Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox. But times have changed, the manual has fallen out of favor, and hot hatches, well, while there were once nearly a dozen or more to choose from, we're now down to just three or four genuine contenders. But of those that still remain, only one gives you that combination of a shift-it-yourself gearbox and drive to all four corners: the Toyota GR Corolla.

There's Only One Manual, All-Wheel Drive Hot Hatch Left In America For 2025

The situation of the Toyota RAV4 on the market is really strange. The current generation, the fifth, has been on sale since 2019 without having undergone a mid-cycle restyling and, moreover, it is overshadowing the Corolla Cross because there is barely €1,500 difference between the two. This means that...

The fifth-generation Toyota Prius is a significant improvement over the outgoing model. Its looks alone were enough to write headlines, and sales were skyrocketing earlier this year. However, the automaker’s second-quarter sales report reveals that the hybrid had an abysmal June, with Toyota only selling 13 Priuses last month. Why so few?

In a recent Car Care Nut YouTube channel episode, the host―an established expert on Toyota repairs―goes over the 2025 Toyota Camry with a detailed look at what makes this model similar and different from the 2024 model as a reveal of whether this is an improvement or not over last year’s Camry.

While the default compact car in the USA seems to be either the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Hyundai Elantra, the Mazda 3 is for the more refined palette. While costing around the same, the Mazda 3 Hatchback exudes a more premium look and feel, backed up by Mazda's now typical zest when it comes to driving dynamics. It comes as either a sedan, which we review separately, or in the cheekier and prettier-to-look-at hatchback form.

Ford CEO, Jim Farley, made a rather controversial statement in an interview recently:. We have to start to get back in love with smaller vehicles. It's super important for our society and for EV adoption. We are just in love with these monster vehicles, and I love them too, but it's a major issue with weight.

Ford Made A Huge Mistake Killing Its Two Most Affordable Models

Facelifted less than a year ago, it would be reasonable to expect the 2025 Nissan Rogue to arrive with minimal revisions. But the Japanese automaker has surprised us by introducing a new trim called the Rock Creek edition. As the name suggests, the latest model added to the range is the most rugged yet, with chunky off-road tires, unique styling details, and standard all-wheel drive, to name a few differences.

The world is moving towards electrification and a side effect of this is that traditional gas-powered engines are downsizing. More and more four-cylinder engines are popping up, with forced induction making them just as powerful as the V-shaped engines that they’re replacing. This has, of course, caused quite a stir.

To the uninitiated, the Toyota Camry and Lexus ES are unlikely sparring partners due to their different classes. The 2025 Toyota Camry is an economical mid-sized sedan, while the Lexus ES is the premium brand's mid-sized entry-level sedan. Both are the bread and butter of their respective brand's sedan lineup, and both have made leaps and bounds in technology and style to get to where they are today.

Four-cylinder engines are becoming more and more common as we move into a new age of efficiency. Gone is the age of V-6s and V-8s, where performance was judged by engine displacement. Now forced induction, mainly through the use of turbochargers, has made four-cylinder engines king. While this is a...

Start your research here. The Subaru Forester, with its attractive price tag, should be high on your list.

Sedans are one of the best examples of Darwinism in the automobile business. The companies that still make them — mainly Toyota, Honda, Hyundai — do a fine job with them. This notion came into sharp focus for me during a recent test drive of the 2025 Toyota Camry. Once derided as the color beige manifested onto four wheels, the latest Camry has sleek, edgy styling, a nicely appointed interior and hybrid power. I spent a week with an XSE model, and I have five thoughts.

Most of us are very familiar with the work produced by ECD Automotive Design, with several Jaguar, Land Rover, and Range Rover restomods produced over the years. Now, the Florida-based specialist in restoration and modification has turned its attention to the Toyota FJ with the same level of care and customization, and the personalization options reflect this, with ECD allowing even the needle tips to be specially selected by the customer. As Toyota's equivalent to the Willys Jeep, there will undoubtedly be those who bemoan the alteration of the forebear to today's Land Cruiser, but these things are so sought after that they're rarely driven as originally intended anyhow. With this conversion by ECD, one has no excuse not to enjoy cruising in a classic.
