2017 MINI Clubman John Cooper Works ALL4: Not for the right reasons3.5/5

I’ve written many times about how I disagree with the direction BMW’s MINI brand took a number of years ago. Be that as it may, I cannot deny that MINI has done reasonably well for itself over the last short while with the introduction and reintroduction of many new and …July 6, 2017

2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet: Who Could Ask for Anything More?4.5/5

We talk a lot about the Mercedes-Benz E-Class , and rightfully so. This car comes in four variants, including sedan, wagon, coupe and cabriolet, not to mention the world-rocking AMG versions. It’s no wonder that the company has become the number-one luxury brand in the United States. The E-Class Cabriolet …July 4, 2017

2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport: a Capable SUV with an Edge4.0/5

A couple of years ago, the Land Rover Discovery Sport replaced the aging, but capable LR2 model as the company’s answer for regular people wanting luxury combined with off-road prowess. I characterise the LR2 as “aging” because it was a design which first debuted way back in 2006, and was …July 3, 2017

2017 McLaren 570GT: The indelible mark5.0/5

There are cars that strike a deep chord. In my case, it’s generally about the drive, more than the styling, outright performance or technology. Driving a car is what’s most empowering in this world, unless you fly planes or save lives for a living. Driving is nearly everything to me. June 30, 2017

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan: Seven Passengers, Three Versions, One Engine4.0/5

With 68% of new vehicles sold in Canada being pickups or SUVs, it’s easy to understand why manufacturers put so much effort into developing sport utility vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Traditionally, Volkswagen hasn’t been a major player in this segment, but it’s hoping to make up for lost …June 29, 2017

2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe: In a Class by Itself?4.5/5

Mercedes-Benz's vehicle lineup has never been so diverse. From affordable models to supercars, from wagons to SUVs of all shapes and sizes, the manufacturer has something for everyone. After last year's introduction of the 10th generation of its E-Class sedans and wagons, this year sees the arrival of the third …June 27, 2017

2017 Jeep Compass: All Flash, No Cash

The new 2017 Jeep Compass is the only true 4x4 in the compact utility vehicle segment. Yes, the “little” Jeep has grown enough to get an upgrade from the subcompact SUV category. However, will this be sufficient for consumers to accept its price—now much higher than the first generation’s—an underwhelming …June 26, 2017

2017 Nissan Qashqai: a Veteran Newbie to the Segment4.0/5

Nissan Canada invited The Car Guide to drive the all-new Qashqai subcompact crossover at a media event in Montreal. Qashqai represents a major North-American product launch for the company particularly because they expect it to be the brand’s second-bestselling vehicle in a very short period of time—behind their Canadian sales …June 23, 2017

2017 Nissan Qashqai: We’re Driving it This Week

Nissan Canada’s best-selling vehicle now has a smaller sibling called the Qashqai. Measuring 12.1 inches shorter than the Rogue, the Qashqai is a subcompact crossover aimed at young urban singles and couples looking for more versatility than the average sedan.

2017 BMW 330e: Boosting a Stalwart3.0/5

The BMW 3 Series is an industry stalwart if there was ever one. Every kid and his grandmother are, at the minimum, aware of the car’s existence. The 3 Series is the reference on what a compact luxury sedan should be and as a result, most other manufacturers use the …June 19, 2017

Meet the 2018 Volvo XC604.0/5

Barcelona, Spain – Woody Allen once said, "Eternity is a long time, especially towards the end." Volvo seems to have reached that point and has decided to completely update its best-selling XC60 after a long career that spanned ten years and over a million units sold. So it’s a fresh …June 16, 2017

2017 Mazda CX-9: (Finally) Stepping out of the Shadows

For the second generation of its seven-passenger SUV, Mazda has opted for a “small” turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It chose this powertrain for the sake of fuel economy, while the competition is still relying on V6 engines. A risky strategy? Let’s take a closer look. Please check out of photo gallery …June 12, 2017
