Test Drive: 2014 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited

24-03-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison Subaru as a brand means lots of things to lots of people. For some, it’s a brand that dares to be different. Quirky types appreciate the little things such as boxer engines, and love it or hate it styling. Others see Subaru as the only brand that gets it...

Test Drive: 2014 Honda Civic Coupe EX

By Kevin Harrison I’ve been a fan of Apple products ever since I can remember. My dad went against the grain back in the early 90’s and bought a Macintosh computer instead of going IBM. Turns out he was on to something. Since then Apple has clearly revolutionized itself to be one...

Comparison: 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring vs. 2014 Volkswagen Passat TDI Highline

03-03-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison A while back I did a family sedan comparison of the Mazd6 and Nissan Altima. Both were redesigned and both were promising to be more fuel efficient than the model they replaced. Both used different methods to achieve better efficiency – one tuned and tweaked the engine itself, while...

Test Drive: 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

20-02-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison Some people thought I was crazy to actually want to drive in Toronto - downtown Toronto included - for this year's auto show. Then they thought I had absolutely lost my marbles when I told them what I'd be driving: a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, one of the largest...

Comparison: 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited vs. 2014 Hyundai Tucson GLS

09-02-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison As much as we Canadians love our compact cars, we equally love our compact crossover utility vehicles, which, let’s face it, are just tall wagons. There is a boat load to choose from in our market that’s why thought it would be a good time for a comparison test. I...

Test Drive: 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

02-02-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison So, you’ve forgotten that Lincoln exists… I don’t suppose anyone could blame you. After decades of Ford slapping on a Lincoln badge to Ford product, there wasn’t really a compelling case to pay the premium for one. Therefore, no one really bought any Lincolns. That’s why you’d be forgiven if...

Test Drive: 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 2LT

22-01-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison Donovan Bailey was once known as being the fastest man in the world. His sub-10 second run in the 100 meter sprint made history. Us Canadians were pretty proud. His achievements on the track spoke for themselves but that didn’t stop Bailey from voicing it as well, most notably...

Test Drive: 2014 Toyota Corolla LE CVT

02-01-2014Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison You can't get the new Corolla in beige. Shocked? You probably shouldn't be. Even though the Corolla does just fine in terms of sales, it isn't exactly what you'd call an interesting car. Which is funny because there isn't anything necessarily wrong with it. You see, other cars are...

Test Drive: 2014 Buick Regal Turbo AWD

31-12-2013Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison I'm starting to think GM really wants Atlantic Canadians to drive Buicks. I've had an unusual number of Buicks as press vehicles over the years, specifically of the Regal. I've had the Regal GS, the Regal e-Assist and now I've had the opportunity to try the Turbo all-wheel drive. I...

Test Drive: 2014 Mazda3 Sport GT

13-12-2013Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison I was actually going make this a comparison review. My plan was to pit the new Mazda3 against the new Toyota Corolla - both completely redesigned, both with panache and presence within the segment and both promising to be better than the model they replace. I also wanted to...
