2007 Mini Cooper S test drive and walkaround with Chris from Chicago Cars Direct Technically, the Mini Cooper falls into the compact hatchback or convertible category, but this British icon, resurrected by BMW, really belongs in a class of its own. Its teacup-sized dimensions and unabashedly cute silhouette have made it arguably the most recognizable vehicle in the world. The Mini Cooper hatchback gets a redesign for 2007, and its current incarnation is the best yet. The changes made to its exterior are subtle, with Mini wisely leaving the car’s classic styling intact. The 2007 Cooper hatchback is just over 2 inches longer than its predecessor; crash test standards called for a slightly longer nose and taller hood, but these changes are all but invisible, having been balanced by tweaks made elsewhere to the car’s proportions. Weight reduction measures have also kept the car’s curb weight in check. The biggest revisions take place within the 2007 Mini Cooper hatchback’s cabin. The central speedometer is bigger, and is now home to the car’s radio controls and display. Many of the car’s controls have been relocated, and the layout is now more user-friendly. The center stack has been narrowed; as a result, the foot wells are roomier and more comfortable for those with larger feet. Overall, the hatchback’s interior boasts a cleaner, more upscale look. Both Cooper hatchback trims get new engines. The Cooper S hatchback is now powered by a turbocharged engine that generates 172 …

Detailed test drive and walkaround of a 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged with Chris from Chicago Cars Direct. Sport might be something an Australian calls his buddy at the bar. As in: “G’day, sport, can I get you a beer?” But as used in the acronym SUV, the term doesn’t usually apply that well. Most SUVs are just not that sporty, are they? However, in the case of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, there’s an argument to be made for the accuracy of the addendum. First, just in case you’re as confused as we were, let’s explain that the Range Rover Sport is a shortened and sharpened Land Rover LR3, brought to market to compete with sportier SUVs such as Porsche’s Cayenne and BMW’s X5. In the course of reinventing this Sport model from the LR3 platform, the transformation resulted in a vehicle that’s about two inches shorter than the LR3 and offers much less interior room. Maximum cargo capacity for the Sport is 71 cubic feet compared with 90 for the LR3, and rear-seat space drops from 55 cubic feet to 49. Despite the smaller size, Land Rover managed to add weight. Our tester pounded the road at a porky 5866 pounds, whereas the last LR3 we tested weighed 5686 pounds. That could lead some to believe that this would be a slow and clumsy vehicle, but that’s not the case. With its generous mass balanced very nearly evenly on the two axles, the Range Rover Sport conducts itself with remarkable poise. It doesn’t hurt that the suspension is a combination of adaptive interlinked …

Detailed test drive and walkaround of a pristine 2006 M3 Convertible with Chris from Chicago Cars Direct. The BMW 3 Series has long been regarded as the benchmark compact sport coupe, sedan and convertible. Taking this already athletic vehicle to new heights is the M version, known as the BMW M3. In the Bimmer world, the letter M stands for the company’s Motorsports performance division. These fun-loving engineers tweak a given BMW model’s engine for more output, upgrade the suspension for even more agile handling and add sporty exterior and interior design elements. Throughout its two decades on the US market, the BMW M3 has been a favorite of enthusiasts looking for sports-car performance and handling from a true four-place car. Although content to smoothly burble around while doing daily driver duty, the M3 transforms into a back-road burner when conditions allow and gives its pilot the opportunity to attack corners with precision and rocket out of them with gusto. Current BMW M3 Based on the present-generation 3 Series, the M3 is offered in only one trim level among the coupe, sedan and hardtop convertible body styles. Each is powered by a 4.0-liter V8, good for 414 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, which revs to a thrilling 8400-rpm redline. A six-speed manual is the standard means of sending power to the rear wheels, and a seven-speed automated-clutch manual gearbox with paddle shifters is optional. M3s also get specific hardware upgrades such as more …

Infiniti FX35 AWD with Stillen Stage II Supercharger kit. Awesome. It’s remarkable that the Infiniti FX35 made it to showrooms with its concept-car looks intact. While crossover SUVs had long been touted as a brand-new genre of vehicle, most of them at the time of the FX35′s launch simply resembled small SUVs or large wagons. When the FX35 debuted in 2003 with its sports-car muscles and hulking linebacker stance, it ushered in a new emphasis on style that other automakers are only now beginning to match. But the Infiniti FX35 doesn’t just look sporty — it’s been engineered to feel that way on the road. This crossover SUV handles like a sport sedan on stilts, and it also comes loaded with standard equipment. Unfortunately, high style has resulted in a sacrifice of some measure of practicality, as the FX35 offers less cargo room and versatility than most other midsize crossovers. Current Infiniti FX35 The second-generation Infiniti FX35 first rolled into showrooms in model year 2009. The bold sheet metal that made this crossover such a standout in its first generation carries over into the current era, with a couple of tweaks: Its nose has been lengthened, its grille has been restyled and prominent new fender vents add a touch of class or kitsch, depending on who you ask. Some changes have also been made beneath the skin. The FX35′s 3.5-liter V6 gets a slight bump up in power (it now offers 303 horsepower), and it’s teamed with a new seven-speed transmission. Lots of …
