2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 Crossover Review

When you think of a MINI, I highly doubt what comes to mind is any sort of SUV. The MINI has never been a vehicle you were going to toss your crabgrass killer, and a bunch of other yard supplies into and try to haul them anywhere. The new 2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 Crossover is the first dive into the SUV scene for the MINI, however.

With a price tag of $31,150 (includes $700 destination charge, $3,500 in options), 25 mpg city/31 mpg highway/25.4 mpg test drive numbers it is at least competitive with its crossover counterparts. HAving 4 doors on a MINI may sound strange, but that is exactly what you get. The videos below will show you much more of the vehicle in action as well as this full review.

2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited Turbo Review

As our reviewer will say in their opening remarks about the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited Turbo, "Waht's not to like?" is a common theme with this Large Car, one class above competitors like Camry, Altima, Fusion and Malibu. It looks very nice, but the reviewer has much more to say about it.

Taking it from Chicago to Ann Arbor, Michigan, home of your favorite Michigan Wolverines :P, it was driven through the highways during a nice blizzard during his journey with great results and around 34 MPG in the gas tank. I have personally driven this route many times over the years and I-94 is one of the most annoying drives on the trip. Plagued with semis running from Chicago to Detroit you have almost no chance on most days to roll around with the cruise control on since they tend to pull out in front of you randomly going 15-20 MPG slower than you are. Once you hit Chicago though, all bets are off outside of traffic jam hours. You are like a NASCAR racer if you want to live. click here to find the best network cable tester

It was really hard to find any fault with my 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T test car and if I did it would be a nitpick. I had a week of drive time with the Sonata which included a week-end road trip from Chicago to Ann Arbor, Michigan and back. I was happy to be in a car, a sedan, and not a truck for this trip. There was no blizzard, no heavy rain, I wasn’t hauling a lot of stuff, just my wife and I off to a family gathering. full review

2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic Review

Sexy. The 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic that is. Looking like it is ready to leap at you from the front the e350 is one pretty looking ride. Checking in at a base price of nearly $49,000 I hope it will tuck me in at night too, and not be gone when I wake up in the morning. After all I took a diet pill that works fast just to be pretty enough to sit inside this beauty.

Steve Purdy in the Detroit division of The Auto Channel takes us on a road test for the next CILF (hehe) the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic.

The E-Class Coupe is a beautiful car. Yes, I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and indeed subjective, but there’s no denying this one is a head-turner. Bold, brash lines flow from front to rear suggesting a big cat with arched back ready to challenge all comers. Dramatic sculpting along the body sides suggests movement. The pillarless hardtop-coupe design, a rare style today, gives a manufacturer the opportunity to make a serious design statement. Mercedes-Benz has done just that with this E350 Coupe. full review
