It is pretty fun, yeah. I’d say it’s quicker than a Golf but not as athletic as a GTI, and a decent handler since all the weight’s in the floor. Minimal torque steer under hard acceleration. It’s not a sports car or a hot hatch, but it’s not a golf cart either.  Read more

A/C’s great. I haven’t found it to bleed away the range. It’s too hot here not to use it anyway.  Read more

They are similar. I think it’s fair to say they’re about as quick as one another, and I remember the last i3 I drove being a slightly better handler. But the Bolt’s superior range would make the difference for me. Read more

I haven’t driven the new Leaf yet, but I want to. And I have never been impressed with the i3's range, even with the little gas motor. Very much the opposite. I’d take a Bolt over an i3.  Read more

In order: Yes, sure (plenty of room really), very quiet, and I think I’d take the Bolt? Going full EV is increasingly appealing to me. Maybe not as my only car, but this makes a compelling package for a daily. Read more

I’d swap in Recaros if I owned this bad boy and would regret nothing Read more

It was an early morning drive and I was trying to catch up on the news! Read more

Newman and Garner were cooler movie star car guys in my book. Just sayin’. Read more

I almost photoshopped a green Beetle into a bunch of these pics. Read more

Indeed. Cars are more expensive than ever. For some context the average new car price is around $34,000 these days. (A base Mustang GT starts at $35,355 without any decent options, but good luck finding one.) But as you note, it could be argued buyers are getting more than ever before—more power, more safety, more Read more

I’m a shit photographer. The car did most of the heavy lifting here. It’s hard to make that color look bad in any setting.  Read more

The GMG office is in Manhattan. Tesla’s store is in Red Hook, Brooklyn, so we met them out there. Most of us live in Brooklyn or Queens and commute to work. Read more

And NYC is the best place for several things, including finance and fashion. Just not car testing. Read more

Yeah, it’s everyone. CNET, MT, R&T all had fairly limited tests so far.  Read more

Indeed, and the chances we can get Andrew Collins a longer M3Perf test in California where he lives are high, I’d say. Read more
