Question >2016 10Best Cars ?

Member's, do you agree with their choices ?
Which ones do you like ? want ?
2016 10Best Cars Car & Driver

WE GO TO THE PLANTS AND PROVING GROUNDS TO FIND THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE CARS WE LOVE FOR 2016.

10BEST CARS

From the January 2016 issue


10Best involves more than drawing up lists of our sub-$80,000 favorites. Every year we enter our weeklong evalu­ation looking for new and improved combinations of virtues: value and engagement, performance and poise, sights and sounds, soul and character. The cars that earn this award do more than merely succeed on one or two criteria; they come to us fully formed, polished, complete. But how do they get that way? This year we delve deeper into our winners’ makings to better explain why they won. Who builds and develops these cars? Where? How do they go about it? What is a 10Bester truly made of? There are, of course, varied answers because cars are not simple things. You do not buy them on Etsy, and we’re not running a Maker Faire here. Automobiles are still the most complex and technologically advanced consumer products that man has ever devised. What follows in this section is our proof.

THE WINNERS:


BMW M235i

Cadillac CTS Vsport

Chevrolet Camaro

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 / GT350R

Honda Accord

Mazda MX-5 Miata

Mazda 3

Porsche Boxster / Cayman

Tesla Model S 70 / 70D

Volkswagen Golf / GTI / Golf R

If money were no object I would go with the Tesla. Truly an amazing car!, but for looks and overall performance I would choose the Camaro.
Good picks, not so wild about the Volkswagen Golf though

Hi Bob, I didn't like the Golf either until I got to drive one & then I liked them...They handle great & have a lot of power in the GTI's + I'd take one for a compact 2 door sport sedan.

If you get a chance, test drive one with a liberal sales person (LOL)....Mine told me to slow down & he keep saying it and saying it (LOL)...

I understand that the Honda Accord dosen't do anything poorly. But does it do anything well?I find it painfully boring. no other car on this list is boring.

I was thinking the same thing, going through that list, there are so many nice cars. Then you just have the bland ol' Accord sitting there

Hi `Sean & Admin `Mike,
I know that the Honda Accord isn't for everyone, but they sure
are reliable and hold their value.
I like the sport model with a six speed manual. One of the worker has
one (family man) and he loves his.
It's not a car for me, but it seems to be a great car for many.
