2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Mini-Truckin’ is Back!

Americans love their trucks. The Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America. Ford originally held back on its smaller Ranger, thinking that it might cannibalize sales from the leader. But America’s appetite for a vehicle with a bed is strong, leading Ford to recently introduce the Maverick, in addition to the mid-size Ranger, to get into the small-truck segment. We’ve Read more

Car Starter and Security System Remotes Have Changed Over the Years

The very first car alarm I ever saw was installed on my neighbor’s C3 Corvette. A small key switch had been installed in the fender with a cast aluminum cover. If he wanted to “secure” the vehicle, he’d lift the cover, insert a tubular lock key and give it a turn. Fast forward four decades, and now we have high-speed data communication systems that can talk to the computers in Read more

The Best Remote Car Starter and Security System I’ve Owned

The first two upgrades I made when I purchased my 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan were to have the windows tinted and a remote car starter installed. If you want to know how well the window tint project went, read this post. On the remote starter side, everything went pretty well. I had an iDatastart HC-Series starter installed and added the AutoConnect telematics interface from my Read more

Improve the Range of Your Remote Car Starter with These Six Tips

If you ask anyone who’s had a remote starter or car alarm, they’ve likely heard of holding the remote to their chin to improve range. That’s right: With many of the classic key fobs, touching the remote to your chin while pressing the button can increase the signal strength and allow you to unlock, disarm or start the vehicle. Because new car starter remotes use different Read more

Does Your Car Stereo Sound Right, or Is It Nice?

I’ve listened to a LOT of car stereo equipment since I started in the car audio industry back in 1988. Since 2000, I’ve tested and formally reviewed hundreds of car audio products for publications across North America. I’ve even developed subwoofers, speakers and DSP-equipped amplifiers for one of the companies I worked for. I was a car audio sound quality competition judge for Read more

2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited: Maximum Tech for Minimal Money

A lot of us would like a brand-new Tesla, and we know that making a comparison from a Tesla to a Hyundai Elantra is a big leap … or is it? Besides the powertrain differences, the infotainment tech in the Elantra can more than compete. The redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited has a new exterior design that is part of the company’s “Parametric Dynamics” program. Distinct Read more

2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Hate Going to the Pump?

The Hyundai Sonata has proven itself a worthy competitor to the benchmark Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Both these vehicles have hybrid powerplant options, and so does the Sonata. The new engineering in the Hyundai version seems to be a cut above the competition when it comes to technology. Where the Sonata really shines in its bladder-busting capability between rest stops: a Read more

2020 Genesis G70. Bargain Luxury

As the Genesis brand works to separate itself from the more plebian Hyundai brand, you’ll start to see Hyundai dealerships with segregated areas for Genesis vehicles. For 2020, the Genesis offers three sedans: the G70, G80 and G90. Spending a week in the G70 showed how much sedans have grown in size the past few years. Even the G70, which is similar in size to today’s Honda Read more

Sound Deadening Adds Luxury to Your Car, Truck or SUV

One trait that has come to be universally expected among luxury vehicles is the quietness of their interior. Once exclusive to such premium vehicles as Mercedes, Audi, BMW and Rolls-Royce, companies like Hyundai and Kia are delivering startlingly quiet interiors. In addition to minimizing road and wind noise, the drone of an exhaust system and the hum of the tires, a quiet Read more

Five Upgrades to Make Your Motorcycle’s Audio Sound Better

If you’re a fan of a little “wind therapy,” then having some great music to listen to while you you’re riding your motorcycle starts with a great audio system. Sure, BMW, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki and Honda include radios and speakers with their touring bikes, but so do Toyota and Hyundai cars and SUVs. All of them could use an upgrade or two to put a smile on your face when a Read more

Your New Car or Truck Might Not Have a Radio

If you visit a new car dealership these days, you’ll notice more and more cars, trucks and SUVs with small touchscreen displays that are mounted in front of or above the dash. While these infotainment systems provide you with AM/FM terrestrial radio, SiriusXM Satellite radio and playback of all your favorite digital media files, these systems aren’t traditional car radios in Read more

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL Plus.  Moving Cargo and People!

Santa Fe is a small American city, but Hyundai has borrowed the name for its big SUV (sister company Kia has gone a similar route with its large Telluride SUV). For 2019, Hyundai has dropped the Santa Fe Sport (but added the very cool small Kona) and has added the Santa Fe XL. How about people who typically carry items in the cargo hold but not necessarily passengers? Then the Read more
