2011 Kia Sorento

Trim: EX
by Ramona on 08-20-2015
Suprisingly Luxurious
Have had this car for a week now and am delightfully surprised at how comfortable, powerful and smooth driving this vehicle is.

The arm rest is a bit on the low side as I am short and have the seat raised up, this is very low on my concern level though.

Fuel mileage is really good on the highway, could be a bit better in the city.

So far so good! Not looking forward for winter but excited at driving this vehicle in the snow.

1994 Nissan Pickup

Trim: Short Box
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Running Machine!
This truck was my first introduction to Nissan.

It was a running machine! I put over 350,000kms driving across the States from Nebraska to Kentucky to Florida.

It was one of the smoothest vehicles I have ever driven, for a small truck that is a very big feat. Even after all those miles it drove straight and true. The only weakness was the transmission, I had it rebuilt twice in that time. I did also haul large quantities of hay with it so my abuse may have had something to do with it...

Other than that, the engine never had work done on it besides oil changes and new spark plugs.
It did start to rust out on the wheel wells, it was a sad day when I parted with it to buy a car because I was due with my second child.

1983 Mazda B-Series

Trim: B2000 Short Box
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Went forever
This was my first introduction to Mazda. It was also my first 1/4 ton pickup.

It took massive amounts of abuse from me...I hauled way too many bales of hay for my horses with it and drove it across the country to Nebraska.

I don't remember a time that it did not start...I put over 300,000kms on it and it was still running when I sold it.

2011 Nissan Altima

Trim: Sedan
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Simple and Comfortable
Simple and comfortable inside. I rented this vehicle on a business trip and was not surprised that it was a smooth drive.

I didn't get to drive the sporty coupe version...I was in a sedan but I still feel like I had enough power for my liking, I was able to pass with ease on the highway and get a quick start at stop lights.

Fueling up was not painful either...it was relatively efficient.

2012 Ford Expedition

by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Luxury, Comfort and Power
I had the pleasure of driving this vehicle on a business trip.

I feel am able to speak to the reliability of this vehicle as it was -37 and it started the next morning without being plugged in.

This is one comfortable ride! I'm a small person so I was a bit lost in the large driver seat but everything and I mean everything was adjustable...including the pedals.

Being it was so cold and I was required to work outside having heated seats was a true blessing.

I personally couldn't afford to pay for the gas on a regular basis but it sure was fun to have all that power and comfort even for a couple of days!

It's too bad I didn't have a hockey team to haul around...there sure would have been room for them!

2012 Chevrolet Malibu

by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Family car
Rented this vehicle for 3 days.

It was spacious, smooth to drive, quiet and surprisingly fuel efficient considering it is a mid-size sedan.

It's what I would consider a good looking family car.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander

Trim: ES
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Comfy
Drove this car as a rental during summer months and I only drove it within city limits so I don't know how it handles the highway and higher speeds.

As far as the city driving is concerned it drove smooth and quiet.and was very comfortable. I had lots of room in the drivers seat and plenty of storage in the back.

2012 Mazda CX-7

Trim: S
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Power and control
I had the privilege of driving this crossover during a business trip to Saskatoon early in the year.

I was delightfully surprised with the unexpected power and ability to handle the not-so-great winter conditions of the prairies.

I'm a small person so there was plenty of room for me in the drivers seat but I'm not sure a tall person would find it as spacious as I did.

I was a bit shocked when I went to refuel...it took a bit more to fill then I had anticipated for the amount of driving that I did.

2012 Nissan Altima

Trim: Sedan
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Comfortable ride
I drove this car as rental on a business trip and was pleased with the comfort it provided.

It was spacious, offered enough power to navigate around vehicles on the highway and held the road well as I was driving in the rain for most of the trip.

I can't help but feel there is room for improvement on fuel efficiency but I do have a habit of reaching the speed limit quickly....

1970 Mercury Comet

Trim: GT
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Giddy-up!
This was my first car! It had more power in the 302, V8 than a teenager should own!

It was definitely a cruisin car with a lot of muscle! It had a sleek body with a scoop on the hood and rear spoiler. It was made to stand out in a crowd.

2012 Buick Enclave

Luxurious and comfortable.
I had the privilege of driving this luxurious crossover as a rental vehicle on a business trip that involved highway as well as city driving.

What a treat! it had all kinds of power to pass and was surprisingly good on gas...even with my lead foot.

It was comfortable and quiet. There was just me in the vehicle but it definitely had tons of room.

2004 Chevrolet Aveo

by Ramona on 10-16-2012
Good starter car
Owned by my niece. It's a good starter car but got hung up on snow a few times due to the small tires...good news is, it's so compact that it only took a few people to lift it off the snow.

Fuel economy is great, good starter car for a girl...it's cute and compact.

2005 Toyota Corolla

Trim: CE

Reliable
My sister-in-law has owned this car for the last 4 years and raves about how great the fuel economy is and how low her maintenance costs have been, oil changes, brakes and tires...that's it.

She lives 45 minutes out of the city, drives in daily to work...she has put almost 200,000 km's on the car and plans to keep driving it for another 200,000!

1988 Chevrolet Silverado

Trim: Short Box
by Ramona on 10-16-2012
I loved this truck!
I went from a little 1/4 ton pickup to this truck and thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

It was spacious inside and looked good outside.

It was used hard, sadly it eventually showed. It was very hard on transmissions...or maybe I was....who knows.

Long and short of it was, that it was a smooth highway drive and I loved it,

1994 Ford Ranger

Old Reliable
I bought this truck 3 years ago to use to clean up the yard site of my new home.

I've also used it to haul wood out of the bush. It can't take the hauling weight that I'd like but it gets the job done...just takes an extra trip or two....
