The 2019 Equinox is not just good but a very good compact crossover.

And it also comes with alloy wheels.

But most importantly, the Equinox has a reputation for being a truly reliable car (5 out of 5 reliability rating according to Cars.usnews.com!) and has a very good safety rating (9.7 out of 10). It is not surprising that this Chevy is the leader of our or rather the people's rating!

The Chevrolet Malibu mid-size sedan is an excellent example of the American principle of "a lot of car for your money." A solid mid-ranger in every way, the Malibu offers its owner a spacious interior, soft suspension, rather low fuel consumption for its size and weight (about 6.6 l / 100 km on the highway), a 163-horsepower turbo engine and an easy-to-use infotainment system.

The Malibu got a facelift for the 2019 model yearwhich included an updated grill, new headlights and instrument panel. A CVT and Chevrolet Infotainment 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen come standard in the basic edition. The Premier trim edition comes with heated rear seats.

The Malibu provides a smooth and comfortable ride. It has decent handling, although the steering is not as sharp as that of the Mazda 6. But there is no denying – you get a lot for the money you spend on this car.

• Fuel consumption: 7.8-9 l / 100 km (city)

The 2019 Honda Accord is in many waysan outstanding vehicle. First, it's just about the only sedan in its class that can still be found in the US with a manual transmission. Second, the Accord has one of the best safety scores - 9.9 out of 10 (according to Cars.usnews.com). And thirdly, the car's base 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces an impressive 192 hp making it the friskiest among equals with a manual transmission or simply powerful and smooth with a CVT.

At the same time, the internal combustion engine is ratherfuel efficient (again, by the standards of its class), and the 473-liter trunk is one of the most spacious among classmates.

The car has a high-quality interior, which is not a common occurrence among American of a similar class. The basic edition comes with a 7-inch infotainment display, Bluetooth, a USB port, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, a four-speaker audio system and alloy wheels.

• Gearbox: Automatic
• Drive: front
• Fuel consumption: 10.2 l / 100 km (city)

The 2019 Fusion is another decent midsize sedan with a big trunk, roomy interior, and great handling. It is curious that  the base (S edition) comes with a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter engine, but others(SE, SEL, Titanium) have the 1.5-liter EcoBoost turbo four installed, since it has more power (181 hp) and provides more dynamic acceleration.

All editions (except standard) offers a decent choice of features: keyless entry, Start / Stop system, voice recognition system built into the SYNC 3 infotainment system, 8-inch touch screen, Android Auto / Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, USB port, six-speaker audio system or optional 11 / 12-speaker premium one, satellite radio, Wi-Fi hotspot and navigation.
