Review: 2018 Suzuki Vitara GLX
“That looks slick.” This is the typical greeting anyone would have upon seeing the 2018 Suzuki Vitara. Of course, for people old enough to remember, they would remember the badge as having been affixed on a model that pioneered the small, no-nonsense 4x4. With the Jimny now handling that duty within the Suzuki line-up, the Vitara’s been transformed into their new sub-compact crossover offering, and like what everyone else would say, it does look slick.

How Mazda Designed The i-ACTIV AWD to Act Human
Based on the human walk—that’s how Mazda describes its i-ACTIV AWD system. It’s a good thing though that the system wasn’t based on me; if it were, then it’d suck. The moment I stepped out of the bus and onto the Kenbuchi Proving Ground located north of Asahikawa in Hokkaido, Japan, I slipped and fell in full view of all the Mazda engineers and experts. It’s reassuring to everyone concerned that Mazda’s all-wheel drive system takes inspiration from more graceful humans.

Is This Battery Going to End Your Start/Stop Woes?
The biggest issue with the modern automobile is the amount of load it places on the electrical system. And with idle start/stop systems (now standard on most European makes and even on some Japanese ones), the 12-volt starter battery takes on the car’s entire power load whenever the engine stops in heavy traffic. This repeated charging/discharging cycle can take a toll on a car’s battery with some owners reporting battery failure as early as 6 months.
