A daily-driver doesn’t have to be a 3-row SUV or crossover. True, it’d be difficult for most to commute in a Morgan or Pur Sang Bugatti, although some do. But, if your life allows it, there are quite a few sporty cars that can serve as fun commuters, like the Lotus Elise and Honda S2000. …
The mid-sized sedan category has a roster filled with some stiff competition.

This made …
The Chevrolet Corvette has been dazzling drivers with its scintillating performance, surprising utility, and outstanding value for over 60 years.

Compared to European competitors such as the Porsche 911, the interior of Corvettes suffered from subpar fit-and-finish and a lack of high-end …
Manufacturers colluding with one another when it comes to releasing new models is nothing new: Subaru and Toyota produced the FR-S and BR-Z, BMW and Toyota produced the new Supra, and Mazda and Toyota produced the new Yaris. Can anyone spot the lowest common denominator in this equation? New, but not new The Yaris has …
The Toyota Corolla is always trying to step up its game to remain on top. Is the newest Corolla one of the leaders in safety or are there better options?
A lot of people think racing off-road requires getting a specialty SUV or modified pickup truck. But as the various Safari 911s demonstrate, plenty of other cars can also have fun in the dirt. Even so, most would take something like a Fiat Panda hatchback over a Mazda Miata when it comes to off-road racing. …
Lightweight, exotic, and rare. These are characteristics that describe two strikingly similar, yet very different cars. The Alfa Romeo 4C and Lotus Elise have long been accepted as direct competitors for one another, after all, these cars have little in common with almost any other car on the street. But how similar is the 4C …
The short answer to the question is most likely “yes.” Since the Nissan GT-R has four seats, a decent trunk and all-wheel drive (for snowy states). But let’s take a closer look at the specs and really figure out if this Japanese supercar can double as a reliable grocery-getter on the daily. Godzilla’s arrival The …
Special-edition Toyotas are nothing new. When the Scion brand was around, there was a special edition every year for every one of those cars. Remember the Scion FR-S limited-edition Release Series cars? Well, the Toyota 86 Hakone Edition is the same thing, but it’s just a little more special. What’s so special about it? First …

Maserati Ghibli The Maserati Ghibli is a relatively exotic looking luxury sedan that has all of the features of the Maserati sports cars, with more cargo space and seating.

There are a lot of benefits to buying a car brand new. As the first owner, you appreciate knowing where the car has been, and how it has been maintained. Buying a new car often comes at a higher price than a used car, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. In fact, …
Buying a vehicle with a “salvaged” title is nothing new. There are a lot of cars on the pre-owned market today that have been stolen or wrecked, and buyers never blink an eye. But what about the poor cars that suffered from the “Dieselgate” scandal back in 2015. Is anyone buying those? What is “Dieselgate?” …
