Evan Writes Cars
I love cars, I love to read, and I love writing. So now I drive cars and then I write about them. Sometimes it’s on the road, but it could be on the track, in the dirt, or chasing cones in a parking lot. Reviews, insights, experiences and stories. I’m always up on the latest in automotive news and innovations, and I could tell you what car to buy, but let’s face it, you’ve already decided.

A Little Bit About Me
I grew up in New Brunswick but came to Halifax about almost 20 years ago. I got my license the first day I could, and I learned to drive in a blizzard. I’m a mechanical engineering technologist by education but am pursuing my dream to be an automotive journalist. I know cars, I know technology, I know how the two work together. I like to create, fix and do things with my hands, and I am always trying to figure out how things work. I spend my days reading, writing, driving, working on my cars, racing my cars, and competing in time speed distance rallies with my navigator-for-life.
I’ve written for autoTRADER.ca, autoguide.com, exhausted.ca, hybridcars.com, wheelwell.com, and more, and I’d love to work with you.

Find of the Week: 2004 Volkswagen Passat W8
So you’re shopping for a late model used car and you’re an enthusiast. That means your buying priorities list goes something like 1) manual transmission 2) eight cylinders. But you’ve got a family, or you haul cargo or people or a dog around and you need more space than a Mustang or a Camaro can provide. So you are looking for an eight-cylinder manual gearbox midsize sedan, and you don’t want front wheel drive. That’s a tough list. There hasn’t been much in that segment since the 1980s. But there is one.

Driven: 2017 Cadillac CT6
Since Cadillac was founded in 1902, the automaker has been mentioned in song more than any other brand. It's a trend that has spanned generations and Cadillac is still near the top for mentions today. But after a series of misses over the last few decades, how much of...
Driven: 2017 Toyota Corolla XSE
Lately, Toyota has been making an effort to move their lineup higher on the excitement spectrum. Moving from boring but functional to exciting, but still functional. First, they brought the youth-oriented Scion family back under the umbrella, and now they are trying...
Driven: 2017 Honda CR-V
It’s how you keep your position as one of the bestselling small SUVs in Canada for 20 years. You listen to customers and you design things well. Not just the vocal complaints like the radio knob, but the important items. The shift knob, the seat height, the door...
