The Truth About Cars

MAY 30, 2023

Several schools of thought exist about buying a set of wheels for a teenager or new driver. The little Kia Soul (specifically 2013, 2017, and 2019 models thanks to survey and other scores) gets a nod, as does the stalwart Toyota Corolla from 2013 onwards.

Cars That Think

OCTOBER 26, 2021

If you don't include bathrooms and buying salty snack foods and sugary sodas and lottery tickets, your desktop can be as little as eight or ten minutes, whereas you may spend 30 or 40 minutes every 200, 250 miles in your Tesla.
