Kia Rio B-Spec First Drive
Kia Rio B-Spec First Drive
As I came up fast over the crest just before the sharp right-hander, I felt the race car begin to understeer away from me. "No worries," I thought, forgetting what exactly I was driving, "I'll just get on the power and get it straightened out." A tank-slapper later I was facing the other direction on the edge of the grass. I had just spun out on my first lap ever in a race car. A front-drive Kia Rio B-Spec race car, at that.

2013 Mazda CX-5 First Test
2013 Mazda CX-5 First Test
Somewhere out there is a proud owner of a Mazda3 with a growing family. Fido's spot in the back is now occupied by a car seat, so Dad jokes to his wife about strapping Fido to the roof. As much as he loves his 3, he knows it's time for something bigger, but he wants to keep it in the Mazda family. The new 2013 Mazda CX-5, perhaps? It fits the bill -- and Mazda says it still has plenty of the zoom-zoom DNA that made his Mazda3 so much fun. Mazda certainly believes in the CX-5's all-around capabilities. Our latest encounter with new compact crossover began at the famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, normally a playground for zoomier Mazdas like the MX-5 Miata, Mazdaspeed3, and the dearly departed RX-8. Launching a crossover at this technical track with its notorious Corkscrew? The idea is either insane, or insanely awesome.
2013 Subaru BRZ Limited First Test
2013 Subaru BRZ Limited First Test
As I enthusiastically revved the BRZ's 2.0-liter, 200-hp flat-four up to 5500 rpm, or about 2000 rpm shy of redline, I dropped the clutch, and, unlike any Subaru before, the tiny coupe lit up its rear tires as if they were Ground Bloom Flowers on July 4. It's a good thing Subaru's long-running tag line, "The Beauty of All-Wheel Drive," which signified the brand's exclusive use of four-wheel power, was replaced with "Confidence in Motion." (Not to get ahead, but the rear-drive BRZ epitomizes confidence in motion.) After 3 seconds of mellifluous tire screeching, the BRZ's Michelins hooked up, and I proceeded to effortlessly flick the Miata-esque Aisin six-speed manual from gate to gate, glancing up at the rearview and watching the runway at the decommissioned El Toro Marine Base quickly fade into the horizon.
