What is the AAA Car Guide?
Test Results and Rankings
The green cars tested by the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Automotive Research Center (ARC) are evaluated on the basis of 13 categories: emissions, fuel economy, crashworthiness, braking, acceleration, handling, cargo-carrying capacity, ride quality, interior noise, ease of entry and exit, maneuverability, roominess, and visibility. The scores for the categories are totaled, and the cars are ranked from high to low.
