Fun and frugal: the best of both worlds. It's typically hard to come by, but occasionally, Goldilocks syndrome sets in. The 2017 Honda Civic Type R may classify as one example. Official fuel economy estimates released for the 2017 Civic Type R reveal an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city, 28 mpg highway...

What's the furthest you've ever driven on a single tank of gas? 300 miles? 400? 500 even? With modest fuel tank sizes and so-so economy, most cars sold in the U.S. won't go a great deal further than this. Some of the special diesel models sold in Europe will though, and a model that's certainly...

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST offers an impressive combination of performance and price, outdoing the Fiat 500 Abarth, Chevy Sonic RS, and Mini Cooper S on the numbers, and, based on our first driving impressions, possibly on the road as well.

BMW will be launching six new diesels in the U.S. over the next two years. That's great news for people that like torque and MPGs but maybe aren't interested in going hybrid. Fisker has investigated the cause of the fires of a group of Karmas after flooding during Hurricane Sandy, and claims the...

Whether you’re fan of its styling or not, the people behind the 2013 Lincoln MKZ deserve a lot of credit. The sedan, in its hybrid form, has just had its gas mileage rated by the EPA at 45 mpg across the board--city, highway and combined. This puts it ahead of most rivals in the mid-size...
