2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum – Road Test

Published by

Nissan (and Infiniti) went through a period in the mid-2000’s where a huge chunk of their vehicles were… to say it nicely – ugly. Thankfully they’ve turned the corner and the entire line-up is fantastic looking, gorgeous even. The new for 2022 Pathfinder is not only a looker, but Nissan videos show that it’s also a capable towing and off-roading vehicle. To our eyes the Pathfinder has always been a great-looking SUV – even when the original one came out in 1986. It’s changed considerably since then – as have more peoples’ needs and viewpoint on SUV’s. We spend a week with the 5th generation of this iconic SUV – let’s see how it fairs in 2022…

The All-New Nissan Sentra Cup Racing Series Might Be Worth A Look

Published by

If you’ve looked at the “Motorsport” sections of Road Test you’ll see that we’ve been covering various racing series’ since 2000. Our beginnings were based on racing and being at the track – first as a photographer and then as a photo editor/photographer/writer for numerous websites. (Most of the links have gone as the sites have disappeared from the web, but I’m re-posting them here as time permits). When I say ‘we,’ I’m not alone on this adventure – my wife is also an avid race fan, photographer and car junkie. Oh, and she also works for a German race car driver in Media and Public Relations. So where am I going with this?

2020 Nissan Sentra SR (Premium) – Road Test

Published by

It’s been a while since I had a compact car to drive – other than our own, now departed Ford Focus. Ford may have abandoned the auto landscape in search of people who want trucks and CUV/SUV’s, but there is still a huge market for affordable, reliable cars that don’t cost as much as your mortgage every month. It took Ford 8 years to realize they made a mistake by cancelling the Ranger – maybe they’ve made another poor decision, only with cars this time. Regardless, we’re in the market for a new car and the Nissan Sentra is the type of car that fits into the price point we’re comfortable with. We’ve never even remotely considered the Sentra before now. Why? It’s just never been anywhere near our radar. Will this week’s test drive change our minds? Let’s find out…

2020 Nissan LEAF SL PLUS – Road Test

Published by

The Nissan LEAF has been around since the 2010 model year. It got a complete makeover from top to bottom last year and alongside the new looks, it also got bigger batteries and a much-improved range – making it far more useful than ever before. Although I’d never driven one, it was firmly on our list as possibly the next car in our driveway when our present lease was up. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one for a week, but now I have. One thing for sure is – it didn’t disappoint.
