Chevrolet Camaro test drive.
Let me start by saying that yellow is really not a color I would ever get on a car. (The one pictured here is actually called “Bright Yellow”…) Besides the color, I was still able to appreciate the design. The new Camaro does look great in person. A perfect blend of retro cues and a… Continue reading Chevrolet Camaro test drive.

Chevrolet Suburban Test Drive
The current Suburban isn’t new. It came out back in February 2014. There are plenty around and they sold over 50 000 of them last year alone. And that’s without counting its GMC and Cadillac clones. So, I was wondering about a few things… -Is it as good as the more expensive GMC Yukon Denali… Continue reading Chevrolet Suburban Test Drive

VW Passat Test Drive. Part three.
As I said before, I think the Passat is actually quite handsome in real life. It does have an upscale feel and look. I know most people on this blog love to hate it. But I realize this is for a different audience. Maybe a more conservative one. This is basically for people who would… Continue reading VW Passat Test Drive. Part three.
-
Chevrolet Volt test drive. Part one.
I got the Volt yesterday. For a week. It had an EV range of 45 miles when delivered to me. (Not the full 53 I was hoping for…) Still, plenty for a few day-drives. I was curious about the gas mileage when the car is not in EV mode. So I used the “hold” mode,… Continue reading Chevrolet Volt test drive. Part one.

Chevrolet Spark Test Drive
I did drive the previous Spark before. I think about 3 years ago. And I did like it. At the time, my test car was a manual, which added to the fun. This time, I got the all new version with an Automatic CVT. As far as the new design is concern, I am not… Continue reading Chevrolet Spark Test Drive

Chevrolet Trax test drive
The little Trax is pretty familiar by now. I remember back when GM didn’t want to sell it in the US. (For a while it was sold in Europe and Canada. While the US was only getting the Buick Encore version) But with a bunch of newcomers like the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3, GM… Continue reading Chevrolet Trax test drive

VW Passat 1.8 Test Drive.
I must say, the current Passat does look good. Yes, not as modern as the “all new for 2015” Euro model. But it does look like a classy ride. It is conservative looking, in a good way. Unlike the Camry, which is looking almost weird these days. It seems like a design that will still… Continue reading VW Passat 1.8 Test Drive.

Nissan Rogue SV AWD test drive.
Yes, I know. I’ve already written about the new Rogue. Not that long ago. But Nissan sent me another one for a week, so … Why not? At least it is a different version. Not a top of the line model like the 1st one I had. And it had the 3 row seat option.… Continue reading Nissan Rogue SV AWD test drive.

Cadillac ATS V6 test Drive
I have to say, I thought the ATS was really boring when it fist came out. Nothing new. And the grille was especially uninteresting. After living with one for a week, I have some different thoughts. Yes, it does look quite conservative in general. (And that grille is still quite boring ) But there are… Continue reading Cadillac ATS V6 test Drive
-
Nissan Rogue Test Drive
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
-
Ford Fusion 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

Chevrolet Impala 2.5 Liter 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
-
Nissan Pathfinder 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.
-
Chevrolet Spark 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.

Nissan Juke 6MT 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.

VW Passat Test Drive. Part three.
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.

Chevrolet Volt. Part four.
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.

Ford Focus Electric test drive.
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.

Chevrolet Corvette 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

Nissan Titan 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
