2007 Mazda Miata
I find the interiors very cramped and small in the Miata, but it still offers great performance and awesome fuel efficiency and it offers a sporty look and a very good ride on the highway

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
the Grand Caravan is really great to drive on the highway. the available rear captains chairs give kids the space they need on long drives, and they also seat adults comfortably. the Stow n go seats are a breeze to operate and within minutes all the rear seats are hidden in the floor and that leave plenty of cargo room. this van also has great acceleration on the highway when trying to pass someone.

2007 Jeep Patriot
The Patriot offers outstanding fuel economy. With this vehicle you cam also opt for 4X4 and in Canada that's a very good option to have. I like to think the exterior of this Jeep has a lot of similarities with the 90's style Cherokee, it has a lot of the square hard angles in the styling. All in all this jeep offers the best of both worlds City functionality and country side off road fun.

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 8
this SUV is Boss!!! extreme performance, Extreme looks, so impressive. this Jeep is a head turner for sure, the super big chrome 5 spoke wheels are the nicest Factory wheels you will see. The car literally pulls you in to the seat when you touch the gas pedal. the seats are incredible comfortable and the sound system is really good.

2007 Dodge Magnum
The Magnum offers loads of cargo space and awesome passenger space as well. The Super dark window tint of the rear windows creates a very sporty look on the exterior. the really big bold wheels also add to the sporty factor. this vehicle also has a higher door panel so you really feel safe inside it. because Chrysler placed the battery and other components in the trunk for weight distribution this rear wheel drive car handles very well on the highway.

2005 Chrysler Crossfire
This vehicle comes in some of the most unique colours for car exteriors and interiors. This vehicle has loads of bells and whistles, it even has a rear spoiler that adjusts itself with the speed you are going. The available Convertible top folds quickly and automatically in to the trunk so your good to go instantly. This car has plenty of pep and the power will surprise you. All around this is a great sports car.

2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
the PT Cruiser offers loads of flexibility when it comes to passenger and cargo space. Having the convenience of a hatch back and a 60/40 split back seat and a front passenger seat that folds forward is really handy. Even with all the seats being in use it still has a lot of trunk space to offer. I find the PT Cruiser has excellent visibility, with few blind spots. It's a really great point A to point B Car.

2012 Dodge Challenger
The Challenger is in the same vehicle class as the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camero, all 3 offer a nostalgic exterior vehicle styling to look like the old muscle cars of the same names. The Challenger offers a 2 door coupe style body with ample room for the front passengers and an ok amount for the rear passengers. Everything about this car screams sporty and high performance. The rear wheel drive really makes the car corner and drive amazingly. The most fun you'll have on 4 wheels!

2007 Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger offers a very sporty exterior look and an extremely comfortable ride on the inside. the trunk space is Awesome and the available Boston Acoustic Stereo is crystal clear sound at your finger tips. the 3.5L 6 cylinder engine offers get up and go performance while still maintaining fuel efficiency.

2005 Jeep Liberty
The 2005 Jeep Liberty offers a city friendly look, it's not big and boxy like you would expect a Jeep to be. But it is quite capable off road, and that, you would expect from the Jeep badge. The interior is very comfortable, but with the higher center of gravity you do tend to get a bumpier ride. They make excellent vehicles for our unpredictable weather all year round in Canada. I find you get great visibility in the Liberty because of the nearly vertical front windshield, and also the added bonus of a full size spare tire mounted to the back and the convenience of the rear window wiper.

2009 Dodge Avenger
2009 Dodge Avenger is very responsive in the steering and the throttle. this vehicle offers a really sporty look on the outside with the alloy wheels and rear spoiler. It also offers extremely comfortable seating and plenty of leg room in the back seat. The Avenger also offers a very high sidewall to the doors that create an added sense of security. It's a very fun looking and riding car.

2005 Dodge Neon
I drove this vehicle plenty of times in 2005, when it was brand new. I found the seats to be very comfortable and the stereo sound system worked really well and gave a very clear sound. I found that driving this vehicle on the highway it produced a lot of road noise but in the city it was fine. it gave pretty decent fuel economy and for the base model, with the base price it was a very good car.

