New Kia Soul 2010 Reviews

Cars are not investments but since a Soul isnt an Honda or Toyota, it will depreciate very quickly. The 2010 Soul is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in 4 trims, ranging from the Base to the Sport. Upon introduction, the Base is equipped with a standard 1.6-liter, I4, 122-horsepower engine that achieves 26-mpg in the city and 31-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The Sport is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 142-horsepower engine that achieves 24-mpg in the city and 30-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.
With this said, I am planning to drive it until the wheels fall off. Thank goodness for the superior warrenty.
I love this little car with a huge interior. I went to the beach with my sister's and my family, We rode two hours in her car one day and about an hour in my car. My wife sat in the back seat both trips and was much more comfortable in my car compared to a Maxima. Of course the Soul has a very small trunk but we didnt have any trouble getting our stuff to the beach.
I test drove, a Nissan Cube and a Scion. The Soul had better pick up than either car which is ultimately why I got it.
The sound system is wonderful as well as the Blue tooth. I origanally was not going to renew the Sirius Radio but I think I will when it goes out.
I like this car better than my wife's 2008 Honda CRV because of the standard features. Like I mentioned earlier I took the Soul to the beach and left the CRV which doesnt have as much room as the Soul in the back seat.
I bought an IPod because of the USB port which I enjoy also

2010 Aprilia Mana GT ABS Review

It’s a lovely creation from Aprilia and if you add the GT’s extra practicality it’s even better. There are better handling bikes out there and the Shiver 750 GT is one of them, but I’ve already made my mind up if the choice were between the two. The Mana is the Manna for me, but then again I get to have fun on other bikes all the time.
If you want to learn more about riding motorcycles then the Mana falls short. It’s lacking a gearbox and clutch and as such doesn’t teach you how to ride a conventional motorcycle. However, if you don’t care about that so much then the Mana GT is the most practical thing in the world. One thing to consider is that if you do get tired with the Mana after a while there’s nothing similar to upgrade to and you simply have to learn how to ride a regular motorcycle. That said, I believe there’s a definite market for this motorcycle and the biggest customer group should be current car drivers or scooter riders. For everyone else it’s something worth trying, but not necessarily the answer to your future two-wheeled cravings.
For city usage the 76 horsepower 850cc V-twin responds immediately and with more than enough power to leave cars far behind. The Mana is a perfect city vehicle with motorbike performance and scooter twist and go properties. Life is busy in the city so if you can leave the gearing for the machine to worry about there’s one less thing to occupy your thoughts. Add the ABS brakes as well and you only concentrate on pointing the Mana where you want to go.
The Mana is the motorcycle world’s answer to the point and shoot digital camera. It’s just that easy. If you should ever run out of fuel (it’s not easy as the automatic mode is very fuel efficient) you can open the passenger seat and fill up the 4.4-gallon fuel tank.

