Reviews SummaryThe Ford Mustang is many things to many owners. Unlike its competitors, the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, the Mustang never left the market. It has evolved and iterated. It’s been of-the-moment and decidedly retro. The 2021 Ford Mustang calls upon its past but also embraces the present, with modern technology wrapped in a hyper-stylized package. For fans of the Blue Oval, it’s the only sports car they may consider, but the Mustang’s trim lineup and list of features make is welcoming enough for any performance enthusiast looking for (relatively) affordable driving fun. For 2021, Ford has added to this lineup with a new Mach 1 trim. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen the Kia Stinger was introduced in 2017, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) sports sedan was as eye-opening as it was refreshing. Combining German-tuned performance with Kia’s award-winning design, the Stinger was a defining moment in the automaker’s steady march toward offering upscale products. The Kia Stinger receives a mild refresh for 2022 to offer more power, particularly with the base engine, and it also gets updated design flourishes and technology features. | |
