2017 Honda Ridgeline: The Most SUV-ish of Pickups4.0/5

The Ridgeline can be seen as a niche product. The automaker never sold many of them, but this weird-looking pickup truck succeeded in creating a circle of tightly knit enthusiasts, which is asking for more. That’s the main reason behind Honda’s decision to go ahead and develop a second-generation model. May 10, 2016

2016 Honda Civic Coupe: When Head And Heart Agree4.5/5

Every Canadian has a Civic story. If you haven’t ever owned one of the previous 10 generations of this compact yourself, you very likely have a relative or friend who did. Perhaps you did your driving test or got your first ticket in one of these little Hondas? While the …April 8, 2016

First Drive: 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid

One week. Nearly 1,000 kilometres. A fuel economy average of 5.8 L/100 km. This is the summary of my time with the 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid, a car that, for roughly $6,000 more than a base gas-powered Accord, will burn about 2.5 litres less per 100 kilometres of combined city …October 28, 2015

2016 Honda Civic: Honda's Four-Door Neuralizer4.0/5

Sometimes you pick yourself right up after a stumble. Sometimes it takes a little longer. When Honda whiffed with the redesign of its - let's face it - flagship Civic in 2012, it followed up with a quick re-do the following year in a bid to soothe the backlash from …October 24, 2015

2016 Honda Accord: Modern And Reassuring4.0/5

Updating the Accord always seems to pose a problem for Honda. Since it’s the segment bestseller and has been loved by consumers for nine solid generations, the Japanese automaker has to be very careful about what they do it. On the one hand, too few updates can push buyers to …October 22, 2015

First Drive: 2016 Honda Accord

When I drove the 2016 Nissan Maxima , I couldn't help but scoff at the notion that a front-wheel drive sedan could be considered a sports car. I was quickly convinced otherwise. Fast-forward a few short months, and I was sitting behind the wheel of the 2016 Honda Accord, a …October 9, 2015

2016 Honda Pilot: No Chip On Its Shoulder4.0/5

After several years on the market, the Honda Pilot was starting to lose its competitive edge. Very few technical or esthetic modifications were made to the hefty SUV in six years. Its boxy shape had become outdated and it had fallen way behind on the technological front. In fact, many …May 28, 2015

2016 Honda Pilot: A Complete Makeover

With a boxy shape and a dashboard peppered with all kinds of buttons and controls, the second-generation Honda Pilot wasn't exactly the most elegant car out there. And driving it was more like driving a pickup than a family SUV. That said, it still had some good qualities. Its fit …May 12, 2015

2016 Honda HR-V: When The Fit Becomes A Subcompact SUV3.5/5

The 2016 Honda HR-V is basically an oversized, higher Fit with a more powerful engine and all-wheel drive on certain versions to deal with the rigours of our climate. This is almost certain to be a winning recipe for Honda in Canada. Just like the Fit, the HR-V is built …April 30, 2015

2015 Honda CR-V: Finally a Bold Move4.0/5

Of all the mid-generation updates done to the Honda CR-V over the last two decades, the 2015 refresh is definitely the most pronounced. In addition to adding a new grille and a few other aesthetic tweaks, Honda has equipped its compact SUV with the direct-injected Earth Dreams engine (taken from …October 22, 2014

2015 Honda Fit: A Master Class in Packaging4.0/5

The new third-generation Honda Fit, also known as the Jazz in Asia and Europe, will hit the Canadian market in September 2014 as the 2015 model, nine months after its unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show in January. This marks the beginning of a new era for the Fit since …September 3, 2014

2014 Honda Civic Coupe: Little Details That Go a Long Way4.0/5

Honda is very proud of the Civic’s success on the Canadian market. Not only is this compact revered for its overall value, it’s Canada’s top-selling vehicle for the 16th consecutive year.
