By Kevin Harrison My girlfriend was recently reminiscing about the time she used to drive her step dad’s 2005 Kia Magentis to school. Even though it got her from point A to point B with minimal protest, it was far from what anyone in high school would have liked to be...

Test Drive: 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe XL

By Kevin Harrison I'm not quite sure why Hyundai's two efforts in the 7+ passenger seating segment didn't pan out.
