Glad to see '93 made podium. Not only did it introduce the sex-tastic LE, but it was also the swan song of the "small block."

To be clear about one thing, loving wagons doesn't mean you have to hate crossovers, and vice versa. If I were to find one defense for the crossover, it's the step-in height for older drivers and passengers. I'm fortunate enough to have two living great-grandmothers in their 90s, one of whom drives an Escape and the…

Whenever I see parking structure spirals I've always fantasized about exactly this.

This is like when you win a meh car in a video game and never drive it, but real

I know that location you're at quite well. I live not far from the track

Perfect, thank you

Someone help me ID the beat from 0:28. I know I've heard it before but can't put a name on it.

This is just really cool, I love to see shit like this

One of these Corollas maybe?

I saw my first new Corolla yesterday and I gotta say it's got a nice, tight ass. Too bad the front is overdesigned and bloated

You're right and Spiegel's wrong. Leave it to Jalopnik commenters to take any valid car and measure it up against any one of their ten "perfect" "benchmark" cars, related or not.

Agreed 100%, the Mk2 Fit's cargo space is legendary

The second Honda Fit sort of lost the plot. It was one thing that it got bigger and bloatier, it was another that it lost its joyful feel and its supremely space-efficient cool.

I'm genuinely impressed with this list. I've only heard of the Volvo.

I seriously want anything with a 4AGE, it's a great motor

Yeah, that's my favorite gen too
