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 Subaru WRX is a price-for-pound powerhouse in the sport compact category. The car's racing inspiration is evident in its turbocharged plant that rockets the car to 60 mph in 5 seconds, and its supremely tight setup is confident at any speed. Don't be confused, though: Although Subaru's car is named after its 1990s World Rally Championship cars, that's all history by now. What's left is a comfortable commuter with a serious wild side. | |
