Mid-Size SUV Review
Midsize SUVs are utility vehicles that have slightly smaller engine capacities, usually between 2000cc and 3000cc, and some do not have 4 wheel drive. They are cheaper than conventional SUVs, have better mileage and are cheaper to maintain. They are used mostly be city dwellers looking for a vehicle that offers both comfort and power, as well as other features that do not make it an expensive vehicle to maintain. Most leading car manufacturers today have a range of midsize SUVs that not only are they in close competition to one another, they feature the best in technology and comfort while are not priced so high. Top among these is the Acura MDX, which has for the last few years been one of the leading midsize SUVs in the world. 52,000, the latest Acura MDX model offers a refined interior with new and very stylish design. It is also a good vehicle for cargo since the rear seats can be folded down for more boot space.
With a very powerful engine and excellent safety standards, it fits in well with the rest of the midsize crowd, although there is some criticism it has received too. The major problem is the small space it has in the third row, making it unsuitable for adults. A few people have also expressed concern with its dashboard, saying it can get pretty confusing. The Lexus RX 350 is another elite member of this range of vehicles, and has been for many a year. 39,000, the Lexus is an excellent value for money, since its comfortable seats and high-tech interior are tastefully done to give a very luxurious feel to it. Despite a rather powerful V6 engine, the Lexus is a pretty economical vehicle. Despite this, it is not the best off-roader in the market, and is also reported to give some body roll when cornering. The Lincoln MKT is another powerful yet very adequate midsize SUV that is gaining popularity among most car lovers. 10,000 on average more than the Lexus, it compensates this with a powerful engine, a very high safety rating and a quiet interior. Interior space, however, is not a strong point it has. Other top midsize SUVs that are worthy of mentioning are the Lexus RX 450h, the Audi Q7, the Infiniti FX, the Mercedes Benz M-Class, the BMW X5 and the Porsche Cayenne. All these SUVs have very little aspects separating them, and the decision to buy one usually rests on the preferences of the buyer.

Tracing the rise of the British modified car and associated cruise scene back to its roots has always been the source of much debate. Many would point back to the original vintage and classic car rallies of the 50's and 60's. Others make reference to the legendary Ace Cafe London to Brighton cruise, an event synonymous with classic motorcyclists. The notorious hot rod scene also argues a strong case, in fact many popular modifications derive from that era. It all depends how far you want to go back in time, perhaps to the point from which you hold the fondest memories. Everybody of course, has their own view. Most of us however would agree that the birth of the modified car world as we know it today, truly began in the early eighties. Iconic car launches including the MK1 Golf GTi, the Escort RS Turbo, the Renault 5 GT Turbo and the Peugeot 205 GTi created a market of dedicated followers with a passion for performance cars that would last a lifetime.
