Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be investigated, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be exchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care.

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, antsy powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s petite. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of fine crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

Scammers Take Advantage after Cars Get Flooded in Texas Hurricane

Flood waters are still receding in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in southeastern Texas, but it’s evidently never too early for fraud. With hundreds of thousands of abandoned vehicles left in the flooded streets of Houston and beyond, unscrupulous wreckers have already “kidnapped” some vehicles, according to Insurance Council of Texas spokesman Mark Hanna. According to him, some wreckers, whom he characterizes as “a petite number of characters here,” have been pulling vehicles from the waters and then charging vehicle owners as much as $4000 to $5000 to get their cars and trucks back, adding on administrative and treating fees to jack up the price. “We’re telling people, if they do use a wrecker service, use caution whenever they’re asked to sign anything,” Hanna said.

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, anxious powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s puny. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of excellent crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

Scammers Take Advantage after Cars Get Flooded in Texas Hurricane

Flood waters are still receding in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in southeastern Texas, but it’s evidently never too early for fraud. With hundreds of thousands of abandoned vehicles left in the flooded streets of Houston and beyond, unscrupulous wreckers have already “kidnapped” some vehicles, according to Insurance Council of Texas spokesman Mark Hanna. According to him, some wreckers, whom he characterizes as “a puny number of characters here,” have been pulling vehicles from the waters and then charging vehicle owners as much as $4000 to $5000 to get their cars and trucks back, adding on administrative and treating fees to jack up the price. “We’re telling people, if they do use a wrecker service, use caution whenever they’re asked to sign anything,” Hanna said.

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was very likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be examined, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be interchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be studied, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be exchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

2018 Jaguar F-type Two.0T Driven: Less Muscle, Less Mass

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care. Then they came for the regular sedans, and the promise of turbocharging bought both our muffle and tacit assent. But now the insidious compels of downsizing have come for our sports cars, and there’s nobody left to hear our anguish. READ MORE ››

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, impatient powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s puny. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of fine crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out. Now comes a car that combines two of those GM-speak codes, ZL1 and 1LE, but the sticker price doesn’t seem to cover the sum of the parts. READ MORE ››

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out. Now comes a car that combines two of those GM-speak codes, ZL1 and 1LE, but the sticker price doesn’t seem to cover the sum of the parts. READ MORE ››

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthfull buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be studied, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be exchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

2018 Jaguar F-type Two.0T Driven: Less Muscle, Less Mass

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care. Then they came for the regular sedans, and the promise of turbocharging bought both our muffle and tacit assent. But now the insidious coerces of downsizing have come for our sports cars, and there’s nobody left to hear our ache. READ MORE ››

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, impatient powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s petite. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of good crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s petite. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback.

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out. Now comes a car that combines two of those GM-speak codes, ZL1 and 1LE, but the sticker price doesn’t seem to cover the sum of the parts. READ MORE ››

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthfull buck it once was.

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be studied, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be exchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care.

2018 Jaguar F-type Two.0T Driven: Less Muscle, Less Mass

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care. Then they came for the regular sedans, and the promise of turbocharging bought both our muffle and tacit assent.

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, impatient powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s petite. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of superb crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out.

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher.

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date.

How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here.

At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be tested, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be interchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

2018 Jaguar F-type Two.0T Driven: Less Muscle, Less Mass

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care. Then they came for the regular sedans, and the promise of turbocharging bought both our muffle and tacit assent. But now the insidious compels of downsizing have come for our sports cars, and there’s nobody left to hear our anguish. READ MORE ››

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, impatient powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s petite. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of good crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out. Now comes a car that combines two of those GM-speak codes, ZL1 and 1LE, but the sticker price doesn’t seem to cover the sum of the parts. READ MORE ››

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthfull buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was very likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be probed, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be interchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

2018 Jaguar F-type Two.0T Driven: Less Muscle, Less Mass

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care. Then they came for the regular sedans, and the promise of turbocharging bought both our muffle and tacit assent. But now the insidious compels of downsizing have come for our sports cars, and there’s nobody left to hear our agony. READ MORE ››

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, antsy powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s puny. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of good crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out. Now comes a car that combines two of those GM-speak codes, ZL1 and 1LE, but the sticker price doesn’t seem to cover the sum of the parts. READ MORE ››

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots.

