    2012 Acura TSX 

    The 2012 Acura TSX ranks 7 out of 9 Upscale Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 57 published reviews and test drives of the Acura TSX, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
    The 2012 Acura TSX is one of few upscale small cars with the right blend of performance and utility to create a sedan that’s a smart choice for families. 
    The upscale small car class isn’t large, which means that shoppers looking for a luxurious family vehicle don’t have many options. This class is known for its performance, rather than its utility. The 2012 Acura TSX, however, is one of few that offers a good balance of both, and the 2011 model was our Best Upscale Small Car for Families. In the TSX, parents will find great front seat space, a large trunk and a second row that is ideal for children. If you have teens or carpool to work, the second row may not suit you, however, because is tight for adults.
    Paired with one of the most family-oriented interiors in the class is what some reviewers consider a boring four-cylinder engine and great-performing optional V6. Parents who want the most bang for their buck may prefer the base engine. Not only is it less expensive than the V6 model, but it also has higher fuel economy ratings, which means you’ll save even more money in the long run.
    The 2012 Acura TSX isn’t perfect, but reviewers find that it meshes practicality and performance well, making it a solid pick for families or anyone looking for an upscale sedan.  If there is style to be had, Acura drivers usually find a way to get their hands on it.

    Tags: Murano, Nissan Motors, Nissan steering wheel   

    2012 Nissan Murano LE AWD. I like the fact that, when I got in the Murano, the ergonomics were all so transparent. I needed to adjust the sideview mirrors, and my left hand went up to the door panel and immediately found an easy-to-use twist dial for adjusting the mirrors.  I needed to adjust the Nissan steering wheel, and my left hand immediately found a power tilt-and-telescope button on the left side of the steering column. I needed to adjust the seat, and my left hand then immediately found the seat control on the outboard edge of the seat bottom, and there was no fumbling around trying to figure out how to use it; it was immediately obvious. I wanted to turn on the seat heater, and I found the seat heater button in a microsecond. I wanted to hook up my phone to Bluetooth, and that took only about 15 seconds. These things go a long way toward everyday usability.
    The Murano is one of the most stylish SUVs on the market today. Its lines are fluid and organic but still have plenty of attitude; a characteristic that is missing from competitors like the plain Honda CR-V and the odd-looking Toyota Venza. Even more important, Nissan designers refrained from adding fussy details or too many chrome bits on the exterior so it has a very clean, modern look. The front end is still a bit tortured but thankfully the large, chrome teeth were pulled in favor of thinner, more subdued chrome arms.
    Driving the Murano is no revelation but it does everything a mid-size crossover is expected to. The rear seats can easily hold full-size adults, and although the cargo area is a bit compromised because of the sharp angle of the rear hatch, it’s still fairly commodious. The only thing that would make me consider a newer offering such as the recently redesigned CR-V is its fuel economy. The Murano only manages 18 mpg city/23 mpg highway, while Honda expects the AWD CR-V to achieve 22/30. The Murano does have a much roomier cabin — 36 cubic feet more room for passengers — but the CR-V’s cargo area is 5.5 cubic feet larger.
