Honest car reviews both big and small
Restyled NX puts emphasis on tech and sassy performance ... Small, sassy and techy, that’s Lexus restyled NX 350, a compact crossover aimed directly at the better-off retiree or suburban family with no more than two kids. I suppose I think of NX being aimed at newly retired Boomers because of its luxury... Continue Reading →
VW's Jetta a value-oriented icon that exudes the joy of car driving ... I feel a little sorry for younger drivers who have grown up riding in, and then driving, mostly trucks and SUVs. They simply won’t know how much fun it is to drive a car. Cars are lighter, more nimble, and generally handle... Continue Reading →
Turbo CX-5 a sporty compact crossover with a Soul (red) ... Mazda has a winner with its CX-5 compact crossover so it’s no surprise it hasn’t changed drastically in the three years since I’d tested it. Wisely Mazda added its turbocharged version of the already peppy 2.5-liter SkyActiv-G I4 engine along the way and now... Continue Reading →
Ford returns to the compact pickup market with a hybrid ... Finally, finally, finally the nation’s leading truck maker has returned to the compact pickup market as Ford introduces the Maverick pickup. Oldtimers will recall the original Ford Maverick as an inexpensive compact car that did not distinguish itself, but this Maverick is gonna be... Continue Reading →
Power, handling, looks, Stinger as swanky as European makes ... Swanky European luxury sports sedans often crest $50,000, but they deliver the looks and performance that command a premium. Most also have earned a reputation for quickness and precision handling over decades of development. So what happens when a newcomer sidles up behind the established... Continue Reading →
Wilderness trim moves Forester further off road ... I’m not sure it’s ever totally fair to test a vehicle in Wisconsin in January, but then we all DO have to drive here in winter and Subaru designs its cars for our climate with full-time AWD. So I guess I shouldn’t feel too sorry for the... Continue Reading →
Ford's hybrid F-150 SuperCrew is all the pickup a person can use ... Driving the new Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat was like déjà vu all over again. Doesn’t happen often, but I got to test drive the new hybrid version of Ford’s most popular (in fact North America’s most popular) vehicle for a second time... Continue Reading →
Hybrid power, interior comfort and awesome MPG = winner! Hard as it may be to believe, Toyota’s ground-breaking hybrid, the Prius, has been around for 25 years. It’s the top-seller and an excellent choice, still. A few years ago Toyota wisely improved the Prius styling to round it more and give it a hint of... Continue Reading →
Mid-level XRT a stylish and primo family mover ... Reviewing the top-tier models, the crème de la crème that each manufacturer rolls into their press fleets is the norm for automotive reviewers. There’s no sympathy for this I know, but somebody must suffer to inform the masses. That’s why this week’s mid-level Hyundai Santa Fe... Continue Reading →
Sienna still a fine people mover, now a hybrid with AWD ... Minivans come and minivans go, but do you feel you could love one? I think you could. Toyota has been making its Sienna minivan for nearly 25 years and let’s be honest, it still looks like a minivan. That’s the rub for all... Continue Reading →
