4 Best Cars Of The Year 2008
Recession made sure that 2008 wasn't the best of years for any car manufacturing company. However, they did manage to launch some good vehicles. Below is an enumeration of 4 that made the top list.
Chevrolet Malibu
Critics who had the honor of reviewing this car were more than happy to name is as the token domestic car. The Chevrolet Malibu is one of those 4 wheelers which are comfortable, well designed and silent. Its pictures might be a bit deviating but when seen in person, it has the ability to make one smile. It was solely Malibu's merits that got in on the top charts of various magazines and was considered to be one of those that could give some serious competition to top models like Altima, Camry and Accord. Based on performance and luxury, it's worth its place in the rich history of chrevrolet, it's a definite value for money and can easily beat competition from the European and East Asian competitors.
Smart Fortwo:
It was the first microcar to be commercially made available in the United States of America. Because it was the first of its kind, it was sure to make the new which it did as expected. Even though it is very small compared to the sedans that roam the state streets, it has sufficient leg space and good cargo space. The small and sleek looks make it fun to look, drive and zip across traffic snarls (it has a very small turning radius). Now for the best part, with Smart Fortwo, parking is never a problem! It can fit into the smallest of spaces that the others won't even think of venturing into.
Nissan Altima Coupe:
A coup, the Nissan Altima has exceptional exteriors (especially the rear end). While it may not look very appealing at the first glace of its specifications, there is a lot more that goes into it. It is moderately priced and good to drive. What it loses on account of performance, it easily makes up for with reliability. This is one car that doesn't break down easily and one can trust it even in the most difficult of times. No one who owns a Nissan Altima will complain, rather he would only talk of its ease of use.
Subaru Impreza WRX:
The all new WRX can be called nothing less than a marvel of reengineering. Thanks to the 4 cylinder engine and 4-wheel-drive, it is fairly quick and very easy to maneuver making it very comfortable to drive. Even the most novices of drivers won't have much trouble getting used to its working and can easily drive it in the sternest of traffic situations. At its price, there aren't many cars that come with the same ease of use which easily makes it a winner. However, on the down side, one may find the interiors to be a bit old fashioned and the exteriors a bit dull.
All of these cars were able to make the top of the list in the year 2008. Hopefully, in the years to come, their parent companies might think of giving them a new look and launching them all over again for the customers to admire.
