Sedans

Mazda seems to be the brand for people who like a little bit of everything.

Whether you’re a new driver, commute a long distance to work, or just want something reliable that stands …

If you’re in the market for a new luxury compact sedan, you might consider the 2021 Acura ILX. The automaker is known for producing some of the most fuel-efficient luxury cars.

The 2021 Honda Civic has long ruled the compact car class. But redesigned 2021 Hyundai Elantra now presents a formidable challenge.

Learning to drive a manual car can be difficult. Those of us who still remember learning the ol’ three-pedal setup made plenty of embarrassing mistakes. Although the worst I ever did was roll back and give the car behind me a big scare or maybe spun some tires here or there, I never destroyed a …

America’s love of SUVs is probably not going away any time soon, which means that sedans, especially full-size ones like the Toyota Avalon, will continue to be ignored. And that’s a shame because any full-size sedan has all of the room you need for you, your family, and all of your stuff in addition to …

Introduced in March 1978 as a response to the 1973 oil crisis, the Mitsubishi Mirage started out as a front-wheel-drive (FWD) three-door hatchback. In September 1978, Mitsubishi released a five-door hatchback version built on a longer wheelbase. Although Mitsubishi put a lot of effort into the Mirage over the past couple of decades, it has …

I have always liked the Toyota Avalon. In fact, I used to call it my “four-wheeled guilty pleasure” because it always seemed like a car reserved for a much-older generation — a demographic that I am not yet a part of – and no one in their mid-30s would admit to secretly wanting one. Age aside, …

The Kia has been improving the Forte for years. But is the 2021 Forte ready to compete with the ever-popular Honda Civic?

The 2021 Mazda3 Turbo’s push to become an upmarket competitor is undeniable at this point. In fact, the entire brand plans to move upmarket by producing more luxurious vehicles.

Since the old school “zoom-zoom” commercials, Mazda cars have made quite a name for themselves. These days, the Mazda slogan says “driving matters,” and the company holds claim to a lineup of cars said to be fun to drive. Year after year, the MazdaBut what’s so great about Mazda cars? This isn’t a brand with …

If you’re in the market for a full-size sedan, then the 2021 Toyota Avalon is a strong choice. It’s comfortable, reliable, and economical, and when you compare it side-by-side with its Lexus cousin, the ES 350, it’s tough to even distinguish the two when it comes to their respective features sets. But what if you …

Some of the best things in life are limited edition. The fact that there is only a select number available makes owning one all the more prestigious and desirable. The Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition has taken the world by storm and seems to be more than capable of living up to the name …

The Dodge Omni was one of those cars that helped bridge Chrysler’s comeback from certain oblivion in the 1970s. It and the K-Car kept Chrysler above water. It and stablemate Plymouth Horizon were the first front-wheel-drive economy cars in the US. But honestly, they were cheap and tinny and forgettable appliances. Now you never see …

“Going viral” is the new “making it.” Everyone wants their goofy skit on whatever social platform to go viral. As car classified ads are getting more prevalent on the internet, so too are videos accompanying the sales ad. Give anything long enough, and someone will do something exceedingly clever. If you find yourself needing to …

When you’re in the market for a high-end sporty sedan, the Genesis G70 is a contender. One major feature that sets it apart from all the rest, though, is its manual transmission option. Few vehicles these days actually have it.  MotorTrend reviewed the G70 and gives their thoughts on the sedan. Does the manual gearbox …

While the full-sized Toyota Avalon is technically considered a regular sedan, as opposed to a bonafide luxury car, we can’t help but think of it as a luxury hauler. From its super-comfortable ride to its supple leather interior, the Avalon has always had us feeling Lexus-like vibes whenever we slide any of its seats. We …

The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta is a better buy for most consumers. But would you rather choose a 2021 Subaru Impreza based on this one factor?

The Dodge Charger is one of the most iconic vehicles on the market. These luxurious vehicles are pretty fast, but owners are finding out that not all model years are the same. Some, like the 2015 Dodge Charger, is a letdown.  Consumer Reports reviewed the 2015 model a few years ago, and the result was …

Manual transmissions used to be popular. Just a few short years ago, it was shameful to admit you had no idea how to drive a stick. That’s changed, and now most people shrug and don’t see the big deal. But some still love driving a stick shift, and they’re frustrated that the Dodge Charger no …

When it comes to luxury vehicles, one of the newest models in the segment is made by Hyundai. Genesis G70, G80, and G90 sedans have been around for a few years, but they’ve made little splash in the market.  Road & Track recently reviewed the 2021 G80. And it’s not only impressive but also an …
