I recently had the opportunity to drive a Jetta GLi from Toronto to Halifax. There is nothing like a 12-hour, 1,800-km stint in a vehicle to make you well-aware of any shortcomings.
At the age of five I was already obsessed with all things automotive being able to identify the make and model of car by just the sound of its engine going down the street in front of our house in the small town on the south shore of Nova Scotia. Although I have been covering and writing about the automotive scene for more than 40 years and the light still grows brightly.
