I've subscribed to CU for at least the last 8 years. I don't
always agree with their ranking of products, but I always
consult them before making a major purchase. Some of the areas
they rate are not areas of my concern. As an example, some 
smaller cars are under-rated (in my opinion) because of lack
of back seat room. My family doesn't really need back seat
room. Additionally, my company was second in the ratings for
long distance companies because the first rated was cheaper.
They did not put too much importance on the fact that the first
rated company *only served fifteen to twenty cities*. Thats nice
if you live in one of those cities. 

What I'm really trying to say is that CU is a very useful
tool, but it is not the answer to all questions. They know this,
and their subscribers know it as well.
