"Sales and profits" Which translates to the car that MOST people like/want, compared to other cars that are higher priced, quicker, better road feel, or whatever. The cars that are quicker, etc. are bought by fewer people, including car enthusiasts, who sometimes seem to HATE Toyota. Personally, I have no problems with the other cars in this class, but my preference ... Read More...

Chevy did not put any 3.4L engines in the 2007 Impala. Perhaps you bought yours used and the original engine was swapped? Read More...

The problem with the new Impala (as opposed to the previous model -pre 2006) is that the gas mileage is a lot lower. We were averaging 28 mpg on the 2004 model vs. 24.5 on the 2007 model with the SAME driving mix. Read More...

And we're still outselling the Civic! Not any more Mack. Check out the November sales. The Civic outsold the Corolla. Oh! Better get used to being number 2. Especially with the very underpowered new Corolla being released. http://www.hondanews.com/categories/1097/releases/4381 http://www.toyota.com/about/news/corporate/2007/12/03-1-sales.html ...

Bad steering, cheap interior, base engine needs another gear on the automatic for highway cruising and the upgraded engine has both disappointing performance and disappointing fuel economy. Base engine needs another gear (for automatic) - I suppose it would improve fuel economy, but it the '09 Corolla's fuel economy beats the current Civic. From the Car ... Read More...

I would look for a certified 2007 Impala with the 3.5 litre 6. I had a 2006 model and it consistantly got around 20 mpg in the city and 30-32 on the road. Why put up with a small 4cyl compact car when you can be more comfortable, get the same or better gas mileage and hold more people and luggage in an Impala for less money. A new Impala is throwing money down the drain considering ... Read More...

The sticker on my 2007 LS 4dr,AT, was $14640. I qualified for a $2000 rebate and a $500 "conquest" rebate.14640 - 2500= 12140. Which was the cash price. To complicate matters, I traded in our 2005 Trailblazer, which I owed some money on, but came out ahead in the trade in. All said and done, I got the Cobalt for just over $8K. I financed and put nothing down. Joel Read More...

IMO, the only two in this list that somewhat compare are the Corolla and the Cobalt. They are both small, basic cars with a 4cyl engine and choice of 5spd or auto. As said again and again, the Cobalt will be more 'fun' to drive and feel more powerful, but wont be put together as well as the Corolla. If you want basic, no frills, non exciting, fuel efficient transportation, ... Read More...

CR doesn't rate the price of cars. So the fact that, for example, one compact costs $2000 less than another doesn't factor into its rankings. True. CR ... ranks the Jetta ... above the Corolla. Hmmm, let's check that Oct. 2007 issue of CR again. CR makes clear that in addition to the ranking score, the vehicle's reliability is key to getting a recommendation. Only ... Read More...
