2018 BMW 640i GT xDrive Review By John Heilig
Mar 2, 2019
Handling is excellent for a large car, aided by the M Sport Dynamic Handling Package that adds integral active steering, adaptive drive, active roll stabilization and dynamic danger control. There are times when you can be lumbering along peacefully and suddenly the road bends. The car realizes this faster than you do ... Continue reading

Under gas power, this is pure BMW. Performance is quiet, almost leading you to believe that it’s on electric drive all the time. Almost no road noise intrudes into the cabin. This is what you expect from a 5 ... Continue reading
2018 Buick Regal TourX Essence AWD Review By John Heilig
Jan 10, 2019
I must confess to a built-in prejudice in favor of the Buick Regal TourX (we own a Buick and I like wagons), but the TourX is a superb package. Maybe you need wagon experience, but this is so much better than our old Ford Country Squire. ... Continue reading

The mid-size segment is one of the most competitive in America, with a slew of vehicles from a slew of manufacturers, all seeking a piece of the pie. Most of these sedans are pretty good, and a few are better than good. The Honda Accord is one of the latter. ... Continue reading
2018 Nissan Kicks SV Review By John Heilig
Dec 10, 2018
The front-wheel-drive-only Kicks is small, built on a 103.1-inch wheelbase and only 169.1 inches long overall. I built my love of automobiles on small cars, so the Kicks fits in well, especially since an older small car has recently joined our stable. We drove the Kicks everywhere and felt confident. Sure, in some inst ... Continue reading

2018 Infiniti Q60 AWD Review By John Heilig
Nov 12, 2018
Externally, the Q60 features clean lines throughout with enough accent folds and creases to create interest. It didn’t hurt that our tester was the Red Sport version which, as you may have guessed, was red (Dynamic Sunston according to the Infiniti style book). The Q60 is lower and wider than the previous version tha ... Continue reading
"New Car Review: 2018 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE Premium" By John Heilig
Nov 9, 2018
New Car Review: 2018 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE Premium; I guess for old timers like myself, conservative styling is the way to go. Both my wife and I liked the Toyota Avalon particularly because of its muted styling. Oh sure, it has a few features that are over the top, but the overall impression is one of sedateness. ...
