    I’ll start this review with some trivia, did you know that the Hyundai Kona is called the Hyundai Kauai in Portugal? Isn’t that interesting, makes you wonder what Kona means in Portuguese? Oh, I’ve just googled it and now know that it means…lady parts! Wow, this is off to a strange start. With all that…

    EVs have been experiencing what the kids call a “glow up,” and public perception of electric cars has changed drastically even since I sampled the 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD last year. This comes thanks in part to the extreme performance of vehicles like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Model 3 Performance, Lucid Air,…

    We’re spoiled for choice these days when it comes to truly good CUVs. Kia (and Hyundai) have made massive strides in this space as of late, and vehicles like the 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige AWD are an example of just how far they’ve come. This is a truly solid crossover with good hybrid powertrain…

    The Kia EV6 GT cranks out 576 horsepower. It can rip from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. And if you fancy getting sideways, there’s a Drift Mode that cuts power from the front motor. Sure, $62,000 is a lot of money but maybe not for a vehicle that has plenty of room inside, a…

    With kid, or kids, comes stuff. And lots of it. What used to be a two-person weekend away that could be packed into the trunk of a Mazda Miata now requires something quite a bit larger. Additional cargo space is effectively as important as extra seating. There’s a reason people buy minivans aside from people…

    I’m gonna say this up front, the Kia Telluride may just be the new benchmark midsize crossover. My colleague Eric covered it on Hooniverse well back when it was a brand new model in 2020, noting that it’s “as good as everyone says“. If you’re already sold on that notion, thanks for clicking and you…

    As much as the general automotive media doesn’t want you to believe it, automakers are still pumping out a wide selection of enthusiast-minded, relatively inexpensive daily drivers that aren’t outright sports cars. Take, for example, the new Honda Civic Si, the Hyundai Elantra N and Veloster N, the Subaru WRX, and so on. Kia, Hyundai’s…

    Electric vehicles are here to stay. Probably. Assuming we can build infrastructure to charge them fairly quickly. Which we might not. Still, the sheer number on the road already proves that this isn’t an automotive fad. In fact, if you follow me on the social medias, you’ll know that I just bought one! I couldn’t…

    The roads north of Sonoma, California are a wonderful place to test pretty much any vehicle. It’s a greener part of California as the hills look healthy with growth. You are surrounded by some of the best wineries on the planet. The people seem happy. And the roads twist and turn around gorgeous hills that…

    It’s amazing that the Kia Stinger even exists. It was a moonshot when it debuted and rumors had it dying for the 2022 model year instead of being refreshed. And here we are, thankful Kia is still selling a rear-wheel-drive (or AWD) hatchback-touting sedan that pays homage to the Audi A7/S7 while leaning heavily on…
