The Best Cars of 2015
Written by
Buying a new car is one of the most important decisions you can make. It is not only a major investment, but it’s also an essential part of everyday life. Ideally, you’ll want a car that’s easy to drive, spacious, practical, and safe for your loved ones. However, choosing the wrong model can leave you with a clunker that’s prone to breaking down and costing you money in repairs.
When it comes to high-end luxury vehicles, there are a few standouts. For example, the Chevrolet Corvette is probably the best-looking premium sporty car. While the original design had its detractors, the current engineering philosophy is pleasing to owners. In addition to its good looks, Chevrolet Corvettes have surprisingly low price tags. Plus, the interior materials are of the Cadillac quality.
The Mazda3 generation ranked second last year and is a solid choice. The latest generation of this car has added more room, improved rust protection, and a more fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine. It’s especially hard to find the MazdaSpeed3 version for this price, but it does exist. This car was redesigned in 2014, giving it a fresh look and improved performance. It is offered in sedan and hatchback configurations.
The Hyundai Sonata has nine trim levels, including a hybrid model. The engine options range from a base engine with decent performance to a powerful turbocharged engine for high-performance driving. Its interiors are made of high-quality materials and offer a good selection of standard safety features. The latest version of the car is also expected to include a performance version.
The Honda Insight is another great option in the midsize sedan segment. Its wedge shape and spacious interior make it one of the most practical cars in its price range. In addition, it boasts incredible fuel economy. It’s also the best hybrid in its price range, and it seats up to five passengers. The newest model, the Insight EX, starts at $26,855 and comes with a Hybrid 1.5L I4 engine and Front Wheel Drive. It is expected to return 55 mpg city and 49 mpg highway.
The Honda Accord is a comfortable and reliable family hauler, and it’s also extremely entertaining behind the wheel. This 5-seater comes in 9 trim levels. The base Honda Accord Sport 1.5T CVT is $30,075, and it has a 1.5L I4 Turbo engine. It has a spacious cabin, a roomy trunk, and a fun drive. It’s also a great car for teens.
When choosing a teen’s first vehicle, safety should be the top priority. Teenagers have higher crash rates than older drivers, so selecting the best car is critical. Fortunately, experts from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Consumer Reports have partnered to come up with lists of used cars for teen drivers that are safe and reliable. The list includes cars that are fuel-efficient and safe, and have features that can help keep teen drivers safe.
