The flagship performance model of the Civic brand, the 2012 Si may only have four more horsepower than the outgoing model, but with lots more torque at much lower rpm, plus a more capable suspension and some great tech features, this is a car Civic Nation can be proud of.
Back for 2012 in second-gen form, the Civic Hybrid is in every way superior to its predecessor with improved fuel economy, better technology and some cool interior gadgets. But when it comes to all-out fuel economy, the Prius has no equal.
A solid offering in standard trim, luxury options elevate the S60 from being cross-shopped with a mid-size sedan to challenging some luxury rivals.
One of three finalists for the 2011 World Car of the Year, the new BMW 5 Series has something for almost everyone.
AutoGuide editor and amateur ice racer Derek Kreindler tests the all-weather prowess of Porsche’s sports cars at Camp4 Canada. Yes it’s a driving school, but add in a track made of ice and snow, and set in a world-class travel destination and it’s an adventure in the making. A chance to hone your driving skills,…
Combing the new Sonata’s fuel economy, power, style and drive quality with a fully-loaded package, there’s little reason to look elsewhere when considering a new family sedan.
One of the newer rivals in the compact segment, the Forte has been improved with the addition of a 6-speed transmission. Unfortunately it’s still somewhat lethargic and nothing has been done to improve the drab interior.
It might not be as innovative as some rivals, but the Quest gets the basics right and offers a few new tricks. Plus, it’s got no shortage of style.
Whether more civilized or just less archaic, the Wrangler gets a vastly improved interior for 2011 proving that you can take the Jeep off the trail, but you can’t take the trail out of the Jeep.
You won’t win any bragging contests with the F or P car crowd, but the Rossion Q1 can more than keep up.
Improved in so many ways, perhaps the biggest change to the Touareg is the price, meaning there’s now very little gap between this Volkswagen and its Porsche sibling.
The Juke is a rare breed and not just because of its looks. That ‘unique’ design has also been paired with an original powertrain and innovative technology in a segment-busting package. It’s ugly, and we love it.
With plenty of interior space, luxury, power, craftsmanship and a solid road presence, the MKS combines what’s good about the modern Lincoln with the brand’s classic expertise in making big luxury cars.
Less ugly and with only a meager attempt at an updated interior, the new-ish 2011 R-Class continues to be a very expensive crossover that leaves little doubt why its sales are so low.
After duking it out at the top of the ‘3 Series’ segment for years, Infiniti has finally released a more budget-conscious version of its G sedan. Despite its lower price and smaller engine, there’s little lacking in this affordable sports sedan.
A 4-door sports car, the Rapide is, first and foremost, a luxury machine, with a serious price tag for those who put being unique at the top of their shopping list.
An incredible package where fun meets fuel economy, the 2011 Cooper S gets more of both, plus a new ‘infotainment’ system. But it’s not perfect.
For a car designed to be used all over the world, the Chevy Cruze is surprisingly good at meeting key attributes demanded of a U.S. compact. But is it the best?
More than just an Evo grille, the Outlander GT adds Mitsubishi’s high-tech S-AWC all-wheel drive system to deliver a crossover with incredible handling and grip.
You always expect to pay a premium for a convertible, especially a luxury one with a tri-pointed star on the front and a big V8 under the hood. But the E-Class Cabriolet is surprisingly well-priced without being remotely close to the sort of vehicle you might describe using the term “value.”
Despite being an all-new model, the 2012 Mazda5 doesn’t get any big changes. Luckily for Mazda they don’t have to try too hard, as the 5 is all alone in the mini-minivan segment. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s one of the best examples of practicality, style and price on the market.
The new Ford Mustang Convertible might be too good. How’s that possible? Well, its modernization means it’s no longer the raw muscle car of days gone bye. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is up to you.
Mazda’s mid-size sedan lacks much of the brand’s sporty characteristics and the standard 4-cylinder engine does little to help.
Adding to the competency of the new Regal is a Turbo model with plenty more right-foot fun, plus improved driving dynamics thanks to the a new feature that lets you adjust the shock settings, throttle response, shift times and steering sensitivity.
