We recently covered a sampling of cars with the best gas mileage, which included seven sedans and small cars that make every dollar count where fuel economy is concerned. But did you look at that list and then wonder to yourself, “Hey, why aren’t there any SUVs mentioned?” Well, you’re just in luck! If a sedan isn’t to your liking and much rather spend your money on something a little bigger and with some additional utility, then this list won’t disappoint. So let’s not delay … Read more

It’s been reassuring that the average price for a gallon of gasoline now sits at a low price of $3.18; remember when regular unleaded reached as high as $5.02 back in June? Having said that, the growing interest in a variety of hybrid cars, including electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), shows that there are still plenty of good reasons to invest in any of these fuel-efficient vehicles. Still, that’s not to say hybrids aren’t the only cars capable of saving you a lot … Read more

What makes a good SUV? For some folks, it’s the utility that counts, whether it’s the need to haul cargo across dirt roads or uneven terrain or safely ferry family members in and around the city (or out of the state). For others, it’s the thrill of the drive: exploring hilly forests or vast dunes solo or even just going fast on and off the road. There’s no right or wrong answer, but all of them still hinges on one important point: how long will … Read more

If you’ve got a fast car, you’d want to take it for a cruise and entertain yourself behind the wheel: take an exhilarating stroll through an empty race track and put it through its paces. Maybe you’d imagine yourself in a brawny Ford Mustang, an agile Porsche 911 Carrera, or even a fancy Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. And then there are the cars that take performance to the highest degree, pushing modern technology to the limits and allowing a car to hit near breakneck speeds … Read more

Though SUVs are growing in popularity owing to their impressive utility and road performance, sedans are still the popular vehicles of choice for daily driving. With the possibility that you can own a recent year model in good condition at a low price – be it a luxury sedan or a full-size family sedan – it’s a sensible choice for owning your first car or the car of your dreams at a worthwhile offer. With new cars becoming more expensive, why not look for an … Read more

Not long ago, used car prices saw an upsurge of 49 percent compared to prices back in June 2020, owing to a scarcity of newer cars for sale. With the direction of sales having turned on its head with the introduction of many new car models, used car prices are now seeing a marked reduction – a good time as any to snag a used car for a highly affordable price. It’s not often that an opportunity like this appears to everyone’s benefit. While the … Read more

For the more conscientious car buyers, getting a used car is a good way to get a decent car for your daily needs. It might not have the latest bells and whistles to make it an attractive deal, but what’s more important is getting the most of your money’s worth from what it does offer. With various models to choose from and used prices not going any lower over time, it can still make the car buying journey particularly tricky. If you’re looking for an … Read more

V-6 and V-8 engines get a lot of attention due to the sheer horsepower they bring to any car that houses either engine. That’s not to say that 4-cylinder engines aren’t good enough to meet any enthusiastic driver’s requirements; many 4-cylinder engines are just as capable of delivering strong, athletic ride qualities and horsepower that goes above the 300 mark. Popular automakers like Porsche, Alfa Romeo, and BMW are no slouches in the 4-cylinder department. Besides, having an engine like a V-6 or a V-8 … Read more

Thinking about getting a car with a V-6 for a change of pace? V-6 engines are known to be powerful but reliable, more so than the more potent but fuel-hungry V-8s that many enthusiasts love. While the V-8 attracts drivers who want more out of their car’s performance power, the V-6 can still provide significant performance gains while keeping the car’s overall handling nicely balanced. You do have to deal with a premium if you opt for a V-6-capable car, but if you’re planning to … Read more

Why are four-wheel drive vehicles so popular, really? For one, their configuration gives a vehicle greatly improved capabilities, such as better traction and grip on any terrain and more power distributed between all four wheels (hence the name). This, in turn, gives it its trademark off-roading prowess, which is why many four-wheel drive owners also praise their vehicle’s impressive performance while on an adventure. Your mileage may vary, of course, but there’s definitely a 4×4 out there that might meet your needs. Are you looking … Read more
