I like to read consumer reports because 1. cars are really expensive and 2. I am a safety freak. The annual auto issue came in the mail and here are some of the highlights:
Dodge viper is the highest rated performance car of the year.
Honda accord is best overall model.
Safety: "ESC is... the greatest advance in auto safety since the safety belt."
"If all cars had ESC (electronic stability control) some 10,000 lives a year would be saved."
Greenest car is Toyota prius.
Best upscale sedan is Infiniti G35 (as usual.)
Most costly model due to maintainance and depreciation is Mercedes SL550
There is a booger on my keyboard.
Best handling and fastest is Porcshe 911carrera S
Extended warranties are a poor value for the cost on both cars and almost every other product there is.
Honorable goes to Nissan Atima.
Dishonorable mention goes to Kia rio due to exceptionally poor reliability and safetly.
Highest rated manufacturer overall: Honda
If anybody wants information on a specific new or used vehicle I can post it.
