The Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S takes sport-4×4 ATVs to the extreme
/
/
comments
We’re getting acquainted with our long-term Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S, a machine that exists primarily to bring about smile-inducing fun and to conquer anything and everything in its path. Yet no spec sheet can tell you whether a vehicle is good or not. Assessing the competence, achievement of reason for the machine’s existence, and…

2023 Kia EV6 GT Quick Review
/
/
comments
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,…

2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Review: Complete and utter madness
/
/
comments
The 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is one of the most irresponsible vehicles on sale today, and that’s meant as a compliment. Nobody needs to transport themselves and five passengers at the rate this thing can, and the consequence of a wildly shouty 6.2-liter supercharged V8 making 710 horsepower in a vehicle that weighs 5,575…

The Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S has spectacular suspension
/
/
comments
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 MINI Cooper S Clubman All4 – Quick Review
/
/
comments
“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 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige AWD Quick Review
/
/
comments
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…

2023 BMW M340i Quick Review
/
/
comments
“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…

The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate is an epic ATV hauler
/
/
comments
Hauling a big-bore ATV is no small feat for a light-duty pickup, especially when that four-wheeler is the monster Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S. Payload ratings and springs suited for people moving as much as they are for moving mountains makes for a hit-or-miss experience in terms of how well the truck does with nearly…

We’re testing the most extreme ATV on sale; Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S
/
/
comments
91 horsepower. 55 inches wide. 14 inches of suspension travel. $17,799 MSRP. Those are the highlights of the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S, the biggest, baddest ATV on sale today. It’s equipped with Walker Evans 3-Way adjustable suspension, has 14.5 inches of ground clearance, and looks like something designed to be ridden in the Baja…

2018 Lexus GX460 Build Project: Adding CarPlay with Grom’s VLine VL2 kit
/
/
comments
Nowadays, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are commonplace in production passenger vehicles. I always enjoy the former when driving new press cars, an appreciation that came about sometime after I had already purchased my 2018 Lexus GX460 which didn’t come with this tech. Thankfully, the automotive aftermarket is flush with ingenuity. To bring my GX’s…
