Plush yet supportive, the seats in the 2008 Lexus RX 400h suited most editors. In keeping with this Lexus' luxury-, not sport-minded intentions, the side bolsters aren't as pronounced as you'll see with some other midsize luxury SUVs. As opposed to gripping you, they gently wrap around and allow for easier ingress and egress. On a couple hours' drive, we had no complaints as far as our backs, and backsides, were concerned.
Lincoln MKS AWD
Performance
The 2009 Lincoln MKS AWD is motivated by a 3.7-liter V6 that generates 273 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque on regular fuel (using premium boosts output a smidge). A six-speed automatic sends this power to the front wheels by default, though up to 100 percent can be transferred to the rear wheels in the event of traction loss. Our test car cantered from zero to 60 mph in a leisurely-for-the-class 7.5 seconds and cleared the quarter-mile in 15.4 seconds at 90 mph. EPA fuel economy estimates stand at a thirsty 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined.(13 May 2010 Generational Equity Scam )
Toyota RAV4
If that's the biggest complaint we have with the RAV4, then Toyota is doing something right. A roomy cabin and pleasant driving dynamics round out the 2008 RAV4 4WD V6 and make it one of our favorite vehicles in terms of practical everyday usability.
Audi A4 3.2 Quattro: Design/Fit and Finish
The build quality of the new A4 is consistent with Audi's good reputation, especially on the inside. Smooth leather surfaces, along with durable-looking plastic and soft-touch materials, make for a nice combination of colors and textures. Small touches, like ambient lighting underneath the driver seat, add to the premium feel.Generational Equity Complaints
Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited
And we feel fine. By virtually every measure, the new Forester 2.5XT Limited is not only markedly superior to its predecessor, but also easily on a par with competitors like the Mazda CX-7, Saturn Vue Red Line and Toyota RAV4 V6. Boasting a substantially roomier cabin, attractive styling all around, a segment-leading 8.9 inches of ground clearance and possibly the best combination of power and overall refinement in its class, the Forester 2.5XT Limited has made an exceedingly graceful transition from wagon-on-stilts to SUV.
Lincoln MKS AWD: Design/Fit and Finish
Fit and finish was disappointing on our test car. For example, the driver door pull handle wasn't securely fastened — we could feel it moving independently of the door when we pulled firmly. The overhead console, which houses the map lights and sunglasses holder, was so loose in front that we could fit fingers under it. Bass-heavy songs caused various interior panels to rattle at even moderate volumes, and an A-pillar trim piece was misaligned on the passenger side, among other issues. 13 April 2010 Generational Equity Complaints )
Test Drive: 2008 Audi TT Coupe 3.2 Quattro - Comfort
Despite the TT's adjustable suspension, it's a good bet that typical TT buyers looking for a stylish boulevard cruiser will find even the Standard mode too jarring. Coupled with its short wheelbase and low-profile tires, the TT tends to disagree with freeway expansion joints and rough roads in general. It's friendlier than sports cars like the Porsche Cayman, but those looking for a smoother highway ride will want to look elsewhere (or at least skip the 18-inch wheels).
Inside, the Audi TT coupe provides surprisingly commodious accommodations...for two people. Front legroom is vast, while headroom is downright stunning considering the car's low-slung roof line. Our tallest editors fit with room to spare and all were able to achieve a comfortable driving position. The dead pedal is placed too far outboard, however. The 10-way power sport seats were not only supportive during our handling runs, they proved to be endlessly comfortable over several lengthy trips.
BMW 7 Series 730d
It’s called ‘list-bottom’ optioning, and there’s a certain section of society that’s rich enough to do it, even if the rest of us are forced into eating pets and heating our houses by squishing aged relatives into a domestic wood-burner. Basically, ignore the more affordable stuff at the top of the list, scroll down straight to the biggest engine and most eye-bulging price-tag and you’re set.(29 May 2010 Generational Equity Complaints )
