There’s no sugar coating the fact that electric vehicles (EVs) are costly. In many cases, they come with a heavier price tag than their traditional gas-powered counterparts.

Phone calls and emails about your car’s extended warranty are some of the most popular scams these days.

For years, drivers have assumed that size and fuel economy are an automatic compromise, as in, you can absolutely have a vehicle with impressive fuel economy, but it will be very small. And if you need something larger or taller, like an SUV, you’ll have to be quiet and accept the numbers on the gas […]
The 2024 Chevy Tahoe is not renewed, reimagined, refreshed, or redesigned. Following the Tahoe’s comprehensive 2021 overhaul, Chevy has continued this full-size SUV without any serious updates.

Midsize sedans aren’t, by nature, exciting. That’s not to say they’re boring, spartan, or in any way less capable of making the daily commute than faster, bigger, or more heavy-duty vehicles. They just aren’t typically the type of vehicles to get a driver’s heart racing, at least not without spending a great deal of money […]
There are several different ways in which you can determine whether something like an SUV is “successful.” Typically, when it comes to retail items, the number of sales determines an object’s overall success.

Every once in a while, a particular vehicle stands out from the rest of the pack. These vehicles generally have that certain something that grabs your attention and forces you to take notice.

According to Merriam-Webster.com, the definition of “legacy” is “something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past.” As the longest-selling Subaru model in the United States, one could say that the 2024 Subaru Legacy is deserving of this name.

Off-roading is one of those things that drivers either enjoy every once in awhile, obsessively adore, or passionately avoid.
