Honda CR-V EX-L Function
Even though the CR-V is one of the smaller compact crossovers available, it's designed to make efficient use of the space it does have. Maximum cargo capacity is a generous 73 cubic feet, which equals that of the Toyota RAV4 and bests the Mazda CX-7 by 14 cubes, even though the Honda is shorter in overall length than both vehicles.

There are plenty of storage bins tucked away in nearly every usable corner of the vehicle, including a sizable one up front near the passenger's footwell. The center armrest/storage bin is nice and big, too, but it has two doors that open separately. At first, this makes about as much sense as Madonna's accent; however, the split makes it possible to access stored stuff without dislodging your co-pilot's elbow. It's a nice idea, but it doesn't work so well in execution since there are very few things that actually fit through the half-open slot.
The same goes for the center stack and the audio system controls. They look nice, but there are a lot of buttons in a small space. It all makes sense once you know what you're looking at, but the learning curve is a little steep. The navigation system (it's standard on the Sport trim level) is feature-packed, but it's easy to use and understand and boasts a large screen.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD CRD: Design/Fit and Finish
The 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited comes standard with Sirius Satellite Radio (a one-year subscription is included) and the MyGIG multimedia entertainment system. Audio controls are conveniently mounted on the steering wheel and the sound quality was impressive. The Limited model now comes with a rear camera as standard equipment, and, while the display was a bit blurry on our test car, this is an important safety feature for families with small children.

Blog Ryan Binkley : Pontiac Vibe GT Performance
At a combined 19.3 mpg, reported fuel economy is unimpressive, and dips below EPA estimates. Those estimates peg the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT at 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. These numbers trail those achieved by competitors like the Mazda3 and Honda Fit, and mark the GT as somewhat of a laggard in this category.
Braking performance is average. At the track, the wagon ground to a halt from 60 mph in 127 feet. The best performers in this class get the job done in about 120 feet. When experienced in real-world driving, pedal feel is pleasantly firm. Brake pedals also exhibits consistent firmness when pushed at the track.
Ryan Binkley Bio
Mazda MAZDA6By now, most non-cave-dwellers are aware that Mazda is the self-proclaimed performance brand from Japan. Generally speaking, Mazda's got a point, as most of its cars are indeed sportier than rival models. However, the 2009 Mazda Mazda6 s doesn't quite fit the mold. Make no mistake — this 6 is one of the best midsize sedans on the market, thanks to significant bumps in size and power relative to its predecessor. It's just no longer the sports car in sedan clothing that Mazda's marketing mavens make it out to be. (Wednesday 10 October 2007 : Ryan Binkley Info)
