2015 Lexus IS250 review

The 2015 Lexus IS250 AWD is a fine mid-size luxury sport sedan. Is it the best? Hardly. While it’s quiet, comfortable, and well built, it lacks any real passion. And, arguably, passion is something its competitors have in spades.

2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith review

The 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith might be the sports car of the Roller range, but it still drives exactly how you expect it should. Despite its predictability, it’s not the driving sensation that defines it; rather, it’s how you feel behind the wheel that makes it worth every penny.

2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited review

The 2014 Wrangler as an interesting beast. It charms with its old-world looks and off-road prowess. Climb inside, though, and – for the money – most buyers might be shocked by the lack of refinement and safety. That doesn’t mean, though, that as a modern-day 4x4 runabout, it’s a total loss.
