And full-size SUVs require a second mortgage on your house! Luckily, the entry-level CUVs are coming loaded with the latest in vehicle technology, just like their larger counterparts. The CX-30 is the latest from Mazda. Read more
Maybe it isn’t fair to compare a Subaru Outback to the new Ford Bronco. No doubt about it, the new Bronco is red-hot right now, and for hardcore off-roading, it’s the perfect vehicle. Unfortunately, most Broncos will be relegated to hopping curbs at the mall parking lot. But let’s say you’re an off-roader who wants a vehicle to drive every day with reasonable fuel economy and Read more
The Volvo XC60 may not be on the tip of an SUV-shopper’s tongue. However, with its 2022 model year updates, it jumps to the front of the line for the tech lover.

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

It’s a tricky time to be shopping the in the used car market. Prices are so high, it’s as if depreciation doesn’t exist. The trend will eventually correct itself, but now we have some reasonably savvy used car shoppers saying to themselves, “What if I just buy an inexpensive new car? That way I have a strong warranty and no worries for years.” For those who’ve ever been Read more
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.
