I have been in 2 Civics since 2005. I crave low cost of ownership, reliability and zippiness. Our other vehicle is my wife's primary, a 2011 CRV (love the same criteria, but sluggish when you need to get from 30 to 60mph however). We've been hunting for a full-time suv/crossover...

I have previously owned/driven a 1997 Mercedes C230 and 2006 Mercedes E350 and performed most of my own light-to-moderate...

I'm trying to decide between a Mazda 3 and a toyota corrolla. The mazda is clearly sportier and has a higher end audio system, but the Toyota seems more reliable and my family has a relationship with a dealership that's just around the corner. Any thoughts anyone can give would...

I've got one of those VWs -- a 2012 JSW TDI surrounded by a cloud of toxic death each time I drive to the store. And, if rumors and court documents hold true, VW will soon ask for it back, while sending me flowers, a nice note and a big...

I've driven the Audi A6, BMW 535i, Lexus ES. My wife wasn't impressed with the ES at all. The BMW was nice but a little low to get in and out of and I'm concerned about BMW's reliability. The A6 was okay but I don't know very much about that...

A utilitarian hauler for dogs, camping/canoeing gear, groceries, etc. Easy access for a large, older dog is a must. Rear seating, don't much care. My Honda Element has fit the bill perfectly and would buy another in a heartbeat, but those with low-ish miles are few and far between. Looked...

Ok this is a lot of variables. I have a prius now which I have camped in, and it was quite doable. I love the good gas mileage and the fact with it being a hybrid that I could, if need be, leave it running for a while if the...

Currently without a vehicle because previous car became a write-off courtesy of a drunk driver. Thankfully the car was unoccupied at the time. I am a 5 foot tall senior woman and will be the principal driver. I am most concerned with good visibility and low maintenance.

-Fuel Efficient
-Small but spacious
-Hatchback

An idea of what I've been looking at are the Mazda3 Hatchback, Honda Fit, Ford Fusion Hybrid (not a hatchback), Prius. Somewhat sporty, but power is a low priority. I love the Subaru Impreza Hatchback, but I think it's just a little...
