Reasons to Avoid Car Air Fresheners Might Surprise You

Air fresheners have been a part of car ownership for as long as I can remember. You see them casually in the check-out lanes of the local market, hanging from more than a handful of rearview mirrors in a parking lot, and even see fancier ones at a high-end candle and scent stores. They seem …

How Expensive is a Fully Loaded 2021 Kia Telluride?

The Kia Telluride has bulldozed a new name for the brand. In fact, with some tactical imagination, the once underrated car manufacturer has skyrocketed in popularity thanks to the introduction of vehicles like the Telluride. Sliding into home base to steal the spotlight in a needy market of third-row-seat SUVs, there are so many reasons …

What Does it Mean When a Car is a Good Daily Driver?

The phrase “daily driver” is quite common in the car community, and the phrase itself is relatively self-explanatory. The car that you drive every day, or mostly every day when it comes to the ins-and-outs of your weekly routine, is your daily driver. So, when it comes to talking about whether or not a car …

Can the Toyota RAV4 Really Go the Distance?

No one recommends buying a car with higher mileage, but that doesn’t mean we don’t take some interest in them. Mileage on a car can affect value heavily, especially when you’re looking at over one hundred thousand miles on the odometer. Seeing a number of vehicles with higher mileage reassures us that the car is …

Nissan Sets Sights to become Carbon Neutral by 2050

Gasoline-powered vehicles are one factor that many of us recognize as causing major harm to the environment. Exhaust fumes, mining and production of materials, and a number of other factors in and around the auto industry play into our carbon footprint. With the idea of electric cars becoming more and more common, it isn’t surprising …

The 2021 Kia Sorento Does Actually Have Third-Row Seating

The past year we have been inundated with positive reviews and accolades about the large-and-in-charge Kia Telluride. The Kia Telluride quickly became one of the brand’s most popular and notable vehicles, offering unique style, a touch a luxury, and the space of third-row seating. It isn’t the only highly-reviews third-row seating SUV in the manufacturer’s …

The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta Isn’t Living up to Expectations

The Volkswagen Jetta is the entry-level sedan that sits happily between affordability and luxury. It doesn’t come with the same German prestige as brands like BMW and Audi, but owners have seemed to love previous generations of the cars just the same. Every year it seems that we set high expectations for the vehicle, hoping …

Audi and BMW to End Monthly Subscription Services

Popular luxury car mavens Audi and BMW have finally announced the end of their vehicle subscription services.

The Odd Nissan Juke Succeeded Where the Murano CrossCabriolet Couldn’t

Years ago, Nissan gave us the clumsy convertible SUV, the Murano CrossCabriolet. It wasn’t well-received by the general consumer market, and it wasn’t highly regarded by owners. Not long after, the manufacturer gave us an equally awkward-looking SUV, the Juke, but made some key changes. Both are the odd-ducklings of the SUV world, both produced …

The car manufacturer that seems to be the rising underdog in the past few years is Kia, and the brand has done pretty well to reestablish itself. Knocking it out of the ballpark with the Kia Stinger and the Kia Telluride, the manufacturer has shown that they can hit the nail on the head with …

The Mitsubishi 3000GT Was So Ahead of It’s Time That We Forgot It

In modern days, we love to see cars with futuristic tech and features we’ve never seen before. Tesla is a great example of this — a brand that features the latest tech, cool Easter eggs that you don’t see in any other cars, and spaceship-like features. But, there is a point in time where cars become …

Another Airbag Recall Update Leaves us Rolling Our Eyes

Since they have become standard in cars, we’ve come to acknowledge how important of a safety feature our airbags are. Newer cars even go so far as to add airbags in the back seats, side curtains, and other areas of the car rather than the traditional dashboard-based airbags. So, when it comes to our airbags …