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be explored, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be exchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

2018 Jaguar F-type Two.0T Driven: Less Muscle, Less Mass

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care. Then they came for the regular sedans, and the promise of turbocharging bought both our muffle and tacit assent. But now the insidious compels of downsizing have come for our sports cars, and there’s nobody left to hear our anguish. READ MORE ››

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, antsy powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s puny. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of excellent crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of good crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out. Now comes a car that combines two of those GM-speak codes, ZL1 and 1LE, but the sticker price doesn’t seem to cover the sum of the parts. READ MORE ››

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots. But, good God, had we only raced boats on the Hudson. READ MORE ››

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthful buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs, or optional air springs, both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less-sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was most likely talking about his dishwasher. At least that’s the implication from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, in which we learn that consumers are more likely to be charmed by an appliance than by a fresh car. READ MORE ››

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be explored, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be exchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

Very first they came for the compacts, and we didn’t speak out because we didn’t much care.

2018 Mazda CX-3 in Depth: Acute Treating, Few Compromises

One spirited drive behind the wheel of the CX-3 will have even the keenest driving enthusiasts singing its praises. We’ve come to expect playful driving dynamics, impatient powertrains, and driver-focused interiors from Mazda—it’s the zoom-zoom brand, after all—and this subcompact crossover doesn’t disappoint. Once its practicality is under the microscope, however, the CX-3’s shine starts to fade. It’s petite. Shoppers who prioritize cargo space and room for passengers would be better served by many of the CX-3’s rivals, or even a Mazda three hatchback. Even so, the CX-3 is on our brief list of excellent crossovers, even if it’s solely for its corner-carving expertise and its fun-loving character. READ MORE ››

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super Camaro! Camaro ZL1 1LE Tested

General Motors must have authorized overtime for its spectacle and badge-making departments over the past few years. Witness the sustained, affordable excellence of all those SS, 1LE, Z51, Z06, Z07, ZR1, ZL1, and Cadillac V-series models the corporation keeps cranking out.

Hooning the Hudson: We Take Manhattan in a 2700-HP Speedboat

On a clear Manhattan afternoon, driving the nine miles up the West Side Highway from the Chelsea Piers to the George Washington Bridge can rob fifty minutes from your life. Maybe with luck and deft lane switching, you’d manage it in forty minutes. This is one reason that, despite Michigan’s relative dearth of Jewish delis, Car and Driver editors left the Park Avenue office for good in 1978, trading clogged Fresh York parkways for underfilled Ann Arbor parking lots.

2018 Ram 1500: The Herd Rambles on for Another Year

Overview: The two thousand eighteen Ram one thousand five hundred can trace its roots to the two thousand nine model, when it was still badged as a Dodge. Despite Ram becoming its own brand along the way and this light-duty pickup undergoing a thorough refresh for the two thousand thirteen model year, the one thousand five hundred no longer feels like the youthfull buck it once was. Nevertheless, it remains the only full-size pickup to rely on standard coil springs—or optional air springs—both front and rear. Almost all other pickups sold today use a less sophisticated leaf-spring suspension for the rear axle. READ MORE ››

Can’t Get No—What? Appliances Are More Satisfying Than Cars?

When Mick Jagger sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” he could have been talking about his car, but he was very likely talking about his dishwasher.

How Long Should a Fresh Set of Tires Last?

It may be tentative, but tires do have an expiration date. There is a general consensus that most tires should be probed, if not substituted, at about six years and should be absolutely be interchanged out after ten years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are? There’s a code on the sidewall that you can read about here. Wear is a far more straightforward consideration: Tiremakers and safety advocates say a tire is worn out when its tread depth reaches Two/32 of an inch. That’s all fine, but what most car owners want to know is how long to expect a set of fresh tires to last before they need to be substituted. READ MORE ››

Nissan Turns Over a Fresh Leaf, with Greater Range, Not-As-Weird Styling, Lower Price

Would you give the Leaf—Nissan’s gawky, fully electrical five-passenger hatchback—greater consideration if it looked like a conventionally styled puny car, suggested one hundred fifty miles of range, and embarked at $30,875? That’s what Nissan is betting on with the freshly exposed two thousand eighteen Leaf, which arrives early next year at dealerships in all fifty states. By providing the Leaf a revamped design, perkier spectacle, a longer range, and more emphasis on tech, the company is hoping a lot more people will consider going electrical. READ MORE ››

