Many parents who offered to find a space and functionality in a minibus crash their noses in the idea of driving a pair. When the elbow crossover SUV on the disc to mini-van to the institution par excellence of the modern family, a large number of new entries are responsible for providing lists of characteristics are attractive to parents and children: three rows of seats, DVD entertainment, shops, height - in booster seats, and underground storage tanks, to name a few. A mid-size SUV seems to be better than others have done: the Dodge Journey.

Leader in the Chrysler minivan and the king, if you have to develop innovative, family, user-friendly features, the same logic in his Dodge Journey mid-size SUV. Introduced in 2009, the front and Journey drive is available with a 4-cylinder, V6 or 4-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, respectively.

Consumer Guide has recently tested a high-end-2010 Journey R / T with the 235 hp 3.5-liter V6 and 6-speed automatic transmission AWD. With a base price of $ 28,195, was equipped with standard features like dual-zone automatic control climate, leather upholstery with leather steering wheel, heated front seats engine starting wheel remote audio controls, 6 seats electric driver lumbar adjustment, not flat passenger seat smoking, satellite radio, an outlet with 115 volts and a chilled glove compartment. Options include a 3rd row seat, navigation system with rearview camera, DVD entertainment, integrated booster seats for children, power sunroof, and Sirius satellite TV. It brought the total to $ 35,560.

Travel can be loaded with an impressive set of features for comfort and convenience, but we found that competition dragged on some important areas, namely, fuel economy and completion of the cabin. During our 355-miles, mainly to test the site, we have miles per gallon on average only 14.7. In an essay of 2009, R / T, but we added an average of 17.8 mpg with more highway miles to the mix. The EPA figures for the V6 engine driving 15/23 city / highway mpg. The four-cylinder models had better go and get 19/25 city / highway mpg, but we have very little power trip with 4 cylinders and if it is a duty, the V6 is your only option. Another disappointment is the car, ie, materials and decoration subpar monotonous. A liberal use of hard plastic provides a low cost vision and budget are more inside. Leather helps improve the environment factor, but it will cost.

Current trip, where competition is, however, with its multitude of properties of the family-friendly. With a list of options for traveling in a living room turning on the wheels, karting is a family and all their luggage comfortably more than feasible. Features such as voyage under the plant and security silos, built in booster seats for children, and options for satellite and terrestrial TV should earn a place in the shopping list of busy families.

We have these functions more closely in the following pages.

Alfa Romeo: back in the US

It seems Alfa Romeo finally will return to the U.S. in two years, bringing with it several cars that would compete with BMW and Volkswagen's Audi brand. Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of Fiat and Chrysler, said recently in a speech that he's increasingly confident that the struggling brand will be able to produce cars that are accepted globally, including in the U.S.

2010 Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo has been owned by Fiat since 1986. The brand was last sold here in 1995, ending its presence in the U.S. after years of declining quality and slow sales. An alliance with General Motors in the 1990s resulted in a planned return of the brand in 2003, but it never materialized and the partnership has since dissolved.

If the brand does return by 2012 as Marchionne said, Alfa Romeo's lineup of cars could be expanded, using platforms (the chassis, suspension and other key components on the underside of the body) now on Fiat and Chrysler cars. Chrysler and Italy's Fiat SpA formed an alliance after Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy in June 2009, giving Fiat a 20 percent controlling stake in Chrysler.

Among the new cars expected is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, called the Giulia that would replace the Alfa Romeo 159, which is currently sold only in Europe. The Giulia would be offered as a midsize sedan and a station wagon. The cars, built on Fiat-Chrysler platforms, would likely be manufactured in the U.S., beginning in mid-2012, according to reports by the industry magazine Automotive News. Introduced in 2005, the Alfa Romeo 159 is a compact sedan that comes with standard all-wheel drive and competes with the BMW 3 Series cars, which start at $33,150. Its 3.2-liter V-6 engine, which produces 260 horsepower, would most likely be used in the U.S. model.

A future, full-size sedan would likely be built on the Chrysler 300C platform. It would be considered the replacement for the Alfa Romeo 166, which was discontinued in 2007. Like the 300C, the Alfa Romeo full-size sedan would be a rear-wheel-drive car. It would likely be sold in the U.S. beginning in 2013.

The next year will be a telling one for the future of Alfa Romeo in the U.S., and as a brand in general. Fiat's plan to return the brand to the U.S. could be helped immensely by its Chrysler partnership, improving Alfa Romeo's technology, manufacturing and dealer infrastructure. But to become a competitor of BMW and Audi in the U.S. as well as Europe, it needs to be more successful as a brand.

Much of that success is riding on the launch of its newest model, the Giulietta, a five-door hatchback being introduced next month at the Geneva Motor Show. It will compete with the Volkswagen Golf, which starts at $17,620. The company is expecting to use the model to nearly double its annual sales, with plans to sell about 100,000 Giuliettas annually. If that happens, Fiat will be in a much better position to bring its Alfa Romeo brand back to U.S. soil.

Repossessed' car, a mix-up or your fault?

Dear Driving for Dollars,
Six weeks ago, I signed a contract for a car. Five days later, I went back to the dealership and told them I couldn't afford it. I returned the car and the dealer gave me back my trade-in. Now they just came and took away my car. Is that allowed?
-- Trish

a_v2.gifDear Trish,
A case of buyer's remorse with the dealer allowing you to simply return the car with no financial outlay is unusual. But if that is what happened, it sounds like there's been a major mix-up. Do you have any paperwork that says the contract has been voided or canceled? Or is there something that says you returned the new car and received your old car back, free and clear? Getting things in writing is absolutely critical in situations of buyer's remorse.

Carefully look over all your paperwork, including your original contract, for something that indicates you owe a specific amount. There may be a clause or condition in your original contract that outlines what happens in cases of buyer's remorse. It is also possible that you still owe money to the dealer since it may be forced to sell the returned car at a reduced rate. Still, the dealership should have made that clear in writing and verbally when you returned the car.

Call the company that repossessed your car and ask its agents who gave the order (the dealer or the lender), then call that company and explain the situation, speaking to a manager. If your paperwork indicates you owe money, see if you can pay it right away and get your car back. If your paperwork does not indicate that you owe money, then speak to a manager at the repossession company to try to stop the sale of your car. Also, call the dealership to persuade management to release the car back to you. If you don't find satisfaction, contact your state's attorney general and file a complaint.

Pros :Good looking great drive

Cons :questionable low mileage

Description :I have purchased the Beat PS and was assured of a good mileage around 15 kms, on city roads (Bangalore) and around 18 on long drivers, however I find that i am not getting mileage more than 8-9 kms on city roads. i thought initially this was due to the tuning upto 1000kms. I hear that is not the case, however, i am asked to continue to drive, and see, i am not sure, i hope things improve. I would be hugely disappointed and it would not be worth the cost, if am going to get anything less than 14 kms on city roads.
