A Hyundai Veloster key fob is one of those little conveniences we barely notice—until it stops working. One day, we press the unlock button and the doors pop open instantly. The next, we’re standing beside the car pressing the same button three or four times…

The Hyundai Veloster Turbo specs tell us quite a lot about what made this unusual three-door hatchback such an interesting alternative to traditional sporty compacts. It never relied on enormous horsepower or a giant engine. Instead, Hyundai squeezed strong torque from a small turbocharged four-cylinder,…

The Hyundai Veloster engine size depends heavily on the model year, trim level, and market. That sounds simple enough, but the Veloster's engine history is surprisingly varied. During its production run, Hyundai offered naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engines, turbocharged 1.6-liter engines, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engines, and…

The Hyundai Veloster weight is one of those specifications that seems simple until we start comparing model years, engines, transmissions, and trims. Ask how much a Veloster weighs, and we could reasonably hear answers ranging from roughly 2,700 pounds to more than 3,200 pounds. Strangely…

The Ram 1500 oil change interval sounds like it should be a simple number. Drive a certain number of miles, change the oil, reset the reminder, and get back on the road. Easy, right? Not quite. Modern Ram 1500 trucks use an oil-life monitoring system,…

Pull up to a gas station in a Ram 1500 and the choices look simple enough: regular, mid-grade, or premium. Yet that little row of buttons can spark a surprisingly big question: what gas type does a Ram 1500 actually need? The short answer is…

Charging a Volvo XC60 sounds straightforward: find a cable, plug it in, and walk away. Yet there is one detail that changes the entire answer—not every Volvo XC60 is designed to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Depending on the model year and powertrain, an…

Yes, most Mazda 6 models can take regular unleaded gasoline, and if we're driving a gasoline-powered Mazda 6 in the United States, regular 87-octane fuel is generally acceptable.
