If one thing’s become clear in recent years, it’s that simply existing is becoming more expensive with each passing day. With going to the grocery store costing more than ever before, niceties like transportation become a bigger strain on our budgets. This is a time in which a new vehicle is an impossible idea for […]
As I’ve looked at the EV market right now, what’s on the horizon, and Chevy’s offerings in particular, this is the question I’ve been left with. Obviously, Chevy and Ford are major competitors with a rivalry that goes back more than a century, so it’s only natural that we see Chevy want to compete with […]
Gone are the days when driving an SUV meant sacrificing fuel efficiency in favor of cargo space, extra rows of passenger seating, or go-anywhere capability. Modern hybrid drivetrains make it possible for a vehicle to offer all the space, seating, and power that you could want while still achieving decent mileage. If you visit your […]
For more than a century, Ford has been making some of the most popular vehicles on the road. That’s a legacy you can’t buy or find a shortcut to; it has to be earned. This kind of reputation does two things: it tells us what Ford has focused on in the past and creates a […]
At this point, you could safely call the Chevy Malibu “America’s midsize sedan” for a couple of reasons. For one, it’s one of the most popular and impressive sedans on the market. For two, it’s one of only a handful of sedans still offered by American car companies. We all know that SUVs have come […]
This is a time of upheaval and change for the auto industry, one that will impact the vehicles we drive for decades to come in much the same way the oil crisis of the 1970s did. Although there are some people not in favour of it, there’s no denying that car manufacturers are looking at […]
A friend of mine recently asked me which car companies I would recommend—he wants to get a used vehicle, but he’s not sure where to start. I started to give him my usual answer about checking out how different brands are ranked at the moment, but then I realized I had a problem. I wasn’t […]
That’s a great question and one that I’m going to help you with today as we sort through the potentially complex maze of options waiting for anyone interested in the Lexus ES. Whether you’re looking for a Lexus ES for sale or simply curious about this prestigious luxury model, there’s one thing no one can […]
It’s 1997, and your mom has begrudgingly agreed to take you and your friends to see the Star Wars Special Edition at your local theater. Do you and six of your buddies all pile into a large SUV? No, absolutely not; Mom’s minivan will be your personal Millennium Falcon. While scenes like these and minivans […]
For about as long as the auto industry has existed, trucks have been among the most important vehicles being designed and produced. Whether you’re looking at options from a century ago, which were little more than frames that people had to build their trucks onto, or the most sophisticated and luxurious pickups on the road […]
Mazda got its start as a cork company, believe it or not, but its entry into the auto industry was noteworthy due to its use of the Wankel rotary engine in the 1960s. Although the brand didn’t invent the rotary engine, Mazda pioneered its use in cars and became the leading user of this type […]
So you are out on the trail, far from the confines of civilization and the limitations that paved roads and city streets place on you. The day is going well, and though you have encountered a few challenges, nothing proved trickier than you could handle. That is, of course, until you come to a tight […]
No one is born knowing how to rent a car or what terms and conditions to be aware of, yet it is something so commonplace that it is easy to feel foolish asking fundamental questions about it. However, asking questions is always a good idea. Before jumping into anything—even something as straightforward as a short-term […]
I was excited when I heard the first rumors about the Ford Bronco making a return; I was thrilled to learn that it would be an incredible off-road machine, and then I was absolutely ecstatic to find out that a smaller Bronco Sport model was joining it. Since its release a couple of years ago, […]
I was recently talking to my mother, and she said she was considering getting rid of her car. It’s about six years old at this point, and she’s having a few more maintenance and service issues than in years past, but it still works, and, more importantly, it’s paid off. I quickly and loudly told […]
With electric vehicles set to take over the market in the years ahead, many drivers are interested in what EVs can offer but are unsure if they’re ready for one. If only there was some kind of middle ground between a conventional gas-powered vehicle and a fully-electric model…oh wait, there is! A plug-in hybrid electric […]
Close your eyes for a moment (don’t really close your eyes, just go with it) and picture yourself in the perfect vehicle; what does it look like? Is it a massive full-size SUV with incredible luxury that stretches from one end of the road to another, dominating every lane of traffic and filling out parking […]
Have you ever had one of those days where everything just seems to go wrong? You had a power outage last night, so your phone didn’t charge, which means it was dead in the morning, so your alarm didn’t go off—now you’re running late, get out the door, and discover you have a flat tire! […]
A hard-working truck is more than just another way to get from point A to point B, and the Chevy Silverado is more than just another truck. This is something that Chevy fans have understood for years, and it’s clear that the folks at Chevrolet get it too, because they’re working overtime to keep the […]
Car safety is sexy—there, I said it. Some people might think that stats or regulations for vehicle safety are boring or uninteresting, but as far as I’m concerned, they’re some of the most interesting parts of the auto industry. Sure, they’re not flashy like a mid-engine sports car or brag-worthy like a truck that can […]
