2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door review by Ben Lewis
We recently tested the all-new 2025 Mini Countryman and really liked the fresh style, updated interior and great performance. But it did make us beg the question, does something that big really qualify as “Mini”? So, we were really excited to test the all-new 2025 MINI Cooper S 4-door. Much closer to the original MINI ethos, it brings loads of cheeky goodness that we love with the brand and […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross XSE Hybrid – The CUV For Any Budget?
The Toyota Corolla Cross was supposed to help the Corolla nameplate enter uncharted territory with the CUV attempting to lure in budget-minded utility buyers while also giving the Corolla lineup a broader presence in the marketplace. This seemingly simple strategy has helped give the Corolla Cross a strong start in sales with the hybrid model providing buyers an affordable gateway into the hybrid […]
2025 Mazda3 Premium Plus Turbo Hatch Vs The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla – Which Is Best?
The hot hatch market is in an interesting state of flux. Performance CUVs are rapidly entering the territory once strongly held by icons like the Volkswagen GTI. However, the hot hatch is still alive and there are still models fighting for sales supremacy. Two of them are the Mazda3 Turbo hatch and the Toyota GR Corolla. Both of these hatchbacks are two of the best performance models you can get […]
Road Test Review 2025 Lexus NX 450h+ F Sport – Smaller Is Better
The Lexus RX lineup is universally considered to be the brand’s bread-and-butter model with the RX being tasked to be the volume seller. But what if you’re a buyer who wants something smaller but still craves a performance hybrid experience? The Lexus NX is looking to fit the bill with the model even getting a PHEV hybrid model to help please performance SUV buyers. But is the 2025 […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Honda Prologue Elite – The Better Version Of The Blazer EV
The Honda Prologue and the Chevrolet Blazer EV were supposed to be two pieces of a broader EV strategy with the models (and the Acura ZDX) being the fruits of a partnership GM and HOnda had when it came to EV and the Ultium technology lurking underneath. However, the models had two very different paths to sales. While the Blazer appeared with quality issues that eventually forced a brief […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Kona Limited AWD – It’s Still Got It
The 2024 Hyundai Kona made a splash when it was redesigned back in 2024. The new model embraced a futuristic look that was simpler and also embraced Hyundai’s newfound love affair with pixels. However, the second-generation Kona had big shoes to fill with its predecessor being an impressive sales hit for the Korean car giant. With all the big changes that the Kona got for 2024, does its […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 Edition – The Icon Returns
Toyota’s Land Cruiser was long considered to be the best off-roader in Toyota’s arsenal. While the company did make a brief detour with the equally brief revival of the retro-inspired FJ Cruiser, the Land Cruiser was ultimately the model of choice for trail-seeking power warriors. However, by the time the outgoing Land Cruiser appeared on the scene, it seemed the company lost touch […]
2025 Subaru Outback Touring XT review by Ben Lewis
We recently tested the Volvo XC60 SUV and mentioned how the Swedish brand has always been something a little different than the usual European suspects, like Audi, BMW and Mercedes. And we also noted that Subaru has that same sort of vibe. Sure, there are lots of great Toyotas and Hondas, but a Subie…well that’s something a little special, for owners who see themselves as less mainstream. So, we […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Crown Nightshade – This Crown Goes To The Darkside
Toyota has a hit on its hands with the all-new Toyota Crown. The Crown may look like a funky lifted sedan, but this Avalon replacement has proven to be a consistent player in Toyota’s sales portfolio thanks to its combination of luxury, performance, and simple styling. However, some have pointed out the Crown does not have a distinct personality which is a must for younger buyers. Toyota is […]
Review: The Hyundai Sonata N Line Nicely Blends Comfort, Sportiness and Value
While Hyundai is trying to position its new-ish N brand as something akin to M or AMG, it doesn’t have the history—or baggage—of those storied German brands. It’s a clean slate, so Hyundai can do whatever it wants, whether it’s going full-bonkers with rides like the Elantra N or IONIQ5 N, or giving us something milder: like this Hyundai Sonata N Line. And both approaches feel totally fine. […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus ES350 F-Sport – Comfort Over Sportiness
The Lexus ES lineup has always been about providing buttery smooth comfort at a price that also projects a strong value to luxury consumers. With its Camry-based architecture, the ES is often the unsung hero in the luxury brand’s sales numbers with the ES preferring to let other models like the RX, LX, and even the LS shine in the limelight. Lexus has big plans for the ES but we wanted to […]
2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD Ultimate review by Ben Lewis
There are certain brands that just seem to appeal to folks who want to go their own way. For example, there are plenty of nice Toyota and Honda vehicles out there. But among the great mainstream competitors, you also have Subaru. Yes, a Subaru does the same things the others do, but you get a feeling that they have their own way. And it reflects on their owners. In the Premium department, we […]
