| Chevrolet Volt Vs. Toyota Prius: Compare Cars Posted: 10 Feb 2015 04:30 PM PST  For more than a decade, the Toyota Prius has been the most fuel-efficient gasoline car sold in the U.S. But the range-extended Chevrolet Volt lets drivers cover the first 40 miles on battery power, then switch to a gasoline engine for long trips. It offers the superior driving experience of an electric car while eliminating the range anxiety of a... |
| Subaru BRZ Vs. Scion FR-S: Compare Cars Posted: 10 Feb 2015 04:27 PM PST  Your options today are surprisingly limited if you, above all else, want a simple, affordable sports car that's not also striking muscle-car poses. Truth is, there aren't all that many no-frills rear-wheel-drive sports coupes. While the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the more affordable versions of the Nissan 370Z might suffice, the Subaru BRZ and... |
| 2015 Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax Earn Top Safety Ratings Posted: 10 Feb 2015 03:28 PM PST  Two of the smallest crossover utility vehicles on the market have been awarded a very good set of safety ratings. The 2015 Buick Encore and 2015 Chevrolet Trax have both earned ‘good’ scores in all categories of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) testing—including the small overlap test, which simulates an collision... |
| Interactive Map Shows How America Gets To Work (Spoiler: Most Of Us Drive Alone) Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:00 AM PST  If you read the news each day, you might be under the impression that few people drive to work alone. Headlines frequently shout about the popularity of carpools and HOV lanes and new bike paths and how more people than ever are taking mass transit -- especially in Planet Earth's growing cities. But the website Flowing Data was suspicious of such... |
| Should You Worry About Your Car Being Hacked? Yes & No Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:37 AM PST  Yesterday, the internet was ablaze with talk of hackers. Why? Because Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) released a report on potential security loopholes in our cars' onboard computers, based on data provided by 16 automakers. Should you worry about your own car being hacked? Yes and no. ALSO SEE: Six Vehicles With The Most Eye-Catching Lighting BACKGROUND... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:32 AM PST  The Ford Fusion is a family-friendly mid-size sedan that’s been sold in two generations since 2005 and was completely redesigned for the 2013 model year. A hybrid version of the Fusion was added when the first-generation car was heavily revised for the 2010 model year. The second-generation, 2013 model has offered a Hybrid variant from the... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:29 AM PST  The Land Rover LR4 is a luxury sport-utility vehicle with seating for up to seven passengers. While it's been tamed for on-road use and is fairly practical in its design, it's also quite capable off-road, like the other models in the Land Rover lineup. The LR4's main rivals include the BMW X5, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Volkswagen Touareg, and... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:25 AM PST  Ferrari’s California is a two-plus-two convertible sports car with a folding hardtop. Despite being Ferrari’s “entry-level” car, it’s exciting to drive, comfortable enough for daily use, and dramatically styled to boot. The California competes with the Maserati GranTurismo, Lamborghini Huracán, and Porsche 911... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:14 AM PST  The Ferrari FF is a three-door luxury, high-performance hatchback—the only one of its kind. It’s also Ferrari’s first-ever all-wheel-drive vehicle, bringing a new level of practicality to the luxury, performance, and style the brand is already known for. It's difficult to pick a vehicle that rivals the FF's unique skill set, but... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:11 AM PST  New to this market for the 2015 model year, the Audi Q3 is a compact luxury crossover destined to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, BMW X1, and Buick Encore. It is the entry-level model in Audi's growing crossover lineup, which now includes the Q3, Q5, and Q7. The Q3 resembles nothing so much as a scaled-down Q5, one of Audi's... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:07 AM PST  The Lincoln MKZ is an entry-luxury, mid-size four-door sedan. It is a spin-off of Ford's Fusion sedan and has been sold since 2006. In an attempt to differentiate the two models, the Lincoln MKZ received a dramatic redesign for the 2013 model year. The MKZ is a rival for sedans like the Acura TLX, Lexus ES, Buick LaCrosse, and Volvo S60. MORE... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:00 AM PST  The Chevrolet Cruze compact four-door sedan, even in its fifth year, remains a segment leader that competes head to head with the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and Kia Forte. The Cruze will likely be redesigned in the next year or two, but with slightly freshened front styling for 2015, the current model continues to... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:57 AM PST  The Chevrolet Sonic is a subcompact model offered as a sedan or five-door hatchback. It was introduced for the 2012 model year and is the first small Chevy in decades to be truly competitive. To its credit, the Sonic has succeeded in erasing some of the memories of underwhelming efforts like the Chevy Aveo. The Sonic's rivals include cars like the... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:55 AM PST  The Chevrolet Spark is the smallest car currently sold by General Motors in the U.S. This city-friendly hatchback is more than a foot shorter than the next-smallest Chevy—the Sonic—making it a rival for vehicles like the Fiat 500, the Mitsubishi Mirage, and the truly tiny Smart ForTwo and Scion iQ. The Spark is powered by an... |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:51 AM PST  The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a true sports car, and perhaps one of the more unlikely successes of the modern automotive era. Designed in the 1980s as an homage to the classic British roadster, the Miata offered up all the driving fun of those sports cars, but virtually none of the ownership pains. That combination continues today. This little Mazda has... |
