BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupe HIGHS: Potent turbo four, sharp handling, tech-intensive interior. LOWS: Oxcart ride, low-speed transmission lumpiness, buying this instead of a 3-series.

Time to Re-Tire
Ford Maverick Lobo HIGHS: Raucous Lobo mode, shrewd parts-bin upgrades, rad (standard) wheels. LOWS: Not so sporty in other modes, no extra horsepower, would be a lot cooler if it had a grippier tire.

My wife's new company car is a Nissan Altima, an unassuming sedan with a thirst for mayhem.
A RUSSIAN GUY DELIVERED THE ALTIMA on a one-car trailer at 10 p.m. on a rainy Tuesday night. My wife, Heather, drives a lot for her job as a nurse practitioner, so her company gave her a car. That car is a Glacier White 2025 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV, its window sticker boasting of its 39-mpg EPA highway rating, five-star safety score, and all-in price of $29,375. On its way off the trailer, the delivery guy dragged the chin spoiler on the ramps, giving the vehicle its first scrape. But surely not its last, because this is a Nissan Altima, the most chaotic car on earth.

The Best Odds
The cars I recall most fondly were neither the prettiest nor the quickest. Certainly not the most expensive. They were machines that emerged willfully peculiar and intractably idiosyncratic.

Forget the bestseller list—we’re stacking our to-read pile with novels in which cars are the main characters.
IT WAS A MEDIOCRE BOOK, the kind you pick up at the airport and forget by the time you get to baggage claim. I couldn't tell you the plot, but I can tell you which cars were in it. I remember because they were unusual models: an Oldsmobile 442, a Dodge Shelby Charger, and a '73 Plymouth Road Runner.
