is my 4th digital camera. I bought it primarily because of the large telephoto zoom lens and because of the large array of manual features. The Olympus name helped too...

Let me start by saying that this is not the best point and shoot...

PhotoAccess Online Store: Great site, love the digital camera format prints!

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 00:19:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - I have used digital cameras for years and have used several web based printing labs. Like shutterfly.com and ofoto.com. While ofoto did deliver better prints they had a more difficult interface and I needed to crop my 1600 by 1200 pics. I love the...

I love my V6 Camaro, fast, sexy, fun and a great value.

Sun, 25 Nov 2001 23:28:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - PROS: Fast V6 car with this manual transmission. This car is a great head turner. It handles decently. It has great traction even in snow, if you know what you are doing and use 2nd gear often. It has plenty of cargo space if you have up to two people in...

2001 LINCOLN TOWN CAR: How not to spend your $40,000 (UPDATED)

Sun, 25 Nov 2001 23:14:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author vs100r - Recently got rear ended and had to have my AUDI A6 in the shop for body work. Got a rental Lincoln Town Car to replace my A6.

PROS: As I said in the title. Large car, almost too large. But I like big cars. The ride is smooth and silent. And...
