2010 Volvo C30 R-Design Review
Volvo’s R-Design package makes the C30 a looker and the price is right, but the premium hatchback’s performance level isn’t up to the competition.
2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review
It’s no exotic sportscar but the MX-5 Miata delivers an outstanding driving experience with excellent fuel-economy at a great price.
2009 Volvo XC70
Both impressive to look at and ride in, the safe-as-a-vault XC70 also weighs as much as one, putting a strain on the turbocharged six-cylinder.
2009 Nissan Quest
With its supermodel good looks… Just kidding! The Nissan Quest has a lot of attractive features, even if the package it’s wrapped in isn’t all that appealing.
2009 Scion xB Review
The second-generation xB has grown considerably from the original, offering a larger package, with lots more storage space and a more powerful engine. Fuel-economy may have suffered in the growth process, but that’s about it, as the boxy Scion continues to be one funky compact.
2009 Lexus IS350 F-Sport Review
The F-Sport equipped IS350 gets a long list of modifications and while it’s not really any faster in a straight line, the added handling and braking capabilities make it a lot more fun and a better track contender.
2009 Lexus IS350
You have to love the available power from the IS350’s naturally aspirated V6. What you don’t have to love are the steering and transmission.
