Powerful Small SUVs

Powerful Small SUVs

Do you remember Magnum P.I.'s famous Ferrari 308 GTS? The famous red car packed 230 horsepower in the 1980s -- an amount that seemed massive at the time. But that's hardly enough by today's standards (most of which is due to the fact that cars are so much heavier). Even current crossovers pack more than that.

Hybrid SUV Roundup

Steer clear of SUVs if you want to save gas, right? Not necessarily. SUVs are getting on the high-mpg bandwagon and these hybrid versions are leading the way.

2008 Ford Focus

Love This Car

by SPROUT618 | Jul 26, 20081-10

I bought a 4 door manual and I absolutely love it. With the manual transmission I'm getting up to 41mpg on the highway. The interior is very sharp ... overall this was the best purchase for my family!

2008 Cadillac CTS

Great All Around Vehicle

by ToPilot | Jun 27, 20081-10

Great handling and commendable fuel economy for a luxury car. Anyone thinking of purchasing a foreign luxury vehicle should take a second look at the CTS.

2008 Volkswagen Rabbit

I Love My VW

by jrspeck | Sep 29, 20071-10

I have owned various VW models over the years and I believe this one is the best ever. The overall quality is excellent, performance is far better than I had expected.

New Car Buying vs. Leasing

Car leasing is a lot like renting an apartment; you pay a monthly fee to use it but don't own it -- and aren't making payments toward ownership. The leased vehicle remains the property of the lessor -- the company that issued the lease. As with an apartment rental contract, car leasing will have a fixed period -- usually two or three years. You're obliged to make monthly payments for the length of the contract. While you can get out of the lease before then if you want to, there will typically be extra costs -- for example, an "early termination charge" -- spelled out in the car leasing contract you sign.

New Car Contracts: Read the Fine Print

Is Your Car Financing Upside-Down?

2010 Chevrolet Equinox


The Chevrolet Equinox is redesigned for 2010.That makes this the second generation of this crossover SUV.Though sized more like a midsize SUV, the Equinox has pricing and features of a compact SUV, though now with some luxury and technology amenities not expected in its price class.

The redesigned Equinox is about the same size as the outgoing model.But it has different styling inside and out and two new engine choices.The base engine is an upgraded version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder that powered the last model.Thanks to direct injection, it now has more power and gets class-leading fuel economy of 32 mpg on the highway. Lots of sound insulation makes it quieter than most four-cylinders...

Editor's Picks

2010 Audi A4

The 2009 Audi A4 is a new car, as closely related to the recent A5 as to the outgoing A4. At once familiar as an Audi yet obviously new, it is what you can't see that is most changed. The 2009 A4 is wider and longer but no taller than its predecessor. It's larger inside with the most notable improvement to rear-seat legroom and it has a bigger trunk that is easier to load. A large increase in wheelbase, which is more than six inches longer than before, increases cabin space and improves ride quality and handling.

2010 Subaru Forester

The redesigned 2009 Subaru Forester is the third generation of the popular crossover utility vehicle.The Forester competes with the Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4 among others.Its style used to be distinctive, but it's now less so, as its shape has morphed toward the others, while theirs has morphed toward the Forester's. There are two engines, both horizontally opposed four-cylinders displacing 2.5 liters; but the 170-horsepower base engine is single overhead cam, while the 224-horsepower turbocharged XT model has twin cams.
