It’s an a small, zero emissions 74-horsepower even more refined hatchback and I loved (Smart Car) electric vehicle against a its new base turbocharged 1.8-litre 707-horsepower, tire-smoking (Dodge engine.

‘‘

’’

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bob’s Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and they’re close in terms of performance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice. It seats five (instead of two), has more cargo space and rides nicer, making it a more practical everyday car. Price (base/as tested): $34,995/$34,995 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 10.5 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 43.4 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 2.0/2.6 Le/100 km Small Car - Over $21,000: Mini Cooper, Kia Forte5 & Volkswagen Golf. Bob’s Pick: The winner of this category should be a strong contender for the overall car of the year title. Lower, longer and

Luxury Car - Over $50,000: Acura RLX Hybrid, Cadillac ATS Coupe, Hyundai Genesis & Kia K900. Bob’s Pick: My clear winner here is the Acura RLX Hybrid, a large all-wheel drive luxury sedan that’s fun to drive, yet very easy on fuel. It uses a 3-motor hybrid powertrain with a front electric motor & twin rear motors. The drivetrain also includes a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Price (base/as tested): $49,990/$69,990 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.0 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 44.3 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 8.0/7.5 L/100 km Sports Performance - Over $50,000: Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang GT & Volvo

V60 Polestar. Bob’s Pick: Priced well below the other two entries in this category, the new Ford Mustang GT provides excellent bang for the buck and looks awesome. Price (base/as tested): $42,499/$51,899 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.2 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 39.5 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 15.2/9.3 L/100 km SUV/CUV - $35,000 to $60,000: Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln MKC, Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 & Toyota Highlander. Bob’s Pick: Big can be beautiful, as Chevrolet Tahoe has evolved into a more drive-able vehicle that offers a supremely comfortable ride, can pull a (3863 kg) mountain and the new EcoTec 5.3 litre V8 engine provides decent fuel economy, especially on the highway. Price (base/as tested): $57,245/$59,460 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 8.0 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 42.1 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 14.9/10.1 L/100 km SUV/CUV - Over $60,000: GMC Yukon XL, Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG & Porsche Macan. Bob’s Pick: A performance utility vehicle that actually can go off-road, the Porsche Macan came with an optional (height adjustable & self levelling) air suspension. On a paved road…it’s a Porsche! Price (base/as tested): $54,300/$64,030 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 5.2 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 38.1 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 13.7/10.3 L/100 km

Staying safe means stowing your cell by Lauren Kramer

responding to texts and answering calls whenever they come in – and no matter what is going on around us. It’s easy to rationalize. “This will just take a second,” we think, exaggerating the amount of time it takes to, say, respond to a text message. According to the Canadian Automobile Association the average distraction time for this task is 22.6 seconds, the distance of 373 metres of travel at 40 km/h and the equivalent of four intersections or 68 parked cars. But it’s not just the texting time that’s so perilous, it’s the time it will take you to regain your focus on the road, to bring your car to a standstill if you have to. Perception, reaction and braking time after a distraction like this – even something as minor as hitting two letters to type “OK”—is 25 metres, the equivalent of a lineup of 17 people. That’s a long time when you’re

My kids have my permission to yell at their dad whenever they spot him using his cell phone while driving. Which, unfortunately, is often. I’ve coached them on what to say: “You’re putting my safety at risk,” “You’re breaking the law,” and “Dad, put your phone away this minute!” I’m not alone when I say my biggest fear is that someone I love will be in a horrific, life-changing, potentially fatal car accident. And every time a driver picks up their phone while operating a car, that accident becomes increasingly likely. Sneaking peeks at our cell phones while we’re driving has become an irresistible temptation as more and more of us become addicted to checking email,

controlling a powerful, hunk of metal like a car. The truth is that cell phones have become every much as dangerous an addiction when driving as inebriation – even more so because they lack the stigma associated with drunk driving. Yet the probability of being in a crash while you are distracted is horrifying. Texting, even just a word? You are 23 times more likely to crash. Talking on your cell phone – four-to-five times more likely. And reading that ‘urgent’ email that simply couldn’t wait makes you three times more likely to be in a potentially fatal accident, according to research by CAA. Findings by ICBC show that distracted driving is the second leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in BC. That’s why on Oct. 20, new penalties for distracted drivers were implemented in this province. If you are caught with your cell phone in hand or programming

your GPS while driving, you’ll get a $167 fine and a deduction of three penalty points. It’s a rap on the knuckles but also a reminder to fight our addiction to electronic devices while we’re driving. Overcoming that cell phone addiction on the road is as easy as turning off your phone and putting it in the glove box or trunk of your car, where you absolutely cannot reach it while you are driving. Yes, I know, you are expecting an important call so you don’t want your phone off. In that case, Bluetooth or wired headsets (worn only in one ear unless you are on a motorbike) are the next best thing. But the key is to make sure your phone is out of reach, because when it is within stretching distance, it’s a pinging candy bar most of us can’t refuse. laurenkramer@shaw.ca

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much

of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others. Looks In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slab-sided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie

The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe: towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. looks rough and ready. Inside One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refinement and ride quality and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind

dif

noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin. There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to use and access rotary dials and switches. There are USB plugs along with regular power outlets just under the radio and more USB plugs inside the glove box and yet another behind the radio screen that slides up and away to reveal a hidden compartment. The back seats have an available flip and fold feature that automatically lowers or raises the second and third row of seats. What is surprising is the lack of cargo space behind the third row when it is in use—the bigger Suburban might be the way to go for really large families. Drive The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a $2000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing most pleasure boats and family campers with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of

the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. These tricks help improve city fuel economy by 7% and highway consumption by 10%. Verdict The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.
