In a world in which sedans are becoming increasingly rare, it’s somewhat comforting to know that compact cars like the Kia Forte are still in production and thriving. Today’s Forte comes well-equipped with a zippy engine, excellent fuel economy, and plenty of comfort and safety features to help drivers enjoy time spent behind the wheel. […]
Everyone has a mental image of what they consider the ultimate “status symbol” vehicle. In some cases, there are multiple models. For example, the vintage Corvette is what you take for a night on the town, but when you need to make an appearance at the office, you take the Bentley. For many drivers, these […]
Some say, “a car is just a car.” Before any gearheads fly into a rage, remember that cars aren’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea. Just as knitting, painting, and playing the piano aren’t something we can all bond over, some folks are happy to purchase the least complicated, most user-friendly, and overall budget-appropriate vehicle that […]
Though we like to act like it’s not that big of a deal, it actually takes quite a bit of skill and nerves of steel to take to the streets during a Canadian winter. Naturally, different parts of the country offer their own unique road conditions, from snowdrifts and ice to rogue moose. If we’re […]

Let’s be abundantly clear: the Chevy Trax is not, nor has ever been, a bad vehicle. It’s just that in the past few years, it’s had a lot of trouble keeping up with some of the more exciting options in the Chevrolet stable. Granted, it wasn’t intended to keep up with the Corvette or Camaro, […]
It’s hard to believe the Toyota 4Runner is already 40 years old. The firstborn child of the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Toyota Hilux, the 4Runner has royal oil in its lines. Yet, in recent years the 4Runner has stayed somewhat in the background among off-road capable SUVs even as sales have exploded. But why? […]
In 1968, Subaru released a little vehicle called the 360. The market slogan was “Cheap and Ugly,” but things have surely changed significantly since then. Subaru’s modern lineup of vehicles is significantly larger, for starters. The term “cheap” has also been replaced with “economical.” But while Subaru’s rugged visage has undergone several updates over the […]
When American auto giant Ford announced that it planned to use exclusively renewable energy by 2035, a lot of eyebrows were raised. Is it even possible to manufacture a vehicle using, as Ford put it, “100-percent locally sourced renewable energy?” Then Ford put its money where its mouth is, investing $11.5 billion towards its electric […]
Drivers of a certain age will never forget the Ford Taurus. That’s because the Taurus was everywhere.

We live in a world full of SUV options. Ford offers eight SUV models in its 2022 lineup and only one car. There’s no doubt that SUVs are continuously in demand. Drivers who need more cargo space, more seating, or a taller vehicle with greater road visibility all flock to SUVs for a vehicle they […]
In early 2022, Mazda officially announced that the brand intends to become a luxury brand.

Folks who have been driving for a few years are likely familiar with SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Explorer. After all, the Jeep brand name has practically become synonymous with adventurous SUVs, and the Explorer is now in its sixth generation of production, but things are a little different in 2022. […]
Once upon a time, drivers had very few choices when it came to SUVs. Giant three-row vehicles and boxy off-roaders were common, but drivers who craved a combination of ample cargo room and comfortable passenger accommodations were encouraged to take a look at minivans or station wagons. Mercifully, those days ended with the arrival of […]
As of this moment, there are a lot of SUVs on the market. In fact, there are so many that we lost track, mainly because some are known by other names, such as “the compact crossover.” Still, for all intents and purposes, these vehicles are more like SUVs than cars. So how does one choose […]
You’ve probably wondered who gets the honor of naming all of the different car models that Volkswagen rolls out to the public. In fact, you’ve probably also wondered where those unusual names you’ve seen at your local VW dealer come from, too. The names are usually generated internally, with a lot of research going into […]
In this day and age, our vehicles are a necessity. For many of us, getting to work, buying groceries, and all of our daily duties are made easier by having a vehicle of our own. But many of us also lack an unlimited disposable income, which is why we have to be smart and savvy […]

Once upon a time, the Chevy Suburban was in a class by itself, but the 2022 Chevy Suburban takes things to another level. Equal parts sport and utility, the Suburban has been in production since 1935, making it one of the oldest continuously manufactured vehicles in the United States.
