Used Cars: 3 Discontinued Makes to Consider

Pre-owned vehicles

Many models disappear from the new car market over the years, but sometimes it's also brands that completely vanish. Howver, they can still be found, of course, at used car dealerships.

Best Buys for 2014: City Cars

Good things come in small packages, even very small packages. Made for agile maneuvering in crowded cities and squeezing into tight parking spaces, miniature cars are not for everyone. In fact, the decision to buy one often comes more from the heart than the head—because they’re just so much fun. January 29, 2014

2014 Scion FR-S: Slip-Sliding Through Winter's Wonderland

There's no question that the appearance of the Scion FR-S (and its mechanical twin, the Subaru BRZ) on the scene last year blew the sports car world wide open. Here at last was a rear-wheel drive performance coupe that offered a lightweight design at an affordable price. I had the …January 17, 2014

2014 Scion iQ / Aston Martin Cygnet: Cute Microcars

The Scion iQ still turns heads when it turns a corner. Even though Scion’s diminutive offering has been driving on Canadian roads since 2012, onlookers will still gawk at it, not with the gaze of amazement that comes when spotting some European exotic car, but more with a look of …August 12, 2013

2013 Scion tC Release Series 8.0: A Tale Of Two Coupes

There's a fine line between a sports car and a sporty car. The former is typically represented by focused models like the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Chevrolet Corvette, automobiles that make sacrifices in certain areas so as to keep curb weights low, handling tight, and acceleration lively. The latter …December 28, 2012

Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ: Sibling rivals take home the hardware in the 2013 Guide

If you’ve seen the new edition of Le Guide de l’auto and leafed through its 678 pages, you already know that the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ were crowned Cars of the Year. These two new coupes share the title because they’re practically identical twins born of a joint project …September 13, 2012

Up close and personal with the adorable Scion iQ

For August, the trendy 2012 Scion iQ goes under the magnifying glass as part of the Car Guide’s monthly mechanical inspection.

2012 Scion iQ: Mensa member, or a dumb decision?

There are a great many desirable things that $16,760 can buy. A Triumph Daytona 675 and a race-season's worth of supplies, for example. Or, if you're not fascinated by going fast, a classic Rolls Royce, perhaps. Hell, if you're a fan of small cars, you can even buy yourself a …April 30, 2012

2012 Scion iQ: The Scion in Winter

One of the first questions people ask me about small cars is, “How does this vehicle handle in winter?” They already know that the car isn’t terribly roomy, that its performances are respectable at best given the modest engine power, and that its fuel consumption is very economical. But for …December 8, 2011

The 2011 Scion tC: Touring Coupe or Troubled Car?

The last couple weeks haven’t exactly been my best. It’s hard to say where it started, but it would certainly appear that the automotive fates have aligned against me. Perhaps it’s simply karma finally coming around to make up for all the vehicular shenanigans of my youth, or perhaps it’s …February 17, 2011

Review: 2016 Scion iM

"Let's be honest," says Brad Diamond, "pretty much anything Toyota touches turns to gold." Except, perhaps, its Scion brand, which seems to be treading water at best. Toyota is hoping the 2016 Scion iM can help change that. Essentially a re-badged version of the Toyota Corolla hatch sold in certain …
