Toyota Corolla XLE Function

It doesn't get much simpler than the Toyota Corolla's control layout. The stereo is clearly marked with large buttons kept to the absolute minimum. The placement of the auxiliary audio jack could be better, though, as it requires draping a cord clumsily across the shifter. The climate controls consist of three large knobs that control airflow direction, fan speed and temperature � if you can't figure them out in a matter of seconds, you probably haven't been in a car built after 1990.

Jaguar XF Supercharge: Function

The XF's trunk is quite roomy, easily fitting two golf bags and a large suitcase into its 17-cubic-foot hold. A rear-facing child safety seat can be squeezed into the backseat's central position, but taller drivers may find themselves scootching their seats up to accommodate junior. Front-facing child seats fit well.

Lincoln MKS AWD: Design/Fit and Finish

Exterior styling is derivative but largely inoffensive, though it fails to mitigate the 2009 Lincoln MKS's considerable heft. The interior looks nice at a glance, particularly the top of the dash, which is covered with imitation stitched leather. However, the center stack plastics feel low-grade, as do the buttons below the CD slot. Similarly, two of the storage bins in the center console are covered by segmented plastic sliders that would look more at home in a Ford Ranger pickup truck. The cargo pass-through door, which is exposed when the rear armrest is folded down, also feels and looks low-rent.

Mini Cooper S Clubman Function

You know that old saying about form following function? Well, Mini's interior design team apparently prefers it the other way around. Aesthetically, the Clubman's gauges and control layout are every bit as cute as its adorable mug. Functionally, however, they leave much to be desired, from the center-mounted speedometer to those inscrutable banks of metallic toggle switches � and don't get us started on the downright nonsensical radio controls. (Good luck finding the volume knob.) To be fair, most Clubman buyers will probably be quick to forgive its ergonomic eccentricities. But we're not so sympathetic. Frankly, all of the Clubman's competitors offer more intuitive driver interfaces.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD CRD

If you're shopping for a diesel SUV, the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited CRD is one of only four available and it's the cheapest of the bunch. But price is only one of many important considerations when shopping the diesel SUV market, as we learned after a week behind the wheel of the Jeep.

Toyota RAV4 Performance

And yet against EPA ratings of 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, we pretty much nailed the now-more-accurate EPA's numbers. This athlete of compact utes averaged 20.6 mpg. And that's under our team of leadfoots and with the fuel-sucking climate of traffic-riddled Los Angeles. Our consumer feedback shows folks averaging even better fuel economy, with many claiming averages in the mid-20s.

Test Drive: 2008 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4WD

The One-Time Champion of SUVs Is Past Its Prime

Vehicle Tested: 2008 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV 4WD (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
Pros: Smooth ride for a truck-based SUV, spacious and quiet interior, decent towing specs.
Cons: Expensive options, weak engine compared to competing SUVs, nonintuitive placement of some interior features, low-grade interior materials.

For more than a decade, the Ford Explorer was at the top of the midsize SUV heap. From its introduction, the truck-based utility vehicle was a hit, and its success subsequently sent other automakers scrambling to develop (or improve) SUVs of their own. But in recent years, competitors have rolled out superior products and many consumers have shied away from SUVs altogether in favor of smaller crossovers. Sales of the Explorer have plummeted.

2009 Kia Borrego V8 4WD: Performance

Fuel economy for the Borrego is compelling � it's EPA-rated at a combined 19 miles per gallon, and during our testing period we observed an average of 18.7 mpg.

BMW X6 xDrive 35i
Design/Fit and Finish

Inside the X6, subtle wood and metallic accents lend the proper luxury ambience. Top-grade materials are used everywhere, and soft-touch surfaces are found even on the lower dash and console sides. Big door pockets come in handy for wallets, road snacks and the like.
