Last updated: Sep 27, 2019 at 1:57PMPublished on: Jan 8, 2016 by John Harrington Every neighborhood has one. The guy with the monstrous SUV and a driveway covered in ice. No matter how shiny their brand new snow-blower is (they usually have a snowblower), when the white stuff starts to accumulate, they hop in their Suburban, step on the gas, and let the 4-wheel drive do the rest. The machine specifically designed to clear driveways never even gets primed — why let your hands freeze pushing that contraption around when your SUV isn’t even really stuck? We’re not necessarily condoning this kind of behavior. Letting your car pack down the snow all winter just leads to an icy driveway (something that’s both dangerous and a pain for your kids to shovel — a chore they are ultimately tasked with once they’re on a third straight snow day and driving you up the wall). That being said, having a capable winter vehicle is often more necessity than … [Read more...] about 10 Best Cars to Tackle Winter: 2016 Edition

10 Cars Fit for a King (James, That Is)
Last updated: Dec 9, 2019 at 3:45PMPublished on: Oct 24, 2014 by zwaller LeBron James recently made some big news by promoting the Kia K900, not because he was being paid, but because he’s a big fan of the car. He has since partnered with Kia to promote its luxury brand. LeBron is not a small man, but the K900 seems to be a good fit for him. But that got us thinking: Is the K900 really the best fit for LeBron? We looked at our data to determine which vehicles can best fit someone of LeBron’s stature. These cars are truly fit for a “King,” or at least a very big and/or tall individual. We looked at a number of criteria to determine how much room a car offers its passengers. We compared every model’s headroom, legroom and midsection space to determine which model from a number of classes would be best for larger people. We’ll try not to overwhelm you with numbers, but they prove that these vehicles offer the most room in their class. So here are … [Read more...] about 10 Cars Fit for a King (James, That Is)
10 Best Cars to Tackle Winter: 2014 Edition
Last updated: Sep 20, 2019 at 11:16AMPublished on: Nov 21, 2014 by zwaller The words of House Stark will tell you that preparing for winter is imperative. And assuming you’ve seen a few winters in your time, you’ll know that one of the biggest adjustments you’ll need to make is winter driving. You’ll need to add some time to your commute allowance, check your antifreeze, grab some flares and road salt, and throw on some snow tires. But if you’re looking for a new vehicle to bring to battle with winter, we have some suggestions. Cars for skiing are great, but these vehicles will do you good in the everyday winter struggle. These are some of the best vehicles to tackle most winter conditions. (We don’t know if anything can help you if you’re in Buffalo at the time this article was written, as 7 to 8 feet of snow is quite a bit.) We suggest a vehicle that can climb over snow banks and handle icy conditions without fear of losing too much … [Read more...] about 10 Best Cars to Tackle Winter: 2014 Edition
10 Super Cars for Super Skiers
Last updated: Dec 9, 2019 at 4:05PMPublished on: Nov 14, 2014 by zwaller The snow is starting to fall in the mountains, so it may be time for you skiers and snowboarders to start making arrangements to get out to the resorts. Perfect ski conditions do not make for perfect driving conditions, unfortunately, so it’s important to drive up to the mountains in a capable car. We all know that one person who’s been stuck in the snow, driving a front-wheel-drive Honda Fit up a snowy hill backward in a futile attempt to get more traction. Don’t be that person. Bring an appropriately equipped vehicle to the mountains with you. Nothing spoils a ski trip like not making it to the mountain. Now when we say say appropriately equipped vehicles, we of course mean all-wheel (or 4-wheel) drive. But, that’s not the only thing that will help you on winter roads. Winter tires, good heating and a roof rack are all equally important for your skiing needs. We hope this list will … [Read more...] about 10 Super Cars for Super Skiers
