After the car’s record 31 previous appearances on our 10 Best Cars list, you might think that an all-new Honda Accord sedan was a shoo-in for 2018. Not true. Even after we proclaimed one version of this Accord—the 2.0-liter/manual-transmission Sport model—“America’s Best Sedan” on the cover of our November issue, we began the evaluations for 2018 10 Best Cars cognizant that there are no categories. It’s possible to be the best in any class without making this list (you’ll search the roster in vain for a full-size sedan or an entry-level subcompact, for instance). So we were open to the idea that America’s best sedan still might be, say, only the 12th-best among all cars offered below our $80,000 price cap. Or that some variants, perhaps the base 1.5-liter engine with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), wouldn’t cut it.
For decades the sedan reigned supreme as the practical choice for millions of car buyers. The four-door configuration means easy access for all passengers; large trunks and folding rear seatbacks offer a range of utility; and in the right designer's hands, a sedan can assume timeless style and proportions. The sedan is also one of the most versatile forms, ranging from econobox basic to first-class executive comfort to back-road speed special.
Why Edmunds Recommends the 2017 Ford Fiesta: Few cars are better suited to the city than the Ford Fiesta, a pint-size runabout available as a hatchback or sedan. Sharp lines and angles and high-quality materials give the Fiesta one of the nicest cabins in its class, but quick acceleration and a firm ride also lend it a performance edge. The base four-cylinder engine delivers decent performance, but the diminutive turbo three-cylinder's 123 horsepower is more interesting. (But heads-up, it's only available with the manual transmission.) The Fiesta is available as a roomy sedan or hatch, both with impressive cargo and storage space, while the optional Sync 3 system is one of the best around for hands-free voice control of navigation, audio and phone functions. A fun, affordable car, the Fiesta belongs on any small-sedan shopper's list.
For 2017, Hyundai redesigns the Elantra sedan, while the Elantra GT hatchback is carried over from the previous year. Sedans are offered in SE, Eco, and Limited trim levels, while the 5-door Elantra GT comes in a single trim level. Engine choices for the sedan include a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder and a turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder, while the GT comes with a more powerful 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. Manual or automatic transmissions are available. A turbocharged Elantra Sport sedan arrives in the fall of 2016.
By Ezra Dyer Apr 26, 2018 Ford Farewell to the Fusion. Ta-ta to the Taurus. Say so long to the Focus and Fiesta. Yesterday Ford made the dramatic announcement that it would kill off all of its car models except the Mustang in the coming years and would get 90 percent of its sales from "trucks, utilities, and commercial vehicles" by 2020. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below This sounds like shortsighted foolishness. Think back to the first time Americans fell head-over-heels for bigger vehicles and ditched their sedans for SUVs—but then changed their minds when gas prices shot up. Almost exactly 10 years ago, in May of 2008, the seemingly unstoppable F-150 was outsold by not one but four fuel-efficient sedans: the Honda Civic and Accord, and Toyota Corolla and Camry. With high gas prices looking like they're coming back, this seems like an inauspicious time for Ford to announce it’s giving up on cars. Haven’t they learned anything?Yes, they have. This time is different, and it's different because the automakers learned how to build crossovers. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below Let's return to 2008 for a moment. The vehicles of SUV boom 1.0 were bruisers. A decade ago, the Ford Explorer was a body-on-frame truck that offered V8 power. In its thriftiest guise, the Ford SUV managed only 16 mpg EPA combined. Today’s Explorer is a crossover—a taller body riding on a car platform. Really, it's a Taurus in disguise. A front-wheel-drive EcoBoost model gets 22 mpg combined, while the most efficient Taurus has a V6 that gets 21 mpg. The situation is similar when you look at the Fusion and its crossover equivalent, the Ford Edge. A 2.0-liter Fusion gets 25 mpg combined. The 2.0-liter Edge gets 24 mpg.

Which is to say, discontinuing the Taurus and Fusion doesn't do much to change overall fuel economy even if every car buyer ran out and got an Explorer or an Edge.It's not like Ford is going to kill the 1.0-liter Fiesta and replace it with colossal V10 Excursions because Detroit thinks the petroleum party’s never gonna end. The company is simply packaging its cars as tall wagons, because that’s what people want right now.If fashions change and somehow sedans become all the rage? No problem. It’ll be relatively easy to repurpose a two-row crossover into a sedan, reversing the alchemy that gave us all these crossovers in the first place. The next Explorer just might be rear-wheel-drive. That would make for a hell of a sedan.
