I was invited to participate in the Chevrolet Impala Drive Event this week. I've already written about the golf and the whiskey tasting, and I'll soon write about my tour of the GM plant in Oshawa, but this entry is about the 2014 Chevrolet Impala we drove from Oshawa to
I was invited to participate in the Chevrolet Trax Canadian Winter: Urban to Rural program. I'll write in more detail about what this amazing event entailed later. This entry is about the 2013 Chevrolet Trax we drove from Ottawa to Montebello and Kenauk and back. Size, I suppose, is relative.
I recently wrote that the Lincoln MKX was the biggest car I've ever driven. That's no longer true. In fact, it's not even close. The Ford SVT Raptor is now by far the biggest automobile I've ever driven. You gear heads will get off on the 6.2-litre V8 with
I'm still driving the Lincoln MKX lent to me by Ford. Although I thought I hated big cars, I've never had more fun driving an automobile. It's also been the largest car I've ever driven, but that's about to change. Ford saw me make that claim, and offered me an
I picked up a brand new 2011 Fiesta 5-door hatchback SE from Ford today for an 8-day test drive. I recently drove their new Taurus for a couple of weeks, but the Taurus is both out of my price range and too big for my tiny driveway. The Fiesta is

I mentioned I'm taking a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid for a week test drive. I picked it up this morning and drove it around town, and here are some quick initial thoughts. When you turn the ignition, there's complete silence. The only indication you've turned the car on is a
Last year Ford gave me a Ford Focus for a week and I took it all the way to Meaford. Next week they're giving me a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid to scoot around in and I'm planning to drive it to Pinery for a little camping. I don't know much
I mentioned Ford was going to give me a Ford Focus with Sync technology to test drive. This morning I made the trip to Oakville to pick up my new wheels. I got a great tutorial on this Sync technology. I've got my Blackberry and iPod synced up and it's
