Week of October 1st

10/1/12

• 2008 Ford Taurus SEL: Overall great car, great engine, but why does it have an SUV sitting position?
• 2005 Honda Element: HUGE INSIDE! Good ride. Better than the CR-V!
• 2007 Toyota Highlander: Good solid SUV without trying to be a "Truck".
• 2002 BMW 330Xi: the E46 is the perfect BMW. Great even at 100,000 miles!
• 2006 Cadillac CTS: Soft ride, but defiantly a Cadillac.

10/2/12

• 2002 Toyota Hilux 4dr. SE5: Fantastic near the floor seating position. Comfortable for 200 Miles! Smooth and stable.

10/3/12

• 2006 Chevy Impala LTZ: Poor design, piss poor build quality, wont keep a lane. OK design and build ethic for a small pickup truck, NOT for a family sedan at its price.
• 2006 Chevy Cobalt: Great economy car. Seems like it was built with the same budget as the Impala. Good for something in the economy car segment, not so much for something the size of the Impala.
• 2005 Ford F-150 4x4 Crew Cab: Essential Truck, but trying to be too big.

10/4/12 

• 1998 Ford Taurus V6: It's old, but it's not bad.
• 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer: truck.

Something seem ODD to you?

• 2006 Ford Fivehundred AWD: A pretty nice car ruined by a terrible seating position.
• 2007 Chevy Malibu LS: It's a car. No frills, no panache, but it's a car and it's good at being a car.

10/5/12

• 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer EvoX SE: Long trip out to Butler, PA. Totally worth the risk of a triple digit ticket. Bit thirsty at a highway mileage of 18 MPG. Truly more racecar than road car, but still comfortable driving at high speeds on regular roads.

Bye Evo! 

• 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid: Battery gives this car great balance. Drivetrain is fantastic and smooth. Cool to go 35 MPH on just electric, but needs some kind of pedal feedback so you know when it will go into engine mode.
• 2007 Honda Accord: This is a much better car when it's not trying to be "Sporty". Avoid the V6.
