New 2016 Chevy Volt delivers thanks to outstanding quality
When the “fully redesigned” phrase is trotted out by auto manufacturers, the end result is not always significant. It some cases, it’s simply a desperate attempt to improve an underperforming vehicle. Chevrolet decided it was time to totally rebadge its plug-in hybrid and the result is rather spectacular. Take a good look at the 2016 […]
Subaru Forester: Reliable compact SUV
Like any Subaru vehicle, there’s nothing flashy about the Forester, a compact crossover sport utility vehicle with a boxy exterior that’s very straight forward. The Forester is a no-frills SUV that embraces Subaru’s practical approach to auto making. People searching for a high-tech interior and more engaging on-road manners should look elsewhere. The 2016 Subaru […]
All-new Scion iA offers great gas mileage
Originally a brand that was looking to capture youth-oriented car buyers that parent company Toyota was unable to reach, Scion has drifted from the game plan of late.

All-new Honda HR-V an impressive small SUV
Honda decided several years ago that it wanted to be one of the primary players in the subcompact crossover sport utility vehicle class, so it went to work on creating a vehicle that would have mass appeal. Like most of the vehicles that it manufactures, the all-new 2016 Honda HR-V has immediately earned praise and […]
2016 Scion FR-S: Reasonably priced sports car
Back in 2002 when the game plan was unveiled, Toyota launched its Scion brand to hopefully capture a younger, hipper segment of car buyers. While the targeted millennials seemed to warm to the idea of owning these quirky styling, inexpensive vehicles, the ultra boxy xB wagon and the xA hatchback (which lasted just three years) […]
Kia Optima: 2016 model features new turbo engine
Although the Kia Optima went through a redesign this year, don’t look for a major exterior metamorphosis. The significant changes need a little investigative work to be unveiled. The Kia braintrust initiated changes in the chassis that will be appreciated for a number of reasons. The 2016 Kia Optima features a chassis that is primarily constructed […]
New redesign a major plus Hyundai Tucson
When one sees or hears the “redesigned” term, don’t automatically assume that it means tremendous strides of improvement. Often times the revamped vehicles are overhyped and not much better than the original. With that in mind, we were a little skeptical when learning that the Hyundai Tucson had been redesigned for 2016. It didn’t take long […]
