<description><![CDATA[Test date Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Interior quality is good enough to challenge the established competition. Hyundai's first attempt to build a serious luxury saloon capable of challenging BMW, Lexus and Mercedes. Hyundai executives describe the Genesis as being the car they "always wanted to build" - a full-sized executive saloon with rear-wheel drive and a choice of a 4.6-litre V8 or 3.8-litre V6 to power it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[By Ron Kiino
Mercedes isn't bashful about its no-replacement-for-displacement attitude, and the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E550 is no different, with 382 horses pouring from the E550's 5461 cc engine. Suffice it to say, the Mercedes doesn't lack punch, posting a 4.8 second 0-to-60 sprint and a 13.4 second quarter mile at 105.3 mph.]]></description>

<title>Audi Coupe 2.2 5 cylinder petrol Manual 1986 (79/100)</title>

<description><![CDATA[I bought this car for 44 pence, no jokes. It wouldn't start when I turned up to view it (originally priced at £900) so I gave the seller £25 for the road tax which left 44 pence over, hence the price.

Having previously owned a 1983 I would recommend holding out for a 1987 one. The brakes are far more effective and the interior a lot more pleasing. The rear seat is like an expensive sofa - deliciously comfortable.

The car handles very well as standard although I found that grip improved after fitting 205 width tyres.

Issues: Petrol pump (or so I thought - turned out to be a bad connection left behind after an immobiliser was removed), nearside CV joint, nearside wheel bearing, offside electric window mechanism (I think it's the cable), starter motor failure.]]></description>

<title>Audi A6 avant 3.0TDI Automatic 2005 (73/100)</title>

<description><![CDATA[One tyre was out of round and replaced by the dealer.

Hit a pothole which bent 2 rims and ruined another tire, requiring replacement. Pirelli replaced the tire without charge.

Fuel economy is poor in mixed suburban driving, 14-15 mpg. Motorway is better, about 21 mpg.

I have the 17inch wheel option, low profile tires. These are particularly susceptible to damage from potholes, since there is not much tire between the wheel and the ground. However the wide tires do contribute to the handling, so I would buy them again.

Aside from the poor mileage I have been very happy with the A6 Avant (wagon). It's smooth, comfortable, peppy, and handles like a true European sports sedan. There is lots of room with the rear seats down, and with the seats up, rear seat passengers find the ride very comfortable. The car looks good, draws favorable comments, and is practical. Can't go wrong!

<description><![CDATA[Bought the car and on the same day, the check engine light came on. Took the dealer 3 1/2 weeks to fix. Found out the dealer I originally bought the car from did not perform a PDI and falsely signed the papers. Since then, had take the car in for three more times with airbag and check engine light.

There is overwhelming rust on the drive axle.. dealer and Audi service has no comments or any corrective action in place.

The interior is absolutely beautiful and best among all (Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and Infiniti).

<description><![CDATA[This has been my second A4 due to the great experience I had with my used 2004 1.8T. For those looking to buy used a car like this is a risk and there is no doubting it. These cars aren't for everyone, they are for those who understand the requirements of operating a car properly and who love what a car like this can offer. If you do buy used, I don't recommend the 1.8T because of the turbo and is more susceptible to previous owner butchering. I am constantly hearing how people are putting 87 octane in a car that was designed to run on 91, and\or using conventional oil when it has been running on synthetic. Doing something like that (as insignificant as it may sound) is destructive to the engine. Stick with the V6 and make sure it is thoroughly checked out. Keep up with the maintenance on the car, and change your oil frequently.

If you like to neglect your car, stay away from any German, especially this one.

The driving dynamics are magical on the 2008, as it feels lighter on it's feet and more nimble. This car truly drives great and is recommended to anyone when new. Can;t wait for the A5.

<title>Audi 80 1.8 Manual 1987 (60/100)</title>

<description><![CDATA[Clutch master cylinder @ 140,000.
Clutch @ 155,000.
Front suspension mountings @ 160,000.
Rear axle bushes @ 170,000 (causes a scary, but not dangerous clanking noise!)
Carburettor mounting cracked @ 170,000.
One CV joint @ 186,000.
Other than that, usual wear and tear items...

For such an old car, which gets such a hammering (it lives in London and does a 55 mile round trip to work every day), it's fantastic. Pretty economical on long runs, and OK round town, it's always been totally reliable - apart from the above faults. My dad had it from 50 000 miles onwards, and it was good as gold for him, too.

Galvanised, so there's no rust. The only gripe is the ludicrous boot. Oh, and the heated rear windscreen, which keeps breaking.

<description><![CDATA[Another Chevy gets the coveted SS badge. Ahh, here’s one more Chevy to wear the SS badge. We can just picture the teen-age vanity plates already: HAULNSS, SSWEET, SMOKNSS. 



With a base price of $22,995, the HHR SS costs $8090 more than the base LS model, or about $2500 more than a similarly equipped uplevel LT.
