Honest car reviews both big and small
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 →
New VW Atlas is a 3-row Easy Rider ... Some vehicles stand out by not standing out. They are what I call Easy Riders, or maybe more appropriately Easy Drivers. Such is Volkswagen’s restyled Atlas, the German firm’s mid-size crossover and one of its best-selling models in the U.S. market. VW restyled its nose and... Continue Reading →
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.

Compact 228i gives BMW a true entry-level model ... Back in the day, less than 20 years ago, BMW was known for its 3 Series compact sport sedans and coupes.