Nissan Titan Crew Cab 2010 Reviews

After owning a Ford Ranger 6cyl. (which I kind of liked, but too small), and a Chevy Blazer 4.3 V6, which had so many mechanical problems,with only about 90,000 miles on it, cost me a fortune and got rid of it for a Nissan Altima, which I loved, but needed a bigger, and tougher vehicle for the snow and hauling capacity, thus the Nissan Titan Crew Cab 4X4 SE fit the bill. I found the price to be competitive with the Chevy Silverado and the GMC Sierra series, but overall the Titan won me over. The 2009 Titan Crew Cab is a 4-door, up to 6-passenger full size pickup, available in 14 trims, ranging from... read more the XE 4X2 SWB to the LE 4X4 LWB. Upon introduction, the XE 4X2 SWB is equipped with a standard 5.6-liter, V8, 317-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 17-mpg on the highway. The LE 4X4 LWB is equipped with a standard 5.6-liter, V8, 317-horsepower engine that achieves 12-mpg in the city and 17-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.The Titan has a powerful 5.6 V8 and accelerates quickly and smoothly with an optional "shift-on-the-fly" switch on the steering column shifter allowing a full RPM range through gears 1-4 both up and down shifting. It reaches 60MPH in no time and effortlessly. I have since added a K&N air intake which has made it even faster off the start and added somewhere between 7-11HP to the 317HP that the Titan comes with from the factory. I also added a bed cover which has increased my fuel economy (that is if I can manage to keep my foot from being too heavy) to between 14-17MPG in the city, and near 24MPG or better on the highway.The Titan handles well for a full size pick-up with 18 inch tires, and takes the bumps just as well, but hold on because it comes stock with Rancho Shocks and they are a bit stiff. The clearance from the ground is unmatched with that of other pick-ups I had looked at and it's undercarriage is packaged well with steel skid plates protecting the fuel tank and the front underside of the engine. Should you have to crawl underneath, it is no problem to slide under this beast. It also comes stock with Dyna front and rear axles which handle the torky engine putting out 385 ft/lbs of tork at about 3700 RPM. That's impressive if you ask me. If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, like I do, the Titan goes through a foot of it like it wasn't even there!! No doubt the Titan has many features, like a rear power window with defroster even, and tons of storage compartments, cup holders and a decent sound system too boot. Quite a bang for the buck!! Too bad they are considering a discontinuation. Nissan may want to rethink that, and simply make some minor improvements to stay on the road with the others

The 2009 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser

The 2009 FJ Cruiser is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 3 trims, ranging from the 4X2 to the 4X4 AT.This is just about my all time favorite of them all. I average 19.8 mpg with 50/50 highway & city driving (keep in mind, I don't have the roof rack and I keep the tires inflated to near max, if you get the roof rack and run 30 psi in the tires, you'll get about 17mpg, I also use amsoil synthetic oil in the engine and gear lube in the axles & T-case, this made about a 1mpg addition).
It's fun to drive, plenty of power, rides great, built like a tank. I do all my own maintenance on it because I like it that much, I don't want any jiffy lube jockies working on it. I haven't done that in years. I like the way it looks, LOVE the visibility out the front and sides because of the windshield being near vertical.
Upon introduction, the 4X2 is equipped with a standard 4.0-liter, V6, 239-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 21-mpg on the highway. The 4X4 AT is equipped with a standard 4.0-liter, V6, 239-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic

2010 Yamaha WR250X Review : Strong Supermoto

Overall, we came away from our time with the WR more impressed that we thought we might. This slightly-less-than-super supermoto bike gave us more grins than we’d anticipated. As expected, it excels on lower-speed twisty roads, and it does a fine job in a commuter role around town. And, while it’s not an ideal touring mount, it surprised us most by being adequate at highway speeds. It is more than suitable for an hour’s worth of freeway travel while heading for serpentine canyons on which to humiliate larger-displacement sportbikes, piloted by lesser riders.
While the WR250X isn’t an ideal choice for a bargain hunter who is shopping for an inexpensive commuter bike, it has plenty of high-end details and useful features baked into it that add up to a unique sporting machine a gearhead can be proud of.
We liked it so much that we’re not yet ready to give it back. So we’re fitting some Yamaha accessories to it while we wait for a Kawi KLX250SF test mule. Is the more powerful WR $900 better than the new KLX-SF? And, if we’re lucky, we might toss in the DR-Z400SM to see which Japanese manufacturer has the best overall supermoto package for the dollar. This is gonna be fun!

The WR gets kudos for its light weight (299 lbs ready to ride with a tank of fuel) and for its nimbleness, but short people will wish for a seat height lower than the WR’s 35.2 inches. Steering effort (if you can call it that) is incredibly light thanks to a wide motocross-style handlebar, and its super-tight turning radius makes it easy to maneuver in the garage and when filtering through traffic. However, clutch engagement a bit lurchy and inconsistent, while the gearbox is occasionally notchy.
No worries about this little ripper of a motor. The 250cc liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with two titanium intake valves and two steel exhausts features a fuel-injection system that takes input from a crank sensor, intake air pressure sensor and throttle position sensor. The compact ECU also controls an EXUP exhaust valve to broaden the powerband. Valve-adjustment intervals are a lengthy 26,000 miles.
