I tried it by typing in my car's basic details.  It worked, very good!

2018 TOYOTA SIENNA PASSENGER VAN:

The popularity of passenger vans peaked about 15 years ago and have gradually eroded by SUVs.  However, Toyota's Sienna and Honda's Odessy (check spelling) remain leaders of the pack.

If you have a big family, or intend to do sightseeing by self-driving, passenger van is the choice, and the Senna is always among the op picks!

Don't let the vehicle size discourage you, it is far easier to drive than you think.  I know because I owned a few a few years back.

AVOID Chrysler van, that is just a piece of shit!

While all other car manufacturers are advertising their 2018 models, Honda has not.  Don't know why.

The 2018 CRV is longer than 2017's and I think has a bigger engine too.  It is a good choice in the compact SUV category, won't go wrong with it but check out the VW Tiguan which is very good too!

2018 VW GOLF ALL TRACK:

This is a stationwagon built on the popular Golf platform with 1.8L turbo engine and 10" more in height.
There is only one "trim".  The only choice is between 6-S Manual or an automatic transmission.

The extra height may not appeal to most car owner unless you intend to drive off road.  Higher road clearance means there is noticeable more roll when you drive at higher speed around corners or bends.

The better option could well be Golf Sportswagen which offers 3 trim levels with same engine and manual/auto choice.

The R has been around for  5 - 6 years now; and over the years, there have been slight innovations, addition of gadgets, nevertheless, it still remains to be a fun-to-drive hatchback, for work and pleasure, and most important, will not cost you an arm and a leg!

50 CAR WHICH WILL PLUMMET IN VALUE IN 2018, IS YOURS ON THIS LIST?


http://buzzdrives.com/20-cars-th ... aulthomepage-Canada


Simply put, most of Big Three's cars made the list, which we should not be surprised since the B-3 build shitty cars!

One car which I don't mind owning is the Mercedez Benz Maybach which was sold for close to $500K is worth only 1/10 of its original value.  This will be a nice car to impress your girls!  

It lost its value so quickly not because of quality, it is simply a case of depreciation showing off its "power"!

The most popular and most stolen car in Canada is the Honda Civic.  Its bigger brother is the Accord.

This video is a review of the Accord with the "top trim", i.e. top model with all the add-ons.
