The Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S has spectacular suspension
/
Suspension is responsible for many important things like keeping the tires on the ground, allowing the chassis to do its work, making sure you’re comfortable, and maximizing the engine’s ability to put power down. And that’s just to name a few. The suspension on the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S is perhaps the greatest highlight…

2023 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD: Review
/
Like humans, vehicles also tend to “grow up” over their lifespan, getting larger and heavier, but usually also more rich with features. The Honda HR-V is a great example, when it arrived on our shores in 2016 it was based on the diminutive subcompact Honda Fit. Now, after eight Fit-based model years, it’s back. However,…

/
The average transaction price on a new vehicle is, quite frankly, an insane number. It’s over $48,000 at the moment. In fact, it’s been over $40,000 for more than three years now. Cars are only getting more expensive. So when an affordable new car pops up, it almost feels like an automaker is playing a…

2023 MINI Cooper S Clubman All4 – Quick Review
/
“MINIs aren’t so mini anymore” goes the trope we’ve all heard time and time again. As much as we don’t want it to be right, the trope isn’t totally wrong. MINI’s 2023 Clubman isn’t a huge car by any means at only 168.3 inches long, yet considering that the 2000’s reincarnated R53 Cooper was only…

2023 BMW M340i Quick Review
/
“The sedan is dead!” they chant, “the CUV has taken over wholly and completely!” That might be reflected in sales figures, but there’s still plenty cars (real cars!) out there worth our attention. Even while BMW is seemingly striving to fill every possible niche in the CUV/SUV field, a week with the 2023 M340i showed…

2023 Lexus RZ450e Luxury: EV Review
/
The electric future is here, and…it’s a mixed bag if I’m honest. I’ve driven all kinds of EVs, more than I can even self-promotingly link here, and unfortunately one of my least favorite was the Toyota B-zed-Four-X-ray. The bZ4X has a terrible name that is hard to remember, and I found the drive uninspiring, the…
