This ranking is based on our analysis of 43 published reviews and test drives of the Cadillac SRX, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. With a new 3.6-liter V6 engine, reviewers now love everything about the 2012 Cadillac SRX: its powerful engine, upscale interior and bold exterior. Most car reviewers said the 2011 Cadillac SRX's interior exuded luxury amenities, but disliked its underpowered, standard 3.0-liter engine. Those opinions have changed for the 2012 model year, as has fitted all 2012 Cadillac SRX trims with a 3.6-liter V6 engine test drivers call That smooth, powerful and quiet.

One is the 2012 SRX's low fuel economy ratings. Second, the Cadillac SRX is expensive. Last year, adding these features easily Increased the 2011 Cadillac SRX's bottom line to more than $ 40,000. If you want to beat the Cadillac SRX's fuel economy numbers, the Audi Q5 is a good option. That in case, check out the Land Rover LR2.

Chevrolet Sonic (2012)

Chevrolet had a Honda Fit and a Ford Fiesta on hand for comparison, and the Sonic held up well.

The Honda, the which is geared shorter, feels better at low engine speeds. The Sonic is an economy car, the which means sacrifices in creature comforts. Both sedan and hatchback Sonic share the same 99.4-inch wheelbase. The four-door, at 173.1 inches, is 14.1 inches longer than the hatch but loses in the space race with 14 cubic feet of trunk space to the hatch's 19.

There is also a slot for the cargo to slide into cover behind the rear seats. Chevrolet will not divulge pricing Sonic until the fall on-sale date gets closer, only hinting That Will it be competitive in the segment.

Also like the Fiesta, we're guessing the will of the Sonic hatch command a premium for its looks more attractive, although We have to say That the sedan Sonic manages to look something less than dumpy-a huge achievement in this segment. Even in base LS trim, the Sonic comes with the aforementioned wheels, plus air conditioning, power locks, keyless entry, stability control, and an impressive 10 bags of water. As part of GM's restructuring, the Sonic Will be assembled in Lake Orion, Michigan.
