Not long ago, drivers had to choose between everyday luxury and supercar-level thrills. These days, many cars offer both—a smooth, comfortable ride for daily driving and spirited fun on twisty weekend roads.

Nothing kills a road trip faster than a surprise breakdown. Wide-open roads, ever-changing scenery, and good company are supposed to be the highlights—not sitting on the side of the highway waiting for a tow.

Heading into 2026, new-car prices are high enough to make many buyers think twice. While used cars may seem like the safer bet, there are still some surprisingly affordable new options out there.

If you’re buying a new car and plan to keep it for a while, reliability is probably high on your checklist. That’s especially true in the midsize sedan space, where buyers expect low running costs, solid efficiency, and minimal maintenance headaches.

Jaguar isn’t exactly pumping out cars these days, but the brand still knows how to make headlines. The all-electric Type 00 concept teases where Jaguar wants to go with styling and tech, and yes, it’s divisive.

Luxury sedans have a way of making even a grocery run feel like an event, with hushed cabins, indulgent touches, and tech that quietly does its thing in the background. In 2025, two names still dominate that conversation: the Lexus LS and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

It’s easy to forget that Nissan was an early trailblazer in both EVs and advanced driver-assist systems. The original Leaf hit the market in 2011 as one of the first affordable, mass-produced electric cars, and ProPilot Assist arrived in 2016 as one of the earliest widely available auto-steering systems.

Winter isn’t exactly prime time for roadster fun—you’ll spend more time bundling up than enjoying the breeze. But that’s also when smart buyers can score a deal, since prices drop when demand cools.

Spend a few minutes with the Genesis G80, and you start thinking about it differently. Suddenly, you’re not comparing it to other midsize sedans—you’re sizing it up against the luxury heavyweights with crazy MSRPs and dealer markups that make your eyes water.

As governments keep rethinking their rules around vehicle emissions, buyers are rethinking what they want to drive.

When it comes to variety on the road, few options rival sedans and SUVs. Almost every brand makes an SUV of some size, and sedans—from budget-friendly to luxury—still dominate the market.

Picking between the 2025 Kia K4 and K5 can feel like choosing between siblings—same family, but very different personalities.

If you're tempted by a Lexus NX but keep wondering if there's something roomier, cheaper, and still just as relaxing, the Toyota Crown Signia is the twist you probably didn’t see coming. It delivers an easygoing kind of luxury that feels more “effortlessly cool” than “trying too hard.”
