· 1 min read

Car and Driver's archive resurfaces a shootout from a different automotive era, when Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Saturn, and Toyota each fielded an entry-level sedan for the same buyer's attention. The magazine's testers put all nine head to head to find which small car earned its keep as a first family sedan.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
