Road Tests: Long-Term Tests

By driving selected vehicles over 20,000 miles in the course of a year, we evaluate the overall ownership experience — with particular focus on dealership service, vehicle quality and dependability. About Long-Term Tests

Long-Term Test: 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe
The Smart Fortwo has finally arrived, and we buy our own 70-hp microcar to discover if America is ready for fuel economy in a high-style package. Well, everybody is asking us questions already.

Long-Term Test: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI reshapes 305-hp rally performance into a hatchback profile, and we'll discover if the match-up works in the next 12 months and 20,000 miles of testing.
