The Mazda Mazda3 made the Forbes 10 Safest Small Cars List! Check it out!

The laws of physics always favor a larger car in a collision. That's why it's critical to choose a small car that gets top crash-test ratings and offers an extensive assortment of safety features. To qualify, a car must garner top scores across the board for performance in front, side, rollover, and rear-end crashes based on ratings determined by the IIHS' evaluations. Vehicles are rated in each category on a basis of "good," "acceptable," "marginal" or "poor" performance.

Check out the Chrysler 200 at Preferred Auto Imports and Preowned near Holland, MI in this new video!

http://PreferredAutoImports.com 866-924-9139 The Chrysler 200 drives down the road with poise. The suspension provides a supple yet well-controlled ride, and handling is better than that of many other midsize sedans. Performance with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder is remarkable. The 3.6-liter V6 is quite energetic and is one of the most robust engines in the segment, delivering strong acceleration without a tremendous sacrifice in fuel economy. Used cars in Holland, MI.

Quality Used and Pre-Owned Cars at Preferred Auto Imports of Michigan electrify this video!

http://PreferredAutoImports.com 866-924-9139 The front-wheel-drive Chevy Volt is primarily powered by an electric motor rated at 149 horsepower (111 kilowatts) and 273 pound-feet of torque. This motor draws power from a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack until the battery charge is 70 percent depleted. At that point, the Volt's 1.4-liter four-cylinder internal combustion engine, which requires premium fuel, comes to life as a replacement power source for the electric motor. Under certain higher-speed conditions, the four-cylinder can also help power the wheels directly. Few used Chevy Volts are in Michigan near Muskegon but check with us often.

Jointly developed with the Japan Polypropylene Corporation, the resin maintains the same rigidity as parts made with conventional materials, but the parts are thinner and require less material.
