| December 17, 2024 | Hey everyone! Managing Editor Roger Biermann here from CarBuzz and this is your Tuesday automotive recap! |
Tonight, we look at the 2025 Nissan Kicks as our selection for the best budget car of the year, Genesis' new metal-coated windshield defrosting at sizzling speeds, more automotive news and four more CarBuzz car of the year awards (with another few on show tomorrow), including, tonight, the top performance car for 2025 and our EV pick of the year. Let's dive in! |
As the year winds down, we've been picking the best cars we've tested this year. We've driven hundreds of cars in the last 12 months, but there's been a shortage of talent at an affordable price. |
Here are some other standout news stories of the day: |
Car prices rise each year, giving enthusiasts on a budget fewer options to have fun without breaking the bank. We've driven hundreds of cars this year, but only a few stood out as affordable options for driving enthusiasts. As it has done many times in the past, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata blew us away, earning the Affordable Fun award this year. |
The CarBuzz Best Performance Car Award is given to the car that subjectively creates the biggest grin while driving, tying this fun-to-drive nature with supreme capability when it counts. There were many deserving cars among the hundreds we drove this year, but one stood out above the others: the McLaren 750S. |
I woke up in Central Florida to a disturbing reality; it was 42 degrees outside. I just knew that as soon as I stepped into my test vehicle for the week, a 2025 Nissan Kicks, the tire pressures would be all out of wack thanks to the outside temperature. Luckily, this was also the same week I had the ETENWOLF Vortex S6 Tire Inflator to test. Read on to learn more about why this might be the right tire inflator for you. |
CarBuzz Awards Continued... |
Off-road capability has become a highly desired feature for trucks and SUVs, so much so that automakers have gone wild creating more rugged versions of these vehicles. We drove many impressive vehicles this year that could tackle a dirt track or climb a mountain, but there was one that impressed us more than the others. |
As electric vehicles continue to evolve, we're increasingly finding emotional reasons to praise them in addition to purely practical concerns. That is why, after driving dozens of new EVs this year,CarBuzz has awarded the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N as the Best Electric Vehicle to buy in 2025. |
