Reviews SummaryHas the world moved beyond the full-size family sedan? The answer might be yes. Considering that a Chevrolet Impala provides just a few inches of extra space here and a few cubic feet of additional trunk room there, but at a cost in terms of purchase price and fuel economy, it's hard to justify a big car’s existence. Yet, the Impala exists, and within its segment, it is absolutely worthy of consideration. | |
Reviews SummaryThe latest version of the Kia Forte is an attractive vehicle with a low starting price. For those with the means, however, the sky's nearly the limit on the kinds of goodies with which you can furnish your Forte. Unfortunately, no matter how much money you spend, you can’t fix this car’s primary problem: a lousy rating in a tough new crash test. | |
