If it had been up to me to dream up the BMW X3, it would’ve been exactly like my tester. Super dynamic, super enjoyable, but just like all the other Bimmers out there.

The 2010 Mazda CX-9 GT AWD no doubt remains an extremely interesting choice as far as medium-to-large SUVs and crossovers go. It’s sleek, functional, fairly sporty and roomy.

Sedan

If you have a taste for unpretentious luxury, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is precisely what you’re looking for. It boasts a large number of attributes that mostly meet our expectations for a premium compact sedan from Germany.

Sedan

The Ford Fusion’s mix of American and European styling is a success. It’s a family car designed for fans of the American automobile that might very well attract a few imported car enthusiasts.

I’m still astounded that young thrill-seeking drivers don’t consider this Subaru Impreza an option. It gives a lot of bang for much less buck than it deserves.

Hatchback

The 2011 Mazda2 is by no means a racing machine and the cargo area isn’t particularly big. It’s not all about numbers, though. It still feels lively and energetic thanks to an ultra-sharp steering, a pleasantly-calibrated suspension and superior soundproofing.

Refined, comfortable and on the right side of sporty, the 2010 Hyundai Tucson is definitely a lot of SUV for not a whole lot of money.

Sedan

The Licoln MKS offers everything luxury and performance aficionados could ever ask for, at a reasonable price. The only question buyers are likely to ask themselves is whether they should consider the Ford Taurus SHO, which closely resembles the MKS but sells less.

Sedan

The Acura RL is a surprisingly competent and very pleasant car. Performance is worthy, as is overall quality. However, it doesn’t have the refinement of its rivals and is more expensive – it’s a matter of taste more than anything else.

This little SX4 Aero offers a combination of features that is sure to please. However, I’m sure there are a lot of people who visit their local Suzuki dealer and go home empty-handed despite all its great qualities: it is very, very expensive.
