During my week with it, I tried desperately to figure out how Toyota determined this was the right name for its SUV. Remember those awful Highlander movies? What was the line in those flicks again? “There can be only one!” Anyway, the … [Read more...]
I’ve always been a fan of the Toyota Tacoma. In the end, much of what I know and remembered about the ones I drove in the past remains true, and many of the compromises of driving a true truck remain solidly stuck in place. Maybe it turns out that … [Read more...]
I'm not going to lie and say I was excited to review the Toyota Avalon. After all, this is the car that emulated your father's (actually, probably your great-grandfather's) Buick for years, and was marketed to the nearly dead. But Toyota has … [Read more...]
The Corolla is Toyota's second-from-the-bottom car offering. The Yaris slots in below it, and you can get into a Corolla for a mere CDN $15,450. I have to get this off my chest. WHAT is it with Corolla drivers? It seems that not a single one … [Read more...]
I spent a week with Toyota's Venza. Once I started paying attention, I noticed just how many Venzas there are rolling around on our streets. I was surprised - they are everywhere! Let's have a closer look and see what all these buyers are going … [Read more...]
What's the best way to review a perennial best-seller? Do you try to form an opinion or just nod your head along with the masses? For me, this was an easy one. Even though every second person in North America seems to own a Camry, I've only sat in … [Read more...]

I wouldn't call it an exciting category of cars, but that doesn't make it any less important. This week I'm going to compare three sub-compacts that, for the most part, compete with each other and are often the way into vehicle ownership for … [Read more...]
NOTE: yes, faithful readers, it's another new format! I'm trying a couple of new things. This week I'm trying a Quick Take review. A faster, less rambling read. Let me know what you think, and don't fret - my rambling, 3000+ word reviews haven't gone … [Read more...]
Well, a truck is a truck, as it turns out. Not much has changed there, I'm afraid. If you're looking for the 4-door Tacoma, I reviewed the 2013 model here. I was looking forward to driving the 2012 Toyota Tacoma, because I've always been a fan of … [Read more...]
