DOE Fuel Efficiency Chart

am not a car expert but from what i hear and read airbag programming has improved a lot ever since it's inception;they don't just blow up on bumps and slight scratches from somebody ele's car. if you want to know a car's crashworthiness go to the Euro NCAP website. i think the Euro ratings are the best and most dependable in anywhere else.

Its simple. The carmaker who pays more gets better standing.

BMW 520D is a the clear winner..

Stylish Luxury without looking like a grandad.
0-100 in 8.7secs
223Kph top speed
22kms/L (as advertised)...
CRDi Turbo Diesel

What more can you ask for? hehe

[LynxMan]

well, if somebody can afford a BMW then why not. but Toyota on my opinion still stands out among the crowd. but mind you Hyundai has great reviews here in the UK and their fuel millage is not that bad and at par with the rest....

[Horsepower]

Yup, we got a Hyundai Santa Fe CRDi a few weeks ago :-)

I did an extensive research on it before giving the "approved" signal that it's the car to get. It's fast, fuel efficient and very comfortable. My only gripe though is that it doesn't have the rearview mirror electronic compass Euro versions have.

But it's all good :-)

if only filipinos would give hyundai and kia a chance di ba? their cars have greatly improved thru the years....cheaper and almost as equally good....

[LynxMan]

maybe..depending on your need(s) and /or circumstances. if i have the money i would choose a Ford Focus or a Rav4 and a Hyundai or Mazda car as a "backup" car.=)
