2019 Chevrolet Traverse Review: A Perfectly Fine Family Vehicle
The latest generation of the Chevrolet Traverse combines no-nonsense features and room with a decent drive. It’s an easy choice to make.
Sometimes, overthinking something is pointless. I do it far too often, especially with two small kids. This could considered part of the curse of parenting but thinking about what they’ll wear, eat, do at the park, how they’ll...
2019 Volkswagen Jetta Review: Still Good But The Competition Has Caught Up
The new Volkswagen Jetta remains as competent as ever as a compact, well-built car to get around in. The competition has caught up though.
There was a time when Volkswagen sat alone in the gap between cars for the masses and luxury brands, for the few who could afford such things. Up until a decade ago, VW truly stood unchallenged...
2019 Volkswagen Atlas Review: The World’s Biggest VW Is Good
This is one instance where arguing that the Volkswagen Atlas is not a true VW is pointless. It is selling like mad.
I was among the first to be horrified to learn that Volkswagen was pulling the plug on the Passat wagon in the first few months of this quickly dissolving decade. The new VW Tiguan had made its appearance,...
2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i Review: The New Ultimate BMW
The new BMW X5 has no immediately visible flaws – it does everything well. It could be all the BMWs to almost everyone.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV Review: Too Little, And Too Much
The Chrysler Pacifica PHEV is unique and although a fine vehicle, there may be a number of reasons why it remains unique.
There are no two ways to tackle the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid minivan: it’s really expensive, despite federal and provincial incentives and it only partially delivers on its efficiency potential – that is if you principally adhere...
2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC First Drive Review: Subtle Revolution
We take our first ride in the new 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC.
Oslo, Norway – We could have been driving around in a Koenigsegg, we probably wouldn’t have gotten as many looks from Norwegian passerby. Electric vehicles are a big deal in Norway, and there are actually more EV sales than traditional combustion vehicle sales.
Granted, the Scandinavian country has made every...

2019 Hyundai Kona EV Review: Fantastic EV for the real world
Within a 35-minute timeframe, I faced the worst of the EV-owner experiences. Also, the new Hyundai Kona EV is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
The new 2019 Hyundai Kona EV is lava at the moment. There’s always hype around a new electric vehicle but the Kona’s hype is different. It differs because the Kona is affordable (as EVs go at the moment),...
2019 Ford Ranger XLT Review: There’s but one real question: Ranger or F-150?
The heat is on in the midsize pickup segment and we have Ford to thank for it. The new Ford Ranger is every bit as good as we expected but there’s a but…
I feel like we’ve been talking about the new Ford Ranger for years. And it’s been even longer with the new Ford Bronco! Thing is, with the...
2019 BMW M850i xDrive Coupé Review: BMW Can Do A GT
The new BMW M850i is the best 4-seater grand touring coupe in the world. There, I said it.
Being a sub-mid-level Auto Critic has its advantages. One of which is getting the occasional call from a carmaker offering me the opportunity to review a car. Of these calls, some allow me to select a booking date while others inform me...
