Reviews SummarySubaru’s redesigned 2015 Legacy is bigger, better looking and impressively dressed. But has something been lost in the translation? For this driving enthusiast, yes. | |
Reviews SummaryI’m intimate with the Chevrolet Cruze like few other car writers. I took my best friend’s 2012 Cruze from Baltimore to Las Vegas, past tractor trailers hauling coffins in Kansas and through lonely 100-mph stretches in Utah. Neither of us complained. That’s proof of how good small cars are these days. Now that the second-generation Cruze has arrived, it’s only more reason to revisit this car—well, at least for 400 miles across Connecticut and Massachusetts. | |
