Wheel warming has gone mainstream, with the feature standard or optional not just on luxury vehicles, but on an increasing number of models with sticker prices of $40,000 or less.

Of 30 vehicles subject to the new test in the agency’s latest front crash evaluation, 22 rated good or acceptable.

Mazda is taking orders for the 2025 MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary now. Including the $1,185 destination fee, it is priced at $37,435.

An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata stands out for its emphasis on connecting drivers with both the act of driving and the world around them.

With standard all-wheel drive and an optional turbocharged engine, the Mazda CX-5 enters the 2025 model year with minimal updates.

After its last round of testing for the year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has awarded 19 vehicles Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ status.

For the first time ever, Subaru gets the crown of most dependable brand for Consumer Reports’ annual Auto Reliability Survey.

Most of the Miata line is unchanged for 2025, although a 35th Anniversary edition will wear exclusive Artisan Red paint and a tan Nappa leather interior.

Like other Mazda CX-50s, the hybrid version is a sharp-handling, good-looking compact SUV — but the new hybrid powertrain thoroughly ruins the fun in favor of efficiency.
