Honest car reviews both big and small
Fiat 500 Abarth pumps up the low-cost fun ... Few cars are pure joy to drive, yet cost less than $30,000. I’d put the Mazda Miata at the top of those, and a few models of the Mini Cooper would slot into this price range. But Fiat’s 500 Abarth is a relative newcomer and blows... Continue Reading →
Chevrolet's first El Camino blends car, truck ... Today the blending of cars and trucks seems natural as SUVs and crossovers have become the preferred mode of personal transportation in the United States. But in the late 1950s and early 1960s such a thought was downright odd. Ford stirred the beast first when it created the Ranchero and... Continue Reading →
New VW Golf Alltrack brings fun to wagons ... Volkswagen brings a little fun to the small wagon market, which is a niche of a niche these days, but certainly compares well with small crossovers. But instead of a tall boxy AWD vehicle, the Golf Alltrack is a decidedly leaner machine that looks downright sporty compared... Continue Reading →
Aston Martin Vanquish = automotive art ... Some cars are rolling art right from the get go. Such is Aston Martin’s Vanquish, which was introduced in 2013 to coincide with the British luxury car maker’s 100th anniversary. As with all Astons, the goal was to combine beauty and performance on four wheels. Likewise Autoart has... Continue Reading →
Subaru's WRX makes you faster, more interesting ... Mention the Subaru WRX in front of young adult males and you’re likely to become the most interesting man, or woman, in the world. Subaru devotees are a, well, devoted lot and WRX fans are darn near rabid. Face it, some folks, especially young males, love speed... Continue Reading →
Highlander Hybrid excels at moving people, things ... A road trip to Louisville with a couple buddies, and plenty of cargo, proved Toyota’s Highlander Hybrid to be a perfect transport choice. Ours was a medium metallic brown, what Toyota calls Toasted Walnut Pearl. Probably should have been pecan since we were headed to the South. But,... Continue Reading →
Hyundai Elantra, perceptions change a bit ... Perceptions can shift and auto writers often perceive differences in similar models they drive. This happened on a couple fronts with my latest drive of Hyundai’s attractive Elantra Limited, its near top-level compact. I still like the car, its looks, its features, its gas mileage, its value. But compared... Continue Reading →
Volvo S60 OK, but doesn't distinguish itself ... Volvo’s S60 is a fine, but underwhelming, compact, entry-level luxury car. The S60 is nice looking and has all-wheel-drive, which will make it more useful to drivers in northern climes. It performs well, although its ride is rough, yet nothing really stands out. Some will argue that its safety... Continue Reading →
Automodello retools its Bricklin SV1, adds cop car markings ... Bricklins were unique in their day, the mid-1970s, but even more unusual were three white over blue Bricklins with sirens, a bubble gum strobe and other police gear. They were part of the Scottsdale, Ariz., police. Malcolm Bricklin basically gave the Scottsdale police the three... Continue Reading →
Ford's Focus RS is a scorching hot rod ... Simply put, Ford’s Focus RS is a street-legal race car. Not many of those out there, and most that are require you to sell your house in order to make a down payment on said speedster. So here, for “just” $36,995, Ford will put a scorching...
