These are short reviews of cars, trucks, and SUVs, from the three perspectives.
The first is from the standpoint of the automotive journalist, and covers the driving experience and various vehicular attributes, such as quality (or lack thereof) and mileage and practical usage considerations.
Next, we view the vehicle from the standpoint of an automotive broker who has sold or leased nigh on every conceivable vehicle since 1991. Factors here are resale value, reliability, and the general ownership experience, which can be at odds with how thrilling a vehicle is to drive.
Finally, we look at them as a typical Colorado resident, where the weather and most especially the elevation affect performance and livability. As an example, many 4-cylinder midsize cars that do perfectly well at sea level perform lethargically at one mile of elevation, and turbo and supercharged vehicles thrive here in the Rockies.
