| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 05:51 PM PDT  The Ford Taurus nameplate is one that in the 1980s arguably saved Ford Motor Co. Yet today it remains more of a niche model -- a mid-size, luxurious, and high-tech four-door sedan. As the largest sedan in the Ford model range, it has a classy design, available performance models and, if you pick the right model, some sporty driving dynamics. See... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 05:20 PM PDT  Ford hasn't built a true minivan in quite some time; but it gets closer than it has in many years to that tried-and-true formula with the current Transit Connect. And surprisingly, that's just a side story for the Transit Connect, which was redesigned as a late introduction for the 2014 model year and carries into 2015 with all those changes. As... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 04:15 PM PDT  Whether you opt for the four-door sedan or five-door hatchback version of the Ford Fiesta, you'll end up with an economical small car that has a little more endearing personality than most other such picks. The Fiesta competes with the likes of the Toyota Yaris, Kia Rio, Honda Fit, Mazda2, Hyundai Accent, and the MINI Cooper; and across its... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 02:56 PM PDT  The Ford Flex is a wonderful piece of contrast in today's market, bucking the trends of the 2010s in a way that's so confident and brazen that we can't help but admire its decidedly different direction. it’s still one of the most distinctive cars in its segment. When optioned with the white roof, the full-size crossover that can seat up to... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 02:19 PM PDT  In recent years, much of the mid-size sedan set has been pushing upward, emphasizing size and plush interiors over the sensible size. The 2015 Mazda6 stands as a nice counterpoint to that trend; offering -- like no other mid-size entry, really -- the light-and-lean personality of a smaller car, scaled up. Mazda has a knack for pulling... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 01:27 PM PDT  The Lexus RX brought on a completely new segment -- that of luxurious crossover vehicles -- when it was introduced fifteen years ago. And today it remains what it's always been: a plush counter to rugged utes, focused far more around suburban life than boulders and brawn. Plenty of alternatives have emerged; but among those who still... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 01:06 PM PDT  The Nissan Quest is a minivan that's been sold in its current edition since the 2011 model year. It can transport as many as seven passengers, and has a more sprightly driving feel than some of the more portly minivans on the road today--the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey among them, as well as the revamped Kia Sedona, the Dodge Grand Caravan... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 01:04 PM PDT  Mid-size sedans are a tough category, and every vehicle--including the Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Chevy Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Subaru Legacy--is no more than four years old, with most new in 2012 or later. The Ford Fusion remains one of our favorite mid-size sedan, with a stylish design and enjoyable driving feel... |
| 2014 Toyota Sienna Recalled For Potential Rollaway Issue Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:19 PM PDT  In some 2014 Toyota Sienna models, the transmission shift control cable could fail, leading a driver to believe that the gear lever has been shifted to Park when it's not—and potentially causing the vehicle to roll away during or on exit. The recall only covers 263 vehicles, built from June 17 through June 24, 2014. Many of which are likely... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:06 PM PDT  The Chevrolet Malibu is the GM brand's mass-market four-door, a competitor for family cars like the mid-size sedan Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Camry. Chevy has sold a vehicle named Malibu since the 1960s, but it's evolved over time as tastes changed, from the V-8 and rear-drive Malibus of the Sixties and Seventies gave... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:03 PM PDT  The Chevrolet Tahoe is a full-size SUV that uses many of the same components from the GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, and the Chevy Silverado. It's new for the 2015 model year, better focused on its mission of providing seating for eight in comfort, while towing up to 8,500 pounds. For more details on prices, options, and specifications, see our... |
| Fire Risk Prompts New Recall Fix; GM Asks Owners To Park SUVs Outside Posted: 06 Aug 2014 11:57 AM PDT  General Motors [NYSE:GM] has issued a revised recall of some 2005-2007 model year mid-size SUVs, for an issue with a short in the power-window switch. The short could result in a fire, and it's potentially severe enough for the automaker to advise that owners park affected vehicles outside until they're fixed. In 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 11:30 AM PDT  Among the tall wagons on the market, the Nissan Cube was always the oddest and quirkiest. It never succeeded at competing successfully against the Kia Soul, the tall-wagon champion, or the Scion xB--the car that invented the category--but the Cube offered a decent price tag, efficiency, and a surprisingly roomy interior. It made a good city car... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 11:15 AM PDT  It may be only a compact, but the Nissan Juke is by far one of the most unusual, distinctive designs--some would say downright bizarre--on the market today. It's a compact crossover utility vehicle, of sorts, with all-wheel drive as an option for bad-weather states. But it's the unconventional styling, making it stand out on the road, that's... |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2014 10:45 AM PDT  While the Nissan Sentra nameplate has been around for more than 30 years, the cars themselves have steadily increased in size, safety, and available options. These days, the Sentra is a compact four-door sedan that faces off against the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla among Japanese makers--and the Chevy Cruze, Dodge Dart, Ford Focus, Hyundai... |
