About Diego Gonzalez Alicata

I'm Diego, an automotive sales professional based in Greenville, South Carolina. I spend my days answering car questions face to face, and I built this site because most of those answers deserve to be public, complete, and honest.

Why this site exists

Car shopping runs on information the industry is often reluctant to give plainly: what things actually cost, what goes wrong, and when the competitor is simply the better buy. My approach is the opposite. Every page here starts with the real question, answers it immediately, shows the price ranges and the drawbacks, and ends with who should choose something else. If that costs a sale, fine, it's the answer I'd want if I were the one buying.

How the answers are made

Facts come from primary sources first, manufacturer specification and pricing pages, NHTSA, IIHS, and FuelEconomy.gov, with reputable independent testing filling the gaps. Every consequential number is tied to a source you can see at the bottom of the page, along with the date it was last verified. The full method is in the Research & Fact-Checking Policy, and drafting assistance is disclosed in the AI-Assistance Disclosure.

What I am, and what I'm not

I'm a sales professional and a buyer educator. I am not a mechanic, an engineer, a financial adviser, or an automotive journalist with a test fleet, and this site never pretends otherwise. You won't find invented "I've driven this for 100,000 miles" stories here, where a page relies on long-term ownership data, it cites the people who actually collected it. This site is an independent publication with no affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from Honda or any manufacturer or dealership.
