2005-15 Toyota Tacoma

Tacoma's performance, accommodations, off-road prowess, and utility are competitive with most rivals. The crew cab's available curtain side airbags are an important safety plus. New and updated [...]

2007-14 Volvo S80

Stylish and comfortable, Volvo's redesigned S80 nevertheless cannot match the brand cachet and the sportiness or pure luxury of the best in this class. Regular six-cylinder versions trail rivals [...]

2005-14 Ford Mustang

We prefer the GT versions, but any Mustang has all-American bang-for-the-buck appeal. The main letdowns are low-rent cabin appointments and occasional workmanship lapses. V6 versions are close to [...]
