"Top Picks" for 2011 by Consumer Reports:
* BUDGET CAR: Honda Fit. ESC is now astandard feature in the 2011 Fit ($16,020 to $16,730) which helpssolidify this versatile subcompact hatchback as the best in its classand a great value. The Fit provides an amazing amount of interior spacefor its size, aided by a flexible rear-seat design in which seatbackscan fold down or the lower cushion can flip up to open an areastretching from floor to ceiling. Agile handling makes the Fitenjoyable to drive. And it pays back with excellent fuel economy: 30mpg overall with an automatic transmission, 33 mpg with a manual.
* SMALL CAR: Hyundai Elantra. Redesignedfor 2011 the Elantra ($18,445) delivers a lot for the money. With itsmakeover, this well-rounded sedan is now more stylish and engaging todrive. The Elantra provides fairly nimble handling; a decent ride, asmooth, responsive powertrain; a well-finished interior; and arelatively roomy rear seat. It's also miserly on gas, achieving 29 mpgoverall in CR's tests and 39 mpg on the highway. Reliability for theredesigned model is expected to be as good as the previous one.
* FAMILY SEDAN: Nissan Altima. Thisis the second year in a row that the Altima ($23,970 to $30,335) hasbeen the Consumer Reports Top Pick for Family Sedan. The Altimaprovides an impressive balance of comfort and performance whiledelivering some of the best fuel economy in its class: 26 mpg overallfor four-cylinder models and 24 mpg with a V6. The Hybrid version gets32 mpg. Its comfortable ride, secure handling and spirited accelerationmake the Altima enjoyable to drive. And it has a roomy, well-finished,and very quiet interior. The four-cylinder models earned anabove-average reliability Rating, and the V6 model was average.
* SMALL SUV: Toyota RAV4. TheRAV4 ($25,405 to $31,435) returns to the Top Picks list for the fourthtime in the past five years. Its winning formula includes a roomyinterior, agile handling, and very good fuel economy for its class. Thefour-cylinder version provides 23 mpg overall, one of the best gasmileage of any automatic, nonhybrid SUV CR has tested. The spirited V6version accelerates about as quickly as the Cadillac CTS and VolkswagenGTI and gets only 1 mpg less than the four-cylinder model. A smallthird-row seat is optional.
* GREEN CAR: Toyota Prius. Holdingthe title for Top Pick for Green Car for the eighth year in a row, thePrius ($26,750) is a pleasant car to drive, with a roomy interior, acomfortable ride, hatchback versatility, and excellent crash-testresults. Software problems in the antilock brake system affected thefirst-year reliability of this redesigned model, but those problemshave been fixed.
* FAMILY SUV: Kia Sorento. TheSorento ($26,590 to $32,390) was redesigned for 2011 and is now a morewell-rounded SUV. The roomy, nicely finished interior includescomfortable seats and easy-to-use controls. An optional third-row seat,although tight, allows the Sorento to carry up to seven passengers. Thesmooth V6 engine provides good performance and fuel economy-20 mpgoverall-that's as efficient as the base four-cylinder engine. TheSorento is also stocked with an inviting list of features for itsprice, making it one of the bargains of this class.
* SPORTY CAR: Ford Mustang. Oneof the high points of the Mustang ($28,880 to $43,880) is the strongrumbling V8 engine that propels CR's coupe and convertible test cars.It delivers scorching acceleration, a great exhaust sound, and goodfuel economy for the class. For 2011, the Mustang received a refined,punchy V6, which provides strong acceleration and a decent 24 mpgoverall with a manual transmission.
* FAMILY HAULER: Toyota Sienna. TheSienna ($35,810 to $38,201) has earned a place in the Top Picks listthree out of the past five years. Redesigned for 2011, the currentmodel is still a very comfortable versatile minivan with excellentreliability. The spacious cabin can seat up to eight people. The enginedelivers lively performance and decent fuel economy. And the Sienna isstill the only minivan available with all-wheel drive.
* SPORTS SEDAN: Infiniti G37. TheG37's ($37,225) inviting combination of agile handling, blisteringacceleration, and a luxurious interior makes it one of ourhighest-scoring sedans and earned it a spot on the Top Picks list forthe fifth straight year. It's fun to drive on a twisty road but isstill a fairly comfortable cruiser on the highway. A snug cabin andsmall trunk are the only notable weaknesses. Rear-wheel drive isstandard, all-wheel drive optional.
* PICKUP TRUCK: Chevrolet Avalanche. TheAvalanche ($47,435) is a versatile crew-cab model with a unified bedand cab that helps give it a steady, comfortable, quiet ride. And theinnovative partition between the cab and the bed can be folded toextend the cargo area into the back of the cab. That allows the truckto carry longer cargo. A three-piece bed cover provides a weather-tightand lockable cargo area. CR recommends getting the optional backupcamera to reduce the truck's large blind zone. |
