It's official: every Fisker Ocean sold in the U.S. is being recalled. Fisker issued a recall and stop-sale of all 2023 Fisker Oceans produced through May, when Magna officially paused production, over door handles that "may stick" and prevent passengers from opening the door to enter or exit the vehicle.

Four-cylinder cars are becoming more and more popular. The days of big block engines have long since left us and even performance cars are now adopting smaller engines in order to keep up with efficiency demands. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though, with four-cylinder engines usually being notoriously reliable.

Although many drivers tend to go a little longer than they should between air pressure checkups, the best practice is to check your tire pressure at least once a month, if not once a week. If you find that your tires are looking a little low, then it's important to fill them up until they reach their optimal pressure. Not only can it help you improve your gas mileage by up to 3%, but according to Tire Rack, "if a vehicle's tires are under-inflated by only 6 psi ... the tire's tread life could be reduced by as much as 25%." Think of all the money you could potentially save by simply keeping your tires topped off!

Ford has issued a new recall the F-150 that affects 552,188 trucks built for the 2014 model year. A problem with a sensor could cause the transmission to suddenly shift into first gear, regardless of speed. A sudden downshift is never good, but at higher speeds, it could lead to a loss of control.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Mazda sold its Familia small car in the United States from the 1971 through 2003 model years, with some interesting developments right at the very end of that run. There was the Protegé MP3 for 2001-2002, the Mazdaspeed Protegé for 2003 and the Protegé5 wagon for 2002-2003. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the latter type, found in a Denver self-service boneyard recently.

Is it just me or hot hatchbacks aren't what they used to be anymore? Sure, the Honda Civic Type-R is the fastest FWD car around the Nurburgring, and the recently-unveiled Acura Integra Type-S is a grown-up hot hatch compared to the Civic Type-R, but they aren't what you would call sleek and comfortable.

Four-Cylinder, Luxury Sedans That Are Quicker Than A Modern-day Hot Hatchback

MADRID, Spain — Historically, carmakers have used windows as a selling point when there are more of them than you might expect. Volkswagen’s 23-window Bus, which was officially known as the Deluxe Microbus with Samba Package, was an upmarket trim that’s highly sought-after today, for example. On the other side of the pond, the flagship Citroën XM was available with a 13th window that kept wind out of the cabin when the hatch was open. With the 4, Polestar argues the industry has reached peak window.
