City Dweller: Drive These Top 10

Posted Feb 28, 08 1:07 PM CST in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – City streets are tight, and the stop-and-go driving eats up over-priced gas. Then there’s the parking … if you can find it. Forbes says urbanites should consider one of these city-friendly rides:

  1. Audi A3: Handles well, loaded with safety features, tiny turning radius
  2. Mazda3: Great at dodging potholes, safe
  3. MINI Cooper: Easy to park, fuel-efficient, airbags galore

  1. Scion Xb: Roomy, has turn signals on your mirror for more visibility
  2. Honda Civic: A gas miser and agile little compact
  3. Hyundai Tucson: Nimble, loaded with bells and whistles
  4. Toyota Rav4: Tight turns, vehicle stability system makes quick moves safer
  5. Mitsubishi Outlander: Safety is key for this crossover
  6. Toyota Camry: When a little luxury is in order, handles well
  7. Honda CR-V: Plenty of standard amenities, cool gadgets
