2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL TSI 4Motion vs. 2018 Volvo XC60 T5 AWD: Sweating the Details

With mainstream automakers offering luxury-laden trims while prestige car brands attempt to democratize luxury, we organized four comparison tests to see who does posh better for a capped price of $40,000.

2018 Lexus NX 300 First Test: All the Small Things

After a few years on the market, Lexus has decided its now second-smallest crossover could use a little pick-me-up, so the NX is getting a few upgrades for 2018. Look close, though, because they aren’t obvious. Aside from some new paint colors and wheel finishes, the big difference you’ll see first on any 2018 Lexus […]

2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS First Test: Dude, Where’s My V-6?

We live in a time when nearly every vehicle type is available with a small turbocharged engine, so it’s no surprise to find one in a large three-row crossover. The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS is the latest addition in a growing number of midsize three-row crossovers that offer a turbocharged four-cylinder, following the Ford Explorer, […]

2017 Mini Clubman Cooper S All4 Long-Term Verdict: The Cool Tax

During my year chaperoning the Mini Clubman, I got a lot of comments and questions about the bigger Mini model, but the most common was, “How do you like it?” Answering that question was always tricky because I do like the Clubman quite a bit. I’d think for a moment how I could justify its […]

Buick Regal TourX vs. Subaru Outback 3.6R vs. Volkswagen Golf Alltrack

There’s nothing worse than plans that have gone belly up, but there we were, pulled over in the middle of rural Wyoming, with a ruptured intercooler and a gaping hole where the passenger-side headlight once was on our 2018 Buick Regal TourX, courtesy of a deer. What we’d planned to do was compare the new […]

Beasts of Burden: Ford Expedition vs. Chevrolet Tahoe vs. Dodge Durango vs. Toyota Sequoia vs. Nissan Armada

As Americans, we ask a lot out of our family vehicles. But none exerts itself harder than the full-size, three-row SUV. These seven- and eight-seat SUVs are tasked with shuttling family members to school, jobs, and sports practice during the week. On the weekend, these workhorses support our hobbies—from towing horses or boats on trailers […]

2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI First Test: The Balanced Hot Hatch

As one of the original hot hatches, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is the gold standard in the sport compact segment, combining practicality and excellent driving dynamics in one package. For 2018, the entire Golf lineup gets a significant refresh, and the spunky GTI gets a much-needed infusion of tech. Sadly, we don’t get the power […]

2017 Mazda CX-5 Long Term Update 2: Mileage and the Blind-Spot Monitoring System

As the honeymoon phase starts to taper off, I’m starting to see a few shortcomings of my 2017 Mazda CX-5. I mentioned in the arrival that our Real MPG testing resulted in an 18.4/29.9/22.3 mpg city/highway/combined rating, which is below the gas mileage both Mazda and the EPA claims (23/29/26 for AWD 2017 models like […]

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SEL First Test: Refreshed but Lacking

Straight to the point: I don’t care much for the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. It simply is outclassed by most of its rivals—and in a few months, Mitsubishi will have a better, similarly priced sibling on the same showroom floor. Although Mitsubishi has updated the Outlander Sport for the 2018 model year with new technology—the […]

2018 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T First Test Review: Quicker and More Agile

Once incredibly popular, midsize sedans are quickly falling out of favor as Americans choose crossovers. Every single nonpremium midsize sedan on the market has slipped in the sales charts during the first 11 months of 2017. But that doesn’t mean the segment is becoming any less competitive. Honda has rolled out an impressive new Accord, […]
