2009 Mini Cooper Clubman

Jun 12 2009

I really love the Mini Cooper Clubman, but if I were driving it every single day, I might tire of it much more quickly than I would something less toy-like.


2009 Honda Fit

Mar 04 2009

The 2009 Honda Fit manages to be fun, cute and sporty, and hold three kids across the backseat and a full load of groceries all at once. Are you surprised? I was.


2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover

Feb 23 2009

From its price and size to its all-wheel drive, nearly everything about the 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover appealed to me. The seats, however, were horrible. Note to Suzuki designers and execs: Please add the option of higher-quality seating! I’d pay more for it.


2009 Scion xD

Feb 17 2009

People who want a cheap car today can have their cake and eat it, too, with the 2009 Scion xD. Actually, the xD shouldn’t be called cheap. It’s inexpensive, and your mom will tell you there’s a difference.


2009 Volvo XC70 T6

Feb 02 2009

The 2009 XC70 oozes reassurance with its Volvo-ness. You don’t have to wonder whether you have the latest and greatest safety gadgets in this car (no wasted brainpower there). Plus, it wraps all that safety up in a very comfortable, accommodating wagon.


2008 Volvo C30

Nov 10 2008

If you love Volvo’s signature Euro-looking front end, the C30 won’t disappoint; I love the style myself. I think it looks strong, chiseled and handsome enough to be the leading man in any action flick. From the side, the C30 is youthful, sporty and appeals to anyone who loves a Volvo. But if you walk around to the car’s rear, you might be surprised.


2008 Mini Cooper

Oct 07 2008

Mini has created the perfect toy for grownups with the Mini Cooper S.


2008 Toyota Prius Touring

Oct 03 2008

Whatever your political or environmental leanings may be, the Prius is fun to drive, and if you write off the Prius due to any affiliations you have, you’re missing out.


2008 Toyota Yaris

Aug 28 2008

2008 Toyota Yaris

Remember those clown cars at the circus? The teeny-tiny ones that would drive into the center ring and 15 clowns would climb out? That was hilarious, right? Well, it’s not that funny when you’re playing the part of the clown, which I did while test-driving the 2008 Toyota Yaris.


2009 Toyota Matrix

Jul 23 2008

2009 Toyota Matrix

She was bright orange. She was a hatchback. But the 2009 Toyota Matrix S AWD wasn’t as fuel-efficient (20/26 mpg city/highway) or cost-effective as I expected (just over $24K).
