Road Test Review – 2025 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition
The Mazda CX-5 might feel like it’s being pushed out of the spotlight with the CX-50 and the bigger CX-90 filling the niches that it was once asked to fill by itself. However, the CX-5 is still a strong seller for Mazda and the CUV even has a strong following of customers who have stuck with the model despite broader changes in Mazda’s lineup. Mazda has decided to reward this loyalty […]
Review: The Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD Goes Big on Style, and Bigger on Mainstream Appeal
Those of us old enough to remember the ‘90s might remember Recycle Rex and his hit song: “Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, and Close the Loop.” It’s an earworm, to be sure, and it, alongside programs like Captain Planet, taught us it was cool to care about the environment. In the case of the song, though, it did so in the wrong way. Kind of. In later years—once recycling was no longer a novel concept—we’d […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus NX 350h Luxury AWD
The venerable Lexus NX has been through its fair share of ups and downs but ultimately, it always manages to come up with a good run of good fortune with the compact CUV meant to give Lexus a middle-rung player slotted between the smaller UX and the iconic RX. Some would say that the NX is starting to lose its edge and that it’s starting to get soft around the edges. But is that the case? […]
2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Premium Plus review by Ben Lewis
In the world of auto manufacturers, Mazda remains an independent voice. And you gotta love ‘em, they have stayed true to their vision of driving enjoyment – hey this is the Miata company! – and also have been moving the brand upscale at the same time. The only problem is, developing tech like EV, hybrid, and more is expensive and time consuming. And while EV’s seem to be on the back burner now, […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Meridian Edition
The Mazda CX-50 has rapidly emerged as a key player in Mazda’s SUV strategy. While the bigger CX-90 often steals the spotlight due to its bigger size and segment-blurring luxury, the smaller CX-50 stands out for its strong value game which allows it to be a near-perfect balance of luxury, value, and capability. Mazda is hoping the CX-50 Turbo Meridian Edition will be able to deliver some […]
Road Test Update – 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Premium – It’s Still Fun
The Toyota GR Corolla was the answer to a question that many asked, what would happen if you took an average Corolla hatchback and threw everything at it in an attempt to make it faster, sharper, and rowdier than any Corolla that came before it? The answer is the GR Corolla a spunky three-cylinder powered monster designed to slay track days and make the art of driving fun again. Toyota had a […]
2025 Volkswagen Taos SE review by Ben Lewis
We’ve always been fans of VW’s Taos, their smallest SUV/Crossover, and the de-facto replacement for the VW Golf that we always liked as well. Despite being their most affordable offering, for 2025 VW has given the Taos updated looks, enhanced technology and more power. Sounds like a great reason for a road test! Clean and Modern You’ll really notice the update on the front, which reminds us of VW […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD Rally
Toyota’s Tundra pickup is striving to be like the smaller Tacoma when it comes to offering more for its buyers. The Tundra has an impressive roster of trims at its disposal and like the Tacoma, the Tundra is attempting to appeal to many niches of the pickup market as it attempts to stay relevant against established rivals from Ram, Ford, and Chevrolet. For 2025, Toyota is bringing a number […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Sienna Platinum
Toyota’s Sienna minivan has always been a favorite among family buyers. While the van’s exterior styling continues to be controversial, there’s no denying that it still continues to offer an impressive amount of practicality to go along with its all-hybrid powertrain lineup. However, what if you’re looking to add more luxury to your family vehicle experience but […]
2024 VW Golf GTI 380 S review by Ben Lewis
There are few great driver’s cars for the hard-earned dollar than the VW GTI. But the carmaker has announced that 2024 will be the last year for the manual transmission model. OK, the DSG automatic is a great transmission, but still, there’s something special about driving a stick. So, when VW offered us one last dance with a three-pedal GTI, we jumped at the chance. Kicking “S” With a refreshed […]
2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium R-Line review by Ben Lewis
If you’re looking for an SUV, you’re spoiled for choice. Maybe too spoiled! From compact to full-size, 5-passenger to 8, gas, hybrid, EV, you name it, someone’s got it. VW’s smart, too –while many will want the larger 3-row Atlas SUV, some like the size and premium features, but only need room for 5. Voila! Enter the Atlas Cross Sport – a sportier, 2-row model that still offers the premium […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Palisade XRT – Holding The Fort
When Hyundai unveiled its XRT lineup of vehicles, the brand promised that the XRT badge would signal a more aggressive personality with some light pinches of trail-ready upgrades to make these vehicles better soft roaders. While the revamped Tucson, Ioniq 5, and Santa Cruz XRTs all reflect this practice in spades, the Palisade has always felt the odd man out. Does the 2025 XRT version still have […]
