Reviews SummaryThe Ford Mustang returns for a final tour as its primary rivals head to retirement. This seventh-generation pony car is based on its predecessor but receives numerous upgrades that significantly improve its interior and technology. For fun on a budget, it's difficult to beat a Mustang, and this newest version continues the tradition with a healthy dose of nostalgia. | |
Reviews SummaryWith the debut of its 4th-generation platform, the Kia Rio adds size and weight for a more stable presence on the road, concurrently firming up its suspension to toss a little sportiness into the mix. With quality construction, an impressive warranty, and a starting MSRP of just $13,900, it’s no wonder the Rio is Kia’s best-selling vehicle internationally. | |
