V-6 and V-8 engines get a lot of attention due to the sheer horsepower they bring to any car that houses either engine. That’s not to say that 4-cylinder engines aren’t good enough to meet any enthusiastic driver’s requirements; many 4-cylinder engines are just as capable of delivering strong, athletic ride qualities and horsepower that goes above the 300 mark. Popular automakers like Porsche, Alfa Romeo, and BMW are no slouches in the 4-cylinder department. Besides, having an engine like a V-6 or a V-8 … Read more

Thinking about getting a car with a V-6 for a change of pace? V-6 engines are known to be powerful but reliable, more so than the more potent but fuel-hungry V-8s that many enthusiasts love. While the V-8 attracts drivers who want more out of their car’s performance power, the V-6 can still provide significant performance gains while keeping the car’s overall handling nicely balanced. You do have to deal with a premium if you opt for a V-6-capable car, but if you’re planning to … Read more

Why are four-wheel drive vehicles so popular, really? For one, their configuration gives a vehicle greatly improved capabilities, such as better traction and grip on any terrain and more power distributed between all four wheels (hence the name). This, in turn, gives it its trademark off-roading prowess, which is why many four-wheel drive owners also praise their vehicle’s impressive performance while on an adventure. Your mileage may vary, of course, but there’s definitely a 4×4 out there that might meet your needs. Are you looking … Read more

Our previous article discussed some great pickup trucks that can handle themselves off the beaten … Read more

According to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2019 recorded a whopping total of 48,320,784 pickup trucks in the country. Imagine that!

Full-size trucks are great, with their immense size and ability to carry lots of cargo without a hitch. They can also be pretty roomy if you’re just carrying passengers. Still, midsize trucks remain popular for their ability to haul decent cargo loads at a much more affordable price.

Are you thinking of getting a midsize … Read more

All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles were built for traveling down roads, where the engine delivers power to all four tires simultaneously.
