Review: 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i
Technically, the X3 falls into the category of small SUV. And yet, nothing about it seems small. It delivers big performance with some big-time fun. It’s been nearly twenty years since BMW unveiled the X3, and it’s been a fan favorite since that very first day. And really, what’s not to like? It delivers good…… Continue Reading
Review: 2021 Ford Bronco
For thirty years, Ford produced a sport utility vehicle called the Bronco, built to compete with Jeep. The two companies maintained a spirited rivalry until 1996, when Ford pulled the plug.

Review: 2021 BMW 430i Convertible
As we like to say on the radio show, People are different. That’s never more true than when we choose the cars that catch our eye. Some opt for bigger and boxier, while others prefer smaller and sleeker. Then some people, I guess, like front grills that look like a beaver. Okay, so I’m kidding,…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Audi Q3 S line
The Q3 actually debuted in 2011, but not in America. For the first four years Audi kept the car in Europe, letting it mature a bit.

Review: 2020 BMW X3
Here’s something that stood out to me when I sat down to write this review of the BMW X3. You can find a starting MSRP of about $42,000. The version I drove came in at more than $82,000. I’d say you have choices. And here’s the cool thing: All of those choices will be good,…… Continue Reading
Review: 2019 Alpha Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio
We generally buy an SUV in order to accommodate our oh-so-busy lives of hauling people and stuff around. We don’t naturally think, “Hey, I want something sporty and badass. Think I’ll get an SUV.” Well, my friend, welcome to the marriage of utility and fun. It’s called the Stelvio. Or, using the name on its…… Continue Reading
