Then there are also four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, which are similar but not quite the same. Generally, unless you live in an area with a lot of snow and ice or do a lot of off-roading, you probably don’t need four-wheel or all-wheel drive. So which is better for your next vehicle: rear-wheel or front-wheel drive?

Whether your kids are small or your teenagers are starting to drive, you want a safe car for your family.

Is buying a used truck worth it? For those who have ever owned one, the answer in all likelihood is, “Yes.” Though there may be a few disadvantages for some, a truck offers a number of benefits that a car simply does not.

When it comes to SUV vs. station wagon, it’s no secret that the station wagon has taken a back seat (pun intended) in popularity to the SUV over the past several decades.

Each model year, cars come out with new features, gadgets or cost-saving ‘smart’ technology. Strides are made in such technology as fuel economy, safety, power trains, infotainment systems, comfort, and so on. There are loads of bells and whistles. Yet, some of these new car trends can leave you scratching your head with frustration. Here are ten car trends that many wish would go the way of the dodo!

For some, whether to purchase an automatic or manual transmission may be an afterthought when looking for a car or truck. But one thing is for certain. A vehicle’s transmission plays an absolutely critical role in the inner workings of every car. A transmission houses a vehicle’s gearbox—gears that control the engine’s power.

Ask most people when the best time of year to buy a car is and most will likely respond in the last week of December.