2008 Dodge Caliber
The Dodge Caliber Screams functionality, the 4 door hatchback lay out creates a huge amount of cargo and passenger space. Bold exterior styling makes the Caliber look very aggressive and sturdy. They also offer the option of alloy wheels that really complete the look, in my opinion. When driving the Caliber you feel in complete control (not like with some other manufactures were you feel like you will fly directly off the highway if the right gust of wind comes along.

2010 Toyota Matrix
My parents have owned a Toyota Matrix for about a year now. they love it. They drive out to our family cottage twice a week, the drive is about an hour and a half all on open highways. The Matrix, for them, is an excellent choice, plenty of room to keep cargo dry on the ride out to the lake. The passenger space is great! They haven't had any issues maintenance wise. They plan to drive it for the next ten years.

1989 Jeep Cherokee
This was an extreamly reliable car. I got into an accident in my Jeep and it, quite honestly, held up like a tank. My friends and I all left the scene unharmed. the comfort was quite average for an SUV and the performance of the 4x4 and the in-line 6 Cylender engine were great assets in the Winter. This jeep has a great amount of Cargo space and excellent visibility due to the almost completly vertical windows.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Well you know how you use to play with those Tonka trucks in the sand box when you were a kid? Yes that's exactly what I think of when I see or drive an FJ. they are styled, I assume, to look like toys. Also due to the short wheel base they handle off-road situations similarly to the Jeep Wranglers. the suicide doors to get into the back seat of the FJ make it extremely easy to get in and out of. if you like seeing people smile as you drive by get this SUV.

2002 Hyundai Accent
I find the Accent to be a great every day use type of car. I find it to be very rickety and wobbly on the highway but in the city at lower speeds it's great. The fuel economy is incredible and the reliability is astounding. On the 2 door hatchback model I find the back seat to be sufficient for kids, and on shorter distance rides adults are fine. there is also a fair amount of trunk space.

2010 Mazda3
This car is very comfortable, and drives reasonably well on the highway. the best part about this vehicle is the interior styling dash, moldings, seats, deep windshield. And the exterior styling with all the curves and the "smiling" front grill. This car has a good amount of wheel well space to make sure you don't get stuck in the deep snow of Canadian winters. also Mazda's as a general rule are very reliable.

1993 Monte Carlo
Very Comfortable seats. it's also very easy to get in and out of the back seats, that's not usually the case in 2 door coupe style cars. The engine is very responsive and full of performance. Huge amounts of trunk space and fairly nice exterior styling. It's an excellent choice if you like a 2 door but would like the space of a full size sedan.

2009 Ford Ranger
This is a great highway hauler. The back seat of the cab is perfect for kids, and the box is great for everyday use. It really holds it's own while in 4x4 but you also have the luxury of switching to 2WD on the street. I like the exterior styling of this 1/4 ton truck. on the highway it doesn't feel like it's on of the smaller trucks on the market, it drives like a 1/2 ton truck without the high fuel cost.

2010 Nissan Sentra
I have driven this car on a few occasions, I find it very roomy, plenty of head room and leg room. The 4 cylinder engine provides very reasonable fuel economy and it drives fairly well on the highway. this vehicle also has a few bigger blind spots. this vehicle has great trunk space for a mid size car.

2008 Ford Escape
I find the Escape to have an overall average SUV type of a ride. You can definitely feel the bumps on the highway and Ford didn't really go overboard on the styling of the interior or exterior. Great cargo space and passenger area is comfortable. Fuel economy is good on the highway.

2010 GMC Sierra
I rented a Sierra last summer to get landscaping supplies for my yard. It was the truck for the job, lots of cargo space and the engine didn't miss a beat even when loaded up with soil. Plenty of interior space and really great visibility on all sides, I found it was very easy to park and the drive on the highway was really good.

2002 Honda S2000
Wow. This is not a Civic in any denomination, the only thing they have in common is the bagging. Incredibly sporty and responsive ride. extreme exterior styling and performance. I found the interior to be cramped and the interior controls hard to find. Also very little trunk space.
