Roadfly Announces 2012 Green Car of the Year And Ten Best Green Cars for 2012

Online, April 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - In honor of Earth Day, Roadfly, the premiere automotive resource specializing in car reviews, today announced the 2012 Green Car of the Year as well as its list of the ten best green cars for 2012. The list was compiled by the editors of Roadfly and represents vehicles which were new for the 2012 model year. Vehicles were judged against their peers on a number of criteria including fuel efficiency, driving dynamics, and environmental impact.

"MPG isn't the only criteria used to determine the best green cars. We evaluate driving characteristics, cargo capacity, and even the Manufacturers green initiatives," said Roadfly Founder and Publisher, Charlie Romero.

Consumers look to experts like the editors at Roadfly when making new car purchasing decisions. In fact, consumers have become so reliant on the Internet that Roadfly video car reviews are watched more than 1 million times each month. "People want to know which is the best green car for their individual needs and lifestyle and that's the answer we provide with our Green Car of the Year and Ten Best Green Cars awards," continued Romero.

The best green cars of 2012 are:

#10 - 2012 Hyundai Accent. Hyundai earned a spot thanks to its class-leading 138 hp engine and 40 MPG highway fuel efficiency rating.

#9 - 2012 Subaru Impreza. At 36 MPG, this is the most fuel efficient all-wheel-drive vehicle offered for sale in the U.S.

#8 - 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. The 1.4L turbo is fun and frugal while achieving 40 MPG highway.

#7 - 2012 Mazda3 SkyActiv. Mazda introduced amazing new engine technology with SkyActiv. The sporty Mazda3 is a fun-to-drive 40 MPG highway compact sedan.
