Clean Diesel vs. Hybrid : Which One is Best For You?
To help you make a wise decision for yourself, I have narrowed down the choices by comparing diesel and hybrid powertrains. These two options do not require you to make a major lifestyle change.
First Drive: 2015 Jeep Renegade
Bottom line with the 2015 Jeep Renegade—it’s a great size both on and off-road, has got a load of fun tech and genuine ability packed into a compact frame.
Road Test: 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI
With the 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen TDI, Volkswagen’s designers have delivered an upscale wagon with classic styling, clean lines and no useless cladding or body panels.
First Drive: 2016 Honda HR-V
Our most significant impression for the 2016 Honda HR-V is that of space an functionality. While it’s got a functional back seat, when you need hauling capacity that seat disappears and a spacious cargo hauling capacity is revealed.
Road Test: 2015 Toyota RAV4 LE
The beauty of the 2015 Toyota RAV4 is the interior space, so if you have a third of a baseball team to haul around all the time and don’t want to step-up to a larger SUV, the RAV4 just might be the right family hauler for you.
Road Test: 2015 Fiat 500L Trekking
So the 2015 Fiat 500L is supposed to be about “Italian automotive design.” It is unique in its design and I do think it’s a good design, but I’m not convinced it’s ready to join even the cute 500 on the lower rungs of the Ital design world.
Road Test: 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus
If you don’t opt for the higher powered versions, the 2015 Dodge Challenger gets respectable highway fuel economy and keeps it’s street cred with Camaro and Mustang, which it has been battling against for bragging rights over the past five decades.
Road Test: 2015 Nissan Juke SL
The 2015 Nissan Juke is a blending of a small crossover and performance car that, for the more adventurous among you, lets you make your own statement with a design that has been called everything from wild to modern sculpture.
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: 2015 Toyota Yaris 5-Door SE
The 2015 Toyota Yaris should be added to your shopping list to see first-hand what a sharp little car it is and research the standard equipment that comes with what is one of the lowest entry prices in the segment.
