2011 The Jeep Wrangler: 4WD 2dr Sport

The second factor which seems to affect how well the Jeep runs is weight - a small, light child often has difficulty getting the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to move properly, add a second child and the problem seems to be eliminated. Maybe, if you don't have a second child adding some additional weight in the rear storage area of the Jeep may have the same effect?

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler ranks 15 out of 24 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 69 published reviews and test drives of the Jeep Wrangler, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Reviewers love the way the Jeep Wrangler can tackle rugged trails, but hate its clumsy and unrefined road manners.

2011 Jeep Wrangler in Affordable Compact SUVs

Some parents expressed some disappointment that the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon doesn't have proper doors which open and close, but the majority of the kids thought the rugged grab bars "cool" just like the pretend seat belts which encourage good car habits for the future. To the rear you will find a storage area so the kids can pack up a picnic for the long journey ahead. Other parents and kids would like to see more features like a working radio which some other "ride ons" are fitted with.

Exterior highlights include an Islander "Tiki Bob" decal on the hood, blackside steps and Moab 17-inch wheels wrapped in 32-inch tires.

Inside, the Wrangler Islanders get seats in dark gray with Surf Blue inserts, blue stitching and an embroidered Islander "Tiki Bob" logo. Blue stitching has also been added to the leather-wrapped steering wheel while the Mopar rubber floor mats complete the list of upgrades.

the 2012 All New Chevrolet Sonic

With the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic, GM is taking its small car destiny in its own hands, bringing its Honda Fit fighter home to America--at least in terms of design and production. Unlike previous generations of the Aveo, the Sonic will be mostly homegrown.

According to a report from GM Inside News, the next-gen Chevrolet Aveo will be renamed “Sonic” when it goes on sale next year.

Word around the auto block is that Chevrolet will be scrapping the Aveo name for its next generation B-segment hatchback set to be sold next year, instead opting for a cooler-sounding name – the Chevrolet Sonic.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic is a small car, which the new car is roomy, stylish and fun to drive, and Sonic is a youthful, energetic name that helps convey what this vehicle is about.

2011 New Chevrolet-Camaro

Wind is no better. As the wind flies around the place, it whips up with it all sorts of 'goodies'. Sticks, stones and other bits of rubble get caught up in the storm and as they fly past, the scratch and dent cars. These small little nicks and dings everywhere are unsightly, and cost a pretty penny to fix up.

Last year, the new Camaro was everywhere, from the silver screen to Wal-Mart parking lots, reasserting its rightful place in American pop culture. While its cutting-edge styling and nostalgic appeal won an immediate fan base, its raw muscle and performance abilities attracted legions more. "After years of anticipation, Chevy's new Camaro not only lives up to the hype but also redefines what a muscle car can be," writes Edmunds.

The Chevrolet Camaro is a car that fits the mid-price segment; at $22995

The high levels of acid in today's rain means that the paintwork disintegrates in the rain. The car's exterior is left with horrible watermarks and chipped paint. It's not a very pleasant sight to behold.

The Big Three are at war, battling for the coveted title of baddest muscle car on the block. As the competition heats up, General Motors is showing no signs of backing down. For 2011, Chevrolet ups the ante with performance figures that it believes are more reflective of the Camaro’s performance abilities and, even better, a gorgeous convertible body style. The Camaro was named Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" in 2010.

2011 Ford Escape is Affordable Compact SUVs

It seems that Blue Oval hasn’t decided yet if the current names will be dropped in favor of a single moniker, in order to create another global car in the likes of the new Fiesta and Focus models.

Moving production to the U.S. is another point on Ford’s agenda. It’s likely that the new car will be manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, while the German factory in Saarlouis will keep the European production of the new Focus.

The Escape is Ford's mid-size SUV with credentials that make it equally suited to urban commutes or weekend off road outings in the country. The Escape is available in XLS, XLT or Limited trim levels with either front or four wheel drive. The XLS model features a 171 horsepower 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine mated with a five-speed manual gearbox.

XLS models have standard 16 inch wheels, full power accessories, remote keyless locks, and a modest audio system that has 4 speakers. Though the basic models don't offer a lot in the form of modern amenities, they have just enough to make long trips more than bearable. XLT trim packages come with fog lamps, electric powered seats, steering wheel accessory controls, satellite radio, optional leather seats. Other additional options for XLT models include a sunroof, 17 inch alloy wheels, and an expanded audio system.

Escape Interior - 7.1 (Good)

Over the past few years, the Escape has made significant improvements in its interior comfort and quality. Reviewers especially like the softer materials in the cabin, along with high-tech options like the SYNC infotainment system. However, some reviewers are still disappointed in the materials quality and styling.

Acura MDX shines with its powerful V6 engine

with its seating for seven and space for three car seats, the MDX makes a strong case for itself as a family vehicle. Consumer Guide says the MDX “has contemporary styling and thoughtful features. MDX has a highly desirable blend of luxury, performance, and convenience.” Most car reviewers wholeheartedly second that take.

In case you are buying a car like the Acura MDX, the last may be a very affordable price. This is because this vehicle is basically a mid-sized SUV. By concentrating on three main factors again, you can minimize the amount you will be entitled to pay every year for the Acura MDX insurance. The first one is the ratings provided for the car. There are many authorized organizations which conduct crash tests and publish reports on the car performance.

