Thinking about buying a car? There's no limit to the amount of information you can get online or in your local newspaper about models, option packages and prices. And cars are a lot more sophisticated than they used to be, with the new technology for electric-gas hybrids and clean diesel vehicles, and with the fully electric car on the near horizon.

But some things never change. You want a car, minivan, SUV, pickup or crossover that meets your performance needs and budget; is safe and reliable; and will hold its value for years to come. Where do you find the car of your dreams? On the Internet? At a local dealer? Through a private sale? And what about leasing vs. owning? What consumer protection do you have if the vehicle has been misrepresented?

Zack has personally road-tested almost every model in the book - some on public roads and some on the track - to give you the lowdown on handling characteristics and performance.

Go prepared when you buy your car. Don't get stuck with a lemon. Take Motormouth - written by Canada's #1 car expert - along for the ride.
