Reviews SummaryWe love the 2023 BMW M3 with the same fervor as the Jeep Wrangler and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. But unlike those two fun but singularly purposed vehicles, the 2023 M3 is can be many things at once, all wrapped up in a single package. A BMW M3 doesn’t come cheap, but it strikes us as well worth the money. | |
Reviews SummaryVerdict: The Giulia is a genuine sports sedan. It's best appreciated by people who love to drive and crave the feelings that emerge when they turn the steering wheel of a perfectly tuned car. If wine is wine and cars are just a means to an end, you won't feel anything extra from an Alfa Romeo. In fact, you'll be turned off by the Giulia’s outdated tech and cramped interior. Objectively, it's not the smartest buy in the compact luxury class. Emotionally, the Giulia is a dynamite car that hides its flaws and puts the driver first. | |
