  Any time you're looking for a new car to purchase, it helps to read in-depth reviews of cars in the class you wish to buy. You can always turn to the consumer reports and get a professional opinion, but car blogs can offer an alternative opinion, often in a style more accessible to the casual driver. These blogs are selected based on the diversity and quality of the car reviews they publish.
  
  

Autoblog

• Autoblog's tagline is "We obsessively cover the auto industry." A cursory glance over their website seems to indicate they're telling the truth. Covering all topics from auto repair guides, to news in racing and auto shows to an entire catalog of car reviews, Autoblog exhaustively provides any information one could want. With an easy-to-use search feature, finding a review of a specific make and model is simple.
  
  

The Truth About Cars

• The Truth About Cars.com, while not as easily navigated as Autoblog, contains perhaps better written and more informative reviews. Their searches are limited to make alone, which gives you a list of the models reviewed from that manufacturer. Besides car reviews, The Truth About Cars also regularly features restored classic cars and news from the auto industry.
  
  

Kicking Tires

• Kicking tires is Cars.com's "blog for car buyers." Written by the staff at Cars.com, it includes regular reviews of cars, tips for buying cars, news of big sales pushes and more. While not broken down into categories like Autoblog or The Truth About Cars, its search engine is simple and straightforward, and the information is reliable and thorough.
