Tesla Model 3 Long-Term Owner Review|What Makes It So Appealing After 1 Year and 18,700 km?

One Year with the Tesla Model 3 – Driving 18,700 km Time flies—it’s already been about a year since I purchased my Tesla Model 3. Over this year, I’ve driven 18,700 km. For someone who owns multiple cars, putting that many kilometers on a single vehicle in a year is a clear sign of how much I’m drawn to this car.

Impressions from a Full-Throttle Test Drive of the Toyota GRMN Yaris by a Porsche Enthusiast

Reuniting with the GRMN Yaris: Anticipation for Full-Throttle Driving I had the opportunity to test drive the Toyota GRMN Yaris once again. During my previous drive, the car was brand new and still in the break-in period, so I was limited to engine speeds between 3000 and 4000 rpm.
