The Best Cars of 2018
Written by
The cars you choose to drive say a lot about your personality and lifestyle. They should be fun to drive, fit your family’s needs, and look good doing it. You’re also likely to need them to get you from point A to B and back again without breaking down too often or costing you a fortune to repair. Whether you want a reliable sedan, a family-friendly SUV, or something with a little more zip, the list of best cars below is sure to have you covered.
What it is:
The Toyota RAV4 is the king of utility vehicles because it does the job better than almost any other car on the market. It’s spacious, fuel efficient, and comfortable for passengers. Plus, it has Toyota’s signature reliability and is available with a full suite of safety features. The RAV4’s only real drawback is that it isn’t thrilling to drive for enthusiasts, but for those who need a car to commute and run errands, the RAV4 is hard to beat.
For those who love to get behind the wheel of a sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette is one of our top picks. Its combination of a big-hitting V8 engine, a manual transmission, and excellent handling gives it a distinct advantage over nearly every car in its class. Plus, the Corvette’s mid-engine design is great for accelerating from 0-60 in less than four seconds and providing an exhilarating driving experience.
If you want the perks of an electric vehicle but don’t want to sacrifice performance or cargo capacity, check out our 2023 Volvo V60 Recharge. This plug-in hybrid has a large battery that provides 41 miles of all-electric range and has enough power to get you from 0-60 in under five seconds. It’s also quiet, roomy, and will allow you to make the commute in comfort without polluting the atmosphere.
The Mercedes E-Class has been a Goldilocks mainstay in the luxury segment for decades, offering a mix of refinement, efficiency, and power that’s just right for any driver. It’s also a very safe car, earning 5-star crash-test ratings in almost all of the categories.
