First Drive: 2014 Volkswagen Golf Blue-E-Motion
2014 Volkswagen Golf Blue-E-Motion - First Drive - Automobile Magazine
VW's electric car is nice, but it's behind the curve.

We recently had a chance to drive the Volkswagen Golf Blue-E-Motion in plain sight around Volkswagen's hometown of Wolfsburg, and we can report that it is quite likely the most refined and best driving of affordable electric cars. Nonetheless, we're unimpressed, even disappointed.

2011 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S - Automobile Magazine
Shoppers seeking good looks, impressive fuel economy, and loads of optional upscale content have a lot to like in this Altima.

I never cease to be amazed by how quickly the options add up on a Monroney. This Altima felt to me like a relatively sparsely equipped model, with its cloth seats, four-cylinder engine, and lack of navigation. The only readily apparent option was the CVT automatic, which I'd skip. In this form, the Altima coupe isn't a bad choice, with styling cool enough to drive on a date, decent steering and handling, and Japanese reliability all for less than $24,000.
