    I'm not really a fan of the styling of the fusion but...
    It should have been,
    1st: Hyundai Sonata
    2nd: Ford Fusion
    3rd: Honda Accord
    4th: Subaru Legacy/Nissan Altima (Can't chose
    5th: Chevy Malibu
    6th:Toyota Camry

    There's no way a beige Camry with steal wheels and a floaty suspension is a better family sedan than the Ford Fusion. I find it hard to believe the transmission in the new Fusion is so bad that they'd rather give up the handling, style, and features of the Fusion SEL in favor of a car that is basically a big cushy teddy bear on wheels (which I'm well aware some people want, but hello...this is Motor Trend here! Where's the driver involvement in a Camry LE?).

    Hyundai sonata is the overall winner here. So their only con was the headroom in the back? This car has the most power with no v6, The most options even for a base model like standard Xm radio, Bluetooth, steering wheel radio/phone controls, best gas mileage(better than camry, Honda & Nissan) cheaper, best warranty. etc... I wonder how much money ford & Toyota paid him to be biased against Hyundai. lol #facts.

    Yes Sir I myself is an owner of an '03 mpreza WRX, the best handling car i've ever owned. This Legacy should perform similarly nonetheless, although it will be a lot more nose-heavy... we live in Upstate NY here, so AWD is really a necessary, and it's good to have a compact sedan without really thinking what the weather is outside. cheers!

    @MrThat70svan Před 9 lety

    I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with this 2.5 engine and I have 202K miles as I use it as a Taxi in Atlanta! I would say this is the best car I have ever owned for reliability and LOW maintenance! I still get 23MPG in town all the time! It's comfortable for LONG periods of time at once! I can drive this car for 8 hours straight and not be hurting. It handles like a German car in the corners and never had any problems except CV axles and 1 transmission! I would buy this car time and time again because it's been such a great little car and customers seem to feel it's cabin is bigger than a Crown Vic! I would however buy the manual SEL trim if possible!

  • @fiosfiend
    @fiosfiend Před 12 lety +2

    What a joke. In at least 4 other reviews, including Motorweek's the Sonata was number 1 with the Camry a distant 3rd or more. I wonder how it is that these guys could get it so wrong.

  • @FasterThanYou789
    @FasterThanYou789 Před 13 lety +1

    @v1per808 I just want to remind you that though Nissan's V-6 does produce more power than Ford's V-6, it's a LOT rougher and noisier (in a bad way). Almost everyone criticizes the 370Z for horrible noise and ride quality, a lot due to the rough engine. The Infiniti G37 and M37 are a little better, but not much. Ford may not have pushed their's to reach similar output, but at least it's a lot smoother

  • @theuropean
    @theuropean Před 12 lety +1

    Its funny because when you compare a car like Camry/Fusion to Sonata, it just blows it out of the water. Best fuel economy, more hp, better interior, better exterior. This is from a loyal nissan person. Hyundai has really stepped up its game.

  • @clunkerboy1
    @clunkerboy1 Před 14 lety

    Toyota Camry is an American favourite. With its status as an American-made car, the Camry could even be called an American icon. Inarguably.July 2010, the Toyota Camry is easily America's best-selling car.

    In general, I agree with his presentation. No, the Camry isn't stylish in ANY way, but, it's a good package. It gets decent mileage, it's roomy, rides well, and is easy to use. The Camry does everything that most driver's demand of it with aplomb.

    Did you know Toyota had the most recalls out of any brand in the year 2012? 5.3 million. And Honda had the second most recalls in 2012, 3.4 million. Ford only had 1.4 million recalls in 2012. I thought Honda and Toyota were supposed to be reliable? What happened there huh? lol

  • @Taureg96

    I have never been able to trust MotorTrend reviews, their car of the year is bought almost every single year and everyone knows it, Automobile and Car and Driver are much better. But if you ask me the Sonata should have came first with the accord and fusion afterward.

      Definitely. I do wish that Motor Trend had the previous generation of the Hyundai Sonata as a means of giving it a fond farewell and tested Kia Optima as a means of giving a good balance between the Korean (Kia and Hyundai) and Japanese car companies (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru.)

