If you are thinking of buying a car in the near future then it is well worth your while making sure that you conduct your search on the internet. Although for some people, it might be daunting to buy a car over the internet, you have to remember that you actually have more recourse if [...]
The Freight Transport Association or FTA has just backed a report which may help fleets with regards to congestion. The report is titled “Out of the jam: reducing congestion on our roads.” According to the FTA the report is recommending that traffic data be shared with fleet operators. This data can be used by fleets [...]
Mazda’s been bucking the trend all along…the vehicle once called the MPV and now the Mazda 5 has never suffered from mission creep. Sales, however, have suffered, as buyers shell out for the ever-bigger not-so-minivans. For 2012, there’s an all-new Mazda 5 and….Mazda’s stuck to its guns. The 5 is 22 inches…almost two feet….shorter than [...]
Now let me stop for a second and point something out, because this is the umpteenth car in a row that TireKicker’s tested that had a standard equipment list that looks like a car loaded with options from just five years ago. And consider the price again: ,300. With all that. And 19city/26 highway. Can [...]
Try as you might (and a lot of journalists have tried very hard the past few years to poke holes in the Cayenne), it’s tough to find fault with the finished product. It works like an SUV, goes and handles like a Porsche (okay, the center of gravity does affect things…but there’s no other SUV [...]
You can shift it yourself, or as in the case of our tester, opt for the Continuously Variable Transmission, and, as we’ve noted before, Nissan makes the best CVTs on the market today. The Juke backs up the go power with stopping power…vented front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes. And for in between [...]
We didn’t do quite that well, spending virtually the entire week off freeways and on congested surface streets, so our average was only 22. Still, there’s no surprise the Cruze is selling so well, offering basic goodness and a lot of ways to step up. And then there’s the Cruze ECO, which we’ve been promised [...]
Our most recent week in one was courtesy Lund Cadillac in Phoenix, Arizona. And it reminded us just what a strong contender the SRX is. It’s a CTS with more space. A sport sedan you can fold the back seats down in and carry stuff home from the big box store. And it’s simply a [...]
do not adjust your monitor. That exterior color is real. It’s called Daybreak Yellow Mica. And it’s scarier in person than it is in pictures. It also makes the CT 200h look like a cheap little car. Which, when you’re a Lexus salesman trying to get someone to part with between 30 and 36 large [...]
Depending on where you live, there might be two or three dozen radio stations you don’t hear unless you have HD radio (they’re carried on sidebands of the AM and FM stations you get on normal radios). Some of them have interesting programming with music you don’t hear on the motherships and very few commercials [...]
