Lately, I have been “window shopping” for a car. I have been surfing the net and looking on magazines for the best car that would replace my 8-year old good-ol’ Honda Civic which I christened “Japow”. The thought of replacing my beloved Japow saddened me but the circumstances really demand to replace him with new and more cost effective car. I narrowed my options into three cars: the Toyota Venza, Scion tc, Audi a6, and mazda.
1. The
The Toyota Venza 2009 is considered as an exception to rule of a crossover vehicle rule. The name Venza is a combination of the word “venture” and “
Venza includes 182-horsepower engine, a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic and an an optional all-wheel-drive system that splits power between front and rear wheels. It has also a 268-horsepower version, the V-6 which is smoother and more powerful than four-cylinder version but it more fuel hungry with 19/26 mpg compared to 21/29 mpg of the four-cylinder version.
2. The Scion tc
My other option is the scion tc, the 2009 Scion tC is based on the European-market Toyota Avensis. It is powered by a torquey 161-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine which was also used in the Camry. It is less expensive than any of the car that I have been eyeing at.
The 2009 Scion tC has a sporty, cockpit-like design, with snug, well-bolstered front seats and a good driving position. The stylish cabin and instrument panel design look like they could belong to a much more expensive vehicle.
3. The Audi a6
This is the Transporter Jason Statham sweet car. The audi a6 is a sleek and sophisticated vehicle that also delivers supreme functionality. It is available in both sedan and Avant wagon forms. Inside the Audi a6 is the 3.2-liter V-6 that generates 255 horsepower, as well as a 4.2-liter V-8 rated at 350 horsepower and available only in a sedan version.
4. The Mazda6
Mazda 6 is the 2009 edition of mazda cars. It has a fresh styling, which is not present in the previous Mazdas. The 2009 Mazda Mazda6 has the car’s sporty nature, inside and out. The 2009 Mazda Mazda6 is available with two engine options: a four-cylinder that Car and Driver says offers “2.5 liters and 170 horsepower” and a more potent “60-degree, 3.7-liter V-6 of 272 horsepower.
