Road Test: 2016 Kia Forte5 SX 5-Door
The 2016 Kia Forte5 SX is a good example of price, practicality and fun, all for an entry price of as low as $18,000.
Road Test: 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI SE
The seventh-generation 2015 Volkswagen Golf continues the long heritage of a fun, nimble compact car being a favorite of drivers worldwide.
Road Test: 2015 Honda Fit EX-L with Navigation
For right around $20,000 you get an almost fully optioned 2015 Honda Fit (even less if you go without some of the optional items). This car can carry a family of four comfortably, even on 500+ mile trips.
Road Test: 2014 Ford Focus Electric
My time in the 2014 Ford Focus Electric has caused me to rethink some of my thoughts on the labeling of EVs.
Road Test: 2015 Kia Forte EX
Sharp styling, a roomy interior, mid-30s highway fuel economy and coming nearly fully equipped for around $25,000 makes the 2015 Kia Forte EX a must-add to your shopping list.
Road Test: 2014 Volkswagen e-Golf
The 2014 Volkswagen e-Golf isn’t the first, but it’s got our vote as the best of the mainstream (i.e., affordable) electric cars.
2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
The 2015 Jetta TDI SE has had minor but important interior and exterior design changes that make it the best overall car in its class for comfort, torque, fuel economy and ease of operation.
Road Test: 2014 Volkswagen Jetta TDI – DSG Automatic
While both TDIs are very nice cars and equally worth owning, I lean towards the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta TDI with the automatic versus the manual.
Road Test: 2014 Dodge Dart GT and Dart Limited
The 2014 Dodge Dart does this well with its Italian heritage and distinctive styling that separates it from other compact sedans that tend to look pretty much the same. Dodge also did a fine job with the interior design, roominess and instrument and infotainment system layout.
Road Test: 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Turbo Diesel LT
The 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel is rated at 46 Highway/27 City with an average of 33 MPG. Sounds pretty good, but it can get even better because, if you have a light foot on the accelerator, you might even get closer to 50 MPG on the highway. So, what’s not to like about GM’s Mileage King?
