Ford Escape Hybrid
Function

The optional navigation system is intuitive as well — although flipping through the manual is never a bad idea. Should you spring for the nav, you'll also get the Sirius Travel Link feature that can show you things like weather, gas prices in the vicinity and even sports scores and movie times. A nice touch is that the display screen can be split up to display the map-guide, audio status and fuel economy at the same time. The nav system option also includes a hybrid display that'll show you the flow of the power (e.g. engine off and running on electric motors) and detailed fuel economy. The dual-zone automatic climate control is likewise user-friendly — three big knobs control temperature and fan speed with smaller buttons to select airflow and defrost modes. Unfortunately, the hybrid system cannot run the air-conditioning compressor in electric-only mode, meaning your mpg number will probably be affected by the temperature outside and how much you're willing to literally sweat because of high gas prices.

BMW 1 Series 135i Convertible
Some of us on staff remember the time when BMWs were austere in design and driven by real enthusiasts who appreciated a sprightly, agile and communicative car. Guys and gals who'd have the steering wheel in one hand while working the four-speed manual with the other. Today's Bimmers are still great cars, but some feel that the quintessential sport compact, the 3 Series, has gotten too big, too loaded up with gizmos and too likely to be driven by those who care more about the badge on the hood than the car's sporting capabilities. You know who we're talking about — Ultimate Driving Machine "drivers" who've got a Starbucks in one hand while working a Blackberry with the other.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Comfort Function

The ample E-Class trunk is capable of swallowing a large suitcase, plus at least two golf bags. The wide opening allows those bags to drop in without any fuss, while the free-moving hinges make opening and closing the trunk very easy. In fact, the lid opens itself completely at the push of the key fob's trunk button.

Another gripe concerns the small, awkwardly shaped parking brake release, hidden way down near the driver's footwell, where a hood release would normally be. We had to break out the instruction manual to even find the thing in the first place. In addition, the Explorer's conventional antenna on the passenger side often thunked against low-hanging objects in parking garages. We'd dump the old-fashioned mast in favor of the window-integrated antennas that many competitors now use. And perhaps of most concern is a huge blind spot created by the Explorer's broad C-pillar. Individually, none of these drawbacks is earth-shattering, but collectively, they could be real deal-breakers for the aging SUV.
