Honest car reviews both big and small
New Santa Fe a luxury sleigh ride ... Leading up to Christmas I spent a week luxuriating in Santa’s sleigh. Say what? It was Hyundai’s Santa Fe? Well then, never mind! Yet then again Hyundai’s mid-size SUV is certainly big enough to haul a lot of goodies to good girls and boys all over southeast... Continue Reading →
Jeep Trackhawk boasts 707 hp, too ... There is now a 707 horsepower Jeep. You read that right, and the first question most folks ask is, Why would Jeep do this? The answer: Because they can. There’s no reasonable or logical reason, except that Fiat/Chrysler, which is the overindulgent parent of Jeep and Dodge, has... Continue Reading →
BMW X3 has the street cred, but what about style? ... This week’s drive begs the question of style and performance vs. reputation and performance. How so? The tested BMW X3 compact SUV is a direct competitor of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio I tested a week prior. Darn near the same dimensions, the Alfa is... Continue Reading →
Beautiful Stelvio puts in the crossover fast lane ... Even if Italian beauty were only skin deep, maybe that would be enough when it comes to cars and crossovers.

Outlier Durango delivers function and style ... Dodge’s Durango is an outlier of sorts.

Durango though likes to spiff itself up, like it’s saying... Continue Reading →
Toyota's Tacoma TRD a big mid-size pickup for off-roading ... There was a day, not all that long ago, when Toyota’s Tacoma, along with the likes of Ford’s Ranger and Chevy’s S-10, was a small, personal-sized pickup. These were young guy “first cars” because they were inexpensive wheels, macho enough to get the... Continue Reading →
Hyundai's Santa Fe Sport still a leader ... Hyundai continues to pace the small to mid-size crossover segment with its Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport. A few years back Hyundai split its Santa Fe crossover lineup with the larger being the Santa Fe and the smaller, sportier model being the Santa Fe Sport. The... Continue Reading →
