We ask readers what the best car ever made is and I provide my answer based on history and experience. ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌  ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌

Cars

Sat Aug 15 2026

 

Happy Saturday from the USA TODAY Cars team!

I'm Charles Singh, and I report on automotive news, conduct vehicle reviews and write consumer advice for USA TODAY. If you have topic suggestions, consumer advice and maintenance questions or general inquiries, you can reach me at CSingh@Gannett.com.

Is there a definitive best car ever?

This week Detroit Free Press senior car culture reporter Eric D. Lawrence posed a tough question to readers. What is the best car ever? Eric asked a number of car experts including a curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford, an automotive historian and a Hollywood stunt driver the same question.

Unsurprisingly, the survey of experts was inconclusive. Eric and I test drive some of the newest and most impressive cars and our answers will differ as well.

As for me, the car that comes to mind when I ponder the question is the Honda Civic. Honda's small and affordable sedan has survived a half-century despite a rapidly changing automotive landscape.

It works as a cheap daily driver, a tuner for driving enthusiasts and it's consistently one of the best-selling sedans. Now that Honda offers a hybrid version of the Civic , it's even more appealing to a wider range of drivers.

There may not be a definitive best car ever made, but I think the Civic makes a strong case for itself.

What are your thoughts on the best car model of all time? Let me know how right (or wrong) I am at CSingh@Gannett.com.

Take a spin through this week in cars

This week Ford recalled over 134,000 vehicles over infotainment issues that could disrupt rearview camera views.
Automotive reporter Keith Laing explored the vehicles with the highest average negative equity including the Toyota Camry and Chevy Silverado.
We dove into why the discontinued Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck could be a great used vehicle for some drivers, based on first-hand experience driving the EV.
The team also broke down the most popular car colors of the year so far. Neutral colors dominate the list.

You take the wheel

Eric's question about the best car ever leads to another important enthusiast question. What car, truck, SUV or van would you drive if money was no object? If your bank account's balance looked like phone numbers, what would be sitting in your driveway.

Personally, I'd go for the latest 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 3LT in the Roswell Green Metallic color with the Z51 Performance Package ($88,645 before taxes and fees). I've driven more expensive and more powerful cars, but the Corvette is iconic.

Let me know what you'd drive if you had a few trillion in the bank at CSingh@Gannett.com.

Thanks for reading this week. What would you like to see in our next newsletter? Email me your feedback or connect with me on LinkedIn.
