best compact SUV

  You Will Want to Trade in Your Sedan. When our family needed a reliable vehicle with a good fuel economy for my husband’s daily commute, we ended up with a sedan. We were never really the sedan type. Our Camry’s 34mpg had been a lifesaver (and budget saver!) for many years, but I’ve found…

Toyota GR 86 featured image

It comes in automatic, too. If you must. With a starting price of about $27K and all-in at $31K, you’re winning already. And that’s just one of the reasons I’ve long loved this little car: Its elegant shape and classic sports car design  instantly win me over. But its drive experience, details and price put the…

Toyota Highlander

Training for the Paralympics takes special talent. The 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has it. “You’re going to put all THAT in THERE?” were the first words out of my good friend Scotty Reiss’s mouth when she greeted my us at the Westchester Airport. Pierre and I had just returned from a race in Canada, complete with an ungodly amount of paratriathlon…

May 9, 2022 by Cindy Richards 1 Comment

Safety and creature comforts are key to road trip happiness. That and snacks. And the ability to easily access snacks. All are part of the well-designed 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross is filling a spot once owned by the RAV4. Near the end of March 2021, I became a car owner for the first time ever, some 26 years after obtaining my driver’s license. For $2,000, I picked up a 1997 Toyota RAV4 L in black on CarGurus. Alas, it has a…
