The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The same knee-jerk that put drivers into SUVs last decade is taking a lot of them out, and in a lot of cases thats an over-reaction, too. The answer for many isnt "no SUV", its a smarter, right-sized SUV, which in most cases means a crossover. Its been a while since weve done a review of a Chevrolet Equinox, so we borrowed one from Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix for a week. Chevys done a great job of covering a wide price range with the Equinox, which is its smallest crossover. The base model (LS) starts at $22,995 in front-wheel drive. There are three trim levels up from there (1LT, 2LT and LTZ) and all four are also available in all-wheel drive. Ours was the front-wheel drive LTZ. Base price $28,570. Thatll get you the 2.4 liter 4-cylinder ECOTEC engine with 182 horsepower hooked up to a 6-speed automatic transmission and some nice EPA fuel economy estimates: 22 city/32 highway. Also on the standard goodies list: Four wheel anti-lock disc brakes, ...

35 years ago, Volkswagen revolutionized the concept of the small car with the original Golf (sold here for many years as the Rabbit). The basic shape and proportions are still recognizable, but the changes have been evolutionary, and its easy to write off each generation as not having changed that much from the one before. Big mistake. Its impossible to overstate the refinements the 2010 Golf brings to the game....the leap forward it represents from last years model, and how much better it is than virtually everything in its size and price class.                         The first impression of change comes when you sit behind the wheel. VW has upped its game for the Golfs interior. Even in basic black rather than the contrasting tones shown above, its a nicer place to do business...switchgear now more elegant, yet still purposeful and feeling built to last. The 2.5 liter, 5...

The 2012 (and 2013) Toyota Prius C. Theres a school of thought that says hybrid owners like to call attention to their eco-friendly ways. If true, some say it explains why radically-styled hybrids like the Toyota Prius (well, it was radical until it became a best-seller) outsell "stealth" hybrids like the Honda Civic Hybrid, which looks...exactly like every other Honda Civic. So what do you do when the Prius styling is beginning to become mainstream, and youre introducing a smaller, lighter, even more economical Prius...one thats less expensive, to boot? How do those people call attention to themselves? Well, you could paint a huge number of them (including the ones sent to automotive journalists) bright orange. Toyota calls the color "Habanero". I call it "Orange Sherbet With Artificial Coloring".   Rear three-quarters view of the 2012 (and 2013) Toyota Prius C. But thats surface stuff...and there are 8 other colors in which you can get a Prius C, all ...

  The 2011 Kia Optima Turbo. It occurs to me I dont know the Korean word for "hat-trick". Or the one for "three-peat". Its just never come up. Until now. If the face above looks familiar to regular TireKicker readers, thats because it is. Its the Kia Optima Turbo. On September 10, we reviewed the base Optima, on October 11, the Optima Hybrid, and now, on November 19, its the Turbos turn. One car, three powerplants. The  standard Optima has 200 horsepower, the Optima Hybrid packs 166 horsepower from its gasoline engine and an additional 40 from the electric, for a total of 206 (and neither of those cars is slow) and the Optima Turbo brings 274 horses to the party.   Rear view of the 2011 Kia Optima Turbo. You also get a sport-tuned suspension, high performance dampers and 18-inch tires with Sport Design Alloy wheels...which are controversial, but we like em. The rest of the car? Loaded like Lindsay Lohan on a Friday night. Dual-zone climate control, AM/FM/CD/mp...

Weve said it before, well say it again. If you want to know the basic goodness of a car, spend some time in one that is absolutely box stock, no options whatsoever. Last time around, Scion sent us a tC with about four grand worth of options that, in our opinion, did nothing for the car.  Well, since then, the Scion tC has been re-done...and this time around, they shipped us one with only standard equipment. The only line on the sticker after base price is $720 for delivery. Smart move, because it underscores just how complete a package the tC is.  For $18,995 ($19,275 if equipped with a six-speed automatic like our tester), you get a nimble, stylish 3-door liftback with a 180 horsepower 16 valve DOHC four-cylinder engine, power steering, 18 inch alloy wheels, vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution and brake assist. There are also 10 aribags, a tire pressure monitoring system, a first aid kit, a panoramic glass moonroof wi...

Base price starts at $37,150, and as usual with Infiniti, you get a very complete car, should you wish to go no further: 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, Intelligent Key, pushbutton start, leather-appointed seating, a 7-inch color display, a six-speaker AM/FM/CD/mp3/SiriusXM audio system, tilt/telescope steering column, a full complement of air bags, and a 7-speed automatic transmission, which helps reach the EPA mileage estimate of 19 city/27 highway. Yep, the automatic is standard. If you want the six-speed stick, you need to specify the Sport 6MT trim level, which starts at $43,350, but throws in slicker wheels and standard satellite navigation. Theres also an all-wheel-drive level, the G3...
