2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT

3:57 PM Benson Chevrolet No comments

Don't you just love Camaros?

No matter how often I am called to photograph a camaro, I always love doing it. These babies are just that sweet, future classics of the 2010's.

Yesterday, a particularly awesome camaro came in, and I had the honor of taking its picture. It was brand new, with 2 miles on it. Flawless gray metallic exterior, dark leather interior, tinted windows, with a sunroof and custom rims. Plus, when you're driving, the speedometer reflects on your windshield. Kind of like the holographic menus in those sci-fi future shows.

I was photographing this camaro to put on the Benson Chevy website, but mostly I was picturing myself in it: speeding down the highway, leaving other cars in the dust at red lights, making the neighbors jealous, driving to Helotes and stargazing through the sunroof....

Between you and me, I spent a little bit longer time photographing it than I usually do. Especially the interior. Those cushy leather seats are just way too comfortable. Not to mention, XM radio stations. Does it get much better?

Compact and nimble, Jeep Compass brings a new sense of adventure to the compact SUV market, combining the packaging and functionality of an SUV with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a compact car or small pickup. Compass and its stablemate Patriot are the Jeep brand’s first front-wheel-drive-based products with fully independent suspensions for comfortable on-road ride and handling and fun-to-drive characteristics. In addition to its standard front-wheel-drive configuration, Jeep Compass also has an available full-time, active four-wheel-drive system with lock mode called Freedom Drive I™. This four-wheel-drive system features a lockable center coupling, giving Jeep Compass drivers the ability to handle rough weather conditions and low-traction surfaces. Side-curtain air bags, Brake Traction Control, driver-controlled three-mode Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with rough-road detection are all standard on the 2008 Jeep Compass.

Vehicle Notes

This Toyota Yaris sedan scores points with owners for its surprisingly roomy interior, comfortable for both four passengers and a decent amount of cargo. Roomier than it looks, the highly economical 2009 Toyota Yaris exhibits tight maneuverability and outstanding fuel economy, making it a nimble and affordable city commuter car. The front-wheel-drive sedan is well-suited for tight parking spaces, and its superior fuel economy eases the pain of everyday commuting. Owners report fuel economy well into the 40s. While no speedster, the '09 Yaris makes the most of its engine, due to the car's light weight and small size. It's 9.8-second 0-60 time bests the Honda Fit, and the Yaris proves to be a zippy little car. A 16-valve DOHC 1.5-liter in-line four delivers 106 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 RPM. Changes for 2009 models focused on safety, with the Yaris adding standard ABS brakes and both side impact and side curtain airbags on all trims, bringing the total up to six airbags. The '09 Yaris sedan surprises owners, particularly as to how much they fall in love with their new economy subcompact. Praising its “cute” and “sexy” looks, drivers give it high marks for its hybrid-like fuel efficiency, low price tag, and smooth ride. It's definitely a keeper!

When compared with two or three of its closest competitors, things look pretty similar, except for the 2008 Audi A4 sedan's Quattro 4-wheel drive. With years of experience perfecting its drive train, Audi can just sit and let the Quattro do its thing. Nothing else comes close, is so seamless, so trouble-free. Combined with the A4's anti-lock brakes, multilink suspension, and stability control system, critics are hard-pressed to find anything better.At 22mpg city and 31mpg highway, the base 2.0T Audi A4 sedan is a strong balance between performance, luxury, and sensibility. This is especially true considering that the A4 has segment leading safety ratings. With its front side, driver side, passenger side airbags, Audi is confident that its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ratings will be as solid for 2008 as they were in 2007.Ask For The Internet Department To Insure Your Internet Price.

To look inside the 2008 RAV4 is to experience a clean, functional interior with large, simple controls and lots of storage space. The position and function of the controls is very good. That also applies to the arrangement of the hand brake and the shift lever. The 2008 seats five in comfort not counting seating for two more with the optional third row bench. Designed with a family in mind, the 2008 RAV4 not only puts safety upfront, it’s on both sides, in the rear, and just about anywhere else you care to look. Standard safety equipment on the RAV4 is comprehensive. Big kudos go to the power, handling, acceleration, and utility of this SUV. This 2008 RAV4 hits the bull’s eye for families with 2-plus kids, the suburban Mom, or weekend warriors gone wild. A must see and drive!

2009 Mazda MAZDA3 i Sport $13995 Tom Benson Chevrolet San Antonio Texas

6:07 PM Benson Chevrolet No comments

Vehicle Notes

Mazda has a tradition of building zippy and fun compact cars. The Mazda 3, launched six years ago and just recently redesigned, continues that trend of impressive performance, and with a fresh, modern body design, it has the style to match. You can expect an impressive level of convenience and safety-related equipment for the money. Our 3i comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 148 horsepower and 135 pound-feet of torque. Paired with the automatic transmission it has refined road manners that will come as a surprise to most economy car shoppers. Thanks to its performance-oriented chassis tuning, the 3 is blessed with good body control and its steering is quick and communicative. In the real world, this translates into a greater sense of driver confidence. The 3's highway ride is smooth enough to please most commuters. While most economy cars have little in the manner of interior aesthetics, the cabin in the Mazda 3 shows impressive attention to detail! The materials used are some of the nicest found in this class -- your passengers are bound to think you paid more than you actually did. Even taller folks will be comfortable up front, and the driver will appreciate the standard tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Altogether, we think the Mazda 3 should be the first vehicle you test drive when shopping for an economy family sedan or hatchback. It hits all the right notes and its flaws are few and far between.

If you have seen the TV Spots, you love this Kia Soul already. This five-seat crossover SUV is based on a stretched and stiffened Kia Rio platform with front-wheel-drive drive-train and fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine. This machine comes with the blistering performance of the 142HP 2.0 which offers sufficient power and pep for around-town driving, plus highway passing or hill climbing. As with Scions, the major points of attraction for the Soul come in the form of extreme affordability and unique customizability.

It also scores very well in safety tests and would make you feel safe on about any road. Ask For The Internet Department To Insure Your Internet Price.
