For many Americans, it offers a good compromise between low-priced sedans and compact crossover vehicles. And as it continues, the 2013 Kia Soul offers a stylish and value-priced alternative to the Nissan Cube, Nissan Juke... |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 12:30 PM PST  Ford dove back into the subcompact segment for 2011, launching the Fiesta five-door hatchback and four-door sedan as its first new entry that small since the unloved Aspire faded away more than a decade ago.

| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 12:00 PM PST  New for 2013, the Acura ILX is a compact, semi-sporty sedan that's meant to help Honda's luxury brand reach new buyers trading up to their first Acura: younger Generation Xers and most of Generation Y. It's the latest of several vehicles with which Acura hopes to polish its brand image and, like most Acuras, based on the underlying technology of a... |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:30 AM PST  The compact-car segment has more sporty, fun-to-drive entries now than in many years, perhaps ever. But for those who don't view cars as appliances, the Mazda3 has always stood out as the best-handling and sportiest-feeling compact in the class. Many other cars fall on the fun-to-drive side of the scale--we're thinking the Ford Focus, the... |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:23 AM PST  In the burgeoning compact crossover market, the Hyundai Tucson has a lot of ground to gain on longer-established nameplates like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Escape; but it's gaining fast. The Tucson competes directly against those segment leaders, yet it's typically been more aggressively priced, and a bit better-equipped for the money... |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 10:47 AM PST  The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has a split personality, but it's by choice. Faced with the boom in small crossovers and the popularity of the seven-passenger Santa Fe until it was dropped in 2009, Hyundai's shut down its Veracruz nameplate, and expanded the Santa Fe brand to include two body styles--the two-row Santa Fe Sport, and the... |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 10:01 AM PST  The Hyundai Santa Fe has been on sale in the U.S. since 2001, and it's grown from its original compact size. And actually, the all-new 2013 model, the third generation of Santa Fe, comes in two different sizes: a mid-size Santa Fe Sport and a large Santa Fe, with the latter offering three rows and competing against the Ford Explorer, Toyota... |
