| | | | With the arrival of spring comes the last new-car auto show of the event season, held in New York City. In case you're inspired by the latest wave of new models previewed in this newsletter, we've assembled our best deals on both new and used cars that meet our stringent criteria to be recommended. And, celebrating the warm weather, we present our new motorcycle reliability findings and convertible car buying guide. | | | | |  | | | Special features
| The most reliable motorcycles
| | Yes, the artfully sculpted lines of a BMW motorcycle and the throaty rumble of a Harley-Davidson V-twin motor can stir your senses. But they're often accompanied by more problems than motorcycles from Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha. See the findings in our new survey looking at reliability and owner satisfaction, as well as providing maintenance tips. | | | 2013 New York International Auto Show
| | The Cars team covered NYIAS with words, photos, and video, capturing highlights of the many updated and all-new models making their debut in the Big Apple. Notable unveilings included the Acura MDX, Buick Regal, Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Honda Odyssey, Infiniti QX60, Jeep Cherokee, Kia Soul, Toyota Highlander, and much more.

| Best new car deals
| | A great price isn't necessarily a good deal if the vehicle doesn't measure up. This month's featured vehicle has an attractive customer rebate that can save you extra money, and it is recommended by Consumer Reports. See all current deals on recommended cars. | | | Best used car deals
| | We've scoured through the used car market and put together a list of best deals on 2008-2012 vehicles in 10 categories. In making these selections, we focused on models that show the greatest depreciation from their original retail price and their current value, then culled the list to just those vehicles that meet our stringent criteria to be Recommended, including good performance in our tests, average or above safety scores, and average or better reliability. See all current deals on recommended used vehicles. | | | Convertible buying guide
| | Buying a convertible has little to do with practicality and everything to do with looking and feeling good with an open-air driving experience. Modern convertibles come with fewer compromises than the ragtops of yore. But, the thrills and conveniences do vary. Check out our latest convertible Ratings and buying guide. | | | Consumer Reports' auto experts talk cars
| | At the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), we saw dozens of new and improved cars. To help make sense of it all, Consumer Reports' automotive engineers Tom Mutchler and Gabe Shenhar discuss the highlights in the latest episode of our video podcast called "Talking Cars with Consumer Reports." The show is available through the iTunes store. Subscribe to the video or audio. | | | Road test: Honda Civic vs. Nissan Sentra
| | After decades of churning out hits, Honda hit a sour note with the 2012 Civic redesign. We panned its choppy ride, vague steering, cheap interior, and raucous road noise, among other faults. Honda has now released a freshened version of the Civic for 2013 that remedied most of our previous complaints. And we pit it against the all-new Nissan Sentra. | | | The disappointing dozen: Cars that fail our tests
| | Just as there are many good cars available, there are also many that fail miserably. These vehicles fall way below our threshold to be recommended. Take a look at our disappointing dozen–the cars Consumer Reports has recently tested with the lowest test scores. | | | | | | | | This e-mail was sent to you by ConsumerReports.org.
