2011 Honda Pilot 4WD Touring

The family Crossover Utility Vehicle segment is, to put it mildly, crowded. Every major automaker has at least one option from which to choose. Ford has four choices, while Toyota makes due with three options. Some models feature two rows of seating, while others boast room for up to eight. Then there are the more off-road capable options to contrast with the docile soft-roaders.

2011 Chevrolet Volt

There's something to be said for being at the right place at the right time. Had our primordial ancestors evolved legs and lungs while the entire globe was still awash in warm sea water, they would have gone belly up and we might have never made it to the top of the food chain. At this point in history, our entire species can thank generations of ancestors for not being squished, drowned, beaten, eaten or stabbed before cranking out offspring that would further the human race. One misstep to the left could have been all it took to eradicate entire lines of Homo sapiens progress.

2011 Kia Sportage SX

There's no replacement for displacement. Ask any man or woman who dined on the muscle cars that Detroit was serving in the '50s and '60s, and they'll tell you to always order the largest engine offered if you want to have any fun. Thing is, that tired old axiom just isn't accurate in the modern era. Downsizing is what's for dinner these days.

2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X

There was a time when body-on-frame SUVs dominated American roads, with nearly every major automaker offering some kind of four-wheeling fighter to suburbia's off-road pretenders. Nissan was no different, and at its peak in 2000, the eminently capable Xterra sold some 88,000 copies – the same year our colleagues at Motor Trend crowned it Sport Utility of the Year.

Toyota RAV4 EV

Ahh, the joys of driving a prototype vehicle. During the annual Toyota Sustainable Mobility Seminar in San Diego, California this week, Toyota brought in a handful of all-electric RAV4 EVs for us to tool around in, but there were some caveats: The route was decidedly highway-free; when it rained one afternoon, we were told it would be better to wait to drive the cars; and one journalist had a problem with his vehicle that made it sluggish. The biggest asterisk in the whole program, though, was that the RAV4 EVs we were testing are only a pale shadow of what the real RAV4 EVs will be like when Toyota releases them in the first quarter of 2012.

Renault Clio Specification Suspension Rebates Price Color Safety Features and Review


Renault Clio Ideal For City Living
The car I’m driving now is an entry-level Extreme model in Mercury silver, equipped with 15'' alloy wheels, manual air conditioning, CD/MP3 player with fingertip controls and front fog lights, along with completely redesign and more room inside than ever before.

First off, let's take a look at the new style. Most noticeable is you can easily see some changes has been made to the dimension, unlike earlier models, this one is designed with larger body size and thus, more room for both passenger legs and boot.

Currently Renault Clio is offered with 2 models in the same dimension: 3-door model and 5-door model.
Renault Clio Ideal For City Living
On the first look, I was quite impressed with the new Renault Clio style: it has striking exterior design with sleek lines and of course, the famous 'Renault face' as seen on other models. I have to say that even though it is not the sportiest one on the market today, but it’s surely not the ugliest one either.

With the striking Volcano red and Extreme Blue paint colors on the new look, the Clio today is known as a vehicle for men to invest, as opposite to the past, just for “female”.

Step inside to see the interior, the design is quite basic, all just come in plain black: the dashboard, door trims, gear lever and the carpet. The seats, however have a little different: they are covered with 'Papeete' cloth upholstery in black and grey, and the seats is comfortable and easy to adjust.

This entry level comes with a reasonable sound system, includes the standard CD/MP3 player which is easy to navigate, and stereo speakers, but I was a little disappointed because I found no MP3/Aux input in this vehicle, it seems that Renault haven't considered it as a standard on their cars on this modern day.

On the overall, all controls are just easy to reach and operate, you can control the sound system via steering wheel mounted controls, or you can read the fuel consumption, fuel tank figures and service information via the handy trip computer.

As said above, with the new size, there is a pretty much of room for both driver and passengers, making it a comfortable vehicle, compare with the earlier versions.

Under the hood is the 1.2 16V petrol engine outputs 75 bhp and CO2 emissions of 139 g/km. Took it on the city roads, I found out that the car performed very nice, well steering, sharp handling, and the acceleration was quite good. Furthermore, the fuel saving is just impressive. Fuel consumption is good at a speed of 47.9mph.

On the highway, I was a little disappointed because of the sound came from the engine when running in high speed, maybe the engine was not large enough, but for city living, it’s still a nice car.

Overall, the latest generation of Renault Clio is simply just an ideal car for city living. You will get an entry-level model with a reasonable price, starts from £11,040.
