370z vs. 350z vs. 300zx

Todd — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 05:30:17 +0000

Ever since Nissan’s 240z, the “Z-cars” have been lust-worthy. And with the introduction of the 370z, we knew it was worth gathering up the two prior generations and shooting an all-out comparison.

So with a 370z, a 350z, and a Twin Turbo 300zx we headed to some spectacular mountain roads to find which Z is first. Because great cars aren’t always the newest cars. And no matter how thin your wallet gets, there’s fun to be had.

Sit back, and watch this LARGER.

Mini Clubman & MazdaSpeed3

More fun in Hot Hatchbacks. We love that these little do-it-alls strive to be as good on a mountain road as the are in the parking lot. So, just like part one, we’re exploring the most extreme uses of these cars. Sitting in traffic vs. Slinging on track.

In this second part, we have the Mini Clubman and the MazdaSpeed3.

The Clubman is the bigger more usable Mini, but upgraded with the John Cooper Works Package for extra craziness. And the MazdaSpeed3 takes the great 3 wagon and puts a bomb under the hood.

We like this job.

Volvo C30 & Suzuki SX4t

We love Hot Hatchbacks. They are the perfect mix of reality and insanity. But they all have their own quirks and strengths. Last year we sat in them at the LA Autoshow and debated what they’d feel like in traffic. This year we tossed them around a track to see the other extreme.

In this first of two parts, we have the Suzuki SX4t and the Volvo C30.

The SX4t is an aftermarket test bed for Suzuki. The C30 is a bone stock dip into a new market for Volvo.

Either way, this is a great way to travel.

Everyday Dream Car…

Todd — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:35:44 +0000

We recently had the chance to push Everyday Driver cars to the limit at a Track. Over two days we compiled tons of footage to share over the next few months. But, like everyone else, we do dream about cars we can’t possibly afford.

Essentially, Paul and Todd are overgrown five year olds. So when given the rare opportunity to drive the Audi R8 Supercar, they jumped at the chance. And of course, we wanted to share it with you.

We will soon return to our regular programming. A long awaited Hot-Hatchback comparison starring the Volvo C30, Suzuki SX4T, Mini Clubman S, and the MazdaSpeed3.

The Green Giants…

Todd — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 22:50:32 +0000

We feel it too… the weight of four-dollar gas and the chants about cars killing us all. So we sought out the four-wheeled poster children of this new world: The Toyota Prius & The Smart ForTwo.

Admit it, you’ve wondered if you should buy one of these. There’s a great temptation to drive an efficient car efficiently, but efficient is rarely fun. So we drove them exactly like any other car, to see if they stack up.

If you’re one of those people interested in the comparison math and stats of it all, then you can find that HERE. We’ve broken down the real cost and comparison of these cars in written form.

But on this episode – We don’t care if you should drive one of these…. The real question is, do you WANT to.

OH!… And the other great question of the universe: Is the Prius the most common car on the road?
