Test Drives

 The all new Rogue’s design is quite an improvement over the previous generation. It does look a bit like a small version of the new Pathfinder. But better, I think. It is a more modern and stronger design than its big brother, which ends up looking a bit soft.  Same thing inside, where it has… Continue reading Nissan Rogue Test Drive

I had the chance to finally drive the Ford Fusion a few days ago. Different versions of it actually. In person, it is as good looking as in pictures. This is easily one of the best looking sedan around, at any price. The fact that it is affordable is even better. It does prove that… Continue reading Ford Fusion test Drive

 The new Impala is a great looking car in person. For some reason, many pictures do not reflect how good looking this car is in real life. It is quite large, and isn’t trying to look any smaller. The 19-inch wheels on my test car looked great (Part of a $1140 Premium audio & Sport… Continue reading Chevrolet Impala 2.5 Liter Test Drive

 The new Pathfinder looks OK. But it has lost all of its personality. Which is a good thing as far as the way it drives. But as far as the design, it now looks like any other large crossovers out there. Except for the big and cheap looking “wannabe truck “ chrome grille. Which is… Continue reading Nissan Pathfinder test drive.

The Spark might be familiar in other countries, but it is all new to us . And it is quite amazing that a US manufacturer offers such a small car in the US, as it is only about 3 inches longer than a Fiat 500. And it has 2 more doors. It looks just fine.… Continue reading Chevrolet Spark Test Drive.

 I drove the Juke last year, and really liked it. But at the time, the only one available was a CVT with AWD. Which, to me, isn’t the most interesting combo. As I have no use whatsoever for AWD or 4WD. And I remember complaining about the obvious and quite annoying Turbo lag. I was… Continue reading Nissan Juke 6MT test drive.

I had to return the Passat TDI yesterday, but not before taking it for a few drives on the freeway.Where the diesel really shines.My gas mileage was between around 53 and 58MPG. Quite amazing.And far better than the official numbers. And similar to what I got last year with the Golf TDI. I have no… Continue reading VW Passat Test Drive. Part three.

Today was time to return the Volt. This car was a lot of fun, and I must say, one of my favorite car to drive.And fun to be in as well.It is a very nice, modern and well finished interior.And I do like the 2 bucket seats in the back. As most cars never carry… Continue reading Chevrolet Volt. Part four.

I must say this was a moment I will remember for a long time.My first time behind the wheel of a fully electric car.It felt kind of like watching color TV for the 1st time. It’s new and exciting, and you know it will be everywhere in few years. The design itself is familiar, almost… Continue reading Ford Focus Electric test drive.

-HOW IT LOOKS.We’ve all seen it before. There isn’t anything really new about the current model.An all new one is due next year, so the 2012 Corvette looks very familiar.I do like the design, even though I think it is time for the Corvette to stand out more. Way more.And from what I’ve seen so… Continue reading Chevrolet Corvette Test Drive

-HOW IT LOOKS.Even though it came out in 2004, I think the Titan pick-up still looks pretty good.They did try to make it look more modern that the competition. Most other trucks have been redesigned since, but the Titan still seems pretty modern. -HOW IT IS INSIDE.My test truck didn’t have running boards, which made… Continue reading Nissan Titan Test Drive

-HOW IT LOOKS.The GTI is basically a sporty version of the Golf. Always has been .A few years ago they just decided to drop the Golf name. So it just looks like a Golf with larger wheels and a more aggressive front end. Which is just fine. The shape isn’t really sporty, but it is… Continue reading VW GTI Test Drive

If you have any questions, go ahead.The one I am driving is a Turbo model.

-HOW IT LOOKS.I couldn’t think of a better name. It does look almost exactly like a cube. And that’s why people would end up calling it anyway. I still like the previous version better. The one that was never sold in the US.A more original design. Which is the case with many new Nissan designs.… Continue reading Nissan Cube Test Drive.

I finally get to drive the Cube after over a year of requesting it. I’ll answer any questions you might have.
