The Big Test: 2014 Compact Sedans

Civic vs. Corolla vs. Dart vs. Elantra vs. Jetta vs. Mazda3 vs. Forte

Before we strapped into the left-front chairs of our competitors, we spent an afternoon grading rear-seat room, comfort, and cargo friendliness.

We installed forward and rear-facing child seats into the back seats, then assessed the remaining space for Uncle Frank to sit between them as he used to do when accompanying his twin niece and nephew in Sis' 2000 Corolla. We also assembled reams of data on safety, ownership costs, performance, and fuel economy.

Then all voters piloted each car around a loop involving 7 miles of city driving, 12 miles of freeway, and 7 miles of twisty canyon roads. Read on to see how the top five fared.

2015 Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon: Better, Faster

Yes, but price can be blown through the roof with options

If I'm anything, I'm realistic.

Spending a week driving two of the biggest vehicles on the road reminded me that some cars sell themselves. What I mean by that is that SUVs such as the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and 2015 GMC Yukon XL will sell regardless of what people like me say about them.

Customers want these capable 3-ton giants to haul around a few kids and associated gear for reasons beyond my comprehension.

So let me save you some time. Are these better than the previous generation of GM SUVs? Yes. Without question, the interiors are a huge step up, they look more intimidating, and they get slightly better gas mileage. There you have it -- stop reading and go buy one.