2017 Lincoln Continental in Depth: A Relaxed-Fit Boulevardier with Thrones Fit for a King

Reviving a storied nameplate is a bold stir, one that the Lincoln Motor Company is betting on big league—it has even contracted the starlet of The Lincoln Lawyer himself, Matthew McConaughey, to serve as spokesman. The Continental is the fighting brand’s all-new, luxuriously appointed, handsomely styled flagship sedan. Three V-6 engines, two of which are twin-turbocharged, provide forward thrust, while the standard adaptive suspension smooths road imperfections. Inwards, occupants are treated to one of the roomiest back seats in the segment and a host of standard and available luxury features—including optional front seats that are some of the very best in the business. Where the Continental falls brief is in its inconsistent execution. Some aspects of its driving behavior are not refined, and its interior finishes range from palatial to plain. It’s a nice begin, but not fairly the entire package. READ MORE ››

Finer Nine: Mazda Makes G-Vectoring Control, Extra Safety Features Standard on two thousand eighteen CX-9

Mazda already has a winning package with its CX-9 SUV. It captured very first place in the three-row division at last year’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs, but there’s always room for improvement. For the two thousand eighteen model year, Mazda has added more features and revised the second-row seats for lighter access. But unluckily, like your rent this fall, prices are creeping up slightly as well. READ MORE ››

Lightning Lap 2017: nineteen Fresh Spectacle Cars Attack America’s Most Grueling Racetrack!

We never meant it literally. When we named our annual performance-car torment test Lightning Lap more than a decade ago, we meant it in a figurative sense. Swift like lightning, get it? That Lightning Lap is also alliterative is a source of amusement and at least a bit of embarrassment. This year, tho’, the 11th time we’ve visited America’s most requesting road course, Virginia International Raceway, we were in some danger of actually being hit by lightning of the one billion-volts multiplicity, which is not at all amusing. Still, tires needed to be demolished. Nerves needed singeing. We would not be swayed from our course. At least not until after the track dried. READ MORE ››

The Continental is the fighting brand’s all-new, luxuriously appointed, handsomely styled flagship sedan. Three V-6 engines, two of which are twin-turbocharged, provide forward thrust, while the standard adaptive suspension smooths road imperfections. Inwards, occupants are treated to one of the roomiest back seats in the segment and a host of standard and available luxury features—including optional front seats that are some of the very best in the business. Where the Continental falls brief is in its inconsistent execution. Some aspects of its driving behavior are not refined, and its interior finishes range from palatial to plain. It’s a nice begin, but not fairly the entire package. READ MORE ››

Mazda already has a winning package with its CX-9 SUV. It captured very first place in the three-row division at last year’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs, but there’s always room for improvement.

But unluckily, like your rent this fall, prices are creeping up slightly as well. READ MORE ››

Lightning Lap 2017: nineteen Fresh Spectacle Cars Attack America’s Most Grueling Racetrack!

We never meant it literally. When we named our annual performance-car torment test Lightning Lap more than a decade ago, we meant it in a figurative sense. Quick like lightning, get it? That Lightning Lap is also alliterative is a source of amusement and at least a bit of embarrassment. This year, however, the 11th time we’ve visited America’s most requesting road course, Virginia International Raceway, we were in some danger of actually being hit by lightning of the one billion-volts multiplicity, which is not at all amusing. Still, tires needed to be ruined. Nerves needed singeing. We would not be swayed from our course. At least not until after the track dried. READ MORE ››

Nissan Turns Over a Fresh Leaf, with Greater Range, Not-As-Weird Styling, Lower Price

Would you give the Leaf—Nissan’s gawky, fully electrical five-passenger hatchback—greater consideration if it looked like a conventionally styled petite car, suggested one hundred fifty miles of range, and commenced at $30,875? That’s what Nissan is betting on with the freshly exposed two thousand eighteen Leaf, which arrives early next year at dealerships in all fifty states. By providing the Leaf a revamped design, perkier spectacle, a longer range, and more emphasis on tech, the company is hoping a lot more people will consider going electrical. READ MORE ››
