The Car Connection

The Car Connection


Hyundai Azera

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:51 AM PST

The Hyundai Azera is a large four-door sedan that focuses on comfort and amenities, straddling the top of the mainstream car market and the price-conscious end of the luxury class. The Azera is related to the Hyundai Sonata in the way Toyota's Avalon is paired with its Camry: it's essentially a longer, more plush and stylish alternative that...

Hyundai Santa Fe

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:49 AM PST

The Hyundai Santa Fe badge is now affixed to two mainstream, family-oriented crossover offerings from the South Korean automaker. The original two-row, five-seat Santa Fe is now known as Santa Fe Sport, while the recently added long-wheelbase version boasts seven seats and is called simply Santa Fe. The two vehicles are built on substantially...

Hyundai Tucson

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:45 AM PST

As a crossover utility vehicle that performs (and looks) more like a tall hatchback, the Hyundai Tucson lands at the small end of the compact class. Competitors include top-sellers like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and Subaru Forester. At present, the Tucson is powered by a lineup of fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines, as well as an...

Nissan Altima

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:34 AM PST

The Altima is Nissan's four-door, mid-size family sedan. It is now one of the best-selling vehicles in its segment--one that includes the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, not to mention the Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata. While the model was previously available as a coupe, today's Altima is sold as a four-door only. Over the two decades it's been...

Nissan Versa

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:28 AM PST

The Nissan Versa is one of the most spacious subcompact cars on the market, with both the four-door sedan and the five-door Note hatchback model offering abundant interior volume. There's enough room in the back to comfortably fit two normal-sized adults, which is something that can't be said for most of its competition. The Versa is also one of...

Nissan Pathfinder

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:21 AM PST

The Pathfinder has been Nissan's mid-size utility vehicle since the 1980s. It's changed pretty radically over the decades, reincarnating itself from rugged SUV roots into a polished crossover vehicle capable of seating up to eight passengers, with several steps in between. Once one of the toughest SUVs around, the Pathfinder is now more of a very...

DEA Is Spying On Millions Of U.S. Drivers With License Plate Readers

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:19 AM PST

Technology does awesome things. It lets us communicate with loved ones, no matter where they are on the planet. It lets us collaborate with colleagues and entrepreneurs thousands of miles away. And of course, it lets us lounge on the sofa in our threadbare, monogrammed Snuggies and order brand-new monogrammed Snuggies. Technology also lets people...

Nissan Murano

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:14 AM PST

The Nissan Murano is a five-seat, mid-size crossover SUV. A companion to the bigger, seven-seat Pathfinder, the Murano is a car-based ute that's meant for on-road driving and all-weather traction, through standard front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive.

Chrysler 300

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:08 AM PST

The Chrysler 300 is a mid- to full-size sedan that sits at the top of the American automaker's range. The 300 comes standard with a six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, but can be configured with all-wheel drive and a powerful V-8 engine. Because of its drivetrain layout and engine options, as well as old-school big-car styling, the 300 has...

Chrysler 200

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:03 AM PST

The Chrysler 200 is the American automaker's latest offering in the mid-size class. The 200 is poised to go up against vehicles such as the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, and Ford Fusion, not to mention the Subaru Legacy, Nissan Altima, Chevy Malibu and Mazda 6. The four-door, family-sedan class is one of the most competitive in the...

GMC Terrain

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 08:00 AM PST

The GMC Terrain is a five-passenger crossover straddling the compact and mid-size segments--but compared to the big Acadia crossover and GMC's large Yukon SUV, it's the most carlike of the bunch. The Terrain shares its underpinnings with the Chevy Equinox, with the two differentiated by interior and exterior styling and trim. Its size makes the...

Land Rover Range Rover

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 07:53 AM PST

The Land Rover Range Rover is arguably the pioneering model of the luxury SUV. It's equally capable driving for miles where no road exists and chauffeuring heads of state in up-armored class. While the current model is still plenty capable in the tough stuff, most Range Rovers today are purchased for their size and presence. Most owners would say...

Honda Civic Vs. Mazda 3: Compare Cars

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 07:51 AM PST

For decades, Honda and Mazda have excelled not just at making good, fuel-efficient subcompact sedans (and hatchbacks), but also those that are nimble and fun to drive, with more personality than a lot of the other driving appliances out there at their price. With the latest Mazda 3, this is true, more than ever; and with its latest Civic, Honda...
