When you think of a car alarm, chances are that little red button on your key fob that you accidentally press in the parking lot, causing your car to blare its horn and alert everyone to its presence, comes to mind. Although this is a handy feature to have, most cars these days do not […]
In the world of performance-oriented hatchbacks, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is a legitimate trailblazer. VW might not have invented the “hot hatch” concept––that honor would go to the short-lived Italian brand Autobianchi––but it did bring the idea to the masses, catering to a new generation of young, thrill-seeking drivers with a sport-tuned version of its […]
In recent decades, the thought of an electric vehicle seemed far-fetched. Today, however, many automakers have set their sights on a full lineup of electric vehicles.

In this day and age, the technology that comes equipped on a vehicle makes a big difference. We live in a technologically advanced era that relies on staying connected. Whether we need access to our work schedules, to stay on top of school due dates, check in on our kids, or plan a girls night […]
In the 1980s, Volkswagen began to make a name for itself in the American market. While the VW Beetle had not done well during its initial introduction in the 1950s, subsequent years had been kind to Volkswagen as it began paying attention to what American drivers wanted: a small, comfortable sedan with good gas mileage […]
The Volkswagen Taos, a subcompact SUV with a roomy interior, turbocharged engine, and solid fuel economy rating, is a relatively new offering that first debuted for the 2022 model year. Given how new it is, it’s not surprising that the 2023 Volkswagen Taos hasn’t undergone any major design changes to differentiate it from the debut […]
Volkswagen has managed to hit quite a stride in recent years with the Tiguan, a compact crossover that has managed to give the German brand a boost and a nice distraction from some of the less savory elements that may have besmirched the company’s good name throughout the years. More to the point, the Tiguan […]
The subcompact crossover SUV market is popular and has lots of options in it; you might even go so far as to call it overcrowded in terms of just how many models you can choose from. When a new vehicle gets dropped into this big pool, it’s easy for it to make a minor ripple […]
Each year, new cars make their way onto the roadways offering drivers even more choices when it comes to how they wish to travel. For many, SUVs offer exactly what is needed in a vehicle—space, style, functionality, and safety. When drivers are looking for options that are easy to drive and handle through city traffic […]
Electric vehicles have been shrouded in mystery for years, primarily because of their mile-high price tags, making them exclusive to only those with deep pockets. Fortunately, the tides are changing as we see with new cheaper models and new rivalries like the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Electric Vehicle vs 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV. These models do […]

“Slug Bug!” Did this exclamation immediately send you back to your childhood? The “Slug Bug” game was a pastime for many kids, especially those who needed an excuse to “lovingly” slap their siblings. But its benefits didn’t solely end with kids; it added to Volkswagen’s brand recognition and forever impacted the young children who might […]
What’s better? When you look at the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2022 Toyota RAV4, both SUVs look like ideal commuter vehicles. But you can only get one, and you need your vehicle to last without compromising comfort while remaining flexible enough to fit into your life.

Does design really matter? I’m not asking if it really matters to you personally, but if it really matters in the big picture of automotive excellence. Take two vehicles in the same class—say, the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport vs the 2022 Ford Edge—and you’ll see that one is certainly a bit savvier in the […]
Performance, style, and price are all major factors for determining which hot hatch to go with. Do you opt for one that leans more lenient on your wallet or one that offers you more horsepower when burning rubber? It might seem like an easy decision to make, but it’s not quite that simple when it […]
It’s the season finale of your favorite show. You’re sitting on the couch, and just as the show is getting good, then boom––commercials. Some people use this opportunity to grab a snack, refill their drink, or use the restroom. Others, like myself, are drawn to these commercials. Not exactly because of the advertising, but what […]
Sometimes it’s not the major, obvious overhauls that are the most important as a vehicle slowly evolves over time. For the Volkswagen Tiguan, this rings especially true for its fuel economy ratings. The model has only been on the market for two generations since 2007, and it has had a rocky pathway to finally securing […]
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 […]
For 2022, both the VW Jetta and Honda Civic have delivered some rather exciting updates to their lineups, most notably with the Jetta GLI and the Civic Si redesigns.
