Car reviews

If you’re considering adding a new Lotus sports car to your garage, this is your sign to do it because the Emira doesn't just have a striking design, fantastic driving fundamentals and tremendously improved fit and finish — it's also likely to be the last gas-powered Lotus put to production.

The 2024 Nissan Versa’s top SR trim is budget-grade transportation to be sure, but it delivers a better all-around driving experience — and a higher level of standard and available features — than you might expect given its bargain-basement pricing.

We traveled to San Diego to drive hybrid-equipped Tacomas and the off-road-oriented TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims.

The refreshed 2025 Toyota Camry’s hybrid drivetrain, stylistic rework and impressive uplevel trims make it one of the best mid-size sedans you can buy.

Though it doesn’t possess the same hewn-from-granite character as its predecessor, the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser will still appeal to a wide range of brand enthusiasts.

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLS63 is super quick, super loud, super expensive — and super cool.

The Honda Ridgeline mid-size pickup truck gains a more rugged TrailSport trim level for 2024, but the truck remains chiefly a convenient on-road cargo hauler. It’s starting to feel very dated, though; it would benefit immensely from the same platform switch and upgrades that the Honda Pilot SUV recently received.

Overall, the new 500e is a comfortable, decidedly quiet, nicely damped but expensive little commuter car.

The sport-oriented 2024 Mercedes-AMG CLA35 is purpose-built for driving excitement, and it delivers on some fronts. Spirited acceleration and agile handling are highlights, but downsides include its high price, low visibility, a punishing ride and a useless backseat.

With a standard hybrid drivetrain and available all-wheel drive and second-row captain’s chairs that can slide a long way forward and back, the 2024 Toyota Sienna minivan has a number of compelling attributes for families.
