2025 Volvo EX30: Doing Minimalism Much Better
The 2025 Volvo EX30 is presented as Volvo's entry-level EV, aiming to be a more compelling option than the XC40 Recharge. The reviewer highlights... more its compact size, noting it's significantly shorter than the XC40, and questions its $50,000 price point. The "Twin Motor Performance Ultra" trim tested boasts impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds, which is competitive with higher-end EVs. The interior design is praised for its minimalist approach, executed better than Tesla's, with good material choices and a user-friendly Google-based infotainment system. However, criticisms include the confusing seat controls, the centralized placement of window and door lock switches, and the lack of physical mirror controls. Rear seat space is deemed tight for taller adults, and the overall range (253 miles EPA) and charging performance (150 kW peak) are considered adequate but not class-leading. The reviewer concludes that while the price is high, the EX30 offers strong performance and a unique design, making it a potentially great daily driver for city dwellers with access to charging, though perhaps not ideal for long road trips. less

Tesla Model X: How Does The Pigeon-Winged Minivan Fare A Decade On? [Living With]
The reviewer explores the Tesla Model X, a decade after its debut, by renting a 2017 100D model. While acknowledging the iconic Falcon Wing doors as a... morettention-grabbing, the review highlights their unreliability and impracticality in everyday situations, often failing to open fully in standard parking spaces and being prone to creaks and malfunctions. Interior quality is criticized as dated and below par for its original near-$100,000 price, with noticeable squeaks and rattles, though deemed acceptable for its current used market value of around $30,000. The expansive windshield is praised for its aesthetics but raises concerns about repair costs. The driving experience is a mixed bag: while the 100D offers brisk acceleration, the air suspension provides a ride quality more akin to a Jeep Grand Cherokee than a luxury vehicle, especially with the 22-inch wheels. Autopilot's performance is also scrutinized, with the reviewer experiencing a 7-day ban due to the new attention monitoring software, particularly when using 'Joe mode'. Despite its flaws, the Model X is recognized for its safety and decent cornering ability, and its highway cruising comfort is noted. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests the Model Y is a more practical choice for most buyers unless the unique rear doors are a significant draw. less
2023 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid: Final Hurrah of the Sedan Legend
The 2023 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid, in its 11th generation, is reviewed as a solid, well-rounded contender in the diminishing midsize sedan segment. W... morehile it may not be revolutionary, its strengths lie in its comfortable ride, quiet highway cruising, and a smooth, seamless hybrid system that achieves an impressive 45 MPG in mixed driving. The interior boasts improved technology, including a responsive 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a standard 10-inch digital gauge cluster, with appreciated physical climate and volume controls. However, the reviewer notes a lack of excitement in its driving dynamics, a CVT that can feel artificial, and a disappointing absence of heated seats on the cloth Sport trim. Rear seat amenities are also sparse, with hard plastics and no rear vents or charge ports. Despite these drawbacks, the Accord remains a reliable, comfortable, and spacious choice, particularly for road trips and daily driving, making it a recommended option for those seeking a new midsize sedan. less
My Experience Selling My BMW i3 To Carvana Ownership Wrap-Up
Andrew shares his experience owning and selling a BMW i3, a car he found to be a unique and enjoyable, albeit niche, vehicle. He highlights its polari... morezing design, carbon fiber construction, rear-wheel drive, and surprisingly good steering as key positives. The interior, featuring eco-friendly materials and a distinctive wooden dashboard, is noted for its upscale feel despite the car's current affordable price point. However, the i3's sub-100-mile range, narrow 155-section tires (which are expensive and limited in selection), and quirky feature combinations (like adaptive headlights without power seats or a backup camera on his Giga World trim) are cited as drawbacks. The author also details his experience selling the car to Carvana, which offered a surprisingly high price but involved logistical challenges due to his relocation and Carvana's service limitations in his area, requiring an inconvenient trip back to North Carolina for paperwork. Ultimately, Andrew expresses regret at selling the i3 so soon, viewing it as an excellent value proposition as a secondary car at its current market price, particularly recommending facelifted models for their improved range. less
Living With The Mustang Mach-E: Walkaround & Charging
Andrew provides a comprehensive review of his weekend with the Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium, focusing on its practicality and charging experience. Whil... moree acknowledging the controversial use of the Mustang nameplate, he praises the Mach-E's attractive interior, comfortable ride, and advanced features like BlueCruise, which he finds comparable to Tesla's Autopilot. However, the reviewer highlights significant drawbacks, particularly concerning its road-tripping capability. The charging curve is described as poor, with speeds dropping significantly after initial peaks and a slow decline after 50% charge. Real-world range falls short of EPA estimates, and the need for constant recalculations due to fluctuating range predictions makes highway travel stressful. The integrated navigation's inability to prioritize specific charging networks and the clunky climate control interface are also noted as negatives. Ultimately, while the Mach-E is deemed a pleasant daily driver and a great car overall, its limitations in charging speed and range predictability make it a less-than-ideal choice for long road trips. less
Our Thoughts On Electric Cars
This podcast episode delves into the complex feelings surrounding Electric Vehicles (EVs), with hosts Andrew, Evan, and Mike, joined by a guest from G... moreLIDashcam. While acknowledging the appeal of EVs, particularly the cost savings on charging and the smooth driving experience, the discussion highlights significant drawbacks. Key concerns include the high purchase price compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts, the sustainability debate surrounding battery production and disposal, and the unreliability and inconvenience of public charging infrastructure, especially for road trips. The hosts express a general lack of excitement for most mainstream EVs, finding them unengaging and lacking driver involvement, though they concede their practicality for daily commuting with home charging. The conversation touches upon specific models like the VW ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Polestar 2, and Tesla, ultimately concluding that while EVs are improving, they still face substantial hurdles for widespread adoption, particularly for enthusiasts and those who frequently travel long distances. less
