Reviews SummaryThrough each of its nine previous generations, the Honda Civic has upheld thrift and dependability in a very small, fun-to-drive package. The all-new 2016 Civic takes bold chances in elevating small-car fashion, refinement, and build quality. And it succeeds. | |
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.” | |
