We need stress reduction now more than ever. Studies show traffic is lighter due to pandemic shutdowns, but that doesn’t mean your mind isn’t still racing. Making changes to your car and the way you drive won’t fix what’s weighing you down, but it can help you reduce stress while driving. From vehicle aspects like tire size, soundproof panels, and

MURRIETA, CA – The Kawasaki Z400 is the latest entry in a long, long line of beginner-friendly motorcycles from Team Green. Don’t be fooled by the smallish engine, or the low price tag – this is a legit motorcycle, and offers real value for the Canadian rider who doesn’t need to hit hyperspeed on the superslab. Kawasaki officially introduced th

On the first Saturday of every May (this year it's on May 7th), groups of female motorcycle enthusiasts around the world will be going out to "Just Ride" as per the motto of International Female Ride Day. IFRD is a global day of awareness and celebration of women's motorsport. By asking women to participate in the day, it seeks to educate people on

“How many drinks have I had? How do I feel?” “Can I drive?” That may be the next question countless Canadians ask themselves this holiday season. We’ve all seen the headlines, yet, as much we want to believe it will never happen to us or to those we love – it does. Drunk driving is a choice that people still make with about one-third of

Update: Added towing and powertrain details. Video by Jeff Voth, photos and introduction by Jonathan Yarkony I’ll keep this one simple. The Chevrolet Colorado is a welcome addition to the truck market. For years, small trucks languished, the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon put out to pasture and the Ford Ranger no longer available in North A

I sincerely don’t know who would get bored driving an Aston Martin. The speed, the sound and the fury of every model in their line-up is downright intoxicating, and the brand lifts its middle finger to the efficiency of turbocharging and all-wheel drive. What gearhead could refuse a day on a racetrack, getting an opportunity to drive a Vantage

Review by Robert Rath All-new last year, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 packs a 99-hp/76 lb-ft, 1,037 V-twin in a 228 kg soft-road ready adventure bike. Available in ABS and non-ABS models, the V-Strom includes multi-stage traction control and a host of touring features including a DC power outlet and three-position adjustable windscreen. Ke

Audi has been the undisputed leader in endurance sports car racing in recent years, so it was an honour to join Audi Canada for the Lone Star Le Mans event last weekend at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas. As expected, the Audi team dominated the WEC race, but there were many other exciting sights throughout the weekend.

Sometimes, a vehicle will leave me speechless. Usually, it’s because it is just such an amazing piece of engineering, while other times, it is due to the fact the vehicle is utter, utter crap. However, periodically a vehicle leaves me dumbfounded because I have no freakin’ clue what to make of it. This, ladies and gentleman, is one of those times.

There’s no upside to encountering potholes. Brought on in droves as the freeze/thaw cycle weakens and breaks up road surfaces, they become enlarged as each passing vehicle pounds into them and furthers the destruction. In the fluctuating weather that often occurs at this time of year in much of Canada, they’re an unfortunate reality. Inevi

[Editors Note: This category has a set of players who were traditionally classed as “mid-size” and perhaps could have been better labelled “full-size” or “family car” in this instance] Although there’s a necessary degree of fluidity to it, “Large Car” in Canadian Car of the Year parlance also includes mid-size models and the odd boundary-nudg

The Tesla Model 3 is the number one selling electric car in Canada with over 34 percent market share in Q3. We’ve had ours since June 2018 and I often get asked by new buyers what accessories or extras to get. Here’s my list of ten essential things to get for your new Model 3. These make great Christmas gifts as well! 1. Charging ada

If you read my first article, Tesla Unofficial Road Trip Encounter: Model 3 comes to Canada , it ended with me not fitting comfortably in the Model 3. The caveat here was that it was at night, in the rain, with a line of people behind me waiting their turn. I was really bummed out but vowed to give it another go once the Model 3 came to our local

Photos by Steven Elliott, Software Engineer for autoTRADER.ca Vancouver, BC – I stood in line on March 31, 2016, at the local Vancouver Tesla store for the Tesla Model 3 – the first Tesla model meant to be a lower-cost electric vehicle – and I paid a $1,000 reservation fee to get in a different, virtual line to purchase the car when it became

BARCELONA, Spain – BMW’s new G310GS sure looks the part, but at just $6,450 and with only some 300 cubic centimetres to play with, can it possibly be worthy of the GS reputation? Once in the seat, the thing feels like a featherweight, yet never shows bicycle-like nervousness or steering vagueness. On the contrary, on the road, the G310GS feel
