Consumer reports puts cars through more than 50 tests over the rough roads on the highways and breaking and braking tests and the emergency handling. While many cars score high a surprising number havent made the grade recently. One of the cars is the ago raw rlx. It costs 55,000, but it is just not competitive. For 16,000 less Consumer Reports says the chevrolet imala delivers a comfortable ride and has hams better. Handles better. Another we dont recommend is the honda cross tour. It has the flexibility of an suv and the cargo space of a station wagon. The problem is it doesnt really do any this well. Some small nissans scored too low as well. The Nissan Sentra is good on gas, but has handling is not agile and it is noisy and the front seats are uncomfortable. The nissan versa has the same drawbacks and it it hasnt proved reliable. Consumer reports doesnt recommend the least expensive car, the yaris. The yaris is vary liable and fuel efficient, but it feels cheap and unpleasant to drive.
