When it comes to crafting engaging, driver-focused vehicles, Mazda has always been a strong contender. As many of you know, I was a Mazda CX-5 owner for many years and can personally attest to how solid and trouble-free these cars are. In fact, when my little bro was looking for a new car, I steered … Read more
My review of the 2021 Mazda MX-5 is a little bit of a love story. Because I fell in love with this car probably two decades ago. And after my latest foray with the Mazda MX-5 (better known as the Miata), I’m a little heartbroken, but probably not for the reasons you’d think. A Little … Read more
I’ll admit that the new-for-2020 Mazda CX-30 had me scratching my head when I first saw it at an auto show earlier this year and here’s why. Mazda Offers Cargo Space for Everyone… and then some Mazda offers the large and luxurious CX-9 for three row comfort. It offers the CX-5 to cover the compact … Read more
I might be a little biased about the 2020 Mazda3 AWD sedan and let me tell you why. IT TOOK ME PLACES! And I rediscovered the joy and freedom of driving. How’s your quarantine going? Are you burning through your Netflix queue? Are you looking forward to running out of milk so you have a … Read more
The 2018 Mazda CX-5 is realllly pretty to look at and it always gets me thinking about my next car. In fact, lately I’ve been joking that my current car is almost two years old so it might be time to trade it in. The truth is that I still love my 2016.5 Mazda CX-5. … Read more

Let me start this Mazda6 review with an apology. The apology goes out to Brian, my recent driving partner on a press trip to San Antonio. As we were antiquing our way through downtown (true story) on our way back to the hotel, Brian spotted a Mazda6 and made a comment indicating he thought it … Read more
It inevitably always happens. I’m asked to review a car for a week and I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO GO. And by nowhere, I mean not even a trip to downtown Baltimore 45 minutes away. Or into Washington, DC about 90 minutes away. Or even to Hershey, PA – a good 2 hours away. All of … Read more
My first car ever (not the one I drove but the one my parents owned and let me drive freely) was a 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief. If you’ve never seen this orange and black monster, there’s a video of a mint condition Jeep in all its glory. It was surprising to me how much I loved … Read more
The joy of loving cars is that I get asked to drive a lot of cars and I’m more than happy to oblige. But this latest request had me a little tickled. “Can you or your husband drive manual vehicles? We’ve got a few in your area that are wide open available in the next … Read more
