Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Drive in a hybrid-specific fuel-sipping manner, you will garner significant fuel savings. However, drive it conventionally, as I do all my cars, and a hybrid is little different than a conventional automobile of the same size and power. That’s in complete contrast to diesel-powered cars, which show a modest advantage when driven timidly but really [...]

The Once and Future Mustang: A Look at the Future of America’s Best Loved And Only Pony Car

The Mustang has been one of the top automotive icons from Detroit since the end of World War II. A lot of Camaro owners would disagree, but of them we ask, “So where’s your Camaro now, sport?” Requiescat in pace, that’s where. Now, as the Mustang moves nearer to its first floor-to-ceiling makeover since 1979, [...]

2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE

In case it doesn’t, the six-speed in our 3.5SE test car can be swapped for a four-speed Jatco automatic with a manual shift mode at the same trim level, or even for a five-speed Aisin automatic in the more-luxury-oriented 3.5SL model. These largely negate issues with torque steer and throttle response. The brakes on the [...]

The Chevrolet Aveo

The Chevrolet Aveo, which was offered as both sedan and five-door hatchback models, first appeared on Canadian roads in 2004. What set it apart, at least back then, was its perky style – its design was penned in Giorgetto Giugiaro’s renowned Italdesign studios in Turin, Italy. When it landed, the Aveo was available in base [...]

The Taurus SHO

Is the SHO back? In literal terms, yes, Ford now sells a car called the Taurus SHO, but is it the original SHO’s spiritual successor? My first SHO experience was circa 1990. I was in high school, and a friend’s dad had bought one in black-on-black. It certainly didn’t have the status of my dad’s [...]

What You Need to Know in Getting Vehicle Insurance

In this article, I want to point out some very serious mistakes owners make after their collector car is damaged in an accident. Insurance companies, even the ones that carry policies specifically designed for old cars, are not in the business of restoration. Despite this, after an accident, many owners try to persuade the adjusters [...]

The Highlander

Even if you are ill-informed about new cars, getting into the Highlander is a subliminal lesson on how to masterfully design a car-driver interface that works with intuitive ease. The Highlander’s interior is a good example of how Toyota has become an undisputed powerhouse in the automobile industry. Behind the wheel, all it takes is [...]

The Volkswagen AG

Volkswagen AG, whose cars have been known to have nagging reliability problems, is hoping Passat sedans rolling out of its new $1-billion factory here won’t need a lift from the city’s historical hallmark – tow trucks. Nearly a century after claiming its fame as the birthplace of the wrecker, Chattanooga is again in the automotive [...]

The SH-AWD

So, in specific conditions – such as hard cornering on a slippery road – as much as 70 percent of the engine’s torque can be had at the outside rear wheel, precisely where you want it for optimum handling. Indeed, we get to test the benefits of that vectoring at the Carolina Motorsport Park where, [...]

The New 2012 Acura TL

I really like the look of the new 2012 Acura TL. It’s sharp and sleek with just a soupcon of sportiness – just what you’d expect from a Japanese luxury sedan with pretensions of elegance. The reason I hate to say it is because I actually liked the look of its predecessor – the one [...]
