Reviews SummaryThe 2015 MINI Cooper adds a 4-door variant for those looking for more doors, but not necessarily more functionality. The basic MINI formula is all there: smaller stature, quirky styling, and plenty of options to complement the athletic chassis that's just so much fun to drive. If you can limit yourself to certain options, you can make a MINI affordable and fun—a rare combo in the small-car segment. | |
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. | |
