Testing Methodology
By now you know our friends at TheCarConnection.com rate vehicles for styling, performance, safety, comfort and utility, and features. From there, they arrive at an overall score, based on each vehicle's individual merits and on its competitiveness in its class of cars, vans , trucks or SUVs . They also let you compare cars of your choice, side by side, to see how they stack up in our editors' ratings. Finally, they carry out comparisons based on their experts' hands-on road tests. For example, TCC's editors have driven each of these vehicles in various forms, in locations around the country, to be able to explain the ratings and to help you make your own decision.
