Peugeot 308 prices released
• 308 will cost between £11,995 and £20,045
• Six engine options: three petrol, three diesel
• Five trim levels on offer
Peugeot's new 308 small family car will cost between £11,995 and £20,045.
The five-door model is available from September and the three-door model in December.
Engines
There are six engine options: three petrols and three diesels.
The petrol engines are a 95bhp 1.4, 120bhp 1.6 and 150bhp turbocharged 1.6, while the diesels are 90bhp or 110bhp 1.6-litre units and a 136bhp 2.0.
All engines are linked to a five-speed manual gearbox, except the highest-powered diesel, which has a six-speed manual gearbox.
Maximum speeds range from 108mph to 133mph, while 0-62mph times vary from 8.8sec to 14.3sec.
Emissions figures run from from 120g/km of carbon dioxide on the 90bhp diesel-powered version to 167g/km on the 150bhp petrol-powered cars.
Acura TL Function
While those who want the most raw, thumping power may be a little underwhelmed by the 10-speaker ELS surround-sound system, it is remarkably crisp and clear. Live albums in particular are sensational — you'd swear Lindsey Buckingham or Dave Matthews were performing in the car for you. Actually, in-car performance seems like the only music format missing in the TL, which features FM, AM, XM, CD, DVD audio, iPod, regular aux jack and hard-drive digital storage. Having said that, the TL lacks its predecessor's tape deck — aw, shucks.(11 March 2010 Generational Equity Complaints )
Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD CRD: Comfort
The diesel is loud at idle and louder at acceleration before smoothing out and being virtually unnoticeable at highway speeds. The cabin is well-insulated thanks to the extra insulation packed in as part of the Quick Options 22H Package along with a stronger battery. Road noise at 70 mph was muted, while wind noise was noticeable both to driver and passengers.
Honda Civic Hybrid With Leather and Navigation
You don't buy a hybrid for its high horsepower or because it's fun to drive in any of the ways a traditional all-gas all-the-time car can be. You buy a hybrid to get better fuel economy than everything short of a golf cart. You buy a hybrid to use less gas in your everyday driving and to fill the air with fewer emissions every year. Those are all great reasons to consider the 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid. It's not fast, it isn't a world-class handling car and it won't break any speed records. But it's a solid contender in the compact hybrid sedan market, an arena that is becoming increasingly crowded with vehicles worth considering.Generational Equity Scam
Nissan Murano SL 2WD
When Nissan decided to redesign its popular Murano midsize crossover SUV for the 2009 model year, it wisely refrained from making any drastic changes. The subtle exterior modifications won't alienate fans of the previous generation, yet there are enough improvements under the hood and inside the cabin to justify the yearlong wait for a new model (the Murano skipped the 2008 model year while Nissan worked on the new one). Like its predecessor, the 2009 Nissan Murano SL 2WD is a stylish crossover with a luxurious interior, an engaging powertrain, nimble handling and an attractive sub-,000 price tag.
Mercedes-Benz R-Class R320 Performance
When the going got twisty, the R320 reminded us that it's no sport wagon, yet it surprised us with its refined road manners. A slalom speed of 58.1 mph might not be very impressive — indeed, it's more than 4 mph slower than the ML320 — but the big Benz handles high-speed sweepers with unexpected athleticism. The R320's steering is another point in its favor, as it's significantly more responsive and precise than the ML's gooey rack. The Airmatic electronically adjustable suspension seemed gimmicky, however, as switching from "Comfort" to "Sport" merely increased impact harshness without noticeably reducing body roll. 06 April 2010 Generational Equity Complaints )
Honda Civic Hybrid: Performance
Our 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid featured the 110-horsepower 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine (the only option for the hybrid sedan) coupled with an electric motor that kicks in 20 more hp, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Civic Hybrid is a little different from hybrids from other manufacturers in that the electric motor assists the gasoline engine when it needs it, but can't power the vehicle on its own (as Toyota's system can). Honda calls it Integrated Motor Assist.
BMW M3 Coupe
Design/Fit and Finish
The M3's interior is rather plain, save for the splashes of aluminum trim (included in the Premium Package), though materials and build quality are excellent. Those looking for a more luxurious vibe can choose dark wood trim in lieu of the aluminum, provided they opt for the Premium Package.(20 May 2010 Generational Equity Complaints )
