2024 Subaru BRZ tS review by Ben Lewis
You can’t argue with the popularity of SUVs and crossovers. But we’d be happy to argue that there are still some great cars for enthusiasts, out there too. Sure, maybe less than before, but what’s around are pretty good – even for those on a budget. We recently tested the 2024 Mazda Miata, and it still has all the lightweight convertible goodness you could want. And then there’s the GR86/BRZ […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited – Green Luxury
When Toyota first introduced the Crown moniker to the U.S. it wanted to try and give buyers a unique offering that could stand out from the rest of the hybrid competition while also introducing buyers to a level of luxury that was once reserved for the Japanese market in recent years with these buyers getting the chance to experience a level of Toyota luxury that U.S. buyers would have had to […]
2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid sedan review by Ben Lewis
We recently tested the BMW i4 and loved it – here was an EV that was a BMW first and foremost. And we couldn’t stop thinking about that with our time in the 2025 Civic Hybrid. Lately, the Civic has been a sparkling, delightful and well-priced small sedan and hatch. We especially liked the sporty Si model. So when we heard that the new Hybrid model will be the most powerful non-Type R ever – we […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric Limited
Hyundai is out to prove that EVs can be a viable part of its sales plans. The Ioniq 5, 6, and the upcoming Ioniq 9 are providing a glimpse into how the company intends to integrate these models into its broader vehicle lineup with technology and range leading the way. However, other models will also command their fair share of attention. One of these models is the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric which […]
Review: The Chevrolet Equinox EV 2LT Is A Cost-Friendly Ride With Mass Appeal
Spend too much time on car websites—like I do—and you’ll close your browser believing the following two statements to be true: the world needs more brown, diesel-powered station wagons with manual transmissions; and that the world really needs a sub-$35,000 EV. While that first idea may never find traction beyond a certain subset of enthusiasts, the second one is driving the future of […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited
Hybrid vehicles are experiencing a second act as more automakers embrace the technology after seeing demand for EVs sink which forced them to change their plans for electrification with some of them abandoning plans for an all-electric vehicle lineup. Hyundai has been taking a calculated approach when it comes to green vehicles and while the company has focused heavily on EVs, hybrids also make […]
2024 BMW X2 xDrive28i review by Ben Lewis
We recently tested the BMW i4 Gran Coupe EV and found it to be a fantastic BMW that just happens to be an EV. That’s always the challenge with a brand like this – there are such high expectations. Is the same true for the all-new X2? Certainly, it’s helped by the previous X2 model, a kind of mix between small crossover and hot hatch, based on the X1 small SUV. The X1 is a more traditional […]
Road Test Double Review – 2025 Nissan Murano Platinum & Armada Platinum Reserve
Nissan was once considered to be an edgy firm with the Nissan Armada and Murano being the two lynchpins in the company’s attempts at being a bread-and-butter brand. However, both models suffered from a lack of updates with rivals in both of their segments using the company’s lapse as an opportunity to gain ground and ultimately eclipse Nissan with their own offerings. The company is […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Nissan Altima SR – Stylish Sedan Has Quiet Personality
When it comes to identifying the proverbial bread-and-butter model in Nissan’s lineup, chances are good you will assume crossovers like the Rogue and the Kicks have the mantle. However, a third model also has this role but it doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves. This model is the 2025 Altima sedan with the Altima being Nissan’s enduring entry in the mid-size sedan […]
2025 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe review by Ben Lewis
We’ve noticed two camps, well okay, at least two camps when it comes to EVs. There’s one that celebrates all that’s different and unique – the Hyundai Ioniq 5 comes to mind – and the other, which makes it a very easy transition from gas to electric. Our tester, the BMW i4 is a perfect example. And BMW sweetens the pot for 2025, with notable upgrades inside an out. So, is the i4 the Ultimate […]
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 […]
