From the West Carleton Review, another positive Canadian road test. I think we really like this car.
However, it opens with a bizarre paragraph explaining why the writer prefers to test cars from local dealers rather than from the corporate press fleet. Why?

- not a muscle car (acceleration)
- body roll
