Give the venerable Golf another look
Today’s buyer of these vehicles would recognize the earliest versions, and that’s what makes them venerable: While they keep up with the times in styling and technology, they maintain the heritage.
Here is it, folks: The perfect car
A recent trip to Michigan afforded me the opportunity to test drive the new Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4 SEL AWC 4-door sedan, and I couldn’t have been luckier.
Here's a road-trip vehicle you're going to love
Okay, so this vehicle doesn’t get the best gas mileage on the planet, but I just can’t imagine a better road vehicle.
The BMW M2: Wow factor on steroids
While it is always exciting to drive a BMW – they don’t call these cars the Ultimate Driving Machine for nothing – I couldn’t help thinking, in advance, that this car would have two strikes against it from the get-go.

A Hyundai sedan that's big on glory but low on guts
When you punch it to get the needed acceleration for entering the highway, for instance, it kicks in with a lot of relish but very little mustard. Maybe I should have said ketchup, because it seemed on the highway that I was playing a game of “catch-up” all the time.
Mazda's latest SUV: The devil's in the details
If I were in the market for a smaller, mid-sized SUV this would definitely be on my shopping list. What bugs me is that Mazda could easily fix the little things wrong for not a lot of money, and they should.
Something has happened to this Lexus, and it isn't good
The 2016 Lexus RX 350 drives beautifully, has all the “stuff,” is quite comfortable, super quiet, roomy, and has a new bold look that is stunning. Then it hit me: It has hidden flaws.
