We had the opportunity to drive a pair of Maximas: one with the Premium package and the one discussed in this road test with the Sport package. The Sport's 19-inch wheels and sport suspension produced a frequently jarring ride on Los Angeles' pockmarked streets and highways, while not providing any significant handling improvement over the 18-inch wheels and regular suspension found on the SV Premium. In fact, the Premium produced better skid pad and slalom speed numbers at our test track. We therefore don't recommend the Sport package and suggest the regular SV instead. At the same time, if you are willing to sacrifice ride quality for a better-handling sedan, the Infiniti G35 fits that bill perfectly.
Dodge Journey R/T
Comfort
Inside, families with one or two children should find more than enough room in the first two rows, with our test car's 50/50-split third-row seat serving as a sort of emergency backup for kids. Legroom was sufficient up front for even our tallest driver, and the telescoping steering column assured a good driving position for all. The second row reclines for greater comfort and slides forward to provide more legroom in the cramped third row. Unfortunately, all seats are hard and flat.(12 March 2010 Generational Equity Scam )
Audi A4 3.2 Quattro:
Who Should Buy This Vehicle?
Executive types who want a good combination of luxury and performance; commuters who like to rely on techno-gadgets to get where they're going safely.
Dodge Journey R/T
Derived from the same platform as Dodge's Avenger and Caliber, the Journey is a midsize crossover. In terms of size, it's a little bigger than the Ford Edge or Toyota RAV4 but smaller than the new Ford Flex. For some buyers, our nearly loaded Journey R/T test car could very well be in the Goldilocks, "just right" SUV category: small enough for daily use but with more than enough room for all the kids' junk, while offering an extra pair of seats for the neighbors' kids. Plus, with the ability to equip the Journey any way you want it — storage bins everywhere, integrated child booster seats and ample kid-sedating entertainment options — the Journey has the potential to be the family vehicle of a lifetime for many.Generational Equity Complaints
Dodge Challenger SRT8
Function
Though the backseat is roomy for a performance coupe, getting back there is a hassle, as only the front passenger seat slides forward — and it takes a healthy shove to do so. As a result, installing a baby seat can be tough, and that seat can only face rearward if a shorter person is occupying the seat in front.
Drive: Mini Clubman
Even the German Mini has quintessential British character
Clubman nomenclature denotes the wagon variant
Integration of several interfaces within circular instrument binnacle and HVAC controls were originally proposed for the first generation New Mini
Mini but not mini
Mini as in miniature? But then it's the same size as a Mk1 Golf! And for those with some personal Mini history there is something slightly disturbing about the new BMW-owned Mini. It's more of a sporty ‘Cooper' caricature than a rationalist and incredibly space-efficient design that happens to look cute and drive well.
Extrovert but introvert
With distinctive proportions, themes and details, everything about the design is very Mini and very strong in character. Yet its easy familiarity and ubiquity make it a totally acceptable ‘safe choice' even for the bashful.
British but German
Mini is possibly the most iconic of British car brands, but now it is a bit ‘Austin Powers': a simulacrum of something quintessentially British. But then it also has more resonance with today's British market than any other small car.
Friendly but tough
Cute, rounded, retro styling that makes small children smile. But massive confident volumes, chunky controls and a near horizontal waistline that works with an all-pervading sense, when driven, of a small English car built by a manufacturer of large German cars. 11 April 2010 Generational Equity Scam )
Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SLT
Comfort
The new Ram's calling card is its ride comfort, which is downright amazing for a truck. Whenever body-on-frame construction and a solid rear axle are in the mix, some freeway hop and general jiggliness are inevitable, but the Dodge minimizes these issues like no other truck we've driven. Impacts are distant and muted, not sharp and jarring, and the Ram shrugs off broken pavement like a softly sprung family sedan. Despite those chunky tires, it's also strikingly quiet at speed — a Nissan Titan we drove recently proved a comparatively raucous companion on the highway.
Test Drive: 2009 Acura RL Performance
It would be easy to overlook the lack of a V8 option if the 2009 Acura RL delivered exceptional fuel economy, but with an EPA rating of 16 miles per gallon city and 22 highway, the big Acura is not a fuel sipper. A V8-powered Lexus GS 460 is rated at 17 mpg city and 24 highway with a combined rating of 20. We averaged just 16.8 miles per gallon in mixed driving with the RL.(22 February 2010 Generational Equity Scam )
