The Audi A4 Can Thank Its Cabin for Continued Success

The 2014 Audi A4 is a delight of a vehicle, but let’s admit it: this car owes its success to what’s on the inside, not on the outside, and especially not to its lacklustre engine.

The 2014 Audi A4 has modest exterior design and an okay engine, yet it still manages to maintain popularity year after year. So, what makes this vehicle a hit amongst luxury car buyers? Well, we believe that it has a lot to do with the experience, look and feel of the cabin. The interior of the A4 will put any doubt of exterior flash or pony power to rest. Read More

New Acura RDX Isn’t as Luxurious as It Pretends to Be

New Acura RDX Already Feels Old

The 2014 Acura RDX is a decent vehicle, but its price is simply too high for the amount of luxury it has to offer – which is very little.

The 2014 Acura RDX belongs to the small luxury SUV segment, and while it has nailed the small-SUV part, the luxury aspect is more debatable. Overall, the RDX is actually a pretty decent car as far as family crossovers go – it’s comfortable, spacious and has ample safety features. It’s the little things that feel off here, which leave the RDX in the dust of its stiff competition. Read More

2014 Toyota Sienna: The Swagger Wagon?

2014 Toyota Sienna: The Swagger Wagon?

The 2014 Toyota Sienna makes it easy and safe to transport precious cargo with well-equipped interiors, exclusive seating and safety features, and the best engine in its segment.

As ploy to try and increase the cool factor of its minivan, Toyota branded its Sienna as the “Swagger Wagon.” In 2010, Toyota released not only the redesigned third-generation of the Sienna, but also a “hip-hop” music video to accompany it highlighting how cool it is to be a parent — and to drive a minivan.

Still in its third generation, how well does the Sienna really hold up to its Swagger Wagon name? There are five trim levels available in this minivan and in order to breach cool territory, buyers will need to abandon lower model consideration and head straight for the SE, XLE or Limited trims.

Why Toyota Camry Hybrid Is Every Bit As Good As Prius

Posted by Taras Trofimov | 2014, Reviews | No Comments

The 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid is exactly what you’d expect from a hybrid car in this price range – it’s reliable, nimble and fuel-efficient. It’s basically a Prius in sedan form.

Hybrid cars may not be perfect, but they are definitely a step in the right direction as far as fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness go. Yes, there are issues with them – and we have pointed them out in an earlier article – but there is still a good reason to respect them. They are the proof that green cars can be profitable, which is a good thing for everyone. Read More

There’s No Better Car to Calm Your Nerves than the 2014 Honda Odyssey

Posted by Andrew Tai | 2014, Reviews | No Comments

Minivans aren’t the most popular vehicles out there – since they’re often associated with baby diapers and early parenthood. However, it’s hard to deny the fact that they’re useful, and the 2014 Honda Odyssey is one of the most useful minivans on the market. So, if you have a newborn or a small family and you happen to live in the suburbs, then you should definitely take this car for a spin.

Right off the bat: this car isn’t the prettiest thing around – because minivans are unattractive in general. However, it does have its moments every here and there, featuring a typical Honda front and a finely sculpted profile, which allows this minivan to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, its backside is rather unremarkable, but who looks at that anyway? Read More

2014 Mazda 6: Your Escape from Adulthood

Posted by Unhaggle | 2014, Reviews | No Comments

Whether you’re flinging it around a track, or bumper battling your way to work the new Mazda 6 has what you need. I can’t help but smile at the person who has bought a new Mazda 6 and fought to banish beige and blandness from a segment that sees nothing but. While the competitors are focused on miles per gallon, the Mazda 6 focuses on smiles per gallon, and gets quite a few miles in there as well coming in at 30-35 mpg in real world driving. When buying a new car it used to be a tough decision between the Ford Fusion and the family vacation to Mexico. Now it’s no battle… Just a Mazda 6. Read More

2014 Honda Civic: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Posted by Unhaggle | 2014, Reviews | No Comments

2014-Honda-Civic-Si-Sedan-Spy-Shots It recently came to my attention that Honda released a 2014 Civic at this year’s SEMA auto show. My reply to this was “They are still making the Civic?” A silly response for a car enthusiast, but there is good reason for my surprise. Quite simply, the Civic hasn’t changed in the past 10 years. I will see a 2013 and have no idea what year it is because Honda never bothered with the whole idea of really giving it’s Civic a full blown makeover. But hold on to your hats, this year could be different because Honda announced that the new Civic would have a panty peeling 4 more horsepower. Read More
