17-04-2003Autolove No comments

[gallery link="file" ids="1507,1508,1509,1510"] Overview: This week I tested the 2003 Subaru Baja AWD mini crew cab truck. What a cute little car and the looks you get from young people indicates what market Subaru is after. Overall I found the Baja a fun car to drive that will not appeal to people over,...

2003 Nissan Frontier 4WD SC V6 Supercharged Pickup (441)

10-04-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the 2003 Nissan Frontier 4WD SC V6 Supercharged Crew Cab Pickup. Boy that's a mouthful, but it is a lot of truck made especially for the kind of trip I made into Mexico. The venture gives meaning to “Off Road”. But that is where the poor of...

2003 Nissan Murano SE 2 WD (440)

02-04-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I tested the all-new 2003 Nissan Murano SE 2 WD. But they are also available in an AWD (All wheel drive) version. But don't buy it for its off road prowess. There is no low gear for serious off road use. I like its quick steering and generally this...

26-03-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I took a break from the daily boredom of get up, go to work and went off roading in the 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4 WD. A friend has a 1942 Army Jeep and we took them together. The Old and New. Well, the first thing that happened is...

2003 BMW Z4 (438.5)

19-03-2003Autolove No comments

Another View: This week I had the opportunity to visit with an open critic of the BMW Z4 Roadster. To the naked eye – mine – I didn’t see the problem, but then I’m not a car designer. Merkel Weiss is a professor and automotive design engineer who’ve I’ve known for many...

2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Turbo (437)

12-03-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I finally got to test-drive the 4-cylinder Turbo version of the PT Cruiser. I had felt back in 2000 that this car / truck / SUV would not only be a trip back in time, the price would surely go up once the demand pushed production. Prices didn’t...

2003 Infiniti G 35 Sedan (436)

05-03-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: I have to tell you I do like this Infiniti G 35 passenger sedan - 90%. It is a little sportier than the I 35 that I tested last week. They are about the same money. It was introduced in 2002 and is an indication of how aggressive the new...

2003 Infiniti I35 (435)

26-02-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I had the pleasure of testing the Infiniti I35 passenger sedan. I always liked the Q45 luxury and look, so this is a nice update of the I30 with similar grill look and the feel inside is similar yet smaller than the Q. It sports more features than...

2003 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 Quad Cab SLT Turbo Diesel (434)

12-02-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: I thought the Hummer was big. I forget how big a dualee Ram 3500 is. 6-speed on the floor to transfer the power of a very capable 6 cylinder Cummins Turbo Diesel. I noticed the fenders were a different red from the body of the truck. It made perfect sense...

2003 GMC Envoy XL 2-WD (433)

30-01-2003Autolove No comments

Overview: Ok GM, this 2003 GMC Envoy XL 2-WD makes sense, but why can't we get more mileage out of a two-wheel drive? You guys simply have to do better. I've been complaining for many years that we can put a man on the moon, but we can't seem to drive...
