it's the middle of the year so it's time to take a look at the cars CNET has reviewed that scores the very best so far in 2015 I'm Brian Cooley let's go number five the 2015 audi s5 with a score of 8.3 the v8 engine is gone but we love the 2015's supercharged v6 and of course the essential Quattro all-wheel drive on the downside this car's infotainment rig was a step or two behind other outies no 4G no touchpad no really big LCD track purists won't care otherwise you should number for the 2015 BMW 740il DX Drive in be number one on a list of most vowels it gets a score of 8.3 BMW has proved best that modern turbo Diesel's can be tuned for sporty performance and even this big car proves it that diesel torque feels like it shaves about 1/3 off the cars perceived heft while the cabin delights with I Drive 4.2 that has connected nav and about the best HUD in the business number three the 2015 Audi a3 Cabriolet 8.4 score also an editor's choice that's right the lonely a3 ranks a couple notches above that s5 it's a great driver that doesn't just rely on its convertible top to make friends and the a3 was the first US Audi to bring us integrated 4G which utterly transforms Google Earth and Street View at live search oddly enough no voice command you would have figured a company this smart would have found some other place to mount the sealing microphone when the ceiling went away number two the 2014 BMW i3 gets a lofty 8.9 this one's gonna be a little controversial especially since there isn't an eighth after the letter I it has carbon fibre underpinnings though and a dwell magazine like interior combining with I Drive and those interesting coach doors that make the i3 feel a lot bigger than their it's a lot more money than a Nissan Leaf for about the same range but we got the range extender option which Nissan doesn't do along with several other aspects of this car before I get you to number one let's take a look at dead last our lowest rated car reviewed so far this year it's the 2015 Chevy Trax mini crossover a 6.3 not so much that it failed at its mission its that its mission is rather Spartan its LCD head unit doesn't even offer factory navigation there are almost no driver's safety assist mpg wasn't even quite that good and that ugly black body cladding all around screams this is all I could afford but if that is the case you'll move a surprising amount of people and stuff for a little over 20 grand the number one car we've checked out so far this year is the 2015 tesla model s p85d an amazing 9.3 score and an editor's choice adding a second motor to this car gave the big battery model s insane acceleration it says so right on the dash more importantly it gave it all wheel drive this is also the Tesla that pushers in their big move toward autonomy mostly by a over-the-air software updates it's a near-perfect car if you buy into evey religion at all the downsides include a $120,000 price none up seen that style and the fact that owning a Model S today is becoming kind of like owning a BMW in the 80s if you know what I mean for top 5 lists to wait the car lover go to CNET on cars.com click on top 5
