What happens when style, speed, and smart engineering meet practicality? In this week's https://RushToReason.com and https://Drive-Radio.com car review, John and Richard Rush take the wheel of the 2026 Mazda 3 Hatchback Carbon Edition — an all-wheel drive, turbocharged compact that dares to punch above its weight. Can a hatchback really handle Colorado's unpredictable snowstorms? Is the $33,000 price tag worth it when the average new car tops $50K? And what makes Mazda's interior craftsmanship rival that of luxury brands? Richard breaks down everything — from its soft-touch materials to the smooth button clicks that make this compact feel anything but cheap. But there's a twist: with a tighter back seat and smaller tank, is this the perfect urban all-rounder or just a stylish compromise? Tune in to hear why Mazda loyalists swear by this brand — and why this little hatchback might surprise even the skeptics. Have a question about a car review or a general automotive question?

In this week's https://RushToReason.com & https://Drive-Radio.com review, John and Richard Rush put the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter to the test — and it's not your dad's old 4Runner. With a hybrid turbocharged engine, rugged accessories straight from the lot, and the ability to wade through water while your kids sing along to the JBL speaker you can pull out and carry, this SUV begs the question: is adventure finally plug-and-play? But there's a twist — with a price tag nearing $70,000, is Toyota pushing loyalists too far? Can a family still fit comfortably behind the wheel of a legend built for the wild? And when capability meets cost, who really wins? Hit play to find out what the Rush team thinks about Toyota's bold new balance between power, practicality, and price — and whether the 4Runner Trailhunter deserves its trailblazing name.
