2014 Toyota Highlander mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Third row now seats three, but they'd better not require much legroom. |
|
2014 Toyota Highlander mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Thirty percent more cargo volume behind the third row. Still not much. |
|
2014 Toyota Highlander mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
For a useful amount of cargo volume, fold the second row. |
|
2014 Toyota Highlander mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Cargo volume most competitive with both rows folded. |
|
2014 Toyota Highlander mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Sweet V6 deserves a nicer cover. |
|
2014 Toyota Highlander mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The segment's smoothest, best-sounding V6 looks best undressed. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
For $1,000 over the Sport Line, the M Sport Line adds this more aggressive lower front fascia. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Unfortunately, far too cold to wash the car. Looks much larger than previous 3ers (because it is). |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Proportions remain classic cab-rearward BMW. M Sport Line also includes different rims and rockers. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Much less fluid than the BMW, but cleaner body sides than the 2010-2013 E-Class. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The roof line, though not coupe-like (4 Gran Coupe for that), is less formal than the Benz's. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Typically technical BMW styling inside as well. Blue trim strip is only on IP, not doors. Why? |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Nav screen appears like it can retract, but cannot. Good design for an open view forward, though. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The Mercedes has a flashier, more opulent interior. Part of what an extra $10k gets you. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Somewhat idiosyncratic controls mostly easy to use--once you learn how they work. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
You want the Sport Line or M Sport Line for this driver seat (and a better suspension). |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Rear seat roomier than people expect from a 3-Series. Legroom matches E-Class. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The 328d's trunk is also large for the class. |
|
2014 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Economical and sufficiently powerful, but short on refinement. |
|
2014 Subaru Forester mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Engineers could have penned this somewhat dated, simple-to-a-fault design. |
|
2014 Subaru Forester mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
It's a Subaru, what did you expect to see? |
|
2014 Subaru Forester mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Good traction in the snow. Winter tires still advisable. |
|
2014 Subaru Forester mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Longer nose, bulkier body sides than the sleeker 2009-2013 Forester. |
|
2014 Subaru Forester mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
"Functional shape" puts it in the best light. Could be worse. |
|
2014 Subaru Forester mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Slight up-kick in belt line after the doors a rare concession to aesthetics. |
