2019 Aston Martin Vantage
“Everyone I took for a spin in the Vantage has ridden with me in the Nissan GT-R, and they all say that it feels just as rapid. The gears are much longer, so there’s a lot more foreplay with a bed of torque before it rips their organs into pieces.”
Many will tell you that the reason Porsche makes the best sports cars in the world is because you can use it every day. I disagree, but not because what they’re saying is wrong. I believe that they do because it connects with the driver in a way that is completely alien to anyone who hasn’t driven one.
2018 BMW 530d Luxury
“In the real world where all things are considered, the best car on sale today is the G30 BMW 5 Series. If you’re looking for the most value for money, that would be the 520d M Sport, and if you’re looking at the most performance for your money, that would be this one — the ultra exclusive but all-inclusive 530d Luxury.”
2018 Aston Martin DB11 V8
“Aston Martin has always defined the GT car, and the DB11 as it stands today, is peerless. I would love to drive it all the way to Subic for a weekend only to realize that I had left my overnight bag at home — so I can drive back down again.”
2018 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Premium
“The air suspension is still as smooth as a Zegna silk tie, while the legendary Quattro® all-wheel-drive system is the large male member that puts Versace on the floor.”

2018 BMW 520d M Sport
"The new BMW 5 Series, especially in M Sport bling, feels like you’ve gone for an evening swim alone in Balesin and then a tipsy Jessica Alba appears out of nowhere and skinny dips with you. It's a jackpot and a half — the return of Sheer Driving Pleasure."
2018 Lexus LS 500 / LS500h
“The most enthralling experience of all is that of being completely detached from the outside world. It’s the kind of car that forces you to drive a touch more calmly. I am certain that my heart rate was lower than those beside me in traffic.”
2018 Peugeot 3008 2.0 BlueHDi GT Line
“The 3008 feels as if every single part that was put into it was made with the knowledge that it had to co-exist with other parts, and therefore all of them work in perfect harmony with each other — like a swinger party.”
2018 Audi A4 2.0 TDI
“Apparently, a tire blowout is listed as one of the biggest fears of highway drivers. They say that the lower your speed, the higher the chances of survival. A blowout at 60 km/h will be far less catastrophic than one at 150 km/h. More importantly, walking away from it at those speeds is considered a gift from God - one that I so gladly received.”
2017 Lexus GS F
“If you were given thirty seconds to plot an escape destination in the nav system in exchange for your freedom - you wouldn’t make it. You wouldn’t even if they gave you two hours to do it. However, if you put your foot down, it won’t take ten seconds for your captors to beg for freedom.”
2014 Audi RS4 Avant B8
"Those flared wheel arches are a teenage boy’s boxers after Heidi Klum passes by and the barrel-chested V8 wail is what makes her panties drop."
2015 Land Rover Defender 90 Heritage Edition
"It is said that for a third of the world's population, the Land Rover Defender is the first car they ever saw. Even more impressive is the fact that it barely changed over the course of almost 70 years in production."
1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S
"The 993 is just oozing with presence, making it very difficult not to stare at times. It's like a cougar in a tiny white dress, with hips that are dying to get out. I now understand why Porsche never drastically changed the 911."

Fight your demons and gut them. Get Lost, eat exotically, paint recklessly, hug your siblings, laugh with your nephews, and drive spiritedly. Live a little longer and write that story.

I have had the privilege of driving so many different cars over the past year, so much so that I am frequently asked which one is best. I can't really answer which is best, because they're all different - but I can tell you which one is the most complete.
