Reviews

Ford Fiesta Econetic

Hold the headlines! The new Fiesta Econetic bests the Prius in the fuel economy stakes, while also being priced some AU$15k less.
Fujifilm FinePix S1500

Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.
Lexus RX350 Sports Luxury (2009)

Quiet, plush and with enough gadgets on-board — Remote Touch is nice, but where's the hard disk nav and USB folks? — the RX should please most drivers, but it's more of a passenger's car.
Toyota Prius i-Tech (2009)

the best tech goodies, such as the solar powered air-con, parking assistance, LED headlights and radar cruise control, on the new Prius are reserved for the i-Tech model.
Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.
Nikon Coolpix L100

The L100 is a curious contender for the superzoom crown. It only has a 15x optical zoom and is hampered by a lack of manual controls, but it is light and portable. Just don't expect stellar image quality.
Volkswagen Golf 118TSI Comfortline (Golf VI, 2009)

An eerily similar shape with the marvellous twincharger engine, an auxiliary jack (but no USB) and a better interior at a lower price — slow and cautious evolution at work.
Tata Nano

One windscreen wiper, one rear-view mirror, self-levelling headlights, and no rear hatch are part of the final Indian specs of the world's cheapest car.

Mercedes-Benz F-Cell caught in the wild

While CNET Car Tech in the US was out testing the Aston Martin DB9 Volante in the Santa Cruz mountains recently, we ran across the car's antithesis, a Mercedes-Benz F-Cell research car. We easily caught up with the F-Cell and followed it to a scenic lookout, where we cornered its driver and started grilling him about the car.
