Pros

It's a truck, not a cross over. Great looks. Capable off road.

Cons

Gas milage, interior, and it's a Chrysler

Purchased As New

This isn't the SUV for everyone. But for me, it was the right choice. First off, these can be had very cheap. I walked out the door for $20,000 even including tax and title. Second, it's a real truck, so I can do light duty on the trails in Northern Arizona. Then again, it does have 20? rims, which looks great, but really reduces the off road capability. Still, when you drive on the smooth roads of Phoenix, having that rim really helps plant the car. Previously, I?ve had plenty of sports cars that were far rougher than this, but I can see others looking for more refinement. The size was the biggest draw for me. My wife had a RAV4 when we met, and it was far too small. We looked at the Escape and thought the same thing. The full size SUVs were far too large for us as well. This was the only domestic branded SUV that fit the size we wanted. Performance is adequate for me. I traded in a Cadillac CTS, and it?s slightly below that. Again, it?s not a speed demon like the rides I had when I was younger, but it gets the job I want done. About the only concern I have is the reliability. That seems to be a tossup when you buy a Chrysler.

For all will be given the formula of 5-year warranty, including roadside assistance.

2011 Honda CBR250R Review and Specification

Motorcycle.com reported that the attractively faired CBR250R looks a full-size bike. This sporty quarter-liter motorcycle resembles Honda’s VFR1200F, also sporting a mass-centralized stance. The front fairing extends down to shroud its engine bay, and a curved visor provides ample high speed wind protection, wrapping around a sporty cockpit.

Neat attention to detail is apparent in the attractive steering head region, and you get clip-ons mounted above the triple clamp. We liked the 250R’s blue backlit LCD instruments with silver trim and a compact, easily deciphered layout. An analog tachometer dominates this bay, while you also see a bold digital speedometer, in addition to odometer, trip-counter, clock, fuel and temperature readouts. Switches include all you require, while there are smart buffed-alloy levers and nice feeling palm grips, although we missed the functionality of an adjustable clutch lever.

The tank looks and feels nice thanks to perfectly sculpted knee grooves. Futuristic flank panels swoop back into a bi-color tail, split grab bars and angular brake warning light. There’s also a sharp belly pan, stubby silencer crafted from blackened stainless steel and well-defined footrests. A utility box tucks under the CBR250R’s split seats.

onda has developed a new 249cc, 4-stroke, dual-overhead-camshaft engine for the CBR250R. The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powerplant is fuel-injected via a twin-beam, Honda PGM-FI system.

The centrifugal cast, thin-wall cylinder sits 4mm offset from the crankshaft center towards the exhaust side to reduce friction between the cylinder and molybdenum-coated piston. There’s a textured sleeve exterior for better heat dispersion, while the combustion chamber uses pentroof architecture. An iridium spark-plug is deployed in the new engine that uses four lightweight valves propped up on slender stems. The CBR250R enjoys the world’s first roller rocker arms on any DOHC engine, with tappet clearance relying on shim adjustment.

Peak power at the crankshaft is stated to be 25.8 hp at 8500 rpm, while a maximum torque figure of close to 16.6 ft-lb at 7000 rpm is to be expected, varying from market to market.

That reads all very well on paper, but feels more fun commanded by your own enthusiastic wrist. The engine note is pleasantly gruff yet soft. Engine revs build with a willing thrum the instant you select first, open throttle and let out the well-weighted clutch. Throttle response is crisp, the CBR250R enjoying a wide, thoroughly refined powerband even novices wont hesitate to exploit. Revs rise in a smooth, purposeful rush through an adequate low end, meeting a meaty midrange and frantic top-end rush as expected from the short-stroke powerplant.

New 2011 Ford Focus: price from 15,995 pounds in Britain

Published: Thursday, December 16, 2010 by Alison

Ford Focus and Focus ST - Paris Motor Show 2010 Vista at the Motor Show.

The price we may as well be, the line is nice, but I did not like the interior. It seems that they wanted to force to fill all the space they had available, the console is nothing short of prominent, slightly confusing controls and generally less space than Bravo and Golf, both front and rear.

Static is better than the previous year but still below the first serieIl debut of the new Ford Focus in Europe is coming: Today the UK subsidiary Blue Oval has announced pricing for this important C-segment model, which in Britain will have a base price of 15,995 pounds.

The new Focus will be launched in the UK next March and will offer as standard on all trim Torque Vectoring Control-also standard on the recent C-Max, a stereo with both Bluetooth and USB port, voice control, front airbags , side and curtain airbags, ABS, ESP and Isofix attachments for child seats in the rear. A lovely set of hi-tech equipment, no doubt about it.

The base program, called Edge, is offered as we said at the opening to 15,995 pounds with the 1.6 105 bhp petrol and 16,995 with the 1.6 TDCi 95 bhp. The aspirated petrol Zetec is also proposed under construction at a price of 16,995 pounds, that list includes 16-inch alloy wheels, heated windshield and retroivisori, leather steering wheel, sport seats and fog lamps.Ford Focus and Focus ST - Paris Motor Show 2010Ford Focus and Focus ST - Paris Motor Show 2010Ford Focus and Focus ST - Paris Motor Show 2010Ford Focus and Focus ST - Paris Motor Show 2010
