First impressions can make all the difference, and it is what makes them so impactful and important. Not only do first impressions practically guide us through instant decision making, but it is one of those things you don’t get a second chance at. First impressions allow us to make quick decisions on what we think[…]
The 2022 Kia Sorento gets Kia’s new badge, and a couple key trim shake ups that are sure to keep the adventurers coming back if they missed out on the 2021 model (which I reviewed earlier). But what adventurers is Kia trying to attract? Well, definitely one who is looking for a “right sized SUV”[…]
The Integra nameplate would’ve been perfect for ushering in Acura’s electric future. If you’re not familiar with the 2022 Acura Integra Prototype, read in to the news and you’ll see a sleek, retro yellow four door hatchback. This all new Integra replaces the ILX, which lived its life as a Honda Civic in a tux.[…]
“The turning radiation is not good!” I said. “No Steven, its turning RADIUS. But yes, this turning RADIUS is awful” said my grandma. Back when I was in elementary school, this RX300 that I am reviewing was my grandmothers car. I remember sitting in the back seat, feet not able to touch the floor, and[…]
Introduction It feels like it wasn’t all that long ago when I eagerly awaited my elementary schools annual spring carnival. Realistically, its been about 14 years but we’ll ignore that part! Having been to Disneyland, the rides were meh but hanging out with friends, eating way too much sugar, and playing the carnival games always[…]
Make green great again! And no, I’m not referring to green cars like Priuses or Teslas. I’m talking about the color green. For fans of green cars, like me, we drool over green. They’re a rare breed in today’s sea of epically benign silver and gray crossovers. I remember seeing a British Racing Green Aston[…]
Hi Everyone! The 2022 Kia Carnival is bringing SUV into minivans with bold and squared off style, and tons of technology and amenities. One of which is the rear seat entertainment system. In the video below, I go through this system showing features, flaws, and things you need to know about this rear seat entertainment[…]
Instead VW thought, let’s throw everything logical in the trash and give American’s cheap shit boxes that are poorly built, unreliable, and cheat emissions too. Volkswagen is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world. The people’s brand is instantly recognizable thanks to icons such as the Beetle and the Bus. Those cars are[…]
The rear seat entertainment system for the Kia Sorento and Kia Telluride is a perfect way to spoil your rear seat passengers! YouTube Video Rear Seat Entertainment User Manual Download 2021 Sorento and Telluride RSE Overview The rear seat entertainment system (RSE) option available in the 2021 and newer Kia Sorento and Kia Telluride is[…]
The 2020 Kia Telluride shouldn’t be this good. I mean, it is a typical three row, two box crossover with a naturally aspirated V6, front or all wheel drive, and a normal torque converter automatic. The preceding is basically the recipe for any crossover vehicle in this segment, which includes the Toyota Highlander, VW Atlas,[…]
In my latest video I released on Youtube, I compare two cars: a 2004 BMW M3 and a 2005 BMW 330ci ZHP. This was such a fun comparison because I was drove both my cars back to back, and was able to share insights on which car might be the better car. Hint: They’re both[…]
The 2021 Kia Sorento SX X-Line might just be the best SUV Kia has ever made, and yes that includes the highly award winning Telluride. Why is that? Read below to find out why I make this bold claim on Kia’s all new SUV. TLDR: Kia’s latest right-sized SUV is arguably better than the award[…]
As is well known, Kia (and Hyundai) have been on a roll. The Stinger was great, the Telluride even better, and the Seltos came out to positive reviews by the press. Heck, it even was a MotorTrend SUV of the Year finalist. So is it as good as it seems? TLDR: So close to greatness.[…]
Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great new year! Below, I walk you through the Rear Seat Entertainment System on the Kia Sedona and soon available on the Kia Telluride. This luxury car like option is $1500 extra, and includes two 1080p LCD screens and two wireless headphones. It’s a great system to[…]
Classic cars are the ideal garage companion for car enthusiasts. Many cars are reflective of one’s youth, and bring the driver back to a different time. Not only that, but they tend to be collectible, highly desirable, investments, and stand the test of time by not being crushed or junked. For this article, I am[…]
With Christmas rapidly approaching, many of us are figuring out what presents to give and how to stuff the stocking. This is particularly challenging when looking for items for the resident car enthusiast. Because everything we want is typically not cheap, looking for good stocking stuffers is HARD! But here are ten items I found[…]
The Kia Soul. The tiny toaster mobile brought to fame by the adorable hamsters. One of the cars that brought relevance to the Kia Motors company as it was a smashing hit. That was 2008. A lot has happened between 2008 and now. The Soul is in its third generation, the hamster’s are no longer,[…]
This year, the autocross course featured the all new M235i XDrive Gran Coupe and the M340i. While the latter is a fantastic car which I now want to buy as a result of its impressive autocross and street capabilities, the former is a car that needs some help. Recently I attended BMW’s Ultimate Driving Experience[…]
The NA1 and NA2 Acura (or Honda) NSX is just what is needed in todays ultra computerized society and automotive industry. It is so refreshing in a sea of cars that are too big and too complicated. It is the refreshingly simple and organic antidote to todays increasingly complex cars. In the cooking world, there[…]
The E46 M3 with the SMG is not *as bad* as people make it out to be. The CSL 255 flash for the SMG improves the SMG to where it actually is a reasonably enjoyable transmission. #shocker /End. Okay, so while that isn’t the actual end of this post, it pretty much sums up the[…]
For a week in September, I got the opportunity to drive a brand new (literally 600 miles when I got it) Kia K900 with its only option, the VIP Package. The $4400 option gives you rear passenger niceties like 12-14 way adjustable rear seats, and an additional 3rd zone for climate control. My car was[…]
