Dan Heyman | Auto123.com: 2024 Toyota GR Corolla

Dan Heyman had this to say about the Toyota GR Corolla on Auto123.com: “The real question is this: How well does this performance Corolla stack up against the likes of the Honda Civic Type R, or even the Volkswagen Golf R. Having only driven the latter, I can tell you that the Corolla is more on-the-nose, its every response laying claim to being a performance model. It’s more of an assault on the senses, but it’s no smoke and mirrors. This is a proper performance car, and one of the more thrilling compacts we’ve seen in Canada in some time, …

Mike Schlee | AutoGuide.com: 2024 Subaru Impreza

Mike Schlee had this to say about the 2024 Subaru Impreza on AutoGuide.com: “Subaru played it safe with the redesign of the Impreza, but more importantly, played it right. The brand has addressed the largest complaints of the outgoing model by adding more power and better in-car technology, all while keeping everything we liked about the vehicle, and at an attractive price point. The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS is a solid choice for those who still appreciate the responsiveness, efficiency, and usefulness of a traditional compact hatchback.” 2024 Subaru Impreza RS Review: First Drive | AutoGuide.com

Jil McIntosh | AutoTrader.ca: 2023 Honda Accord

Jil McIntosh had this to say about the 2023 Honda Accord at AutoTrader.ca: “The 2023 Honda Accord hybrid is a very pleasant vehicle to drive. I find it preferable to the gas-only version by virtue of that switch from gas to battery, which is very smooth and generally seamless, and that when you need passing power, the combined 247 lb-ft of torque is more than the 192 lb-ft from the gas model. The steering is responsive, and light enough that it’s easy to get it around tight parking lots. It takes curves very well, and while some regenerative braking systems …

Evan Williams | Wheels.ca: 2024 Toyota Prius Prime

“Prius Prime sips fuel, has excellent ergonomics and build quality. It’s even good to look at. The biggest problem for anyone looking to buy one is probably going to be finding one. Toyota has spent the last two years unable to meet demand for its vehicles even as plants are running all-out to try and keep up. The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime is going to be the next hot ticket, and that could mean long lines. If you’re already a Toyota customer, though, you probably won’t mind the wait. Your current kitchen is working perfectly, you’re just ready for one …
