Joe Bruzek

Managing Editor Joe Bruzek’s 22 years of automotive experience doesn’t count the lifelong obsession that started as a kid admiring his dad’s 1964 Chevrolet Corvette — and continues to this day. Joe’s been an automotive journalist with Cars.com for 16 years, writing shopper-focused car reviews, news and research content. As Managing Editor, one of his favorite areas of focus is helping shoppers understand electric cars and how to determine whether going electric is right for them. In his free time, Joe maintains a love-hate relationship with his 1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that he wishes would fix itself.

 the 2017, but its sliding second row is now gone.
The 2017 Jeep Compass has 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 
 backseat and 53.6 with the backseat folded. What does that look like?

 and the hefty price tag? Find out in this video.
The 2017 Mazda CX-5 has 30.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 
 backseat and 59.6 with the backseat folded. What does that look like?
We backed up Ford's zero-to-60-mph claim for the 2018 Mustang GT 
 during our drag-strip acceleration testing. Here's how it did.
If you think the compact sedan class is full of stale, humdrum economy 
 sedans, it's time to bring you up to speed.
