Reviews SummaryEven after a full redesign last year for the Cruze, Chevy felt like there was still something missing. To add some utility to its compact sedan, a sloping rear hatch was added to let it try and compete with segment stalwarts like the Mazda3 and the Honda Civic. For extra competitive advantage, all Cruze trims now come with Chevy’s Teen Driver mode as well. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2016 Lexus ES 350 improves slightly on the complete overhaul of the car last year. A new grille and bumpers wrap a car that's built for comfort. A supremely quiet interior and easy tech features highlight a car that's so sedate it has a habit of fading too far into the background. It won't provide the thrills of others in its class, but there's enough to consider it when shopping for a quiet, luxury ride. | |
