Reviews SummaryThe Volkswagen Golf practically defines the hatchback, and the latest version is no exception. With a refined interior and an engaging, let’s-take-the-back-road driving demeanor, the new Golf is a fun yet practical little car. Don’t expect it to be cheap, though, especially if you want modern creature comforts. | |
Reviews SummaryHonda does lots of things really well, especially in the area of creating fun, affordable, and practical little cars. The redesigned 2015 Fit is yet another hit from Honda, the rare subcompact that feels more like a reward than a penalty box to own and drive. | |
