"What's the best car?" Getting asked that question is an occupational hazard in this business. (And, yes, we realize that it's not actually hazardous, at least compared with the occupational dangers faced by, say, ironworkers who build skyscrapers or zookeepers who feed lions.) When you drive and test hundreds of cars every year—as our editorial team collectively does—it's a natural query. And our annual 10Best awards provide the answer.
Since 1983, we've been conducting this exercise: We identify the very best of what's available, not merely our favorite new models introduced for a given year. An onslaught of new or significantly redesigned contenders vies with the winners from the previous year for one of the 10 coveted spots. These days, the price cap is $110,000 (sorry, Ferrari). We gather our staff and contributors from far and wide for an intense two weeks of driving and instrumented testing, interspersed with arguing. And then we vote. The winners are those that best fulfill their intended mission, deliver value to their buyers, and spark driving joy.

No Toyotas?
hell who can afford a new car?
No issues whatsoever with my 2019 Toyota Highlander....previously went with Honda Accords, but quality went south, and switched to a Toyota Avalon, in 2014. OUTSTANDING reliability in all of the Toyota’s.
Toyota is currently recalling 100,000 vehicles for engine failure due to metal shavings internal to the motors.
Maybe that’s why?
Honda went all CVT, Ewwwww, gross.
Yeah. I can’t trust CVT on anything bigger than a snowmobile.
Apparently, reliability is not a factor in this list.
Cadillac actually does make good cars for a change.
No Jaguar? I’m shocked. /LOL
Toyota flushed their reliability down the toilet with their new engines.
Best car? Today?
One that the bank does not own.
2005 Ford 500
1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille
1961 Cadillac Fleetwood
1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille
Glad I bought one of the last Tundras with a big V-8. That engine was made for ages and is great.
I’ve heard that as well. Unfortunately, the new 4Runners have the “improved” engine. When i die I want to be buried in my 2006 4Runner …. or shot out of a cannon.
I have the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, but not a 2025.
Do you know when the last year for manufacture of the Tundra with v=8s was?
“hell who can afford a new car?”
Taylor Swift.
2015 Dodge Durango Citadel.
Best car in 2025 or any other year.
Without including reliability in the evaluation, it’s not very useful.
