What type of driving experience do you prefer?


Quick acceleration, crisp handling, and responsive steering are important in any vehicle. If you're an automotive enthusiast who enjoys driving and wants to feel the road and sense every aspect of the driving experience, those parts will probably be high on your priority list, so you'll want a vehicle that excels in them. Most sports cars and many coupes, of course, fit the bill, but some make you sacrifice space for carrying passengers and cargo.

Many buyers were torn when considering this question, because they wanted a sporty, fun-to-drive car but needed the practicality of a four-door sedan or wagon. Today, there are a number of sedans and wagons that provide a good balance between the two. A common trade-off for sportier cars, however, is a firm, sometimes uncomfortable ride.

Many drivers place more importance on a comfortable driving experience. They like a softer ride, luxurious seats, plenty of convenience features, and isolation from the outside world. With the proliferation of luxury vehicles in recent years, you can now find a wide range of models that fit this mold, from family sedans to SUVs.

Perhaps you only need basic transportation--a reliable, economical, fuel-efficient car for commuting or to get you from point A to point B as comfortably as possible. While on paper there are a number of models that could fill this need, it's still important to do your research. Within a given price range there are big differences in reliability, fuel economy, comfort, and overall value. The best way to size up a vehicle's driving experience is to read the reviews in the profiles, then do a thorough test drive.
