There is one word that describes this week’s test car. I shouldn’t even be writing more than this one word as it may distract you, the reader, from the images in this article and in the gallery that you are drooling over. Whoa there! Close your mouth; you’re drooling on your keyboard! Yes, this week I am behind the wheel of the new Audi A5, and this car is HOT HOT HOT!

Spring has finally arrived in the capital and with it a sporty coupe for me to test for a week. This week, I will be behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe GT-P. This is the top-of-the-line version of a vehicle that starts at a rather reasonable $25,998. My tester adds nearly $10,000 to that starting price as it comes standard with a ton of goodies.

Brrrrrrr — that’s what I have to say about driving a convertible in March. At least the convertible I am driving this week is the Volkswagen Eos, which has a folding hardtop; but let me tell you: a 30-plus km trip in sub-zero temperatures with the top down in March — not a good idea.

Picture Gallery: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe V6 | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Discuss

Day 1:
My week with the Honda Accord Coupe V6 could not come at a better time: it has been almost one year to the day since this 2008 model was revealed in Detroit and almost exactly two years since I reviewed the seventh-generation Accord Coupe V6. The eighth-generation Accord is, once again, larger than its predecessor and the coupe more sculpted than the sedan, with the traditional flowing lines that all coupes should wear. More…

Welcome back from the holidays, all. The holiday season has come and gone, and once again, it seems like the year just whisked by. This week I am testing the new 2008 Altima CoupĂ© 2.5s — I’ll apologize upfront for the photos of a dirty car with snow on it, it has been close to -30 Celsius the past few days here and believe it or not, the car was clean 20km before I took the photos.

This week I’ll be driving a vehicle that I have to say is probably the least masculine of anything I have ever driven — not that that is a bad thing. Not so new anymore, the New Beetle is now in its tenth year on the market — oh, how time flies.

The Mini Cooper S: the epitome of small car fun, with the gusto to match. The movie
the Italian Job made the Mini Cooper famous; its sports car-like handling, go kart-like feel and great looks have made it into a success. I’m sure my life is not nearly as interesting as Charlie Croker’s or Stella Bridger’s but I’ll try to put the Mini through its paces just the same.

Today was one the most hectic days I have had in a while. I was a little distracted when I picked up this week’s car — the Volvo C30; I got in and headed straight to my regular day job without even really taking a close look at the car. I had a few errands to run after work which kept me distracted as well.

Well, better late then never, as they say. This week I get to cruise around in the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT-P. Although the weather has turned a little on the nippy side here in Ottawa, I’m sure I’ll manage to enjoy some top down driving throughout the week. More…
