2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Critics may bash American brains when it comes to engineering, but owners have a different story to tell. I have had my issue with Asian vehicles and had lasting luck with domestics, so I use my own experiences to guide my mechanical judgement. see full Chevrolet HHR review

5-speed manual FWD		 Chevy and GM are getting lots of bad press - some deserved, some not. see full Chevrolet HHR review
2007 4dr Wagon 149-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 GM has had some bad press lately-but quality at GM has improved substantially over the past 5 years or so- and with a 5 year 60,000 power train warranty (I am at 29000 miles), I feel covered. see full Chevrolet HHR review

2013 2dr Convertible 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 One of the really sad things about the Fiat 500 is the way FCA is handling the brand here in the US. The Fiat 500 is actually many different cars, some good and some not good at all, but to most American buyers a Fiat 500 is just a Fiat 500. Nobody really knows if you are talking about the 500 hatchback (a true retro economy car), the 500L sedan/wagon (the dual clutch gearbox has not worked any better for Fiat than for Ford in the Focus/Fiestia), the Abarth (a real fun car for drivers only), or the 500X (Built on Jeep running gear With more style than off-road performance). Only the Abarth stands slightly apart since it is devoid of Fiat badges and costs a good deal more than most other "500" models. see full Fiat 500 review
2012 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Fiat used to have a so-so reputation because their cars rusted. This car has a 'not-rust-through' guarantee for something like ten or twelve years and is totally galvanized metal. It is a very stylish car, too. see full Fiat 500 review
