Autonoch – The Real Entry Level: Alpine A110 vs Alfa Romeo 4C
When people say entry level supercar, they are usually referring to a car like the Ferrari 488, the Lamborghini Huracan, or something slightly slower like a McLaren 570s. The problem here is that these cars aren’t “entry level” at all. The Huracan starts at $200,000. The 488 starts at $250,000. Even the notably cheap R8 starts … Continue reading Autonoch – The Real Entry Level: Alpine A110 vs Alfa Romeo 4C
Performance and Sports Cars of the 1980s Pt. 1
Put on your jean jacket, freshen up that mullet, and pull your favorite He-Man action figure out of cold storage, because we’re going back to the 80s for this one! To most, the 80s are always going to be defined by hair metal, gigantic perms, and that weird invention called “video games” (or “Nintendo”, since … Continue reading Performance and Sports Cars of the 1980s Pt. 1
Used Review: 2015 Audi S7
Last weekend I finally got my chance to get behind the wheel of some real German power. I’ve gotta say, I am incredibly impressed. As the title implies, this was obviously a four year old pre-owned model that I got to drive, but it still felt brand new. Everything on the interior felt like it … Continue reading Used Review: 2015 Audi S7
The Nissan Midsize/Compact: An Evolution
By: Ethan White (Ethan is the writer for Autonoch and a contributor to Average Car Enthusiast.) Once the cheapest car on the US market, the Nissan Versa is known for being as basic as transport can get. The Versa was designed to be well...versatile. But did you know that the Versa's roots can be traced … Continue reading The Nissan Midsize/Compact: An Evolution

Used Review: 2015 Volkswagen Golf R
So, I finally got my hands on what some would consider the pinnacle of hot hatches. After getting some time behind the wheel, it is really easy for me to see why the Golf R receives all the hype it does. The model I drove only had about 40,000 miles on the clock, so it … Continue reading Used Review: 2015 Volkswagen Golf R
For Newer Enthusiasts – Hot Hatches are Practicality Meeting Performance
While not as popular as high horsepower muscle cars here in the US, the hot hatch class is an important staple of car culture. Everyone knows of the little hot hatches, and if you’re into performance driving, you’ve probably owned/driven one at some point. It kinda makes sense that most driving enthusiasts will have experience … Continue reading For Newer Enthusiasts – Hot Hatches are Practicality Meeting Performance
The Last Prelude
Now to get started with complete transparency, I've owned a 5th gen, so I might be a tiny bit biased. The "Lude"(as I knew it) was black, everything was stock and the engine lasted all the way up to 180,000 miles. To be fair, that's nothing for a Honda, but this thing lived a hard … Continue reading The Last Prelude
Seventh Gen Thunderbird: Nobody’s Favorite
Everyone has a favorite generation of their favorite car. It widely varies from person to person and car to car, but there is one thing that I’m fairly sure is constant. The seventh generation Thunderbird is nobody's favorite. I actually own a seventh generation Thunderbird and it still isn't my favorite generation of Thunderbird (that … Continue reading Seventh Gen Thunderbird: Nobody’s Favorite
