Reviews Summary

The Ford Mustang returns for a final tour as its primary rivals head to retirement. This seventh-generation pony car is based on its predecessor but receives numerous upgrades that significantly improve its interior and technology. For fun on a budget, it's difficult to beat a Mustang, and this newest version continues the tradition with a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Reviews Summary

The Dodge Ram is one of the most recognizable vehicles on the road today, and it certainly has notable exterior styling, thanks to its crosshairs-style grille and the bulbous hood that rests on top of bulging fenders. The Ram's styling has been in place since the early 1990s, and the 2002 redesign kept the majority of the style in place. It's an excellent truck with plenty of virtues to draw in truck buyers, but the full-size segment has heated up to the point that it’s hard to find a bad apple.
