BRIAN STRASNICK DrTest Drive: 2008 Audi TT Coupe 3.2 QuattroWho Should Buy This Vehicle Someone who adores the styling. Otherwise, the 2008 Audi TT should appeal to sport coupe shoppers who need more practicality than a BMW Z4 coupe or Porsche Cayman can offer. It should also appeal to those who want something smaller than a BMW 335i or Audi's own A5. However, its sport-tuned suspension, taut ride and high price may detract traditional TT buyers who are just looking for a comfortable and well-built cute coupe. 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5GT test drive Since its introduction in 2008, the current version of the Subaru Impreza has been high on my list of recommended cars, largely because of its commitment to safety (standard all-wheel-drive, standard antilock brakes, and, as of 2009, standard electronic stability control) and easy-to-drive nature. 2009 sees the introduction of a new version of the Impreza, the 2.5GT, with more power and creature comforts. So does more Impreza mean a better Impreza? Read on. $27,690 base/as tested, EPA fuel economy estimates 19 MPG city, 24 MPG highway. Willow Laboratories InfoBMW 1 Series 135i ConvertibleSome of us on staff remember the time when BMWs were austere in design and driven by real enthusiasts who appreciated a sprightly, agile and communicative car. Guys and gals who'd have the steering wheel in one hand while working the four-speed manual with the other. Today's Bimmers are still great cars, but some feel that the quintessential sport compact, the 3 Series, has gotten too big, too loaded up with gizmos and too likely to be driven by those who care more about the badge on the hood than the car's sporting capabilities. You know who we're talking about — Ultimate Driving Machine "drivers" who've got a Starbucks in one hand while working a Blackberry with the other. DR BRIAN J STRASNICK : Honda Pilot 4WD Touring Performance We could probably live with this lackluster performance if it came with best-in-class fuel economy. It doesn't, so strike two. Even with Honda's fuel-saving cylinder deactivation system (known as VCM) that shuts down two or three cylinders (depending on driving conditions), the Pilot 4WD still nets an EPA fuel economy average of 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined. That's identical to GM's Acadia/Enclave/Outlook triplets that are larger, more powerful and ultimately better-rounded than the Honda.
