2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reviews SummaryWhen money is but a mild concern, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz is a reasonable purchase. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the company's most practical and versatile car, as high-quality and necessary in a nice garage as a Kitchen-Aid mixer is in a baker's kitchen. It offers four body styles, four engines, and dozens of colour schemes. Fast or efficient? Loud or library quiet? Modest or rich as hell? The E-Class, the brand's midsize car, is all of those things, depending on which of the 13 models you order and how deep into the options list you dive. For 2021, the E-Class receives a mid-cycle update for the infotainment system, engines, and exterior styling. We tested the Mercedes-AMG E53 that features a mild-hybrid inline-6 powertrain. | |
2021 Honda Civic Reviews SummaryHonda is ready to retire the 10th-generation Civic, one of the ground-breaking versions in the nameplate's long and storied history. From its polarizing design and three body styles to the arrival (finally!) of the Honda Civic Type R performance variant in the North American market, this version of the Civic made its mark. And even though the design is now six years old, and the car is ubiquitous on Canadian roads, the 2021 Honda Civic remains worthy of consideration. | |
