Kia Stinger
The Kia Stinger was once developed by J.D. Power voted best four-door sports car. The 2020 model features a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that hits some right notes. However, the Stinger suffers from problems common to many sports cars. You feel every little bump, the rear seats are useless and you burn gas fast. The Stinger is better than some competitors in its category, but nothing special. Handling and acceleration are okay for the price, and you have the option to upgrade to a V-6 engine—but that’ll cost you thousands of dollars more.

Volvo XC90
When you first see the roomy interior and clever design – including a third row – you might be shocked that this SUV doesn’t make everyone’s list. Given the above average price point, one would expect this vehicle to be a little more polished than it actually is. The fuel economy is absolutely embarrassing, and if it weren’t for the souped-up safety features, the XC90 would be criminally expensive. The best features come with more expensive packages. The basic XC90 offers Volvo’s positive driving experience, but there’s not enough else.
