Honest car reviews both big and small
Inexpensive new Patriot fills roll as soft-roader I like the Jeep Patriot for what it is, an inexpensive sport-utility truck that’s available with four-wheel-drive. In that, it’s simple and straight forward and has a much Jeepier look than its twin, the Jeep Compass. Let’s get this out of the way up front. Compass and Patriot are the... Continue Reading →
Beetle drop-top reflects heritage of 1950s models Simplicity is its own reward, but it’s often accompanied by modest cost and a style that stands out in today’s overwrought world.Such has always been the case with Volkswagen’s simply shaped Beetle.

Ixo's Ford GT40 models offer good detail, value in 1:43 scale Ford’s GT40 is the most beautiful enclosed race car ever made, and one of the most successful too. That’s my design bias, but the GT40’s success can’t be argued. Funny thing, it was created to settle a score at the highest levels of the automotive... Continue Reading →

Subaru adds some macho to its 2014 Forester Simply put, I have a new favorite small sport-utility vehicle, the 2014 Subaru Forester. While the rest of the small ute world is going toward crossover status and swoopy designs, the Forester, one of the early crossover/utes with AWD, is going away from that. It’s going all...

Hybrid is good on gas mileage and easy on the eyes Ford’s new Fusion might do well to co-opt the old Miller Lite motto and tweak it a bit - Looks Great, Less Filling! That seems apt for Fusion’s hybrid model, which was my first full drive of the swoopy new Fusion with its fastback... Continue Reading →
Smooth, quiet, but Volt packs power too Chevrolet’s Volt is the leader of the hybrid pack when it comes to performance. It’s quick and handles almost like a sports sedan. I know what you’re thinking, “No Way it’s quick!” Ah, but you’d be wrong. The difference between the plug-in electric hybrid Volt and a gas-powered... Continue Reading →
