2024 Nissan Sentra | Updated Styling, Improved MPGs
While American automakers have almost completely given up on the traditional car segment, the Asian brands are still offering shoppers a multitude of affordable sedan options, and none as full-fledged as Nissan’s lineup of Versa, Altima, Maxima and this refreshed 2024 Sentra.

2024 Subaru Solterra | The Perfect Marriage of Love and Electricity?
Просмотров 89421 час назад
Toyota owns nearly 20% of Subaru just in case you were wondering how cars like the BRZ and this Solterra have been birthed - clones of Toyota models with their own unique styling but little else to call their own. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but you as a shopper should at least be aware that the Solterra is also the Toyota bZ4x and in elevated form, the Lexus RZ. MSRP as-tested: $...

2024 Range Rover Velar | Does It Still Have Curb Appeal?
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.День назад
The Velar occupies the high-fashion position within the Range Rover lineup with a decidedly urban attitude. And a lot has changed since my initial test-drive in 2018 including more fuel-efficient powertrains and a new minimalist interior.

2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid | 2WD and 40 MPG
Просмотров 7 тыс.Месяц назад
It can only tow 2,000 pounds, there’s no 4-wheel drive and the bed is a mere 4 and a half feet long, yet the Maverick Hybrid can be the perfect pickup for the customer who feel alienated by the bloated size and price of the big boys. If you’re a homeowner and don’t own a truck, think of how many times a vehicle like this Maverick would’ve come in handy, right? There’s very much a place in the w...
2024 Audi S4 | Still To Be Reckoned With
Просмотров 5 тыс.Месяц назад
When you’re ready to kick it up a notch, Audi’s S models are ready to deliver. Sandwiched between its standard trims and track-ready RS concoctions, an S model is like a comforting PB&J but with stone-ground peanut butter and homemade jam…it’s elevated but not over-the-top.

Mazda ventured into the rugged-looking SUV game last year with the CX-50 Meridian Edition and when I drove it, I discovered a more appealing and intriguing CX-5 but still not fully committed to the off-road life.

So, you’re shopping for a small, affordable crossover.

But then you heard mumblings that Buick is selling essentially the same car but with greater curb app...

2024 Genesis GV80 | The Sexy Yet Pragmatic Luxury SUV

When it debuted for the 2021 model year, the GV80 heralded the SUV era for Hyundai’s luxury division, followed by the smaller GV70 and even smaller GV60. The GV80 continues to serve as Genesis’s top flight SUV, at least until the larger, GV90 arrives on the scene.

2024 Hyundai Kona | Wiser, More Capable...but that Styling??
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 месяца назад
The Kona small SUV has done exceptionally well for Hyundai since its 2018 debut, but my initial drive left me lukewarm. That was until I experienced the Electric model which impressed me so much that it became the first new car I’d ever purchased. Flash ahead 6 years and an all-new Kona has arrived…this time designed from the ground up as an EV with the gas models finding their way in. From tha...
2024 Lexus GX | A Cautionary Tale: Choose Wisely
Просмотров 94 тыс.3 месяца назад
For the past two decades, the GX has served as the brand’s rugged, family 4X4 - the Lexus 4Runner, if you will. Originally equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 and 5-speed automatic, the GX 470 quickly earned the respect of SUV enthusiasts in the luxury realm. Flash ahead to the here and now, and Lexus has fully embraced the GX’s macho persona expressed through a decidedly boxier design emblematic of o...
2024 Acura Integra Type S | Back with a Vengeance
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 месяца назад
I remember testing Type S models from the past: CL, TL and RSX come to mind not to mention this car’s archetype the Integra Type-R. But for many years in between Acura mostly downplayed its racier spirit but that has changed with the reintroduction of Type S, available on TLX, MDX, ZDX and perhaps most appropriately, this Integra. A larger, more powerful engine, an active exhaust system, wider,...

2024 Lexus TX | The Right-Sized Premium SUV You've Been Waiting For

    I’ve owned 4Runner models 1992, 1995, 1998, 2003, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2020, & now the 2021 Nightshade. Have loved every one of them & they are trouble-free, solid, & tough as nails. They also hold their value better than anything out there. I wouldn’t own any other vehicle & will keep this Nightshade since Toyota chose to quit making that trim.

    The smooth inline mild hybrid 6 cylinder is just enough. Yea I know the hardcore boys who says it must be the full blown V8 is screaming. But as a daily driver and a sporty drive this is enough. Remember Mercedes needs to have something for Audi and BMW intermediate cars. Everything doesn't have to be 63,M, or RS.

      The CVT will be just fine. The newer generation CVT’s from Nissan don’t have the issues that SOME (not all) of the older ones had. I know several people that have way ver 100K miles on the CVT’S and are going strong. I have personally had several Nissan’s with CVT’s sine 2007 and none of them have ever had a single issue. I won’t hesitate to recommend Nissans to anyone I meet.

    In a world where the Civic, Mazda3, Corolla Hybrid and hell even the Hyundai/Kia option in order of preference exist this is a hard sell. Nissans notorious reputation in reliability and memes is too hard to shake off.

    Decent for Nissan. But 29k is up market. A fully loaded Civic (now hybrid) is 31k. Has higher hp, slightly bigger, better mpg, at least as good handling. And historical reliability for Honda is a lot better. A entry level Nissan at 30k is a hard sell

    Hertz is dumping these for as low as 23K. Premium, you might as well call it Base. Cloth, Manual Seats & Manual Liftgate. Loads of Piano Scratch Plastic. Odd instrument cluster location. Slow charging. Alright used if you don't drive far, wait until you can claim the $4,000 EV credit, and pay in the mid to low 20's (before the EV credit) based on the trim.

    This was Toyota's & Subaru's sorry excuse to put out a terrible EV that'll sit on lots for them to turn back around and say "See! No one wants full EVs!" You'd have to be either a die hard Toyota/Subaru fanboy or horribly misinformed to buy one of these over almost any other new EV except maybe the Nissan Leaf.

    Been living with a 2024 300e and gotta say it was well worth the purchase after factoring in a $15k lease-cash deal. Doing without a second motor and the smaller wheels is perfectly fine, but the inclusion of the HUD in the electronics package upgrade was absolutely necessary and I've come to expect a HUD on newer luxury vehicles.
