Jul 9th, 2014 |
|
Volkswagen’s Passat comes from humble beginnings. Indeed, for much of its life it was merely one of several choices in the mid-size sedan segment. It wasn’t particularly upscale and possessed just average build quality. This changed in the mid-1990s with the B5 generation, which was engineered under Ferdinand Piëch and designed with major influence from […]

| 2014 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van First Drive: Cargo Room with Personality |
Jul 9th, 2014 |
|
The Ford Transit Connect doesn’t really need to drive well—after all, most people who operate them are paid to do so. The diminutive Euro-packaged cargo van only needs to move forward, backward, and turn left and right to be considered competent for daily use.

If there is one thing we enjoy more at C/D than driving, it would be arguing. Over everything. From the “right” number of digits after a decimal point, to the correct spelling of “donut,” to where we should go for doughnuts.
