2023 VW Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition: Review
/
/
comments
The R-badged version of the Volkswagen Golf is turning 20 years old this year, which means they launched the Mk4 R32 way back in 2003! It was always a bit of an odd duck in the VW lineup sitting above the GTI and featuring a bigger engine and AWD. For the 2012 model year the…

2023 Kia EV6 GT Quick Review
/
/
comments
EVs have been experiencing what the kids call a “glow up,” and public perception of electric cars has changed drastically even since I sampled the 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD last year. This comes thanks in part to the extreme performance of vehicles like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Model 3 Performance, Lucid Air,…

2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Review: Complete and utter madness
/
/
comments
The 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is one of the most irresponsible vehicles on sale today, and that’s meant as a compliment. Nobody needs to transport themselves and five passengers at the rate this thing can, and the consequence of a wildly shouty 6.2-liter supercharged V8 making 710 horsepower in a vehicle that weighs 5,575…

Ford Bronco Everglades – Small Engine, Big Capability!
/
/
comments
The Ford Bronco Everglades may be “stuck” with the smallest engine in the family, but it’s packed with the right upgrades to go anywhere. From the snorkel and increased wading depth to the 35″ tires and available winch, the Bronco Everglades is ready for battle. [Disclaimer: Ford tossed us the keys to the Bronco Everglades…

2023 Honda Accord Touring – Still Daily Driver Perfection
/
/
comments
There’s something comforting about an old favorite that’s familiar to us. It could be going to a local restaurant that hasn’t changed its menu in thirty years. It might be heading out on the same family vacation to the same spot you’ve gone to for twenty years. Good and simple things that make us happy…

Volvo V60 T8 is a longroof sleeper dream machine
/
/
comments
The Volvo V60 T8 Polestar Engineered is one of my favorite cars that you can buy. It’s a gorgeous wagon. It has 455 hp. And it can cruise silently when you want to thanks to the strong PHEV powertrain. This thing rules, and I want one… [Disclaimer: Volvo tossed me the keys to the V60…

2023 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD: Review
/
/
comments
Like humans, vehicles also tend to “grow up” over their lifespan, getting larger and heavier, but usually also more rich with features. The Honda HR-V is a great example, when it arrived on our shores in 2016 it was based on the diminutive subcompact Honda Fit. Now, after eight Fit-based model years, it’s back. However,…

2024 Chevrolet Trax: An actually affordable automobile
/
/
comments
The average transaction price on a new vehicle is, quite frankly, an insane number. It’s over $48,000 at the moment. In fact, it’s been over $40,000 for more than three years now. Cars are only getting more expensive. So when an affordable new car pops up, it almost feels like an automaker is playing a…

2023 MINI Cooper S Clubman All4 – Quick Review
/
/
comments
“MINIs aren’t so mini anymore” goes the trope we’ve all heard time and time again. As much as we don’t want it to be right, the trope isn’t totally wrong. MINI’s 2023 Clubman isn’t a huge car by any means at only 168.3 inches long, yet considering that the 2000’s reincarnated R53 Cooper was only…

comments
Subaru has always crafted cars well-suited to the multi-layered lifestyles and climates of places like the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and New England. These cars excel there because of the standard AWD setup, the confident driving dynamics, and the affordable price tags relative to the competition. The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS continues on in this vein…
