Reviews SummaryWhen Ford decided to enter the dedicated hybrid market, it knew it would have to offer something better than segment stalwart Toyota Prius. How else to make a dent in such a cemented position as America’s Favorite Hybrid? | |
Reviews SummaryCompromises are inherently dissatisfying, but the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Volt represents a rare exception to this rule. The Volt provides half the range of a traditional electric car and returns fewer miles per gallon than a Toyota Prius. This compromise, however, is brilliant, because the Volt’s special powertrain allows for electric mobility the majority of the time while completely eliminating a phenomenon known as “range anxiety.” | |
