The 2014 Toyota Corolla keeps its frugal, responsible core but adds a lot more verve. |
The 2014 Chevy Cruze is comfortable and practical--and now it offers a diesel engine that can return 40 mpg in real-world use. |
Even without considering the top-performance ST, the 2014 Ford Focus is one of the best-driving small cars on the market--with the impression of being an accessible premium car, not a spruced-up econobox. |
The 2014 Honda Civic brings better refinement back to the lineup, but there's more to come, we're told. |
The Hyundai Elantra already had the bases covered--we'll see if a new engine and new tuning draws it even closer to best in class. |
The 2014 Mazda 3 stands out from the small-car crowd, with its sport-car-influenced proportions and sporty driving experience; but its tight, noisy cabin means that it’s not at all the best pick for pragmatists. |
