2003 Saturn Ion

2003 Saturn Ion

Review:  I’ve read a lot of negative review about the Ion, but I liked mine.  Never had any problems with it, loved the plastic panels – no rust, no dents.  Even the center mounted dash was great once I got used to it.  I also liked the small steering wheel, it made it very easy […]

Honda Element

Honda Element

Review:  Either the worst car I ever loved or the best car I ever hated.  It was just that kind of vehicle, when it good it was very good – it could hold an unbelievable amount of stuff and was good in the winter.  Also, decent gas mileage for a 4-wheel drive.  On the other […]

2010 Kia Soul

2010 Kia Soul

Review:  My wife loved the alien green Kia Soul the moment she saw it.  Rather than fight it out I did what any good husband would do and caved.  I should have fought.  After a year my wife was tried of the noisy engine, hard ride (even harder seats) and overall low-quality feel.  I never […]

2007 Jeep Liberty

2007 Jeep Liberty

Review:  One of my buddies and I have been driving Liberties for years.  He is on his second, i’m still on my first.  When I bought the Liberty I test drove a 2007 Honda CRV, a 2007 Kia Sportage and a Suzuki Grand Vitara.  The Liberty blew them away.  It rode better, handled better and […]

2010 Toyota Rav4

2010 Toyota Rav4

Review:  One of the least fun cars I’ve ever owned.  At first I thought having the spare tire on the tail gate was a good idea, but I quickly learned to hate it.  Because of the tire the tail gate has to swing out to the right, it isn’t hinged at the top like most […]

2010 Toyota Prius

2010 Toyota Prius

Review:  Before I bought the Prius my wife and I had owned five other Toyotas between the two of us.  I purchased my first, a Camry, in 1988 and loved it.  Just a great car, as were all the others Toyotas we had owned so I was pretty excited about the Prius. I don’t know […]

2004 Mini Cooper

2004 Mini Cooper

Review:  I bought the Cooper as a birthday gift for my wife and for a while she really loved it.   Even though windshield cracked for no reason, that wasn’t the reason we traded it after two years.  The main reason was my the amount of attention the car drew, my wife began to feel […]

2003 Subaru Baja

2003 Subaru Baja

.Review:  The only truck I’ve ever owned.  Dumbest thing I ever did was trade it in on a Volvo. The Baja was fun to drive, great in the winter and I was able to load my son’s entire dorm room into it.  Only drawback was there was no bed cover for it so anything in the […]

Chevy HHR

Chevy HHR

Review:  I’d wanted a PT Cruiser but they were just to small and according to a friend, not very well made. The HHR was cheap, and thanks to the 5-speed manual, fun to drive. If the engine had more power it would have been a contender. As it was, the HHR got good gas mileage, […]
