2017 Dodge Challenger T/A Review By John Heilig
Nov 21, 2017
Dodge has a good thing going. With the Charger and Challenger they have not only resurrected the styling of the 1970s muscle cars, they have kept the performance image, so much so that the Challenger SRT is the most powerful and fastest muscle car ever ... Continue reading

2017 Ford F-250 SRW 4X4 Crew Cab Review By John Heilig
Nov 15, 2017
We called it the BAT Mobile, for Big A** Truck Mobile. There’s no question that the Ford F-250 is, as Donald Trump would say, Yuge. It’s wheelbase alone is longer than a Fiat 500. With its outside rear view mirrors fully extended, it’s only two feet shorter than the Fiat is long. ... Continue reading

Nov 14, 2017
Fans of Scion - and there were and are many - may rue the demise of the iM under the Scion badge but will be pleased to note it hasn’t changed much in becoming a Toyota. It is still a solid compact hatchback at a great price point. ... Continue reading

2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD Review By John Heilig
Nov 7, 2017
Coupled with the red exterior is a black interior with heated white seats that is as striking as the outside. The front seats are comfortable with a decent amount of side support. You aren’t going racing in a CX-5, unless there’s a new class we haven’t heard of yet, but it’s nice to have that support for more s ... Continue reading
2017 Toyota Tundra 4WD Limited Review By John Heilig
Nov 5, 2017
The Tundra is Toyota’s full-size pickup, and as such it competes with all the American full size trucks. In this case, the Tundra is close to being the biggest vehicle I have driven, at more than 20 feet long. And just because it says “Toyota” on the tailgate, this is a full ‘Murican truck, built in San Antonio ... Continue reading

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Review By John Heilig
Oct 23, 2017
The TRD Pro looks tough. Again, according to Toyota, “its heritage-inspired ‘TOYOTA’ front grille with color-keyed surround, blacked-out hood scoop and graphic, color-keyed power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, color-keyed door handles, black overfenders, and color-keyed rear bumper” serve to separ ...

Car Review: 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring Review By John Heilig
Oct 23, 2017
the Honda Accord does a great job at its main function. It also does a great job for the person behind the wheel because of its excellent fuel economy thanks to its second generation two-motor hybrid system. We averaged 42.5 mpg in our test, and while it didn’t approach the EPA estimates, it was still impressive. Ple ... Continue reading

2017 BMW X3 xDrive28i Review By John Heilig
Oct 17, 2017
Being a BMW it also has some zip. The 2.0-liter Twin turbo 4 is rated at 240 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, but since the X3 weighs in at 4,150 pounds, it carries a relatively high 17.3 pounds-per-horsepower rating. The X3’s start-stop technology, which makes it act more like a hybrid, works to save some fuel. However ... Continue reading
