2012 Mazda CX-5 Review: The Mazda CX-5 is an attractive vehicle that offers better than average gas mileage, a pleasant ride, above average handling and a stylish interior. The CX-5 feels solid and well built, with a quiet and luxurious interior. That’s helped by perforated tan leather seating and soft-touch black textured trim on the dash and doors. A black gloss trim strip accents the dash while the remaining interior …

2012 Honda CR-V Review: Honda got quite comfortable when its CR-V became the largest-selling sport-utility vehicle in the industry in 2007 and held that position until 2011. Only production losses caused by the tragic earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan dropped the CR-V behind the Ford Escape as the top-selling SUV, but just over a year later, Honda is back up to speed and projecting the new fourth generation CR-V …

2013 Ford Flex and 2013 Ford Taurus Review: The completely redone Ford Fusion won’t reach showrooms until late summer, but its flashy restyling has been the talk of the auto show circuit. In fact, it may be the reason Ford created an all-new Taurus ahead of its time. The 2013 Taurus is a car for all reasons for those who need, or want, a large car. And it also is …

2012 Honda CR-V Review: The restyled 2012 Honda CR-V is a solid compact sport-utility vehicle. The 2012 CR-V adds a bit more horsepower (5 to be exact) and adds 1.5 cubic feet of cargo space while its length and height shrink a bit. Pricing has continued to inch higher. The base LX model with two-wheel drive now starts at $22,295 and there’s a hefty $810 delivery fee to get it …

2013 Mazda CX-5 Review: Mazda has established a reputation for building vehicles that range from unusual to mainstream, with all of them sharing a heritage of being enjoyable to drive. With its new CX-5, Mazda may have outdone even its own standards — and the analogy of hitting a home run is noteworthy when nearly all competitors are settling for doubles and triples. The CX-5 meets the demands of consumers …

2012 Toyota Camry Review: Toyota’s Camry is a stellar execution of style, substance, value and reliability. However, style only came to the table last year when Toyota broke its Camry mold with a new, more stylish body after years of ho-hum sameness. It’s hard to blame Toyota for sinking into a styling funk on North America’s bestselling car for roughly a decade. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But …

2012 Mazda CX-9 Review: Mazda’s stylish CX-9 may be the best looking crossover on the market, plus it’s roomy, quiet and drives well, not something all crossovers can boast. The Grand Touring AWD version starts at $34,785 and the test vehicle hit $40,850, including the $795 delivery fee and some pricey options. For that amount, you get about everything except a power tilt/telescope steering wheel and a sunroof. Both should …

Nissan’s 2012 Versa 1.6 SV Sedan is simple. That can cut both ways. A simple car is good when it means inexpensive, useful, good gas mileage, good interior and trunk room. Simple may not be quite as positive a trait when it means lackluster acceleration, hard seats and vague steering. Versa is truly an entry-level compact sedan. The base 1.6 S model with manual transmission is among the lowest priced …
