Here’s everything you need to know about the 2019 Mustang Bullitt edition in one sentence: After about 20 minutes in the car, my wife said to me, “Riding in the passenger seat of this car is a bummer.” I think you get what she’s saying, right? This car is all about the driver. If you’re […]

There are surprises, and there are pleasant surprises. The 2019 Jetta falls into the latter category. It had been a few years since I got a peek at this particular VW model, and I could tell right away that the recent redesign has really helped an already-popular car. The Jetta is approaching its 40th birthday […]

Over the last quarter-century the 3-series has not only been the biggest seller of all the BMW models, it’s also found itself on Car and Driver’s 10 Best list more than 20 times. By all definitions, that qualifies as a smash hit. It also puts a car reviewer, such as me, into a funny position: […]

Shortly after I met Gretchen, who’s now my wife, she bought a Hyundai Santa Fe. That meant I got to drive it fairly often. (The truth is, Gretchen hates driving and will always default to being the passenger, even when we take her car.) That’s when my love affair with this SUV began, and nothing […]

If you want to check on the health of a particular car model, quickly scan the sales numbers. It’s not unusual for a model to fluctuate based on several factors, including how recently it’s been updated. But when you check the numbers on the Mazda CX-5 you see something very telling. Those sales figures have […]

When it was first introduced in 2001, this crossover SUV was known as the Airtrek. The name was intended to produce a feeling of “footloose, adventure-filled motoring pleasure.” By 2006 a new name was introduced, the Outlander. This time we were told to expect a “feeling of journeying to distant, unexplored lands in search of […]

Before I forget, let me offer one suggestion should you purchase the Acura RDX. Do a quick online search for how to disable a feature called Walk Away Auto Lock. You’ll thank me. Yes, in my 20 years of writing car reviews that was easily the oddest way I’ve ever started one. Auto Lock means […]

Once upon a time Infiniti produced a smaller luxury crossover/SUV called the EX. Then someone upstairs sent down a memo telling everyone to not only substitute new letters, but to just go ahead and change everything. And, voila, you have a fully redesigned QX50. It’s not like this SUV wasn’t getting solid reviews. In fact, […]

This car has an interesting history, from its conception and production as a joint effort with Subaru, to the transformation it has experienced through the years, and even to the pronunciation of the name. (That’s right, don’t call it the “eighty-six.” It’s the “eight six.”) When Toyota first approached some of the engineers at Subaru […]

The Honda Insight has had an interesting history. Originally launched in the late 1990s, it hit the market about the same time as the more-recognizable Toyota Prius. But while the Prius became the poster child of the hybrid vehicle, the Insight fought for respect. It’s seen its share of ups and downs, winning major awards […]
