The Nissan Sentra gets a new look for 2024.

The South Korean-Market Hyundai Avante facelift could be a preview of our next Elantra.

The 2024 Impreza is a bit pricier this time around.

The Nissan Sentra’s price stays the same.

Maybe the string of Hyundai and Kia thefts will finally come to an end.

The Toyo Celsius II all-season tire will supersede the Celsius and Celsius CUV tires. As you’d expect, the new tire is designed to provide good year-round service. It departs from the norm with a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) designation, which means it’s qualified for severe snow conditions. 

Enthusiasts know the deal all too well. The number of manual transmission cars are disappearing at an alarming rate. 

For 2022, the Honda Civic came out with a redesign of the exterior and interior. The perennial favorite now sports a cleaner, less controversial design than the previous generation, with a larger wheelbase and corresponding price increase to offset the upgrade.

Owning a car is expensive, and having to fuel it with gasoline at the current, ridiculous prices, only makes matters worse.

Diminutive. Tiny. Efficient. Whatever you call them, these are the smallest new cars you can buy.

Working from home may be sweeping the nation, but many people still need to commute to and from work every day. 

For some people, all-wheel drive is a necessity when shopping for a new car.

Now along with a hatch, a sedan, and a special edition, the Corolla will be sold as a crossover as well. 

As anyone who owns a toddler knows, it is easier to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem than it is to get a small child to eat their vegetables. How many of us were told as tykes not to eat cookies before supper lest we ruin our appetite?

No, the Nissan Versa sedan is not terribly exciting.

The Honda Civic has beat every compact car we’ve compared it against so far: the Mazda3, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla. That’s an impressive feat seeing as all of those competitors are much newer than the Civic, which came out in 2015. 

The new Mazda3 is here with a new trick up its sleeve: AWD, but is that enough to make it the best in the class? We brought out the 2019 Honda Civic  to see if the new Mazda can topple the best compact on the market. The Civic has been recognized as one of the best all-around compact cars thanks to its abundance of space, excellent fuel mileage, and fun driving dynamics. How will Mazda’s new hatchback fare against the best in the biz?

The 2020  Hyundai Venue just debuted at the New York Auto Show. It will slot under the Kona in the Korean automaker’s lineup and will be the most affordable crossover it offers.

Mazdas are expected to drive with a finesse belying their mass-market price tags, to connect with motorists in a way rival vehicles simply don’t. After all, it is the zoom-zoom brand.

Volkswagen is set to reveal the Jetta GLI at the Chicago Auto Show in February and we now have photos of the car at Germany’s favorite test track, the Nurburgring.

Remember when MINI just had one MINI and it was actually pretty, well, mini?

The pickup truck market in the United States is booming. Last year, Ford sold nearly 900,000 units of its F-Series line of trucks. There are competitors from all of the major players.

General Motors’ joint venture in China, SAIC–GM-Wuling, produces a relatively popular EV called the Baojun E100.

The Ford EcoSport is simultaneously one of the first and one of the last subcompact crossovers to market.

The refreshed 2019 Toyota Yaris Sedan has debuted before the 2018 New York Auto Show. 

Mediocrity is born from being lazy and too comfortable and Hyundai is not having any of that.

It’s rare that a modern car stands out not just for what it is, but also the potential for what it could be.

The Hyundai Accent has been totally redone for the 2018 model year and this is interesting because the subcompact segment isn’t doing too hot right now — everyone is making the move to crossovers.

It’s a symptom of the universe that the slow death of small cars in the United States is heralded by perhaps the best crop of safe, efficient, and affordable compact and subcompact vehicles to have ever been available to budget-conscious buyers.

Unless you drive one or were unreasonably influenced by the first few films of the Fast and Furious franchise, the Honda Civic is a car you probably rarely ever think about.

If the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius are presented as solutions to cut greenhouse gas emissions, it may be a toss-up which one wins.

In literature, every great protagonist has its foil; a character that helps highlight some of the central figure’s finer qualities.

The 2018 Toyota C-HR will start at $22,500 when it goes on sale next month and come loaded with plenty of premium content, including adaptive cruise control.

As good as it is, it’s tough to describe the 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid as anything but ill-timed.

The Hyundai Accent may be the Korean brand’s most affordable model, but it’s definitely not a cheap beater car anymore.

The 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan has been officially rated by the EPA to get 52 mpg on the highway.

After three years on the market in California, Oregon, and Maryland, the Chevrolet Spark EV has been discontinued to make room for the Chevy Bolt EV.

The Toyota Corolla is simultaneously one of the most loved and most hated cars on the market. Millions of people buy Corollas, yet car snobs will go on and on about how much they hate it and how boring it is.

As far as treacherous winter conditions go, the drive to Detroit for the auto show each January can be about as bad as it gets.

You’d be hard-pressed to find more than a smattering of Subaru loyalists willing to describe the Impreza as stylish or fun to drive.

Twenty-sixteen is an important milestone for the humble Toyota Corolla, which is celebrating its 50th birthday. It’s hard to believe, but the first examples of this world-famous nameplate were assembled in the fall of 1966.

Not long ago, Kias were disposable cars, however, nothing could be farther from the truth today as this South Korean automaker builds some truly world-class products.

Millennials are quickly becoming the largest generation in the country.

The refreshed 2017 Nissan Versa Note has been revealed and will make its public debut next week at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show. 

Ford’s smallest utility vehicle is bound for North America, giving hope to Blue Oval fans who find an Escape too unwieldy.

After more than a decade-long absence, the Honda Civic hatchback has made its triumphant return to North American shores.

It turns out that millennials aren’t a car-hating generation and they actually do want to buy cars, just not how you might think.

In the perpetual renaissance city of Detroit, Chevrolet has introduced a car it hopes will spark a five-door renaissance in North America: the 2017 Cruze Hatchback.

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 17 years since a hatchback version of the Honda Civic was last sold in North America.

Don’t let the fancy name fool you: The 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo isn’t the sport compact you’ve been waiting for.

The redesigned Kia Rio isn’t the most flashy debut at this year’s Paris Motor Show, but it is a significant model that a lot of people will actually buy.

The Nissan Sentra has been a mainstay of the compact-car segment for 35 years and seven generations. Unfortunately, today’s model is not really one of the class leaders. 

The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze isn’t quite grown up, but it’s getting there. To test that theory we took it through a whole day of adult-ish behavior, mostly binging on our favorite things because we’re grown up enough to deal with the consequences.

The other day, we received this note from Student Driver, asking for recommendations on a good ride that’s easy on the budget for an out-of-town student, and one that isn’t lame or boring.
