Seyth Miersma

Editor in Chief

I’m a writer, editor, content strategist, and car nerd, with about 20 years in the automotive media industry. I have worked at outlets like Winding Road magazine and Autoblog, and served as editor in chief of Motor1 and InsideEVs. If you’ve read my work or seen me on a video, you probably know me as “that very tall bearded guy laughing.” A fine legacy.

My wife, two boys, and I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. When not editing the next new car review for your perusal, you can find me obsessing over old watches, iconoclastic cars, basketball (and basketball sneakers), and what’s for lunch. Follow any of my socials for a lot of each.

The LC 500 Convertible is a fitting way to kick off the CARiD Drive era (and number 18 for the Celtics doesn’t hurt, either).
McLaren’s newest supercar gets more power, lower weight, and perfect steering.
I used the iconic Wrangler shorty as a family SUV for a week, and while I’m still in love, I’m open to seeing other cars.
With product spotlights, new car reviews, featured builds, and much more, CARiD Drive is your newest must-read car site.
If you’re planning any significant track time, the baked-in upgrades to the tS trim make (dollars and) sense.
Does the N-Lined small crossover want to be a hot-ish hatch or a warmed-up utility vehicle?
