Honest car reviews both big and small
Dominant Toyota Tacoma a stylish, muscular pickup Trucks are macho, always have been. But as our society becomes more confrontational and in-your-face attitudes more commonplace it’s only natural truck styling sheet metal follows suit. Today’s Toyota Tacoma will go toe-to-toe with any pickup in the attitudinal Olympics. Its fenders bulge like a body builder’s abs... Continue Reading →
Subaru Forester remains spunky, sure-footed Subaru’s Forester remains one of my favorite small SUVs because of its handling, spunky power, smooth CVT, quiet interior and sure-footed AWD capability. That doesn’t even get at its other attributes, like reasonable starting price, good gas mileage, comfortable interior, top-notch safety rating and its overall usefulness. The Forester was...

Restyled Honda Pilot roomier, improved overall The Honda Pilot has been a reliable big box of a sport-utility vehicle for years, nothing fancy, but usual Honda quality and solid build. For 2016 the Pilot is restyled and rounded to give it a smoother more refined look, one that might be confused with Buick’s Enclave. In... Continue Reading →
Sorry Chevy, lighter Ford F-150 still a strong hauler The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States virtually forever and there’s a reason for that, it’s a darned nice truck. Now that it has an aluminum body and notwithstanding the funny Chevy commercials poking fun at it, it’s even better. It’s... Continue Reading →

The Outlander is good, but it sets no new bar for small sport-utilities, or crossovers. Yet it does raise the bar considerably... Continue Reading →
Kia Sorento, a crossover that will haul seven people Kia’s Sorento is a fine crossover that will haul up to seven folks and look good doing it. The 2016 model is the continuation of a revamp from a couple years ago and the tested pearl “snow white” test vehicle was the top-level SX Limited... Continue Reading →
Volvo XC90 not mainstream, not good with details Volvo has never been mainstream and it’s not about to start now. Its new XC90 crossover that replaces a quite dated crossover of the same name is a high-end luxury vehicle that offers typical Volvo safety and substance, but drops the ball on a variety of details. First,... Continue Reading →
First Lexus turbo turns up the juice in angular NX F Sport If I were selecting a smallish sport-ute solely on looks Lexus’ NX would be my first choice. I like its angular lines, its exciting sporty appearance, its 3D taillights and its front lights that appear to be large checkmarks laid sideways. I like the... Continue Reading →
Rogue grows to happy medium in SUV/crossover market Nissan restyled its entry-level crossover, the Rogue, last year to give it a less trucky appearance and smooth its ride along with its appearance. It works and offers a little more interior room and overall length than most small SUVs, like Toyota’s RAV4 and Ford’s Escape. Rogue... Continue Reading →
Durango R/T is SUV that looks like a racy minivan Dodge generally doesn’t try to blend in as a brand, favoring bolder styling than most competitors. That’s what some of us like about Dodge. Dodge’s Durango though is a bit different in that it stands out from other large SUVs, especially with its wide... Continue Reading →
