Perfect for small families and everyone in between. I’m not new to the Totoya family. I have fond memories of taking trips in my dad’s 90’s Toyota Camry. It was one of the most reliable vehicles he owned when I was growing up. I bet that if you ask most people about a reliable vehicle…
The Toyota Venza Lives Again as an Elegant, Tech-Filled Hybrid AWD SUV
This is not the same Venza you might remember from a *few* years ago. I still see them on the road sometimes. The Toyota Venza, a midsize crossover SUV, smaller than the Highlander and less SUV-ish than the RAV4, it had AWD so it was great for snowy climates. It was a true crossover, not…
The Ford F-150 Hybrid is Finally Here and We Can’t Wait To Drive It
We love hybrids. We love trucks. This could be sheer heaven. We love our trucks. But as fun as they are to drive, the poor fuel economy may make you rethink having one for every day driving. Ford is changing that. The first automaker to bring a hybrid to the truck market, the company just revealed…
2020 Toyota Highlander 3-Row SUV: It Starts with 35 Amazing Hybrid Miles Per Gallon and Then, Gets Better
Cars like this make me miss toddlerhood. I look at the 2020 Toyota Highlander and my eyes get misty. Yes, I see the beautiful leather seats, panoramic sun roof and head up display and think, how luxurious. But my heart sees the center row captain’s chairs, the easy-to-reach third row, the 3-zone climate system, wifi…
Yes, the Luxury Family Sedan is a Thing: Used 2017 Ford Fusion Platinum Hybrid AWD Review
Life Can Be a Lot of the Same. Mix It Up. I’m not going to sugar coat it, being in a car doesn’t always evoke the best feelings. Traffic, long hours, high gas prices, running back and forth to work, activities, and appointments – there are many other things I’d rather be doing with my time…

Why the 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Will Capture Your Heart… and Your Head
This sweet little sedan has a secret and we can’t stop smiling about it. 🎵“I’m gonna soak up the sun…” 🎶 is an anthem in our house. It usually means that we are heading to the pool to unplug and get some vitamin D. But in this case, it’s a fitting anthem for the Hyundai…
2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: An SUV With All the Right Stuff
Ok, here’s why I needed to drive the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and why you should, too. I’ve gotta say I was a little skeptical of a plugin electric hybrid (PHEV) SUV. Would it really feel like a sports utility vehicle I could load the family into for a camping trip, or would I constantly whine…
This is What the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid and Is Like To Drive
A plug-in hybrid takes a bit of the ‘guilty’ out of the pleasure of driving this bespoke car. I never thought driving a Bentley was for me. Too luxurious for my kids and dog. Too big for just me alone. Better for being chauffeured than driving yourself, but I really like driving. Could it really…
