Japanese cars have a reputation: reliability and value for your dollar. The remarkable thing is how different each brand and vehicle can be even when in a similar price point. Take for example the all-new 2013 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL and the 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited.

Denver isn’t necessarily a big city, but it still has the top issue of any urban environment: space. With a lack of space comes a lack of parking. That is, unless you have a car that can zip into any corner. We could be talking about the urban chic MINI or the two-seat Smart ForTwo – but this time we’re referring to the latest minicar to compete in the urban buyer’s challenge. Let us introduce to you the bright and somewhat-striking 2013 Chevrolet Sp

Jonathan McGrew — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:00:21 +0000

For the last few years there has been a tug-of-war in our consumer driven minds. Culturally, and to some extent ethically, we should be considering alternative fuels for our daily transportation.

Jonathan McGrew — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 07:00:56 +0000

What multi-car review would be complete without a sports car in the mix? My sentiments exactly! You might remember the Scion FR-S from the May 16, 2012 print article last year.

Under $30K: 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo

Jonathan McGrew — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 07:00:32 +0000

If you have seen the commercials for the Fiat 500 Abarth, you know that there is an exotic flare to the spirit of the Italian automaker. The Abarth might be more than most urban motorist really need or want with over 160-hp, turbo-power and a stiff sports suspension. However, it looks as good as your [...]

Jonathan McGrew — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 07:00:30 +0000

When the 2013 Kia Soul !, pronounced Exclaim and the top of the model range, rolled in to get its turn at a review, I couldn’t help but laugh. It isn’t the car, but the advertisements that kept running through my head. I mean, I just keep thinking, “Party ROCK!”. To add to this, the [...]
