For years, toyota has won this category. But this has overtaken it. It has a powerful engine, it does great in crash tests, very reliable. And the great things you get inside of it, and it feels luxurious, like you spent a lot more than you did. Reporter toyota did earn two spots on the list. The camry and the Toyota Sienna in minivans. A vehicle needs to drive beautifully, a strong record of reliability and makes owners happies and needs to be safe. Reporter subaru also nabbed two spots. We like subarus because theyre practical, fuel efficient, and for such small cars on the outside, they feel large on the inside. Reporter only two americans made the list this year. The chevy impala and the ford f150. Ford took a big gamble by switching its f150 from steel to aluminum construction. It has better acceleration, and faired well in the crash test. Reporter and finally the miata is impractical. The trunk is tiny. But you take it out on a sunny day, its more fun than cars twice its price.
