2021 Mazda3 Turbo Premium AWD

Turbo adds kick to Mazda3,  AWD gives it traction ... It’s possible that the current new generation of drivers will never know how much fun it is to pilot a car. Sad! Crossovers and trucks are so big, so dominant in the marketplace that it’s almost unbelievable that some automakers are still making cars. Several... Continue Reading →

2021 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid

Hybrid Accord feels familiar, consistently good ... Honda’s Accord hybrid is consistent, consistently good, just like the internal combustion version. I suppose if you refined most products, constantly improved them, for 40+ years you’d end up with a diamond of sorts. Honda deserves a lot of credit though. This week I slipped behind the wheel...

2021 Lexus NX 300h F Sport Black Line

Luxury NX 300h modest in size, price ... Luxury comes at a price. That’s not new. On its face, the Lexus NX 300h F Sport Black Line, this week’s drive, is modest in size and price on the ever-expanding luxury scale. This edgy small crossover rides on but a 104.7-inch wheelbase, compact like the Acura... Continue Reading →

2021 Kia K5 EX

New Kia K5 a sedan with looks, performance, value ... I’m not sure what else a buyer could want from a stylish family sedan beyond what Kia’s K5 offers, unless they wanted to pay much more. I know, I know, mention value in a car review and the reader yawns and wants to click on... Continue Reading →

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Ltd.

Crosstrek merges hatchback styling, crossover utility ... Mix a love of hatchbacks with a need for AWD and you have the recipe Subaru has nearly perfected in its 2021 Crosstrek. I’ve loved hatches for years and really, if you think on it, isn’t that what all crossovers are? But crossovers aren’t very slick looking as... Continue Reading →

2020 Ford Edge ST AWD

Edge ST's twin-turbo adds a major power bump ... Since crossovers are king at the moment it’s understandable that Ford, or any vehicle maker, would want to grab every niche within that market, hence the Ford Edge ST. While the ST would welcome family buyers, as do the other Edge models, this one takes aim... Continue Reading →

2020 Subaru WRX STI

WRX STI is fast, furious and noisy as ... You know that sound of running a vacuum and it sucking up a load of dirt, gravel and maybe some road salt in winter. Now imagine that sound rattling around in each wheel well of your car. That’s the first impression of Subaru’s new WRX STI,... Continue Reading →

2020 MINI Cooper SE Iconic Hardtop 2-door

Electric MINI packs power, cuteness into a, well, mini package ... Have you ever driven an electric Go-Kart, maybe at an amusement park, in the Dells, or even an indoor karting track? That’s what it’s like to drive the new electric MINI Cooper SE. Power is instantaneous and the car is a bullet off the... Continue Reading →

2020 Volkswagen Passat SEL

Crisply styled Passat a high-value sedan ... When was the last time you heard of a car costing less than it did three years ago? I’m betting never, unless it was a 3-year-old used car. Well, Volkswagen is making a big push again in the U.S. You’ve likely seen its ads for the new Atlas... Continue Reading →

2020 Lexus RX 350 AWD F Sport

Lexus RX 350  defines the luxury crossover market ...
