2025 Subaru BRZ tS Review
Subaru is selling a two-wheel drive vehicle again. It’s the same name as before, the BRZ, only this is much improved. Years ago at a Subaru launch, the company said it would not sell the BRZ sportster here because it didn’t conform to its AWD ethos. Well, it did briefly, 12 units sold in 2012. But it couldn’t match the pricing of Toyota’s largely identical GR86. Back then the Toyota was $56,990 but now the least expensive variant is $59,990, a six-speed auto.

2024 Ford Mach-E GT Long Term Report
The time with our Mustang Mach-E GT has come to an end, the blue bolter now back in its Ford stable. The GT is the performance model of the Mach-E range, the twin motor set-up able to disperse up to 358kW and 860Nm of torque. Not that you deploy all of it all that often. We rarely used the ‘Untame’ mode, only to show electric car naysayers what this nag can do. The fact the GT sinks back on is haunches and allows the front wheels to chirp when giving it the whip adds to the drama of that torque hit. ...
