Pros: What do you like about 2006 Jeep Liberty?
Motor strong, loved the moving in the snow, held road well.

Anti skid -when you started to slip actually seemed to pull you deeper into a skid, did not care for.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Jeep Liberty?
Easy - start by putting good seat material to withstand the elements.
Very poor material, went to dealer in albany very poor rating on handling Jeep problems, called factory would not stand behind there own vehicle.
Window regulators a joke, had three fails. After 3 year warranty had expired once again good old dealer said they would fix $600.00 dollars new window and regulator. Rear window hatch, shocks failed, poor. Chrysler should
stand behind vehicle, have longer list ran out of room.

2006 Jeep Liberty Review:
Drives nice, gas mileage is bad, never buy a Chrysler again.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta Review, by David Mathieson

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Volkswagen Jetta?
The body is much more solid than the 99 Jetta where the rear door would vibrate when you closed the drivers door.
Mileage seems improved for highway driving.
Very secure and safe feeling when driving at 70-80 mph.
Low wind noise.
It tracks very nicely on wet road surfaces.
The 6 speed manual transmission is great and allows high speed driving at very low rpm.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Volkswagen Jetta?
The TDI mileage in town with little traffic driving barely makes about 650KM. My old 99 Jetta TDI would consistently get 700km.
Would be nice to have your speed and time prominently displayed on the multifunction readout.
The 2010 golf has a nice white and grey background multifunction readout.
I use the car for work to move boxes, microwaves etc around and found that the trunk opening is so small now that these items would not fit so I have to sell the car and get a wagon. I also miss having the back seats fold down flat like the 2010 golf wagon.
When pressed by traffic sometimes I had trouble finding the right gear.
I find it hard to check blind spots when changing lanes.
The space under the back window is so narrow that it has little use for storing things and it is hard to clean the window.
It would be nice it the satellite radio had a larger memory because the program cuts out when you go under bridges on the highway.
The rear lights cheapen the look of the car and make it look American. I would like to see the yellow turn lamps on the back.
Watch out when you are parking near a curve as the front valance seems very low. The hood slopes down so much that it is very hard to judge how close you are to the curb when you nose in.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta Review:
The car overall is excellent value provided this model suits your life style. Make sure you test drive it thoroughly to be sure it suits your needs.

2010 Toyota Sequoia Review, by Christopher Lenney

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Sequoia?
Plenty of power.

Red Rock leather interior is incredible.

Sound system is not bad for a factory system.

Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Sequoia?
UNLOCK THE NAVIGATION!!!!!! The factory NAV is the worst NAV I have ever seen. Toyota's Legal Dept has taken over. The NAV locks out once the vehicle is in motion. So if you're on a trip (like I was last week) your passenger can't even input an address, search for food or fuel. So basically you have to pull over (which is illegal in most major interstates, not to mention very dangerous).

Gas MPG is not what is reported by Toyota. You will be lucky to get 14 MPG on highway........

The factory remote starter is a joke. After years of owning aftermarket starters, Toyota had totally dropped the ball on this one. The range of the Key Fob is very very limited, you practically have to be sitting in the truck for it to work. It only runs for 10 min before shutting off and as soon as you unlock the vehicle or open a door the thing shuts off. Bottom line....save $550 and go aftermarket.

2010 Toyota Sequoia Review:
Toyota doesn't care about its customers. I paid almost $60,000 for a vehicle, and after several calls and letters, Toyota could care less. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA after the experience I had.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Subaru Impreza?
Everything. I was on the market for a Suzuki SX4, but the salesman convinced me to try the Impreza instead. When I reached 1 year using it I called the salesman back to thank him. I'm very happy with it.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Subaru Impreza?
Maybe better mileage, but I was warned, you can't compare AWD vs Front wheel drive. You have to give up something. As the matter of fact, I get 29 MPG combined, every day use.

2008 Subaru Impreza Review:
Not an eye catcher, but once you get you hands on it, you'll get to love it. 1 year, 20,000 miles and I only been to the shop for scheduled services.

2008 Chevrolet Impala Review:
I bought this auto used and have had it for 6 months and so far no problems. Good gas MPG - about 20MPG. Handles good on highway and in traffic.
I would recommend it to any family that needs a mid range sized car.
The breaking system is better than the Lumina I had before this one.
