The family sedan segment is as broad and varied as it gets.
The Chevy Malibu and Honda Accord are the big guns in the class--the Accord on sheer interior volume, the Malibu on heft and weight, though both seem more maneuverable than they may look.
The Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata are kin under the skin, but the Sonata Hybrid is on sale now, and it's a major threat to the Fusion Hybrid's budding sales.
The Subaru Legacy is bigger than ever, and more refined too; with all-wheel drive on its options list, it's a top choice for anyone who lives next to Canada or at any elevation over a few thousand feet.
