We’ve had the C-MAX for 6 months now and the big news is the huge improvement in miles per gallon. During the winter months the C-MAX averaged a somewhat disappointing 38 miles per gallon in-town. Now that the weather has warmed up the C-MAX is averaging an unbelievable 51 miles per gallon. Keep in mind […]
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 […]
2009 Subaru Forester
Review: I liked the Subaru at first, especially the new styling, but the longer I drove it the less it impressed me. A friend of mine had an earlier model Forester and it was not as good looking, or as big, but it seemed a lot better made. Another thing I didn’t like was the […]
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 […]
