A subcompact crossover should not be this stable and still ready to give more speed while traveling 100 mph, I thought. Then I considered I should probably not be thinking about such things so intently while driving said subcompact crossover at triple-digit speeds, even if the road was close…

Mercedes’ C-Class enters its newest iteration in 2022 with new styling from nose to tail, a host of new amenities and an updated powertrain. Altogether, the C-Class is far more positioned as the compact little brother to Mercedes’ flagship S-Class, providing a similarly rich experience in a …

Testing cars is a great way to be reminded you’d prefer to be a notch or two higher socioeconomically. Having the experience to regularly drive six-figure cars for a week at a time is an experience not many get, but it also instates a bit of jealousy when can’t afford to actually put your na…

We herald sportscars and supercars for their power and performance. We celebrate light- and heavy-duty trucks for the capabilities. We champion EVs for their role in transporting us to a cleaner tomorrow. We applaud off-road specialty offerings for their ability to tame the unchartered paths.

The Kia Sorento’s bigger sibling, the Telluride, has become an SUV sensation with automotive journalists singing its praises from the mountaintops — I can include myself in that camp — and buyers have followed suit, leading to dealer shortages and notable markups.

The Hyundai Kona is a substantial player in the subcompact SUV market, delivering attractive styling, generous amenities, an agreeable price and a driving experience that isn’t the typical doldrums of the segment. Fortunately, those strong points carry over when you swap out its gas-powered …

Powered by a big and thirsty V8. Ample passenger space for the first and second row. A well-appointed but dull cabin. High ground clearance and matching step-in height. A supple ride, but only on already smooth roads. Significant towing capability. Bulky dimensions. Vague driving feel. A tra…

For years, the Mitsubishi Outlander was mired in mediocrity with an outdated appearance throughout, a low-budget cabin and an infotainment system in need of modernization. It’s main claim to fame was offering a standard third-row of seats, something only the Volkswagen Tiguan could match amo…

The Hyundai Santa Fe continues to be a strong choice in the crowded midsize SUV market, providing notable value, a posh cabin, agreeable driving characteristics, solid practicality and a bevy of sought-after features. While seating is limited to five passengers — there’s no third-row option …

Prior to the ’22 remodel, the Nissan Frontier was the tuna and Jell-O salad at a potluck — fine for those who like it, but wildly outdated. The Frontier hadn’t undergone any major revamping since the previous generation was introduced in 2005. For perspective, one of the top-grossing films o…

As a father in his 30s who recently moved to a large, HOA-covenanted neighborhood with a landscaping budget that dwarfs the annual spending of some small Georgia cities, it seemed only logical that my next step would be adopting tennis as my new hobby. Which is to say, my new pastime has bec…

The Elantra is the latest Hyundai to receive the N-Line treatment, and though some models with the moniker don nothing more than an appearance package, the Elantra N-Line gets added power, sport tuning and either a six-speed manual or dual-clutch transmission to add some zest to the already …

The Infiniti QX60 has undergone a full redesign for 2022, and like a batter who hasn’t earned a hit in his last 14 plate appearances, it was “due.”

The Mercedes GLE Class, formerly the M Class, has been around since pop radio stations were contractually obligated to play Hanson’s “MMMBop” and Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” each at least six times per hour.

There are a bevy of ways to outfit a 2022 Hyundai Sonata, but among a strong midsized sedan market, the Sonata’s value stands out in any trim. It may not be the most engaging in its class to drive or the quickest — apart from the sportier N-Line model — nor does it have the smoothest ride, b…

When a new car shows up on your driveway each week fully insured, brimmed with a full tank and the freedom to use it however you like, it’s easy to get a bit spoiled. That recently came to a head when I was set to test the 2022 BMW 230i, powered by a twin turbo four-cylinder engine, and not …

SUV and crossover sales have been surging for decades, leaving sedans in the dust, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good time to be in the market for a midsized sedan.

On paper, the Jaguar F-Type R convertible isn’t exactly the ideal car to take on an 800-mile round trip vacation. The electric-folding roof leaves just eight-cubic feet of trunk space, not great for hauling a long weekend’s worth of luggage. Passengers will also feel squeezed in the tight ca…

The Consumer Price Index jumped a staggering 8.5 percent in March, an increase not seen since an Oldsmobile was America’s top-selling car.

Not long ago, the thought of comparing a Kia to BMW, Audi or Mercedes-Benz models would be akin to equating kimchi to kartoffelknödel. But in 2018, Kia debuted the Stinger and took direct aim at its Teutonic competition with a sleek, stylish sport sedan, the German’s bread-and-butter.

Hyundai is set to introduce over 20 EVs globally by 2025, and after a week behind the wheel of the new Ioniq 5, I can only hope it’s a harbinger of things to come. 

Hyundai is banking that its “N” performance subsidiary brand will become as synonymous with sportiness as “M” is to BMW or “V” to Cadillac with performance models based on standard offerings.

We all know the associated health risks of certain activities like smoking, drinking heavily, using a toaster while bathing, etc. However, the health research community has completely ignored the medical malaise that is the daily commute from metro Atlanta into the heart of the city.
