The Nissan Juke's distinctive styling is a real eye-opener, but it's the Juke's spirited performance and handling – not to mention its reasonable price – that really makes this small crossover really stand out from the crowd, says Editor Greg Wilson. 
Refreshed exterior styling, a new interior design, improved entertainment and communications technology, two new engines, and improved ride, handling and braking are the highlights of the 2011 Ford Edge, which is already on sale, reports Grant Yoxon. 
The "nimble and versatile" Mazda2 hatchback starts at just $13,995 for the base GX trim, but after adding the cost of popular options like an automatic transmission and air conditioning, you might as well opt for the $18,195 GS, says Paul Williams. 
Though a new four-cylinder motor is available in the base 2011 Sienna LE minivan, Chris Chase recommends the V6 because it can handle a full load of passengers and cargo and its fuel consumption isn't much worse than the four's. 
The base Impreza sedan appeals to a "broad spectrum of buyers... particularly those who place all-wheel drive high on their wish lists," but its "generic styling and laid-back attitude" make it less appealing "if you're looking for some excitement," says Haney Louka. 
Commonly reported problems with Audi's second generation flagship A8 sedan include overheating, radiator leaks, faulty air suspension, and worn suspension bushings, reports Contributing Editor, Chris Chase. Like most big German cars, it can be expensive to maintain, he says. 
Connecting B.C's Highway 1 and the Coquihalla Highway (97C), Highway 8 follows the Nicola River for about 60 kilometres. "Few highways can compare when it comes to delivering an exhilarating driving experience," says Russell Purcell. 
Technical Editor Jim Kerr compared the performance of Cooper's new winter tire, the Weather-Master WSC, to the popular Nokian Hakkapeliitta and "was surprised at what he found out." 
The car that brought the Borgward brand to North America, the Isabella was a thoroughly modern, two-door, unit-body car with attractive lines. Production ended in 1961 when the company succumbed to financial difficulties caused by "questionable management."
