2012 Honda Pilot: The evolution of the automobile4.5/5

These days, things seem to be shrinking to the point that they are practically microscopic (you should see the incredibly small video camera that I got for Christmas and that I’ll never use to more than 20% of its potential). And in this miniature world, engines have fewer cylinders but …January 15, 2013

2013 Honda Civic 2013: Much better this time!

You don’t have to be a serious car buff to know that the 2012 edition of the Honda Civic was off the mark. The public expected more from Canada’s most popular car, but last year’s model offered only the slightest modifications – and not all of which were for the …December 4, 2012

2013 Honda Accord: All new and all good!3.5/5

After spending a long time perched at the summit of the mid-size sedan category, the Honda Accord has kept a low profile for the last few years. Sure, people recognized its good qualities, but it was criticized for lacking “flavour.” Engineering seemed to have trumped passion. For 2013, the Accord …November 30, 2012

2013 Honda Accord: Nice harmony, but a few shortcomings

Santa Barbara, California — In 2008, the eighth generation of the illustrious Honda Accord was outwitted by the Chevrolet Malibu, which edged it for the title of Best New North American Car. For its ninth generation, the Japanese intermediate wants to take back top billing, but will its performance be …September 26, 2012

2012 vs. 2009: Has the Honda Civic really regressed?4.0/5

Since we first saw it in Canada as a concept car (January 2011 at the Montreal Auto Show), the new Honda Civic has faced some very harsh criticism. Basically, articles underscoring critics’ disappointment and dislike of the 2012 model abound. These comments reached Honda’s upper management, who promptly promised changes …March 1, 2012

2012 Honda Civic: Oatmeal on wheels!3.0/5

The history of motorized transport is one that is, for the most part, mind-numbingly boring. Whilst historians crow and preen over red-blooded Italian sports cars and purposeful 4x4s, the reality is that for most, the automobile represent little more than an alternative to public transportation. For every car that raises …December 30, 2011

2012 Honda Civic: Emotionless3.5/5

When the new 2012 Honda Civic was introduced, auto journalists didn’t exactly welcome it with open arms. And judging by their comments, consumers haven’t given it a warm reception either. Why is Canada’s bestselling car facing so much criticism? The simple answer is that it has taken an elitist turn …December 22, 2011

2012 Honda Civic Si: Friendlier and faster for better or worse?3.5/5

In 1963, Honda Motor Company decided to finally make the jump from motorcycles to automobiles. Already having championed the cause of small, reliable, and ultimately fun motorcycles, the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer leapt into the car market with their diminutive and friendly S500 sports car. With independent suspension at all …December 17, 2011

2012 Honda CR-V: A journey into the familiar4.0/5

With the Honda CR-V approaching its sweet sixteen, it seemed like a good time for some changes. This little freshly revamped SUV has enjoyed a lot of success since its launch in 1997. And it intends to remain a leader in its category. Following the old adage, “if it ain’t …December 1, 2011

2011 Honda Odyssey: Boldly going where... wait... Never mind.3.5/5

I'm not exactly a Trekkie... not truly. Sure, I've watched my fair share of The Next Generation (like, all of them), languished in the religious overtones of Deep Space 9, and endured a special love/hate relationship with Janeway's crew on Voyager, but I've never dressed up in some weird costume, …November 18, 2011

2011 Honda Accord Coupe HFP: Limited distribution but guaranteed fun4.5/5

I must admit that I’m not totally sold on the current generation Honda Accord. Although its engines and transmissions are remarkable, this latest version leaves me wanting. It’s bigger, longer and that little spark that made the Accord fun to drive is now all but gone. What’s more, while the …June 16, 2011

2012 Honda Civic: Put to the test4.0/5

The Honda Civic has been the best-selling car in Canada for 13 years running, which is – you have to admit – no small feat in a very competitive environment. Needless to say, the task of updating this model wasn’t easy. When a car is as universally acclaimed as the …April 27, 2011
