Test Drives

The Nissan Leaf is all-new for 2026, and it shows. It is such a vast improvement over the previous generation. Visually, it’s finally a very modern-looking car. Unlike the second generation, it truly looks all-new. It also has a friendly, non-aggressive design, which is very refreshing these days. Inside, Nissan has done a great job… Continue reading New Nissan Leaf road test.

I am currently driving a brand new Nissan Leaf for a few days, and the model I have is the Platinum Plus trim. Which is the top of the line for the new Leaf lineup. I have been driving up to San Francisco on a small road trip and will report on the car in… Continue reading 2026 Nissan Leaf road test coming soon.

Why don’t you join me in watching this short (but sweet) video about my experience with the Nissan Frontier pickup? The current Nissan Frontier came out in 2020 and received a mid-cycle facelift (as they call it) last year. It is powered by a big 3.8-liter V6 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. On… Continue reading Nissan Frontier video test drive.

I just got a new Nissan Frontier to test drive for a week. The version I am driving is the Pro-4X. Which is far from being the base model. As it starts at around $42,000. While the basic Frontier S is around $10,000 less. As you can see, there are a lot of different versions… Continue reading Nissan Frontier Test Drive coming up.

I personally think the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the most interesting-looking cars around these days. It reminds me a lot of the work of my favorite car designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, especially what he came out with in the 1970s and early 1980s. It just looks like a futuristic version of the first-generation VW… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 5 test drive coming up.

While the all-new redesigned 2026 Toyota RAV4 was introduced a few weeks ago, most journalists and YouTubers had not driven it yet. That happened a few days ago at an event organized by Toyota. Then all of a sudden, yesterday, the results of all these test drives appeared online. Since I didn’t get to participate… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4 reviews news are in!

We’ve been hearing about Nissan‘s “e-Power” hybrid system for years. It has been on sale around the world for a while, and yet, nothing here yet. I had the chance to drive a Nissan X-Trail for a couple of days in Europe a few weeks ago. The X-trail is basically the same car as our… Continue reading Nissan Rogue/X-Trail “e-Power” quick drive.

I was actually surprised by the news this morning. Acura has decided to kill the ZDX, and production of the EV has already stopped. Acura unveiled the ZDX in November 2023. I remember thinking it looked a bit weird, but actually much better in person at the Los Angeles auto show that month. Production started… Continue reading R.I.P Acura ZDX.

This is a short video of my 2-day drive with a Volvo V60 Cross Country. The Cross Country is the slightly raised and AWD version of the Volvo V60 wagon. And the only version of the wagon available in the US, at a starting price of around $55,000. The current Volvo V60 came out in… Continue reading Volvo V60 Test Drive video.

I had the chance to review the new Honda Passport a little while ago. And this is a very short video showing some of my experience. I have been a fan of the Honda Passport for a while. However, the previous generation was looking really old, and a new generation was really needed. I really… Continue reading Honda Passport review video.

I had to rent a car for a few days, and I ended up with a Kia Niro. Which is something I was curious about anyway. I haven’t driven any Kia vehicles for a few years and was always interested in the 2nd-generation Kia Niro. Especially since currently, Kia is offering these for the crazy… Continue reading Kia Niro EV quick drive.

The new Honda Passport is a great-looking SUV. Far nicer than the previous generation, which came out in 2018. And was based on the even older previous generation Honda Pilot The new design resembles a larger version of the Ford Bronco Sport. And it just looks really good from every angle. The interior, although very… Continue reading Honda Passport test drive.

Here are a few previously posted videos. All about cars, I have been lucky enough to drive for a week. As you can see, Honda loves grey… All good cars featured in these videos, but very few stand out in the end. The Acura ADX was not really a disappointment since I wasn’t expecting much.… Continue reading Test Drive videos.

I will be driving a new Honda Passport for the next few days. As you can see from the paperwork above, it is a loaded Elite trim. However, not the “Platinum white” mentioned as the only option. Mine is just gray… I drove the previous generation Honda Passport a couple of times and thought it… Continue reading Honda Passport test drive coming up.

This is just a short video about the few days I spent with the Acura RDX. The trim I had was the A-Spec model, which was loaded. While it is pretty quick, I wouldn’t call the RDX sporty. It handles very nicely and feels upscale. But its steering feel is always a bit too light.… Continue reading Acura RDX video.
