The five-passenger Sport sits on the same 106.3-inch wheelbase as the outgoing 2012 Santa Fe. At 184.6 inches in length, it’s 6.5 inches longer than the 2013 Ford Escape (on a wheelbase that’s only fractionally longer), and roughly as long and wide as compact SUVs such as the Ford Edge and Chevrolet Equinox, with comparable …
The Z06 is a rocket on the expressway. Merging in third gear is a breeze, and the power and sound are exhilarating. The V8 rumbling at idle is magic enough, and that only intensifies during acceleration. This car is rock solid — and the driver feels every bump and road bruise. That’s to be expected, …
The WRX is down 40 hp from its big brother, but in between 3,000 rpm and 5,000 rpm you’ll hardly notice. It makes the same sounds as the STI and rips off the line with the same aplomb. Unfortunately, fuel mileage didn’t seem to improve; my two fill ups averaged about 19 mpg. I did …
Either way you take your C-class coupe, it’s a pleasant driver — though I suspect some might find the suspension a shade high strung. Steering is moderately weighted, brakes are strong and body motion is well controlled. There’s nothing awe-inspiring here, but nothing that’s going to surprise a driver in a bad …

The devil, again, is in the details: The interior materials overall are exceptional but the car smells inexpensive. Crazy, perhaps, but when I get in the Genesis, I see Mercedes-Benz and smell 1987 Excel. It matters. Similarly, a couple of random touchpoints reveal cost-cutting. The panel holding the electric steering-wheel adjuster is made of …
The powertrain here is nothing to write home about, but it’s perfectly adequate. The six-speed manual lets you eke out everything you can from the 1.6-liter four-banger. The gearshift does not give you any sense of mechanical greatness, but it works just fine. That pretty much sums up the Hyundai Accent. It’s nothing really to …

The United Arab Emirates lies directly within the Arabian desert. However, Dubai, which is located on the Persian Gulf coast of the UAE has much of its landscape is highlighted by sandy desert, because the desert has much of the southern parts of the country. For that reason, the climate of Dubai is a tropical …
Driving in Dubai can never be an easy task. Your driving style needs to cope with the conditions of the weather and the road, and on top of all, you need to cope with some irresponsible drivers and their reckless behavior. These are some of the unacceptable behaviors that you may encounter while behind the …
