Reviews SummaryAfter decades of being the frumpy leader of the fuel-efficiency movement, the Prius emerges as one of the better-looking new cars to hit the market recently. This fifth-generation revelation in looks is then backed up by a huge jump in power without sacrificing any of the fuel-sipping ways of the earlier model. Add in impressive standard safety features and a reasonable suite of interior tech and comfort goodies, and you have an impressive hatchback that just now happens to be a hybrid. | |
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. | |
