2013 Fiat 500

Posted: 04 Oct 2012 03:37 PM PDT

Stylish, at times sporty, and at others efficient, the 2013 Fiat 500 brings a lot to the table considering its small size. But can it overcome Fiat's previous reputation for poor reliability, especially in a market teeming with alternatives from America, Asia, and Europe?With pert, upright styling that wraps a compact passenger...


2013 Ford F-150

Posted: 04 Oct 2012 02:02 PM PDT

One of the highest-rated pickup trucks here at The Car Connection, the Ford F-150 earns its keep, year after year, with class-leading towing, luxury and tech features, and as of late, its improving gas mileage. With King Ranch editions, EcoBoost V-6 turbos, and a Harley-Davidson model wearing basic black like it owns it, how can the...


Ford F-150

Posted: 04 Oct 2012 02:00 PM PDT

The best-selling vehicle in America isn't a sedan, a crossover, or a crossover.

With thousands of potential versions offered, the Ford F-150 competes with just about every pickup truck...

Suzuki SX4

Posted: 04 Oct 2012 10:11 AM PDT

The Suzuki SX4 is a family of subcompact sedans and hatchbacks, powered by economical four-cylinder engines, in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive versions. It replaced the homely Aerio model in Suzuki's lineup and also coincided with the phasing-out of Suzuki's Reno and Forenza models, which were both built by Daewoo. The SX4 is built by Suzuki...


2013 Suzuki SX4

Posted: 04 Oct 2012 10:11 AM PDT

The Suzuki SX4 is a blip on the U.S. market, but it's probably not gotten the attention it deserves. Available as a sedan or as a hatchback--the latter body comes in Crossover and SportBack models--the SX4 has above-average handling, lots of standard features, and good interior room, making it a fine alternative to some of the other...

Toyota Matrix

Posted: 03 Oct 2012 04:57 PM PDT

The Toyota Matrix is a compact hatchback introduced by Toyota back in 2003. The vehicle was spawned from a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors and was assembled by the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) in Fremont, California, until that plant was closed. The GM version was sold as the now defunct Pontiac Vibe; production...


2013 Toyota Matrix

Posted: 03 Oct 2012 04:48 PM PDT

Compared to sedans, hatchbacks tend not only to be a bit more versatile, but also sportier, and that's exactly the tack that the 2013 Toyota Matrix takes. Appealing to a somewhat younger, more active crowd, the Matrix delivers with more functionality than a small sedan, but from behind the wheel it's not quite as sporty as the design...
