Best 2011 Cars Under $20,000: 2011 Mazda3

Best 2011 Cars Under $20,000: 2011 Mazda3

Fuel efficient, fun to drive, starting price of just $15,800.  No wonder nearly half of all Mazda models sold in North America are the Mazda3, which has been racking up awards — the latest of which is as a “top safety pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), for achieving  the highest crash

Best 2011 Cars Under $20,000: 2011 Kia Optima Mid-Size Sedan

Best 2011 Cars Under $20,000: 2011 Kia Optima Mid-Size Sedan

The all-new 2011 Kia Optima has been collecting notable awards that would be impressive even for a sedan that costs a good bit more than this class-leading, family friendly, fuel efficient sedan with a starting price of $18,995. Most important for my money is that the 2011 Kia Optima is the first Korean-built vehicle to

2011 Best Buy Car: 2011 Chevrolet Malibu Mid-Size Sedan

2011 Best Buy Car: 2011 Chevrolet Malibu Mid-Size Sedan

The eagerly-awaited extended range hybrid Chevrolet Volt has been getting all the headlines lately, along with many of the top car awards.  But so has the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu, which the Volt  looks like and even feels like behind the wheel, although the fuel efficiency of the two models is very different.  I test drove

Best 2011 Cars Under $20,000: 2011 Subaru Legacy

Best 2011 Cars Under $20,000: 2011 Subaru Legacy

Subaru has a well-deserved reputation for safe and sturdy all-wheel drive vehicles, especially wagons.  What’s getting attention these days is Subaru technology, fuel economy, creature comforts and design, especially the family-friendly 2011 Subaru Legacy sedan, which has just been named “Car of the Month” by NADA Guides. The Subaru Legacy has broken all sales records

Chevy Volt Buyers Can Get Free Charging Units

The long-awaited Chevrolet Volt goes on sale Fall  2010.  A real problem for owners of electric cars and plug-in hybrids is that recharging stations are still limited.  General Motors and its partners will reduce what’s called range anxiety by making 15,000 charging stations available to Chevy Volt buyers.  These are heavy-duty 240-volt charging stations, which
