2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid. When Blending In is Good.

When Toyota first came out with the Toyota Prius, the powertrain was so far from the mainstream it was destined to be in its own vehicle. But Toyota has perfected the hybrid powertrain and has made it commonplace. In addition to the Prius, I’ve tried it in the Sienna minivan and the RAV4 SUV. The 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid brings the fuel-sipping savings of the Prius to a Read more

2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport: The Sporty Lexus Sedan

The 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport is the tight little Lexus sedan. It might not have the cache of the 3-Series BMW, but when you consider what you get for the money, the Lexus should get a look, especially if you’re looking to own and not lease. The proven reliability of the brand, coupled with a Toyota V-6 engine, typically leads to vehicles that can go for over 300,000 miles. IS Read more

Upgrades Abound for Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter and Ram ProMaster Vans

In the ’70s, owning a van was cool. In the ’80s, Chrysler moved those buyers into its new car-based platform, the minivan, with the Caravan. This compact cargo- and people-friendly vehicle kicked off a trend that’s only recently lost momentum. When it’s time to move a large group of people, or you need the most cargo room possible, companies like Mercedes-Benz, Ford, GMC and Read more

2020 Subaru Legacy Limited XT. Living Legacy!

It used to be that if you wanted an all-wheel-drive sedan, you turned to Subaru. They were one of the few automobile manufacturers specializing in drivetrains engineered to put power to the pavement through all four wheels – especially in slippery conditions. But competition in the segment has crept up on Subaru, with Nissan now offering the Altima in all-wheel drive, and Read more

2020 Ford Escape Titanium. Escape Path!

When the Ford Escape was first introduced about 20 years ago, it was a boxy little SUV, but it did perform admirably. It was Ford’s first foray into the now wildly popular CUV (some say the C stands for compact, some say for cute) segment. Some might even remember that it was cut from the same cloth as the Mazda Tribute. It was the vehicle that helped Ford and Mazda sell Read more

2020 Mazda MX-5 RF. Adding Practicality to the Miata!

Truth be told, I love the Mazda Miata. I never thought I would own one, but too many other automotive journalists talked me into the platform as the perfect reasonably priced, open-air sports car. I am glad I listened to them years back and picked up a first-generation vehicle. It proved both super reliable and super fun. It needed a bit more power, but as anyone involved in Read more

2019 Fiat 500c Abarth. The Ripsnortin’ Riot Fiat!

For automotive enthusiasts, the Fiat 500c is charming little car. It can be compared to a Smart car in terms of size, but with the added practicality of a small backseat and trunk. Plus, it reminds us of the classic Fiats of yore and their Italian heritage, just like Lightning McQueen’s friend Luigi in Pixar’s Cars. The Abarth is the performance version and uses a 1.4-liter Read more

With the nearly instant popularity of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, smartphone-connected radios are quickly replacing built-in navigation solutions as the upgrade of choice.
