Week of November 5th

11/5/12

  • 2002 Ford Explorer: This is really the Big Mac of vehicles. Nothing offensive, nothing interesting.
  • 2004 Lexus RX330: Not so hot, more sort of a Toyota+
  • 2010 Lexus RX350: Much nicer than the 04, interior is way better, as is the gearing.
  • 2003 Dodge Ram 2500HD SLT 4x4: BIG TRUCK!
  • 2002 Ford Taurus SES: The Airbag cover and steering wheel are one piece, meaning when the airbag goes off the whole steering wheel must be replaced. Reprehensible.

11/6/12

  • 2007 Nissan 350Z: Comfortanble even for long trips like the one this went on over 200 miles. Great engine response!
  • 2004 BMW 760i Sport: The bones of this car are amazing! Smooth V-12, Tight Sport suspension, but the interior and trim seems to be very sensitive to abusive owners.
Power like getting a shove by the hand of god.

11/7/12

  • 2008 Porsche Cyanne Turbo: Gobs of power, but why not just get the Touareg?
  • 2006 BMW M6 Convertable: I think it's MORE fun as a convertable! BIG OPEN AIR POWER!

11/8/12

  • 2000 Lexus RX300: Nice for 2000, didn't age very well.
  • 2005 BMW 545i Sport: This really does drive better than a non-sport 545. Good tight turn in, Firmer ride.

11/9/12

  • 2004 Toyota Corolla S: Well built, but not powerful enough to deserve an "S".
  • 2004 Ford Escape Limited: Nice unibody CUV, not as "delicate" as the japanese CUVs.
  • 2000 Volvo S80: Big and solid, Swedish cars have a very common feel. Just Solid.
