Best Overall: Subaru WRX Read more

The Honda Civic Si may look goofy, but it's worst sin is the sloppy suspension and Buick-like steering. Honda totally blew it. Read more

I am okay with your assessment of the Focus/Fiesta Read more

So, I have a question. I love the crazy fun of the Abarth, but it's too small. I love the FRS/BRZ, but they don't have enough space for crap. I test drove the GTI, but it was a hypercompetent snoozefest. I found the Fiesta ST not as engaging as I'd expected. Read more
