Audi TT Review

the Audi TT handsomely executed interior left no discernible traces of the car's rather humble VW Golf roots. Named after the Tourist Trophy motorsports event held on the Isle of Man (in which a predecessor of the Audi brand competed), the "Audi TT" is not quite a sports car, not quite a sport coupe or roadster. The Audi TT has the low-slung look and feel of a sports car, but its dynamic personality is closer to that of a luxury sport coupe. The greater majority of consumers, however, who desire a sporty coupe or roadster with energetic performance and a heavy accent on style, should be more than happy with the Audi TT. The Audi TT is available...

2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo is the Perfect

Hyundai is saying goodbye to the six-cylinder Sonata. For context, the 2010 Sonata's 3.3-liter V-6 put out 249 horsepower at 6000, 229 pound-feet at 4500, and 19/29 mpg, while the 2011 Toyota Camry's stout 3.5-liter six delivers 269 horsepower at 6200, 248 pound-feet at 4700, and 19/28 mpg. Just as notable is the 2.0T's overall weight savings compared to the aforementioned six-cylinder cars -- both the 2010 Sonata V-6 and 2011 Camry SE V-6 weigh around 3500 pounds, meaning the 2011 Sonata 2.0T tips the scales with as much as 150 fewer pounds. Being free of that unnecessary weight helps the Sonata 2.0T produce not only its frugal fuel-econ figures...

Nissan Navara Reviews

Nissan Navara Reviews Nissan’s big Navara pickup has been one of those niche products with staying power. People liked the Spanish-built Nissan Navara chunky looks and separate chassis, with a switchable two/four-wheel-drive system which gave it genuine skills off tarmac, and Nissan sold far more “Navara pick ups” than they did Pathfinder 4×4s, which were essentially the same vehicles, but with big, station wagon bodies and independent coil spring rear suspensions, rather than the pick up’s rear axle’s hefty leaf springs. The Nissan Navara claimed combined 33.2mpg is a notable improvement on the old model’s 28.8mpg. With stiff rear springs (intended...

Nissan Leaf 99 mpg, will be introduced in some U.S. markets in December

The Nissan Leaf electric car, which has been given an official EPA fuel economy rating of 99 mpg, will be introduced in some U.S. markets in December. All cars must be given an EPA fuel economy label rating in order to be sold in the United States. The EPA created the “mpg-equivalent” rating because the Nissan Leaf uses electricity and not gasoline for fuel. The 99 mpg rating will make Leaf the most efficient mid-sized vehicle sold. Nissan has been heavily promoting the Leaf as having a full driving range on a complete charge of about 100 miles, but the label it provides says the Leaf gets just 73 miles on a full charge.