Additionally, the performance of aftermarket spare parts is inconsistent at best. Thus, it may be a good idea to invest in the original equipment manufacturer parts since they are superior in quality and, in most cases, have a warranty by your car manufacturer.
In addition to spare parts, car accessories and performance parts are also available for Acura MDX. These include but are not limited to;

Whenever you buy a car, there are three factors that you need to consider apart from the main criterion - the cost of the car. They are fuel costs (check the engine performance and mileage provided by the car and review the fuel prices), regular maintenance expenses (this of course greatly depends on your driving habits) and finally the insurance costs.

2010 The Nissan Altima Hybrid

Fourth Generation Nissan Altima parts come with several enhanced features to improve the overall performance of the car. The improved version of the fourth generation has a new front, wheelbase which is about 1 inch shorter than the third generation Altima, revised version of engines such as VQ35DE 3.5 L V6 with 277 hp and QR25DE 2.5 L straight-4 with 177 hp capacity, and an upgraded version of rear suspension. The traditional automatic and optional transmissions have been replaced by a continuously variable 6-speed transmission system too.

The new photo confirms that the 2010 Altima sedan gets a new front grille, tweaked headlamps that look a bit like the ones featured on the now discontinued 350Z, a restyled front bumper with three separate air-intakes and a more sculpted hood plus new alloy wheel designs.

2011 Fourth Generation Nissan Altima Hybrid

Nissan Altima is a mid-sized car that offers more space, more power, and more luxury than its predecessor Nissan Bluebird and is ranked above the Nissan Sentra model. The fourth generation Nissan Altima was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in 2006 and is the first car to use the Nissan D platform, which is also used in Nissan Maxima and Nissan Murano.

About a month after an example of the refreshed 2010 Nissan Altima was snapped on the road during a commercial shoot out, Nissan decided to sate our appetites with the release of a single teaser image of its redesigned mid-size sedan. From what we can tell by looking at the photo, changes for the 2010 model year include a new front grille, tweaked headlamps, a newly designed front bumper and the more sculpted bonnet.

2011 Lotus Exige: 2dr Coupe S 240

I don't pretend to know much about cars, but I know what I like and I like Lotus cars. They're sexy, fast, fun to drive and you're guaranteed to turn heads when you're driving one, and isn't that what driving is all about? The model I like in particular is the Lotus Exige S. Ok, so it's not the easiest of cars to get into, but once you mastered the art of that it's actually a very comfortable ride. There's not buckets of space inside the cabin, but this isn't a car you'd take on a camping trip - this car was made for driving.

A lotus experience is a great choice of experience day for anyone who wants a real joy of a car to drive as well as something that's going to shift pretty quickly and provide a rewarding drive when cornering at high speed!

When you're buying a Lotus, you don't want to be driving it in the city. Sitting in traffic jams, praying for temporary lights to stay green ("please don't change!"), and avoiding potholes and speed bumps is hardly fun. No, a Lotus is meant for the open road - the wide, open, twisty roads of the British countryside where the only hold up is when you pull over to admire the view.

Thrilling Driving experiences will leave you with a natural high, the speed, acceleration, and sound of a stupidly high powered car revving it's nuts off really is quite something. Contact us for experience dates, trackday locations or any driving experience you require.

The sports cars transmission comes in manual or automatic versions and some race enthusiasts will enjoy the optional seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. The value of the seventh speed allows highway drivers to save as much as 11% on fuel economy, but Porsche also offers emissions upgrades to make the Boxster sound better than competition too.

Porsche Boxster had its initial launch in the 1990s. The comfort offered by Boxster is exceptional and unique. The smooth handling of Porsche Boxster models and their parts were positive aspects.


Surprisingly, these cars are fairly fuel efficient at 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway with the seven speed transmission. But, these cars require premium fuel in the expansive 16.9 gallon fuel tank.

New 2010 Kia-Optima is a Powerful cars

Ever see a TV car commercial and wonder what the song was? I have and I know you have too! The song may be catchy, a great cover or for whatever reason you have to know the song and probably run out to buy it.

In its third model year (2003), the Optima's front end was restyled, which gave it a more upscale European look. In addition, Kia began to offer Sportmatic manual-shift capability on four-cylinder automatic Kia Optimas. The biggest improvement of the new Kia Optima is its exterior look. Unlike the previous generation of Optima's, this vehicle is actually based on the Hyundai Elantra HD (2007-) platform. Like the Sonata, the Optima is also longer and taller than the previous model and has a longer wheelbase. The differences between the Optima and Sonata are mostly in styling details, though the Kia is priced at $500 less.

2011 The Tesla Roadster Sport cars

Eberhard's aim was to develop a car that ran on sustainable energy while, unlike all its competitors, being practical enough to use every day. The difficulty was developing the technology and putting it in a car everybody could afford. The answer was simple; they decided that their first venture would have to start out like the high tech gadgets, hyped-up, over priced and rare, becoming cheaper with time and volume. This would mean that the first line of consumers would fund the development of the company.

The Tesla Roadster provides 100 percent of its available torque all of the time, from 0 to 14,000 rpm, allowing it to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph at break-neck speed. What's more, it can travel up to 220 miles without a recharge, maxes out at 125 mph, and doesn't require a single drop of gas. Sports performance aside, the environmental benefits alone are astounding.
