It’s been about 10 years since I last drove a MINI John Cooper Works.

About 25 years ago, a certain adult beverage company ran an ad campaign. It welcomed folks to the years of their lives where they were now mature enough to appreciate the brand’s pilsner.

“Entry-level BMW” doesn’t need to be a dirty term, and the 2023 BMW 230i Coupe is a good example as to why.

Hitting the open road; there isn’t much that matches this feeling of freedom and adventure. 

What are the best Japanese cars currently on sale?

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. 

We’re picking the best of the best: these are the 16 models that most impressed AutoGuide this year.

A few generations ago the Volkswagen Jetta took a seismic shift in direction.

Your eyes do not deceive you, American readers: the Kia Soul EV lives on, you’ve just got to head north to find one.

This is the 2023 Toyota Prius. No, really. I still can’t quite believe it either, and I spent a whole day driving the thing.

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

A lot of car companies claim their wares are for everyone. But not many come in hybrid, plug-in, and full EV form. The 2023 Kia Niro does.

The threat of fully autonomous driving is, realistically, decades away. We want to celebrate the fun of driving while we still can, but we also want to do it on a budget.

Did you know there is still a thriving Hot Hatch market in North America? 

More tech, more power, sharper looks: here’s the 2024 Subaru Impreza.

This isn’t the final North American version of the 2024 500e; we’ll see that one next LA Auto Show.

Up to 220 horsepower, 57 combined mpg—and dramatic new looks.

After the looks, the most controversial part of the 2022 Subaru WRX reveal was its automatic transmission.

Trying to determine the overall best AWD EV is nearly impossible. 

A new M2 is coming, and we here at AutoGuide.com can’t wait to get behind the wheel.

Lower, wider, and with 350 horsepower, this is one serious Jetta.

Volkswagen will have no less than nine cars in Las Vegas this week.

It’s not often the new version of a car is priced lower than its predecessor.

What we have here are two hatchbacks looking to separate themselves from their respective histories.

We should see the North American market model at some point next year.

Sometimes, it pays to be patient. That’s how we end up with this, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla.

The last one was great. The new Honda Civic Type R should be even better.

We are big fans of the latest batch of Hyundai N cars.

Honda calls this the most powerful production model it’s sold in North America—but won’t specify by how much quite yet.

It’s tough to compete in the compact segment. The balance between quality and affordability must be struck with absolute precision to create something that will draw in the widest audience.

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.

Hyundai is calling time on its first North American N car, according to a recent report.

The second-generation Honda HR-V is the nail in the coffin of the truly sub-compact crossover.

Fun, affordable, practical. It’s the car version of the Iron Triangle, but with sport compact cars, you don’t have to pick two qualities. Here, you’ve got all three.

I am a card-carrying member of the “slow car fast” club, so it takes about half a lap to fall for the Sentra Cup Car.

Toyota expands the Corolla lineup with more hybrid trims; it remains a sedan-only affair, however.

Traditional cars aren’t dead—and for some, they remain the best new car choice.

“Uniquely aspirational, yet attainable.”

Pricing kicks off at $31,895 ($36,725 CAD), or $36,895 ($44,925 CAD) if you want the manual transmission.

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

Four hundred and ninety three.

In a world of electric cars and crossover SUVs, it can feel like there’s no place left for a small sporty performance car. Toyota is laughing at that idea because the automaker has just launched an all-new Gazoo Racing model. Say hello to the first-ever GR Corolla, a 300 hp, all-wheel-drive compact hatchback.

Mercedes-Benz is one of the oldest automotive manufacturers in the world. Many credit the brand’s founders with inventing the automobile, and the brand has officially been in existence for 120 years.

Acura promises the “fun-to-drive spirit of previous Integras” with this latest model.

With a smart redesign and a big-car feel, the Honda Civic has claimed the crown of AutoGuide 2022 Car of the Year.

When it’s cold enough to form icicles on your eyelashes, or fry an omelette on your car’s hood, a little comfort is appreciated. 

European cars have a certain feeling, a certain presence, a certain driving experience, that few other vehicles can replicate. 

There aren’t many simple hot hatches left these days.

The days of the $10,000 new car are long gone. However, when you take into account the added safety and convenience features of today’s cars, they might just be better value than ever before.

In the span of just 20 years, vehicles conceived and designed by South Korean automobile manufacturers have gone from value-orientated alternatives to class leading innovators. The success trajectory of these automobiles is impressive.

Fast*, new, or affordable: pick two. Or in the case of these 10 cars, all three.

The Venn diagram showcasing the strengths of the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback looks like a Spirograph.

It’s okay to admit it: some cars are just better-looking than others.

These are the reviews you read the most this year, from trucks to sports cars.

Eight category winners will be announced early in 2022, including Utility Vehicle and Car of the Year.

Just because you’re ready to move up to a luxury brand doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate a good deal.

Just because you want a car capable of a little fun shouldn’t lock you into the two-door crowd.

Low priced cars are stuck with the stigma of being boring, snooze-mobiles. But this isn’t always the case. Just because a vehicle has a low MSRP doesn’t necessarily mean it’s no fun.

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

Aerodynamics and square shapes generally do not get along. A flat surface does not cut through the air with great efficiency.
