  Cars with a side of cookies, coffee, and pie! There are plenty of gearhead reviews out there that rattle off horsepower and torque and sort of sound like someone just grabbed the spec sheet and started reading. I can do that - but it's not all that interesting. I review cars for real people. People who want to know about the little things and big things that make you love or hate your car. Is it comfy? Is there a place for all your stuff? Can you climb into the third row without being a contortionist? Is the infotainment so fiddly it makes you want to take a sledgehammer to the screen? I'll tell you. This is automotive content from the lighter side. Also, I like cookies and coffee so be prepared for some of that, too. Show less
