Test Drives

-HOW IT LOOKS.Well, pretty much the same as it did when it came out for the 2008 model year. Sure, they changed the fenders, front and rear end a few years ago. To make it “less round”. Otherwise it pretty much looks the same as ever. Especially the interior.I personally love the design. So I’m… Continue reading VW New Beetle Test Drive

-HOW IT LOOKS. The new Maxima is definitely one of these cars that does look better in person. It is a very impressive looking design, with plenty of personality. It doesn’t look like a “big Altima” anymore. The previous generation did. I did notice something I haven’t seen for a while though: a couple of… Continue reading Nissan Maxima Test Drive.

One of the 1st test drives of the Indian version of the Nano.Again, different from the one we’ll get over here. With a larger engine, longer wheelbase, revised interior etc…

-HOW IT LOOKS.I loved the “old” FX when it came out. It was really one of the most striking design out there. With this and the first Murano, Nissan was on a roll.But when I saw the first pictures of the new one, I hated it. I thought they ruined it. But things changed when… Continue reading Infiniti FX35 Test drive

-HOW IT LOOKSWhen the 1st generation Murano came out, for the 2003 model year, I thought is was one of the best looking and modern design on the road.And I think it still is. the new one, like almost all current Nissan designs, looks like a more complicated version of the previous model.The front end… Continue reading Nissan Murano test drive

This is really not the type of car I would drive on a regular basis. The super sporty type small sedan isn’t really my thing. I like a sporty car to have only 2 doors myself.But I had the opportunity to drive this Mitsubishi for a whole week, so why not. The Ralliart costs $27… Continue reading Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Test Drive

-HOW DOES IT LOOK?I always liked the look of the Infiniti G35 coupe. And I thought, when I first saw pictures of it, that the new G37 was just an updated, slightly melted down version of the 1st generation.But the new car does look striking in person.Very classy and just aggressive enough. A really good… Continue reading Infiniti G37 Coupe test drive

Finally I got to actually drive the Miata for a week.I was really curious to compare it to the Solstice Turbo I drove a few months ago.The model I had was a “Special edition”.That comes only in a blue/silver color with a very dark brown interior leather.-HOW DOES IT LOOK? The Miata has always been… Continue reading Mazda Miata test drive

There is nothing new about the 350Z. We’ve all seen it. Many times. But I was always curious to see how it drives. I usually do no drive sports car, and when I do, I try to see if they make good every day cars as well. Plus, the all new 370Z isn’t even out… Continue reading Nissan 350Z test drive.

As I said before, this is a newly available combo for 2009.The small engine on the top of the line model. With the new 6 speed auto.First, I think the Aura is a very good looking sedan. In its 3rd model year, I think it still looks better than the Camry or Accord.Especially in metallic… Continue reading 2009 Saturn Aura 2.4 Liter test drive

This one from Popular Mechanic.No mention of price of fuel economy. And they actually don’t say much about how it drives. It looks like they drove it as some Nissan presentation of the new 2009 Maxima. But still. They seem to like it. More if you click on the title.
