My dad had several Miatas back in the day and he clocked in at 6'-2" and 250 lbs.  He fit ok but it was comical seeing him and my 6'-5" tall brother riding around.  There was no way my brother could find a comfortable driving position and even in the passenger seat, his knees were nearly under his chin and the top had…

The Audi was bad, especially for a modern product with some Google features. But nothing tops the Merc MBUX from my wife’s old C Class for crappiness. When we used to drive it to NYC for weekend trips, the nav would take us to a graveyard in Staten Island instead of downtown NYC.

I’ll check it out.  I haven’t read much about the Ioniq 5 N other than that it is a huge surprise performance car but maybe it’s time I try one out for myself.  Can it handle the stress and heat from repeated hot laps?

Oh hey there, sexy headlights. I didn’t know you were in there. Excuse me for a second while I go clean up in the bathroom.

I talk to my car even when it’s not listening. I have my phone set up as a smart key so the car unlocks and the lights flicker on every time I walk by. If I’m not planning on using the car, I tell it “not now” and when the insane acceleration is unleashed to get me out of a sticky situation, I always tell it “good…

The only ones I have confidence in at the track are Porsches since the Taycan was developed for weekend track use. I will admit I have very little experience with and information about the Rimac other than Richard Hammond almost died in one a few years ago. Every time I read about a Tesla on the track, the only ones…

The Rimac and the Turbo GT are the only two I would mess with.  The lucid is probably fine but any of the Teslas will go into limp mode after a few hard laps.

My iX is the first car with voice control that actually works well.  My wife had a 2013 C250 coupe and the voice control was terrible and completely unusable.  The voice control in my 2014 X5 is ok and somehow much better than the terrible system in the 2021 A7 that I got rid of to get the iX.

The stonecutters have failed Steve and they have failed us all by not perpetuating his stardom.

Sure, going fast in a straight line is fun for a bit but there are only three of these cars I would actually want to drive spiritedly and/or on the track. Guess which ones...

I love hearing feedback from other great models with the N57 under the hood! My X5 has a 22 gallon fuel tank capacity so I love filling it up on road trips and seeing 700+ miles of range!

This looks like they took the “modern” interior option from a high-end RV and applied it to a tract home.  And by “modern,” I mean the tacky shit they were installing in upper-middle class suburbs 25 years ago.

When I was in grade school, the Dodge Motor Coach near my dad’s barbershop had one sitting next to a brand new Diablo. My dad took me there one time after a haircut and the dealer gave me posters of both cars which then remained on my walls through college.

The amount of energy required to “unzip gravity” would be immense and to fit in a drone-sized object, would have to be the most energy-dense substance in the universe.

My 11 year old X5 diesel with 150K miles still gets 32-35 mpg on the highway, mid-to-high 20's in mixed driving, and has plenty of power and torque for safe passing and maneuvering. It costs me less than a grand per year to keep on the road and is only worth around $12K so I have every intention to keep it as my…

I agree 100% as someone with three Bimmers sitting in the garage. When I was younger, I lusted after M3s, Z3Ms, and other sports cars and coupes only to find out later on in life that cars like the M5 and x5 are much better driver’s cars than all out sports cars.

It makes much more sense to lease an EV for $200-$300 per month than buying a pre-owned EV. There are lots of great deals on non-luxury EVs right now. While they may not be class-leading, you can lease a Prol0gue or Arriya for under $300 per month or an Ioniq 5 or 6 for a little more.  

I had the exact same gripes when reading this. Looking at the specs, performance, and interior, which isn’t bad but very generic and basic, it will be a hard sell at over $60K or more. When you get to that price range, there are lots of great options, albeit none if you want a very large coupe that is also an EV.

It’s also hard not to discount BMW’s other goofy-looking SUV, the iX. In either 50 or M60 trim, it is extremely fast, has more interior space, much more efficient, and is weird looking in a less offensive way than the XM. The XM has an identity crisis - it’s very fast and powerful but too heavy to be worth pushing to…

My wife wanted a wrangler until she rode in one with a colleague to lunch.
