"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. ...

2018 BMW 640i xDrive GT Review Touring At It's Best By Larry Nutson
Nov 4, 2018
Coupe body styling on a 4-door sedan is somewhat popular these days with entries on the market from a number of brands. I happen to prefer those that are very car-like without some of the SUV attributes such as increased ride-height. I am also a big fan of station wagons. We’ve owned a number of them, even after our ... Continue reading

"New Car Review: 2018 Toyota C-HR XLE Review" By John Heilig
Oct 29, 2018
Okay, let’s be honest. The C-HR is not a performance sedan by any means. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter four pumping out 144 horsepower. Acceleration is casual, but with a couple of miles under our belts we learned to work with it. Still, it had more power than my old MGA. The engine is connected to a CVT transmission ...

The Accent, however, has a wide enough trunk to carry the clubs “horizontally” without having to lower a seat b ... Continue reading
