Reviews SummaryMazda wants to move into the same premium product territory currently occupied by Acura, Buick, MINI, Volkswagen and, increasingly, Kia. To support this move, Mazda is launching a new “Feel Alive” marketing campaign, which the company says is a fan-focused effort that describes how the automaker’s cars and SUVs make you feel. I’m a Mazda owner and fan. And I can attest that Mazdas do make you “feel alive”—if that relates to having a good time while you’re behind the wheel. Does the 2018 CX-5, Mazda’s compact crossover SUV and one of its best-selling models, do that? Yes, it does. And with a few tweaks, it would be worthy of premium status. | |
Reviews SummaryEquipped with good looks, a comfortable interior, a roomy cargo area, and an affordable price, the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport easily deserves your consideration. Then, you realize how safe it is, how technologically advanced it is, how quick it is, how it is built in the good old U.S.A., and how Hyundai virtually guarantees that it won’t break anytime soon, and you start to want one. What’s that? You need a third-row seat and more cargo space? Hyundai has a solution for that. | |
