The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 2012


The Jeep Wrangler has long been known as the vehicle of choice for serious off-roaders everywhere. That is why a Jeep Wrangler was named "4x4 of the Decade" by Four Wheeler Magazine and "best new car for off-roaders" in 2010 by Cars.com. After my test drive of the new 2012 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sport today I think it is a vehicle of serious consequence for highway and city drivers as well.

In 2011 Chrysler unleashed its V6 Pentastar engine as an option in many of its Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. It entered the Jeep line-up in 2011 as the V6 alternative to the V8 Hemi in the Grand Cherokee. To the surprise of many this vehicle delivered horsepower like a V8 and fuel economy like a 4 cylinder. In 2012 Jeep has put this successful power plant in its Wranglers, replacing the 3.8 L V6 that replaced the old inline 6 in 2007. Many Jeep aficionados have long-awaited the arrival of the new 2012 with its Pentastar engine and its 285 hp replacing the 202 hp 3.8L. In addition, the new motor is paired with a 5 speed automatic transmission which delivers smoother performance and better fuel economy.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2011


Meet the new 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and experience the thrill that a top notch SUV offers, without actually burning holes in your pocket. Mitsubishi plans on positioning this car at the bottom end of Outlander line-up. Even though it shares the platform with the larger Outlander, it has some key design differences, and improvement in capabilities. The new Outlander varies the space a lot better when compared to the earlier outgoing Outlander before the facelift was given. Speaking with respect to cabin quality, you are stepping into the world of tranquility when you take a long drive in the new 2011 Outlander Sport.

Under the Hood
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline-four engine that delivers 148 hp and 145 pound-feet of torque. The transmission offered in the ES is a 5-speed manual. A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is available on the SE models. On the SE trim, front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional. As with the regular Outlander, AWD models feature 3- driver-selectable modes to optimize traction.

Range Rover Evoque - A Female Perspective


There has been loads of press coverage on the release of this car, with a lot of focus on Victoria Beckham's involvement in the design of the trim and interior. This may be enough to make female drivers in particular quite excited, but there is more to this car than celebrity involvement to get excited about. It is frequently being referred to as 'the new baby Range Rover' but it's not just smaller in size (which does make it easier to park, always a plus!) The Evoque is also cheaper than the average Range Rover - the lead-in price is under £30k and goes up to around £45K, which is over half the price of the 'big' Range Rover. It is also greener with CO2 emissions between less than 130g/km and 199g/km. This car is the perfect choice for those who are both economically and environmentally conscientious.
