2017 Car Review: 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona Review By John Heilig

2017 Car Review: 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona Review By John Heilig

Needless to say, I drove the Daytona fairly conservatively. Of course, I had to check the acceleration once or twice. But generally, driving conservatively didn’t wake up the twin loud exhausts. However, the car did attract attention of a different kind. We went to a local town to take a ride on their train. As we pu ... Continue reading

2017 Ford Escape SE FWD Review By John Heilig

I know Ford Escapes are popular vehicles because I see a lot of them on the road. But, in my area of the world, we also see a lot of Subarus, and overall, they aren’t that popular. But I was surprised to learn that it sits only behind the F-150 among Ford’s vehicles in popularity. ... Continue reading

2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium Review By John Heilig

2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium Review By John Heilig

Fusion is Ford’s mid-size entry and it’s a good one. The styling is conservative, just like the others in its class. You don’t want to get too aggressive in the styling department in the fear that you might alienate a segment of the population. Over the years, the Fusion’s grille has grown and has become more A ...

2017 Kia Forte5 SX Review By John Heilig

2017 Kia Forte5 SX Review By John Heilig

Surprise! The Forte5 (there’s a sedan version as well) offered good ride quality with a minimum of road noise. Road noise was dependent on road surface. On concrete a significant amount of road noise entered the cabin, making enjoyment of the audio system and basic conversation difficult. However, on smoother road su ... Continue reading

2017 Nissan Rogue SL AWD Review By John Heilig

The Rogue proved to have nice road manners. It is a vehicle I drove all day without any aches or pains. The heated front seats are comfortable and two-toned with brown and black leather. A feature my wife appreciated was the deep sun visors. Many cars come equipped with thin visors that can’t do their job when the su ... Continue reading
