2012 Mazda 2 Full Review:
Small, compact cars are really making a comeback in America, and we’ve driven quite a few here, including the new Ford Fiesta. The all new Mazda 2 is based on the same platform as the Fiesta, so you’d assume they are pretty similar cars. While they're similar in size, that might just be where the similarities stop. We’ve had the read_more»
2012 Mazda 5 full review
Family wagon, mini-mini-van, crossover, people carrier, or standing in a class of it’s own? The Mazda 5 was introduced in the American market back in 2005. Although small family cars like this are popular in Europe and Asia, they are not prevalent in America.

The 2012 Honda Civic Coupe Reviewed
We had a chance to do a Quick Drive review of this 2012 Honda Civic Coupe back during the Texas Auto Roundup where to be quite honest, we were fairly unimpressed at that time.

2011 Ford Explorer reviewed

2012 Ford Focus Reviewed
The Ford Focus has never been that strong of a competitor in the U.S. market. Although having great success with the Focus, and growing the platform, over seas Ford neglected the Focus brand here in their home market keeping a cheaper and older platform. The enthusiast community, including us here at txGarage, have cried for years for Ford to bring read_more»
Review: 2010 Toyota Prius
This week on txGarage we are testing the all new 2010 Toyota Prius. In all honesty I'll have to say none of us were too thrilled about driving the Prius for the week, Hybrid cars just are not our style.

Review: 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid
Driving on icy highways is no fun anywhere, but in Central Texas it becomes downright dangerous. A large percentage of Texans drive trucks, rear-wheel-drive with no traction. Couple that with the fact that we never seem to be prepared for ice or snow and it really gets dangerous. Heading home from visiting family for Christmas Eve, we hit the worst read_more»
