Week of October 29th

10/29/12

  • 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 SLT HD: Great power and HUGE towing Brakes!
  • 2004 Ford Taurus SE: BLAH?
  • 2003 Acura MDX: This is a LUXURY SUV?
  • 2005 Chevy Impala: It doesn't even have a DOME LIGHT!?

10/31/12

  • 2004 Volkswagen Jetta: Like putting on a well worn pair of boots. The MkIV aged real well, except for that "soft touch" plastic. That stuff should be banned.
  • 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor: CUV, it sits like a chair, rides like a box.
  • 1979 Honda Trail 90: It's like a scooter meets a mountain goat. Can't wait to ride it to work in the spring. 100 MPG!
It does however need a bit of work to be road legal again.

11/1/12

  • 2005 Subaru Baja: Feels lighter and more responsivethan the Outback. I want this turbo engine in my Outback. "Metal" trim instead of "wood" so you know it's "tougher".
  • 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE: Too much form over function. Like an "idea" of the old Eclipse, but only visually. Quick initial turn in, but then washes out, back end does nothing, it's just allong for the ride.
  • 2007 Nissan 350Z: Very track oriented car. Stiff and well planted; good power anywhere in the rev range.
It's like a car version of Mega Man.
  • 2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4: Meh...

11/2/12

  • 2006 Saturn Ion: Tight, much more euro than the old Saturns.
  • 2005 Ford Explorer: Bleh, so middle of the road. When it's not flipping off it.
  • 2011 Volvo C70 T5: Incredibly solid for a hard top convertible. Good power and good auto transmission
  • 2009 Volkswagen CC: Too tiny inside. Ok Headroom, but the door entry is way too low, I hit my head EVERY TIME.
