2011 Chevrolet Volt Review – Boise
General Motors has been working for nearly four years to bring the Volt electric sedan to market, and, based on what we’ve experienced, the final result is a shockingly good, technologically brilliant electrically powered sedan. The Volt seats four. The Chevrolet Volt uses a enormous 420-pound, T-shaped lithium-ion battery, mounted right in the center of [...]
2011 Chevrolet Traverse Review – Boise
The Chevrolet Traverse is a large crossover SUV that seats seven or eight. Built more like a car than a truck, the Traverse is surprisingly nimble, with handling more like that of a family sedan than a big SUV. We found the steering direct and responsive, if light, and the brakes easy to modulate for [...]
2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Review – Boise
The Chevrolet Tahoe offers good towing capabilities and can haul up to nine passengers or two passengers and a mountain of cargo or anything in between. Inside, the first two rows offer legroom and head room comparable to most sedans but more shoulder and hip room because of Tahoe’s six-and-a-half foot width. Fold the second [...]
2011 Chevrolet Suburban Review – Boise
The Chevrolet Suburban can tow a sizable trailer. It can safely transport up to nine passengers. And, equipped with genuine four-wheel drive, it can haul a load of cargo over primitive roads. It’s an adept workhorse and arguably the best SUV you can get for towing trailers. For 2011, Suburban is available with a new [...]
2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD Review – Boise

You may recognize much of the interior and some of the body work but for pickups the latter is only important for keeping mud off your trailer. In the realm of HD pickups what matters is underneath [...]

The Chevy Silverado is designed to offer a smooth ride and confident handling while delivering superior capability and power. Silverado was last redesigned for 2007. As with all full-size pickups, the Silverado is available in a wide range of sizes, engines, and capabilities, so it’s of primary importance to analyze your needs and then select [...]
2011 Chevrolet Malibu Review – Boise
The Chevrolet Malibu midsize sedan blends a smooth ride with responsive handling, a quiet interior, effective crash performance and noteworthy build quality. We think the Malibu stands up well against the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, the benchmarks for midsize sedans. Malibu offers a choice of four-cylinder and V6 engines. A new fuel-saving 6-speed automatic [...]
2011 Chevrolet Impala Review – Boise
The Chevrolet Impala is a big family sedan close in size to the Toyota Avalon. The Impala is a comfortable and convenient car, practical and enjoyable to drive, with decent performance and fuel economy and competitive pricing. The Impala competes with full-size cars, such as the Ford Taurus, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, and mid-size [...]
2011 Chevrolet Equinox Review – Boise
The Chevrolet Equinox was redesigned for 2010, and the second-generation model has been a resounding success. GM says that more than half of Equinox buyers have switched from non-GM brands, and that to keep up with demand, the company is retooling part of the plant to increase production capacity. The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox comes with [...]
