In the automotive world, a spark of insanity can sometimes be a good thing. It’s what brought about six-wheeled Mercedes G-Wagons and Jeep Wranglers. It’s what inspired one man to take a Mini Cooper pickup truck and put a twin-turbo V8 in the bed. And it’s why some people off-road tiny Japanese pickups. Now, that …

One of the top things consumers consider when shopping for a new or used vehicle is safety. Safety features and regulations have changed significantly over the years and continue to do so with each new model year. And while you’d think that more safety features and higher technology surrounding them would be an obvious improvement, …

The Honda Civic is a popular car on both the new and used market. It’s available in five different trims and three body styles to suit each driver’s needs. The Civic is a favorite among both consumers and critics. In fact, it even won Motor Trend’s pick as the Best Compact Sedan of 2019. The …

It’s not only celebrities that are going electric. Classic trucks and SUVs are now being converted to electric drive, keeping classic utility without problematic powertrains. Swapping the engine out for an electric motor also makes affordable importable off-road SUVs easier to live with—fewer obscure parts to break. But SUVs aren’t the only off-roaders. Both Lancia …

The Honda Civic is one of the most popular vehicles in the Honda Motor Company line. More than 300,000 of these automobiles are sold in the United States each year. There are four body styles offered and two high-performance forms. The Honda Civic is best known for its fuel efficiency, making it a solid choice …

When people list off their favorite cars, you hear about the big hauling pickups, the large SUVs or even the off-road thrill-seeking roadsters. They might list speed as the No. 1 feature of the vehicle they’re looking to buy or wish they had. The one car you rarely hear about, though, is the Toyota Corolla. …

Every year, vehicles of all types get into some sort of fender bender. Whether your car gets a small dent in the body or one side gets crushed, it’s still a scary and frustrating thing to experience. Have you ever wondered, though, whether there’s been a specific type of vehicle that’s more prone than others to get …

In contrast to some other celebrity car owners, Fast & Furious star and rapper Ludacris keeps his collection relatively humble. One of his most well-known vehicles is a 1993 Acura Legend that he’s described as a “dream car.” He still dailies it, and it even shows up on an album cover. But that Legend may …

Racing doesn’t just improve vehicles; it also helps automakers start fanbases. Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, and Audi made names for themselves on the rally circuit. And often the technology being flung about on gravel tracks or through desert sands ended up on sale in the showroom. The Audi Ur-Quattro, in particular, helped usher in the modern …

It’s wintertime, the weather’s cold, and it just snowed a few inches. When you’re in a hurry and just want to get going, scraping your windows or clearing snow off your car is the last thing you want to worry about. So, you might do what many others have and just scrape a spot large …

If you had to list the most reliable sedans of all time, one car that might come to mind is the Honda Civic. This model has dominated since its introduction in 1973. It was one of the first to be fun to drive and was unique in design. The other perk – it was amazing …

Mark Harmon is an Emmy-nominated actor who rose to fame in the ’80s on the TV show St. Elsewhere. He now plays Special Agent Leroy Gibbs on NCIS, a popular police drama on CBS. The show is currently in its 17th season. Perhaps it’s only fitting that Harmon drives a former police vehicle in real …

SUVs are enormously popular. Although the passenger car isn’t quite dead yet, SUVs have overtaken cars in the used market. And of the top 5 least-depreciating vehicles in the US, 3 are SUVs. But SUVs aren’t perfect. And they’re not always the best vehicle for the job. For one, minivans are actually driven more than …

When your vehicle has received fewer redesigns than the Toyota 4Runner, you know it’s getting old. And yet, the Dodge Challenger is still remarkably popular. While the Ford Mustang may be ranked as higher on the used-car market, and Chevrolet’s updated the Camaro regularly, the Challenger actually beat out the Camaro in 2019 sales. In …

Today, it’s hard to find an SUV that doesn’t at least offer AWD. Although AWD isn’t invincible—especially in winter, when you should invest in good snow tires—it does help improve an SUV’s traction and acceleration. That matters for performance and luxury SUVs, especially ones made by Audi. It wasn’t an SUV, truck, or crossover that …

The Hyundai Elantra is one of the company's most popular cars. That said, it's good to know what to expect once this car gets a little older.

It feels like the Honda Civic has been around forever, and yet it still continues to be a consumer favorite. In August, it broke its all-time record for sales in a single month. The Civic also holds the title of being the most stolen sedan, especially if it’s from 2017. The current Civic has many …

Shopping for a used car makes a lot of sense in this day and age. You’ll save money on car insurance, registration, and taxes, and you won’t have to worry about depreciation, which is the loss in a car’s value over time. It also makes sense because cars are more reliable than ever; many have …

Despite being an extremely popular family car, the Ford Fusion has its share of complaints. One model year particular had a ton of issues.

Exclusivity is a powerful coin. To know that you’re one of only a select few to have access to something. Sometimes exclusivity is deliberate—Lamborghini doesn’t want too many people driving Urus SUVs, after all. Other times, the combination of materials, design, and customization drive prices up so high, few can afford them. Such is the …
