I want a car that steers, rides, and handles well. I also need a car that has good visibility all around and is easy to park, since I live in the city but I love to go antiquing. I don’t want to spend a fortune, maybe less than $25,000. Any thoughts? A. One vehicle that comes to mind is the Honda HR-V, a subcompact SUV from Honda that is smaller than the popular CR-V. This petite SUV is easy to drive and park, sits a little higher than a car so visibility is quite good, and the interior layout is very versatile. The seats can be folded and flipped to make the most out of the small exterior dimensions. John Paul, AAA Northeast’s Car Doctor, answers questions from drivers every week.
