2023 Suzuki S-Cross 1.5 Hybrid Comfort+ – Why Even Bother
Welcome, to a 2023 Suzuki S-Cross 1.5 DualJet Hybrid Comfort+ ! Fuck me. I was just beating the hell out of Porsches on track, and now, I’m stuck behind the wheel of this. Look at this thing: It looks confusingly pissed off at who ever designed it. Like a Soviet propagandist plopped in the middle…

2023 VW Touran – Touch Me Haptically
Wassup ya buncha featherless bipeds. I’ve got the keys to a VW Touran (whatever that is) and Switzerland as my playground! You know the age old debate of “good car – bad road vs bad car – good road”? This. This is that debate. God help me. But we’ll get to that later. First, the…

2024 Renault Captur – Held Captive by the Fr*nch
As an American car enthusiast, French cars hold a special place in my heart. Born too young to be able to laugh at the “le car” or harbor any nostalgia. born just in time to lust at current year Alpine a110s, Renault Clio Cups, and the first gen Citroen C4 Cactus. Forbidden fruit kept from…

2015 Golf GTI – Anything is Worth a Try Once
Share this post with your friends to mis-shift into their asses too! People need to stop letting me drive cars that are actually fast because it makes me feel bad about the circumstances of my own life.

2006 Mercedes SL600 – Runs Like Twelve Distinguished Bats and 600mg of Vicodin up its Ass
Whaddup you featherless bipeds. It’s 2006 my mo-fos, got two more years to live it up in ecstasy until the economy crashes, so jump in to this 5.5 L twin turbo V12 nut job, and let’s try to keep it pointed straight. How they hell did y’all find this? Oh silly disembodied voice of the…

Review Update – The Fall of The Donkey Van
Here we see Mr. Stockholm Swedishdiesel tending to the topic at hand. It makes a fella proud to see a CEO working on his own fleet in this economy. I suppose this is the inaugural MSIMA review update, the first of it’s kind because so many of the vehicles we cover are single-chapter experiences. But…

2018 BMW M2 – WE IN DA M CAR NOW!
Remember Mini Cooper S kid? Who before that was Hyundai Genesis Coupe kid? Well, look who finally got their automotive shit together. Behold, ladies and gents, consumers of content, and loyal MSIMA reader: what Lockheed Martin does to a motherfucker! I’ve driven a non-competition M2 before.

Chevy HHR SS – The Anatomically Incorrect Hot Hatch
From an 1880’s abandoned covanent school the skinwalker presents: As all conversations start about this car, one simply asks: why would one ever buy that thing. Well, it was quite simple. I like going fast, I like stupid vehicles, and I like handling. Now you may wonder how an HHR could ever do any of…

1987 Ford Mustang – One Man’s Personal Afghanistan
There is often an element of tragedy in comedy. And this car is pretty fucking hilarious. A review drive like any other this was not. We met up with the owner between a lab and a maintenance building at university, with a major problem at hand: the car had no coolant. Now, how many engineering…

2013 Range Rover Supercharged (L405) – Whoops! Off my Meds Again!
What the hell I thought these are supposed to be off roaders? So why then can accelerate like a Porsche? But it also has several terrain modes? And it’s actually nice and cushy in here? With adjustable ride height? What is this thing? WHAT ARE YOU!? WHY JLR, WHY!? Ok so how about a smidge…
