About Alex on Autos
Join us as for a weekly in-depth look at the latest cars on the market. If you're interested in taking a long look at a car you're planning on buying, start here. We always cover engines, transmissions, seat comfort, interior and exterior styling, cargo area capacity, how the car drives and we spend a decent time going over the in-car tech from safety systems to infotainment. If you want to know more than the reviews that spend half their time on dramatic camera angles, we're the place to stop.
How it all started
Back in 2006 I was car shopping and as is typical for me I had massive spreadsheets dedicated to the process. The one thing my spreadsheets wouldn't tell me was what the car was like to live with, what it looked like on the inside and what options were worth buying. I spent weeks going from dealer to dealer sampling everything from a VW Passat to a Mercedes C350 and the BMW 335i and decided there had to be a better way.
