Reviews SummaryDriving is fun. You might not realize this because of the vehicles you’ve owned over the course of your lifetime, but it is true. And the 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI is among the most entertaining rides this side of $50,000. | |
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. | |
