Reviews SummaryWant a basic but stylish car? How about a hybrid, or even a plug-in hybrid? What about an undeniably luxurious sedan, or a genuine sports sedan? The 2018 Ford Fusion lineup has them all, ranging in price from just over $22,000 all the way up to just under $44,000. | |
Reviews SummaryThe popular Honda Civic went through a major redesign for 2016. Both the coupe and sedan got a new look, new technology, and a new turbocharged engine option. This year, there’s a new model in the mix, and it’s the first Civic Hatchback Honda has sold in the U.S. since 2005. With its extra cargo space and sport-oriented tweaks, it’s aimed squarely at the stereotypical Civic buyer: someone who wants a practical, fun-to-drive compact car. I spent a week putting a Civic Hatchback Sport through it’s paces—from stop-and-go commuting to a highway slog with a hatch full of cargo—and enjoyed every minute. While any Civic is a safe bet, the Hatchback offers even more to love. | |
