1998 Honda Prelude SH (186)

11-02-1998Autolove No comments

Overview:

Let’s take a look at the Honda Prelude this week. It comes in a base and SH models. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy the ride, but it just isn’t my cup of tea. I think they are great for young singles or newly married couples who want to...

1998 Honda CR-V

01-02-1998Autolove No comments

Overview: If reaction to the CR-V in America is as good as its introduction in Japan it will do great. It Honda's newest sport utility they say is virtually the same size as a Honda Passport and is14 inches longer than a Toyota RAV4. It is all-wheel-drive with 4-wheel double wishbone...

28-01-1998Autolove No comments

[gallery link="file" ids="3259"] Overview: This week I got practical in the Mazda Millenia S, 4-door sedan. After a series of racy sports cars like the BMW Z3 and the Porsche Boxster, it's important to get my feet back on the ground and then into a car for more than two people. Too...

Overview:

Automobile is from the Greek autos, "self" and Latin mobilis, "movable". But this weeks Porsche Boxster (from the "boxer" engine design and "roadster" from the open, two-seat design) comes to us from Stuttgart, in the south of Germany. Just a hop-skip-and-jump over the Alps into Italy. Kind of...

1998 BMW Z3 Roadster (Convertible) (181)

07-01-1998Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I had the opportunity to revisit a man’s Miata, the BMW Z3. I drove the first year (1996) model and it looks pretty much the same. Not so surprising for cars that come to us from Europe. I've driven most of what BMW (Bavarian Motor Works) has to...

1998 Toyota Supra (178)

17-12-1997Autolove No comments

[gallery link="file" ids="3790"] This week’s Toyota Supra was a quick trip back to the Mitsubishi 3000 GT we did a few weeks ago. These two cars are very similar, not only in looks, but in features and performance. Both are exciting cars to drive which reminds me that life is too...

1998 Audi A-6 (176)

03-12-1997Autolove No comments

Overview: This week’s Audi A-6 is a triumph over much of the past product put out by the company. Like the BMW, Audi’s were just too expensive to maintain. Brother John’s experience from running a foreign car repair service business for many years was my barometer for the cars to stay...

1998 Mitsubishi Diamante ES (175)

26-11-1997Autolove No comments

[gallery link="file" ids="3428"] Overview: This week's Mitsubishi Diamante ES is a mid-size 5-passenger sedan that is obviously in the hunt and eagerly competing in this market. Mitsubishi has only been in the American market since 1982. My first impressions were that it was nicely elegant. It reminded me of the Lexus LS400, even...

Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 (174)

19-11-1997Autolove No comments

Overview: This week's Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is a car I've been wanting to test for a long time. Finally I get to drive it and it falls on my birthday. Boy did I feel my mortality when I noticed it is becoming a little harder to get in and out of...

1997 Volkswagen Passat GLS Sedan (169)

15-10-1997Autolove No comments

Overview: Two years ago I drove the VW Passat and was impressed. Today it's even better, which goes to show you that we do learn from history, contrary to popular belief. I found this newer evolved Passat to be a wonderful mid-sized 5 passenger family car. It not only has nice...
