2024 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid review
The cheapest Corolla Hybrid makes a lot of sense as a sedan, even if it's not the most inspiring choice. It just does everything so well.

2023 Skoda Scala review
Skoda's entry-level small hatch has some great elements, but feels a bit budget and there are some notable safety omissions.
