japan auto makers are still using the sewing machine egine and cost is the big problem for replace of this belt. They need to go to a steel timing chain like the rest of the good vehicles. I still prefer an America vehicle for comfort and leg room even in the back seat. Toyota has tightened the 2013 up by about 30 percent. The new Avalon isn't exactly going to melt your face, but it's good enough. It still veers away from fun and more towards comfortable, but at least it doesn't feel like you're drifting on an oversized marshmallow. The standard V6 engine, which includes a six-speed transmission, gets up to 268 hp. It's got decent pickup and steering that's at least average, if not better. Higher-end trim models feature a paddle shifter and a Sport mode, though for a car like this, "Dynamic Rev Management" feels a bit superfluous. Also, with a 21/31 mpg fuel economy rating, the Avalon doesn't exactly get to stand first in line for fuel-economy awards.

2013 Audi allroad, A4/S4 and A5/S5
Standard across all A4 and A5 model lines is the 211-hp 2.0-liter turbo engine mated to a choice of a continuously variable transmission, 6-speed manual, or 8-speed automatic gearbox. The higher-performance S4/S5 come standard with the 333-bhp 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 engine with a 6-speed manual or the optional 7-speed dual-clutch. Of note, the S5 is no longer available with the 354-hp 4.2-liter V-8 as seen in the 2012 model year.
Perhaps the best new feature of them all for the 2013 A4/S4s, the A5/S5s, including the allroad, is the Audi connect wireless data service. It allows your car to act as a Wi-Fi hotspot allowing up to eight connected devices in the car, making long road trips more enjoyable for the younger members of the family, and peace and quiet for the adults.
The 2013 allroad's sticker price starts at $39,600, the A4 at $32,500, and the A5 at $37,850. Opt for the speedier versions and the S4 will jump to $47,600, and the S5 to $50,900. All models should be arriving into the showrooms now.

- Good engine and tranny - alot of car for the price
Purchased As New
A very well designed and executed car. The engine is smooth and powerful (v6).. The variable tranny is works very well, delivering power on demand, then dropping the rpms down very low for cruising speed. Very fuel efficient for a v6.
i got 800 kms on my first tank of gas. The ride is a bit too firm, but them all new cars have firm rides now imo.
This car is good for drivers of average to short height. Perfect for me, but could be cramped for for the 6 foot plus crowd.
Braking and handling are also very good.
Car comes loaded with most of the features you could want - at a reasonable price. Give this one a close look.

2013 Audi RS5
Also included in the top quality, $68,900 Typ 8t is a quick-witted 7-speed S-tronic automated transmission with p rigueur clicky steering wheel paddles, blippy throttle downshifts, as well as uniquely grippy launch manage, all of which feeds your own four wheels the torque vectoring Quattro diet full of schreeeeech and vroooom. The Ur upgrade also includes the type of extreme shiny/smoky eye makeup that will earn Rooney Mara a bony fist-bump through Melissa Rivers, the tessellated grille that would generate Crazy Craving to the Honeycomb Hideout, a quartet associated with tail pipe suggestions that are only somewhat less elliptical compared to orbit of Jupiter's four Galilean moons (or even my narrative design), and an available Alu-optic bundle that plates the outside surrounds and inside switchgear with a material which answers the query: what happens when the get rid of combines all the steel, glass, and plastic material from your recycling rubbish bin

I've seen first hand Fords as well as Dodges rolling around there. As well as a lot of Bmw, BMWs and mini-Coopers other well-known European brands. Each and every car manufacturer is within China now with exactly the same cars we have right here (and then some); or various makes for that particular marketplace, which often tend to be an appealing or better performing compared to those redesigned or renamed for the American marketplace. Funny how the world always get the unique and best make of an automobile, and we get some "specially" created version. Then as well, whatever happened to that particular dude that was likely to help Chinese vehicles break into the United states market?

Best SUV Out There by A Yahoo! Autos User
Pros : Really comfortable, well made, great handling, quiet, fast, nice materials
Cons : Sloshing in gas tank, transmission shifts a little early for me
Purchased As New 2012 Acura MDX, We drove Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and for the money... The MDX beat them all. There is a "well madeness" about it all, many nice interior touches and a real joy to drive. First trip was 2,000 mi to Palm Springs and it was first cabin the whole way. The ML350 was a snoozer, the RX350 same, Cayenne WAY overpriced for what you get, and the BMW was agricultural. Great interior and comfort and trim. Some of the a/c, radio switchgear could be simpler, including the hands free voice recognition which was wrong about half the time. Excellent iPod and USB integration for music & phone. There is a reason this was ranked by US&WR as the #1 SUV for the last couple of years... It does everything well and with some authority and class. One test drive back to back will do it.

Can't say enough about this car. The performance, gas mileage along with all the other great features. Also the tech package is well worth the extra money. Plenty of head/leg room for 6 footers. Great job, Acura!
