| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:51 PM PDT  The Jeep Compass is a compact hatchback pitched to shoppers as a rally-influenced crossover. It's a mechanical twin to the more rugged-looking Jeep Patriot, but lacks its more cohesive looks and shares its underwhelming powertrain. The chunky Compass five-door was introduced for the 2007 model year, and has returned for the 2014 model year though...      |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:49 PM PDT  The MINI Countryman remains an unusual offering for the U.S. market, as it's one of few truly compact crossovers on the market. Rivals, as of yet, include the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, the BMW X1, and the Buick Encore, although other models like the Audi Q3 are slated to arrive soon. Be sure to see our full review of the 2013 MINI Countryman...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:38 PM PDT  The Jeep Wrangler may be the most widely recognized vehicle on the planet. Part off-roader, part style icon, part convertible, the Wrangler owes its image and its existence to the original military-grade Jeeps of the World War II era. The Wrangler name was adopted in the 1980s, and since then, it's been one of the hallmarks of the Jeep brand...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:23 PM PDT  The Lincoln MKT is a large crossover wagon that seats up to seven people and can carry a vast amount of cargo, while wearing a luxury nameplate and a distinctive--some say too distinctive--set of sheetmetal panels. It joined the Lincoln lineup for the 2010 mode year, slotted beneath the full-size, truck-based Navigator SUV and above the...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:22 PM PDT  The Smart ForTwo is the smallest car you can drive legally on highways in the United States. The two-seat minicar has been on sale since 2008, though it's been around in Europe since the late 1990s, and only in the past year has it acquired a natural archrival in the shape of the pint-sized, somewhat similar Scion iQ. The Smart has struggled to...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 01:03 PM PDT  The MINI Cooper is best known as a hatchback; but the nameplate now includes a lineup of convertibles, a Clubman three-door wagon, a two-door Paceman, and even hot John Cooper Works editions. Then there are the low-slung, related MINI Cooper Coupe and Roadster models. Today, the competition for MINI models is wide and varied, running from small...   |
| Honda Pilot, Acura MDX Recall Deals With Brake Problem Posted: 14 Mar 2013 11:19 AM PDT  A new recall of certain 2005 Honda Pilot SUVs, 2005 and 2006 Acura MDX luxury SUVs, and 2005 Acura RL sedans is expected to isolate a problem that may cause the brakes to trigger without warning. A notice on the Honda website details the approximate recall population of 182,600 vehicles as follows: 2005 Honda Pilot – approximately 101,000...   |
| Nissan Recalls 2013 Altima, Pathfinder, Leaf, Sentra, Infiniti JX35 For Airbag Problem Posted: 14 Mar 2013 09:09 AM PDT  Nissan is recalling five of its 2013 models for faulty sensors that may permanently turn off the front seat passenger airbag. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website lists the recalled vehicles as the 2013 Nissan Altima mid-size sedan, the Pathfinder SUV, the Leaf electric car, the Sentra compact sedan, and...   |
| 2013 Nissan Sentra Recalled For Fuel Tank Defect Posted: 14 Mar 2013 09:08 AM PDT  Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall of a small number of 2013 Sentra compact cars because they may have fuel tank assemblies that were not properly sealed. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website puts the number of vehicles potentially affected at 392. Affected vehicles were built from September 11...   |
| Would You Carry A Breathalyzer In Your Car? Will You Be Required To? Posted: 14 Mar 2013 08:30 AM PDT  Drunk driving is a big problem in many parts of the world. In France, for example, it's the leading cause of traffic fatalities, accounting for about one-third of all roadway deaths. Accordingly, last year France passed a law requiring motorists to carry breathalyzers in their cars. That law went into effect on July 1, although fines for violating...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 08:04 AM PDT  See our 2013 Buick Enclave review for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage ratings The Buick Enclave is the GM brand's big family utility vehicle. A crossover that can seat up to eight passengers in three rows, the Enclave is a relative of the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia--and by extension, the now-discontinued Saturn Outlook and...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 08:03 AM PDT  The Buick Enclave is a pretty crossover vehicle that helped Buick usher in a new generation of vehicles and a new sense of style, back when it was new in the 2008 model year. Today, after five years on sale, it's still a strong seller, and it's grown more accomplished for 2013 with the addition of new features and with a more refined...   |
| Ford Recall, BMW And Audi Diesels, Ferrari Drivers: Today's Car News Posted: 14 Mar 2013 07:59 AM PDT  Today at The Car Connection, Ford issued a recall on three 2013 models and Fisker Automotive's co-founder Henrik Fisker left the company. Nissan introduced a new marketing direction for the Leaf electric car, and new diesel-powered luxury vehicle options are coming to the U.S. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car...   |
| China's Next Big Thing: Buying Cars From SkyMall Posted: 14 Mar 2013 07:30 AM PDT  SkyMall is the Hammacher Schlemmer of the skies: a catalog of the utterly useless and completely extravagant that we may pull out of the seat pocket in front of us when we're cruising at 36,000 feet, but we typically don't take too seriously. But what if there were more to SkyMall? What if, instead of featuring corporate gifts like silver-plated...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 07:27 AM PDT  See our 2013 BMW 1-Series review for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage ratings. The BMW 1-Series is the German automaker's most compact offering in the U.S. under its namesake brand. Sold in coupe and convertible form, the 1-Series is small, luxurious, and often pricey. Nevertheless, it offers the excellent handling that's long...   |
