2004 Buick Rendezvous (498)

26-05-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Buick Rendezvous all wheel drive AWD 4-door SUV. Why not just stop making all other cars. Then the SUV will make manufacturers more profitable and there would be one class of vehicle on the road. We're nearly half way there with SUV's capturing about 40%...

2004 VW Phaeton (497)

19-05-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton. In ancient Ethiopia Phaeton was the son of an Ethiopian princess and his father was the sun god. Was this the origin of the Phaeton name VW was thinking about or was it inspired by the elegant 1932 Ford Phaeton? My burning question...

2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport (496)

12-05-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD. I guess we just get spoiled with all the comforts of most cars and trucks these days, with lots of room, power and amenities. Perhaps this is more for the super-active lifestyle guys and gals where the image of “Rugged...

2004 Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X (495)

05-05-2004Autolove No comments

[gallery link="file" ids="3484,3485,3486"] Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X 4-door sedan. It is perky light on its feet and comfortable. It is also practical in large part because it is built by a Japanese company. Not only are Japanese cars generally better on fuel they are cheaper to...

2004 Audi TT V6 Roadster (494)

28-04-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Audi TT V6 and must say I love convertibles but I hate the poor visibility of convertibles generally when the top is up. Top down is great and putting it down is easy too. Even with the top down there is a small trunk...

2004 Range Rover, by Land Rover (493)

21-04-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Land Rover Range Rover. Is it just me or should they have named this the Ranger or something like that? This is an SUV that is noticeably “Substantial” and of high quality. You know, when you go looking for a suit or evening gown and...

2004 Ford Thunderbird (492)

14-04-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Ford Thunderbird two-seater sports car. I've wanted to test this car for a while and was happy to have the opportunity. It reminds me of my high school days and when the first T-Birds arrived on the scene. Daddy bought one for Janet Z and I...

2004 Cadillac XLR (491)

07-04-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Cadillac XLR and I'm not ashamed to tell you how hedonistically wonderful a car like this makes one feel. Fact is you don't know what you don't know until you DO know when you experience unique and different things. Many things in life are that...

2004 GMC Yukon XL Denali Review BY Mike Mavilia Overview: This week we tested the 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Denali. Using the same body as the standard Yukon XL, the Denali model dresses up the base model with a flashy chrome grill, Chrome 17” Rims as well as painted bumpers, mirrors...

2004 Chevrolet Malibu LS Sedan (489)

24-03-2004Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I drove the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu LS Sedan and I'm not one to complain, but the two ladies riding in the car on this lengthy journey complained about the seat comfort. I thought I didn't have much rear body padding, and the seats were just fine to me. Ok,...
