Week of October 22nd

10/22/12

• 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo LT: Overall Ok ride, but every sense says late 90's car, not 2005.
• 2005 Cadillac SRX: It's ok for a tall wagon CUV, but a CTS Wagon would do as good a job or better.
• 2006 Lexus GX470: The 4-Runner is the perfect covered light truck, But this one needs new rear shocks.
• 2002 Honda Accord EX 4dr. Comfortable and nice, but steering is way too light.

10/23/12

• 2003 Honda Accord V6: This drives GREAT! Smooth competent power, V6 Steering feels really good!
• 2002 BMW X5 3.0i: Too tall, too upright.
• 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Limited: I really kinda like Sync. Truck is Ok, but CG is in a weird spot, somewhere midway between an SUVs and a crew cab pickup.
• 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STi: Good low CG, but feels bigger and less powerful than the EvoX by a significant margin. Nicer interior though.

Evo wins this round.

10/24/12

• 2007 Hummer H3: Surprisingly it does ride different than a TrailBlazer. Like riding in a TONKA TRUCK, but visibility is pillbox poor.

10/25/12

• 2007 Acura RDX Turbo: Great pickup, fun turbo noise, comfortable and responsive, great primary and secondary controls. Bit too darty on the freeway, not much on center feel.
• 2010 Lexus GX460: Man I love Toyota Trucks. Fantastic new interior, but I'd rather this truck Un-Luxed and ready for the dirt.
• 2008 Ford Mustang V6: GREAT! Very American car. Drives like my old 90's T-bird did. Perfect for the beautiful sunny warm day!
• 2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV: 4 Gallons doesn't even make the gas gauge move!
• 2004 Saab 9-3 Turbo 2.0: Fun Driving, very European feel for a "GM".

10/26/12

• 2003 Ford Windstar: You can defiantly feel it is biased around the Taurus.
• 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab: Big Truck.
• 2012 Ford Focus SE: Fantastic total execution! Great Power, great maneuverability, Fantastic!
