Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan S SUV. I took this on a road trip for a thorough testing and found it to be worthy of my trust. Highway as well as dirt roads, but I did not give it an off road test because it is...

[gallery link="file" ids="2085,2086,2087,2088"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Nissan Sentra 2.0 SL. Ok, so I take Mark to the airport and he says he likes it and I get to the office and Merkel says he hates it. Me – I like it and figure Merkel was having his...

08-04-2009Autolove No comments

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Hyundai Accent GS 3 Door coupe. And you must have noticed how this “South” Korean made car is one of many models so much so it’s beginning to look like a GM line up. That’s not necessarily good news, and particularly for the Japanese who...

[gallery link="file" ids="5776,5777,5778,5779"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Toyota Yaris S 5-door Liftback. It’s even more important a vehicle for the times than it was when I last reviewed it two years back, and although I’m less impressed this time around it has a lot of great points that...

25-03-2009Autolove No comments

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2010 Jeep Patriot Limited 4X4 and whoever picked the color should be shot. It’s interesting to note that consumer’s give Jeep a better rating than reviewers do. I align myself with the consumer because I have tested a lot of them and attended Jeep Jamboree’s...

18-03-2009Autolove No comments

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2010 Jeep Liberty 4X4 SUV. Wow, since I reviewed the Liberty some years ago on an Elk Hunt in the snow of southern Oregon, this SUV has put on some weight. But then I have too. As you probably already know I have a soft...

[gallery link="file" ids="3513,3514,3515,3516,3517"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart 5-door Hatchback. The Sportback is my favorite of the Lancer models because I like the rear styling and it is more of a family car. The Evolution is fun to drive with 291 horsepower and more a...

[gallery link="file" ids="1464,1465,1466,1467,1468,1469"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Subaru Forester - the little brother of the upscale Tribeca. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy luxury as much as the other guy but for a $10,000 price difference the Forester is pretty tempting. And fuel economy is 25% better. The Crest...
