2017 Camaro 1LE V6 Review

We really liked the 2016 Camaro RS we drove last year, true it wasn’t the SS, but even with auto box it was livelier and almost as fast as the Camaro SS 1LE we drove in 2015. If I remember correctly that car had a pretty tricky manual gearbox and a few

2017 VW Passat R- Line

The 2017 VW Passat R-Line is a pretty good looking car coming standard with 19-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats and side mirrors, leather-wrapped steering wheel, eight-way power driver seat, leatherette upholstery and a 6.3-inch touch screen.

2017 Golf GTI SE – Review

It’s Still Great We last tested the Golf GTI back in 2015, with Performance Pack and loved it, especially the trick front diff that virtually eliminates under steer. Now it’s the turn of the 2017 Golf GTI without Performance Pack to be put through it’s paces. For 2017 the range
