Road Test Review – 2024 Mazda 3 Turbo Premium Sedan – Is It Still Our Favorite Underdog?

The Mazda 3 has always been the proverbial underdog in the compact car segment. While the segment itself has shrunken over the past few years as compact crossovers encroach on their territory with these models stealing customers away. As a result, automakers have slowly begun to kill off these models. Mazda is one of the few that’s still committed to the compact car wars and its Mazda 3 […]

Road Test review – 2024 Lexus IS500 F Sport Performance – Muscular In All The Right Plac…

It wasn’t too long ago that V8-powered muscle cars dominated the performance market. The BMW M3, Audi S4, and the Mercedes C63 AMG all had V8s at one point in time and these V8s helped push them to new heights both in sales and performance. However, the push for tighter fuel economy forced the segment to embrace smaller engines and turbocharging. Lexus has chosen to pivot and re-use a […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan S – Bargain Friendly Comfort

In the SUV market, it can seem that luxury, technology, and bling have become the new normal with all three of these things contributing to the increased prices that you might see in the segment. However, for buyers who prefer a more functional experience, there are still a few options out there that can fit the bill. One of them is the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan S which attempts to bring some of […]

Road Test Follow Up – 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited – Is it Still a Disruptor?

Hyundai wanted to disrupt the segment when it unveiled the Ioniq 6 electric sedan. Following on the heels of the Ioniq 5 SUV, the 6 was supposed to be a shot across the bow against rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and others. However, changing conditions in the EV market have given the Ioniq 6 additional challenges while its status as a sedan also causes it to be overshadowed by an increasing number […]

2024 Toyota Prius XLE review by Ben Lewis

We love it when automakers shake things up. Well, not always. We’re not too sure about the Tesla Cybertruck, to be honest. But when you take a mainstream model and turn the tables, for sure. And that’s just what happened with the Toyota Prius. Yes, the Prius. The poster child for a cleaner, greener future has now become a Sports Illustrated Swimwear model. So, is Toyota brilliant, or did they […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Genesis GV60 – Genesis Attempts To Break EV Mold With GV60

The Genesis GV60 is the brand’s attempt to break the mold in the EV segment. Combining futuristic styling with impressive amounts of range and technology, the compact CUV is supposed to be the spearhead into the broader segment for Genesis. However, recent slowdowns in growth and demand for EVs are making Genesis consider a strong push into hybrid vehicles. That said, the GV60 Magma is also […]

2024 Subaru Impreza RS review by Ben Lewis

While the Subaru Forester and Outback are the brand’s big sellers, for over 30 decades the entry-level Impreza has soldiered on, offering affordable AWD to loads of buyers. And in 1998, the carmaker brought the RS model to market, offering a sporty step up. Eventually, that would grow into the WRX model enthusiasts love today. What’s nice is that Subaru hasn’t forgotten the driver on a budget, […]

2024 Acura TLX Type S road test review by Ben Lewis

Acura has been quietly polishing their lineup for the last couple of years and has also been developing their own kind of sub-brand, Type S, for the real die-hard enthusiasts. We tested such notables as the storming Integra Type S, and the super-capable MDX Type S. And when the maker brought out a 2022 TLX Type S two years ago, we were impressed, and for 2024 there’s some serious enhancements […]

2024 Volkswagen Golf R review by Ben Lewis

We often bemoan that the marketplace has been taken over by SUV’s and Crossovers, but to be honest, this is a great time for cars – especially for those who love to drive. Case in point, the 2024 VW Golf R. Looking for thrills matched with practicality? You’ve come to the right place! Subtle but Different One interesting thing we noticed with the Golf R – even though it is very similar to the VW […]

2024 Lexus RZ 300e review by Ben Lewis

Here’s an interesting little paradox for you. While the Japanese carmakers are happy to bring you the latest tech, they’ve almost to a fault been slow to bring EV tech to market. Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrids, sure – but full on EV’s, not so much. Well, maybe they know something we don’t, but they are now getting with the program, and EV vehicles from Mazda, Honda, Acura and Nissan (ok, they’ve been […]

First Drive Review – 2024 Ineos Grenadier Trialmaster – Old-School SUV Charm in a Modern…

The iconic old-school Land Rover Defender left some empty shoes to fill when it left U.S. shores. The rugged old-school SUV delivered massive amounts of capability and also created a small following among loyalists. When it left the U.S., it created a void, and while the revitalized Defender is doing an admirable job of restoring the nameplate’s luster in the U.S., hardcore Defender fans […]

2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited review by Ben Lewis

If you’re interested in EV’s, Kia/Hyundai have to be on your map. We recently tested the fantastic Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, and found them to be delightful, capable and fun. They’re the kind of vehicles that convert gas vehicle owners to EV fans with one quick test drive! With the EV9 and Ioniq 5, you’re talking sensible crossover/suv type vehicles, but what if you want something more sedan, […]
