The Truth About Cars

JULY 12, 2024

After all, if we’re giving you the truth about cars, we ought to give you the truth about car accessories. Wrenching on one’s own car is a delight to some, a necessary evil to others. Extra lighting helps. It matters not if that space is covered, enclosed, or tucked in the corner of a moldering basement.

To some, Buick is a name synonymous with cars for grandparents that had little-to-no personality and left much to the imagination. It’s anticipating even stronger numbers once the Enclave lands on dealership lots (initial cars have already arrived). The power retracting cover works well to block out light. There is no knob.

Mitsubishi’s impossibly cute and cuddly “kei” car (it’s Japanese for “as small as a Tamagotchi’s testicle”), the all electric EK X, could become the cheapest EV on Australian roads if the company’s local arm succeeds in its mission to put it on sale here for “between $30,000 and $35,000”. 2024 Mitsubishi EK X is a tiny car with a tiny engine.

JANUARY 5, 2024

Reliability, when it comes to cars, has at least two meanings. Speed, handling, luxurious creature comforts – those are nice but safety, ease of use, cargo friendliness, and the ability to do some very light off-roading take priority here. One meaning involves a model’s likelihood to suffer mechanical maladies over time.

The more I review crossovers and utility vehicles, the more I evaluate them by how well they just simply work for commuting duty.

I recently reviewed the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium and my biggest critique, at least from a driving dynamics standpoint, was a lack of guts.
