"New Car Review: 2018 Toyota C-HR XLE Review" By John Heilig
Oct 29, 2018
Okay, let’s be honest. The C-HR is not a performance sedan by any means. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter four pumping out 144 horsepower. Acceleration is casual, but with a couple of miles under our belts we learned to work with it. Still, it had more power than my old MGA. The engine is connected to a CVT transmission ...

2018 Hyundai Accent Limited Review By John Heilig
Oct 27, 2018
Redesigned this year, the Accent takes full advantage of its size and offers larger car convenience. For example, compact cars usually require me to lower at least one rear seat back to carry my golf bag. The Accent, however, has a wide enough trunk to carry the clubs “horizontally” without having to lower a seat b ... Continue reading

New Car Review: 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4 SEL AWD Review By John Heilig
Oct 7, 2018
New Car Review: Our Outlander Sport was equipped with 4-wheel drive. The button to shift into 4WD is located on the console ahead of the shifter. It’s a good location and it’s clearly marked. Dimensionaly, the Outlander Sport fits in with the competition. ... Continue reading
"New Car Review: 2018 Genesis G80 AWD" By John Heilig
Oct 1, 2018
The Genesis G80 is conservatively styled, almost Mercedes-Benz-like. The lines of the G80 are almost boxy, yet this “box” large enough to carry five passengers in comfort. If bench front seats hadn’t gone the way of the dodo bird, there would even be room for six. There’s even a small solid panel in the middle ... Continue reading
The Auto Channel; Enjoy The Drive: 2018 Dodge Challenger GT Review by John Heilig +VIDEO
Sep 30, 2018
2018 Dodge Challenger GT - While we had driven a V8-powered version earlier, the GT comes across as a far more civilized vehicle. True, simply blipping the gas pedal in the V8-powered car emits a healthy roar (I’m almost afraid to listen to the Demon), the 3.6-liter V6-engined GT creates a roar, but a gentler one. ...

2018 Chrysler Pacifica Limited Review and Road-test By John Heilig
Sep 30, 2018
The only disadvantage to a softer ride came up in our hillclimb test. In this, the roads wind and some of the turns are tight. The Pacifica exhibited a tendency to lean in most corners and showed boat-like qualities. On most roads this isn’t a problem, but you should be aware of it if you normally encounter winding r ...

2018 Ford F-150 Review By John Heilig
Sep 25, 2018
First, the Big Papa, the F-150. Ford’s pickup has been a best-seller for four decades, and it’s easy to see why. It is solidly built with a host of features. Our tester was powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged V-6 that delivered a healthy 325 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. A 3.5-liter V6, 5.0-liter V8 are als ... Continue reading
