Key Takeaways
- Compact cars and two-door coupes typically offer plenty of fuel economy at a great price.
- Sports cars turn up the heat with eye-catching exterior style and extraordinary speed.
- Full-size sedans provide top-notch interior space and a smooth, refined performance.
Compacts and Coupes
For commuters, two-door coupes and compact cars are great options. In addition to their smaller size, models in this segment tend to offer thrifty engines. And many of the cars in this segment are economy options, helping you save money in more ways than one.
Some compact cars can even combine thrifty performance with impressive acceleration. Thanks to modern engineering — think fuel-injectors and turbochargers — it’s now possible to enjoy a ride that strikes an excellent balance between speed and fuel economy. For example, the entry-level Mustang EcoBoost trim uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to supply both 315 horsepower and up to 33 mpg on the highway!
Sports Cars
Speaking of speed, anyone shopping for thrills should check out the sports car segment. Here, you’ll find incredible power and plenty of opportunity for performance upgrades. Thanks to these models’ aggressive exterior styling and aerodynamic design, everyone will know when you’ve arrived.
If you’re shopping for all-out power, we recommend checking out the all-new 2024 Mustang Dark Horse. This new performance-based Mustang features the most powerful version of Ford’s Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine ever made. It spits out 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque, helping the Dark Horse leave other Mustang models in its dust. Besides major muscle, this model also comes standard with an incredible list of performance upgrades, including Brembo brakes, unique chassis tuning, and Ford’s MagneRide damping system.
Sedans
Although they’re not as ubiquitous as they once were, four-door sedans are the roomiest option. Models in this segment also tend to deliver stronger powertrain options and world-class ride comfort.
These days, crossover SUVs have replaced sedans in popularity. Like sedans, crossovers also provide roomy comfort and plenty of power. But drivers also like that crossovers sit higher, offering a more expansive view of the road. And unlike sedans, crossovers have a rugged side, with available upgrades that include towing performance and all-wheel drive.
Shopping the Right Segment
In the end, shopping the right segment comes down to what you want from your car. For a low price and a thrifty performance, check out the compact segment. To enhance style and speed, you can’t go wrong with sports coupes and muscle cars. Then there’s the sedan segment, which caters to the whole family with its roomy cabins and excellent ride comfort.
