The Best 2016 Cars to Buy This Labor Day - SFGate (blog)

Labor Day weekend is an excellent time to buy a new automobile, as vehicle manufacturers offer enticing incentives to move older cars off showroom floors. Whether you are looking for an efficient sedan, a speedy coupe or a spacious SUV, AxleGeeks compiled a list of the best 2016 vehicles to purchase this Labor Day. AxleGeeks rounded up the best 2016 sedans, coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks and SUVs by size and class to help buyers know the best investment at the dealership this weekend. Cars included in this buyer’s guide share a few characteristics: they’re better priced, offer better fuel economy, more horsepower, more cargo space (and in the case of SUVs, more towing capacity) than the averages for their classes. Best Non-Luxury Subcompact Sedan: 2016 Kia Rio This is an exceptional model because it is less expensive, generates more horsepower and houses more trunk space than others in its class. This luxury sedan also comes equipped with proactive safety features such as Parking Assist and the Pre-Collision Safety System, both of which can help you drive safer. Equipped with a 2. 0L V-4 Turbo 8A engine, it delivers 20 more horsepower than its class average. Best Subcompact Hatchback: 2016 Honda Fit For a smaller SUV, the 2016 Fiat 500X houses plenty of power, as its 1. 4L V-4 turbo engine cranks out 160 horsepower, making it more powerful than other models in its class.
