A Basic Buick That's Just Enough Car for the Money
Lately I have been accused of dragging politics into the supposedly safe space of car reviews. With all respect, it is I who am being dragged, by events too stupendous to ignore. Consider our test car, the 2025 Buick Envista Sport Touring ($30,465, as tested), a compact crossover powered by a three-cylinder engine and uncommonly good looks. Should I elide the fact that this vehicle is built in South Korea in order to take advantage of lower labor costs? Is it germane that the price may blow up, or not, in a few weeks, depending on which way the wind is blowing from the White House? You tell me.

The Toyota Corolla Looks Even Better With White Wheels
The Toyota GR Corolla gets all the attention— and for good reason . But hey, don't forget that the normal Corolla Hatchback still exists, and it's still a very good car. For 2025, Toyota is spicing up its base hatchback with a new FX Edition, which adds fancy paint, some extra bodywork, and a sweet wheel option. As the name suggests, the Corolla Hatchback FX Edition draws inspiration from the Corolla FX16 hatchback produced between 1987 and 1988. Sporty touches include a black spoiler on the rear liftgate, new colors like the Inferno orange pictured here (or Ice Cap white and Blue Crush), heritage badging, and most importantly, 18-inch gloss white wheels that look absolutely ace.

That orange stitching also extends to the door panels, dash, steering wheel, and shifter boot. The Corolla hatch's standard 8.0-inch touchscreen and 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster both carry over here. Unfortunately, there are no changes to the powertrain. The FX Edition uses the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine found in all versions of the standard Corolla hatch, sending 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. That engine achieves 33 miles per gallon combined. Toyota won't say how much the Corolla Hatchback FX Edition might set you back, but the standard Corolla hatch SE starts at $24,875—so expect this one to be a few thousand dollars above that. The FX Edition hits dealerships this fall. 9 Source: Toyota The Latest Toyota Special Editions 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade: Better Looks, Same Great Car The 2026 Toyota GR86 Yuzu Edition Has Scion Vibes Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use .
