We're certain that there are lists of the year’s most overlooked movies, TV shows, books, singers, sports celebrities, etc. It shouldn’t be a surprise to find out that Consumer Reports has made a list of the Year’s Most Overlooked Cars.
Here they are:
• The Mazda 5. They seemed to like the compact package of this mini minivan and still have the ability to comfortably accommodate four passengers though it can seat six. Also called out its dual sliding side doors and three rows of seats.
• Kia Rondo. Consumer Reports appears to like this car’s three rows of seats fit into a small vehicle. They found that the car is maneuverable and high seating makes visibility “excellent.” They also report that it’s quiet, comfortable and feels like a bigger car. They also like the standard stability control and side curtain airbags.
• Kia Optima. They call this car “pleasant” with its four cylinder, V6 engine. They report that handling is “very secure” and noted that it too has stability control. They found the cabin to be “well crafted” and the rear seat “roomy.”
• Hyundai Azera. They liked the price of this large, luxury sedan and its “airy and spacious, well-finished” interior. They report that it features “excellent” visibility and “roomy” seats with simple controls.
