There is actually a big reason why someone would not tell the defects on his car. It is hard to tell the world that your car is the most amazing object while it costs thousands of dollars every year to maintain.

Yes I completely agree. This site is one of the better car review sites, better than a glossy biased magazine style site anyway. Was talking to a friend not long ago who has a taxi service here in the UK. One of the most popular cars for taxis here is a Skoda Octavia. They regularly get used for years and mileages above 300,000 miles are common, they are reliable cars if looked after and still run well at that mileage and get sold on. Was asking him what gets replaced on those cars through the years and he said all the usual stuff - Brakes and suspension pretty much entirely, alternators commonly fail around the 100K mark, exhaust, etc. So if I read a high mileage review of one of those cars I can believe it, even if they leave out maintenance items by simply forgetting. For example that car requires timing belt changes around the 80K mark, so you kinda have to assume the reviewer of that car has done that (probably 3 times in its life as a taxi) whether they mention it or not.
