I usually wouldn’t review a vehicle for a past model year, but I’m making an exception here since I didn’t get a chance to live with the Jeep Compass until the final days of 2017, and the 2018 model is basically identical.…

Months after embarking upon a jaw-droppingly scenic trip across the Pacific Northwest in the all-new Nissan Rogue Sport, I find myself revisiting the little miscreant once more with an enthusiast’s eye.…

Do you know what I have learned to love about the latest rounds of Lexus vehicles? No matter how low you go on the totem pole, they will always come packed with presence and projected reliability.…

Jumping from the rugged Chevy Colorado ZR2 into the far larger and refined Silverado 1500 Z71 Redline was a wise decision. Although both trucks are quite different from one another in a myriad of ways, a line of GM comparisons and contrasts between the two demands to be drawn.…

Truck buying trends have kicked into high gear in recent years, and as automotive enthusiasts we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From TRD Pro Tacomas and the mighty Nissan Titan, to air-ride-equipped RAM 1500 Night Editions and the carnivorous Raptor, there is a lot to like on the market nowadays.…

It’s hard to believe, but the Golf is now more than 40 years old. This is the third year on the new platform for the Golf, and Volkswagen continues to tweak and reinvent their iconic hatchback.…

The villain in the fairy tale The Three Little Pigs is the big bad wolf. And that villain doesn’t get enough credit for his plucky attitude and overall never give up attitude.…

The Germans may spell it differently, but they know how to make a station wagon. The Golf has always been my favorite Volkswagen. It’s a fun, versatile car offered in so many different varieties.…

Has there ever been a time when a little Mazda sports car hasn’t kicked ass? Sure, they may be a bit quirky, and lord knows rotary-powered platforms had their fair share of maintenance and performance faults, but dammit if they haven’t all been cool in one regard or another.…

The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is a truly impressive off-road truck. One of the most critical components to its capabilities are its Fox Racing dampers.
