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 […]
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 […]