  • @GMasis001
    @GMasis001 Před 13 lety +1

    @CrashJSTest I disagree. And no, I was not saying that because my favorite car didn't win, but because they have no real logic behind their reasons. They praised the Subaru's features and fuel economy yet placed it 5th because of its look? The same goes for the Accord. I personally prefer Edmunds and KBB which is why I will no longer watch an MT videos.

    Well produced video though.

  • @uflnuceng
    @uflnuceng Před 14 lety

    Agreed... its unfortunate that a few people who have no idea how to drive or react in an emergency situation. The Toyota failures were far less than what anyone running six sigma would shoot for, especially if you take out accidents due to driver error. This is just going to turn into another Audi 5000 accelerator situation, where the media sensationalizes a minor problem, and Toyota will suffer for it.

    Toyota can use the help. they make great cars and because a few people dont understand that when the car starts to accelerate you need to hit the brake or put it in neutral and all hell breaks loose. imagine this kind of situation going on in the 60's or 70's with carburated cars. they'd laugh at anyone who had a faulty carb and send them to get it fixed.

  • @BYSMA4th
    @BYSMA4th Před 14 lety

    I think the Camry get's a bit more criticism than it deserves. I don't think the family car segment is meant for fun driving or handling. If you want that, you're better off looking at say the family coupe segment (the new Mustang for instance, drives pretty well). The Camry is made to be undramatic. If you criticize the Camry for being simplistic, you can do the same with the Rolls Royce Phantom, which literally has 3 gear selections (park, reverse, drive) and one knob for the radio.

  • @michaellovely6601

But my 96 Bonneville SSEi still beats them all. LOL

    This is Obviously a JOKE! Take the oldest Design and the car with the most problems and the worst cabin materials and call it a WINNER? This to me is NOTHING but a PLUG because someone feels bad for TOYOTA. In an unbias opinion the winner hands down should of been the Sonata. Nothing was even mentioned about Affordability and the best MPG and the best POWER and the LONGEST WARRANTY THese are things to consider also in the best family sedan. LANE REVIEW AND RESULTS!

    @v1per808 Probably the interior quality. Actually, the Nissan DID in fact have the most quiet ride of all the cars here; I think it's just starting to get a bit long in the tooth. There's nothing really fancy like Ford SYNC or Hyundai's great I-4. The Camry definitely shouldn't have won, and I think the Nissan should have been higher, but it's still not good enough to take first place.

  • @sidewayznut2009

    I'd get the Subaru, Honda or Nissan I'd even consider the Fusion and probably look at the Hyundai
    since Hyundai and Ford have been working the hardest at improving quality and its really starting to show.
    Toyota must have sponsored this. I like how they judged it off of different standards than everyone else.
    Also where's Mazda??? they didn't even compare every car in the price range and category.

    @v1per808 Well..., you have a point by saying with, the Mazda6. That's the reason why, they don't include the Mazda6 in most comparisons because, they know, it's going to win. Now, with the N. Altima..., I'd say, it's the best handling car out of the bunch, also...but, not the quickest! Remember..., not of these cars are the "top of the line" versions. If they would've been..., Ford would've involved it's Sport version of the Fusion...in which, would've made it VERY hard for the others!

  • @Stevenhiggles
    @Stevenhiggles Před 13 lety

    @BklynJayL I think they will make it when completion forces them to. Look at the camaro and mustang for example. Chevy did it first and basically forced Ford to redo the engine for the v6 and the v8. When the Mid size sedans follow suit with the altimas price range, u can expect it.

  • @gogmorgoaway
    @gogmorgoaway Před 14 lety

    @drc1981 Yeah, I'm with you on this. As far as I can tell, they said it was best because it was easy to get into and had a basic radio, and it was the best at solving a problem that shouldn't exist, and doesn't in any of the others. Toyotas may never fall apart, but they're some of the most bland cars on the road, and they aren't even all that efficient, which is their best selling point beyond that they don't fall apart, which isn't always true.

  • @BYSMA4th
    @BYSMA4th Před 14 lety

    (cont) Also, as for it being "bland and boring," I think there is a peacefulness about its undramatic theme.
