2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid review by Ben Lewis
If you think about Hybrids, you probably think Toyota, right? I mean they pretty much started the game with the Prius, and have expanded the thrifty powertrain along most of their lineup. Heck, even the new Land Cruiser, Tacoma and Sequoia are rolling some brand of hybrid powertrain. While it’s nice to see those big beasts getting a little more efficient, it seems like the big thrills come from […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Toyota Prius Prime – An Enduring Icon
The Toyota Prius has been an enduring icon of the company’s hybrid technology with the vehicle being a spearhead model in showing that hybrid technology can be an integral part of the driving and ownership experience. The Prime model is the plug-in version and the recent updates that the standard Prius received have helped the Prime transform into a potent value for buyers if they know […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid
The Mazda CX-50 has proven to be a very compelling SUV entry for Mazda with the 50 catering to customers who want capability and Mazda style, but don’t need the large size that often comes with a larger CX-70 or 90. However, the lone omission in the CX-50’s flexible arsenal of tricks was a hybrid model to help it tune in with a resurgence in demand for both hybrids and their plug-in […]
2024 Buick Envista ST Review: Not Quite Luxury, But That’s Okay.
Buick has long been one of those brands that confuses me. It’s a brand without an identity, with a product strategy best defined as “throw something at the wall and see what sticks.” And sure, Buick has some absolute bangers in its portfolio—especially the GSX, GNX and my personal favorite, the Regal TourX—but these are notable because they simply focused on being awesome rather than conform to […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Volkswagen Jetta SEL
Volkswagen’s Jetta compact sedan has always been a consistent sales generator for the German car giant. This is even as SUVs and CUVs expanded their presence in the market which also put the squeeze on compact cars in the process. The company recently gave the Jetta its most comprehensive update yet for 2025 with VW sharpening the car’s good traits while also addressing some flaws as […]
Road Test Followup – 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV – Is It Still Stuck In The Middle?
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 is fighting in a segment where SUV buyers expect perfection and a distinct touch when it comes to their two-row SUV purchase. The CX-70 shares alot of its bones with the bigger Mazda CX-90 and while this helps provide the model with a solid platform to build off of, some have also accused it of being stuck in the middle not only in regards to its source material, but also in […]
Road Test Follow Up – 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 – Is This EV Still The Golden Ticket For Buye…
Volkswagen’s EV blitz was supposed to be a blitz that would help make the German car giant a leader in the EV wars. However, the company has stumbled off the starting blocks and it’s still navigating rough waters as issues in its home market have the potential of distracting it from its broader goals. However, there are also signs that the pages are turning too with the Volkswagen […]
Review: The 2024 Ford Mach-E GT Rally Is A Do-It-All EV Built To Hoon
As much as I love the comforts of living in a beach-side urban metropolis, there are times when I find it frustrating. Sure, there’s the high cost of everything and the endless traffic in every direction, but I’m not particularly bothered by those. My frustration comes when I get a car like this: the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Rally. This is a ride inspired by rally racing and comes equipped […]

2024 Kia Forte GT review by Ben Lewis
We see a lot of bands and performers doing farewell tours. Last chance to enjoy the experience and say a fond goodbye. Well cars can do that, too. And our latest tester is a fine example. Kia recently introduced the all-new K4, to slot below the K5, naturally and the 4 will replace the Forte sedan. That’s kind of bittersweet for us – the new 4 is stylish, a bit larger and roomier and looks more […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Lexus UX300h – Is This Hybrid Being Squeezed Out?
Lexus’s growing hybrid lineup is shining a spotlight on Toyota’s broader green vehicle strategy with the company wisely focusing on expanding their presence in the hybrid sector alongside EVs. While the bigger RX and NX models have often been considered the collective faces of Lexus’s efforts in the CUV side of the business when it comes to hybrids, it can be easy to forget all […]
2024 Lexus NX 450h+ F SPORT review by Ben Lewis
We recently tested the Toyota RAV4, and we came away impressed, this is the best-selling compact SUV in the market, and it’s probably the most competitive segment out there. Aside from that, Toyota knows how to spread the love around – the Lexus NX shares much of the mechanicals, and the goodness with its sibling, and it’s a great choice in a compact luxury SUV. So, we jumped at the chance to […]
