I was looking forward to seeing the Honda Fit, for comparison purposes, and in doing some research I found a U.S. New & World Report ranking of the best subcompacts, and the magazine placed the Fit on the top of the list.
What I liked the most is how simple the Rio is.
So the new Subaru Ascent is not quirky, and its overall styling sameness in the SUV market will be, I predict, its strength.
A car review of the 2018 Subaru Outback – the triumphs and the characteristics worthy of complaint.
Jeff Rundles reviews the 11th generation Toyota Corolla and the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport.
These two vehicles are really nothing alike, as the first is a compact SUV/crossover and the second is a beefy compact hatchback, but since both (can) feature all-wheel-drive and off-road capabilities, and are priced very much alike, there are some similarities.

Toyota refreshed the look as they brought out the new 86, and they added a more power to this 2-door roadster: a 2.0-liter boxer 4-cylinder with some 205 hp.
It’s not that one is bad and the other good – for what they are these are both very fine vehicles. No, it’s that they are totally different, and appeal to a totally different clientele.
The nation’s largest retailer of used cars, CarMax, has more than doubled the percentage of dangerous, defective, unrepaired recalled used cars for sale, according to Used Car Roulette, a new report released last week by the Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety Foundation, MASSPIRG Education Fund and the Center for Auto Safety.
