Without a properly functioning battery, the vehicles we drive, on land or on the water, can put us in some difficult situations. The best way to avoid these concerns, in addition to proper overall vehicle maintenance, is to have the tools to test battery life to remove any doubts about their capabilities and lifespan.
For a very reasonable cost, there are products available to the everyday person, whether they are DIY mechanics or just regular vehicle owners, that can help ease they mind and limit worries about being stranded due to battery issues. It’s also not a bad idea to have a tool like this available in your vehicle if you do get stranded, as it can help diagnose your problem, and it is also an affordable option for garage owners who regularly test batteries.

Wagon devotees are a committed bunch, perhaps reminiscent of their times touring the country in the old wood-paneled wagons of decades past. But their numbers are no longer massive, as SUVs have taken over the automotive world.
Still, there are a few automotive brands who remain dedicated to keeping wagon lovers happy. On the nonluxury side of things, Subaru’s Outback is the most popular option, and in the luxury realm, both Audi and Volvo remain active in the wagon world.
Today, we’ll be talking about the Volvo V60 Cross Country, the type of quality vehicle you would love to take the family out in for a long, ‘Vacation’ style road trip — minus some of the more dangerous high jinks of course.
As we move closer to everyone and their mother having a truck or SUV, small car offerings are a rarity these days, especially the subcompact vehicles that seem to be disappearing more and more each year.
The Nissan Versa is one of the few still available to those in search of a tinier ride: A subcompact, front-wheel-drive, 4-door sedan. I spent a week in a 2021 Versa, and I’m back with a full report on this small but capable ride.
LOOKS
Completely redesigned in 2020 and touched up a bit for 2021, the 2021 Nissan Versa is now one of the better-looking subcompact sedans available on the market, inside and out.
Legroom is always a concern in a subcompact, but up front there’s plenty to spare even for taller folks. In the back, of course, it’s going to be a bit cramped, which is why these types of vehicles are often used as commuter cars and not family carriers.
