EARTHY CAR OF THE WEEK: 2004 Honda S2000 Red Convertible

2004 Honda S2000, Red, Convertible, 38624 mi, $19,995 http://bit.ly/18PvRVC 6-spd manual, MPG = 17/23

Like most cars on the Earthy Cars lot, the 2004 Honda S2000 is simple & economical. However, it’s a convertible.

It’s a cute little car. The S2000 is smaller than other convertibles. It fits two passengers. The seats are leather. There’s a quality stereo system that allows you to blast the music with the top down.

This is a cool car to have in the summer. There’s nothing better than driving a convertible during summer – especially a red one.

NewCarTestDrive:

INTRODUCTION: "The Acura MDX is a popular contender on the luxury mid-size crossover battleground, helped by a potent all-weather drive system, efficient use of space, high level of features both standard and available, decent operating economy, and better-than-average warranty and resale value.

The Acura MDX is built on a unibody platform. It's neither an adaptation of a passenger car platform nor a truck-based platform like Chevy's Tahoe. It is not as long as the German seven-seat rivals, but close in size to many five-seat crossovers and has ample cargo space. It's a solid structure that should wear well and ride better than a truck-based utility.

From its wild grille to its elaborately stylish cat's-eye headlamps and new bumper the MDX continues to be edgy, figuratively and literally. It's quickly and easily identified and Acura and generally presents a wide stance.

The seats are laid out in three rows to accommodate seven people; flexible loading and appropriate materials make it family-friendly. It brings enough features to sate most technophiles, yet doesn't get too carried away with aids and assists.

Acura's 3.7-liter V6 is among the most powerful in its class and delivers decent fuel economy. Unlike all of its European competition there is no V8 option, nor a hybrid or diesel that some offer.

The all-wheel drive system can drive each rear wheel independently for maximum traction and to help drive the MDX around a bend. Handling is commendable and the ride taut, both comfort and performance enhanced on the Advance model."

FEATURES: "The 2010 Acura MDX ($42,230) comes standard with leather upholstery in the first two rows, three-zone climate control, power heated front seats with driver memory, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power tailgate, console, cruise control, rearview camera in mirror, message center, trip computer, AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system, XM satellite radio, Bluetooth, auxiliary audio input, and split-folding rear seats.

The MDX Technology Package ($45,905) adds hard disc navigation with VGA screen, AcuraLink communications, real-time weather (with climate-control link) and traffic, 410-watt 10-speaker Acura ELS surround sound system, multi-view rearview camera, and USB port."

INTERIOR: "The interior of the Acura MDX is designed with luxury, business and family all in mind. It is stylish and functional, with generous space for four adults and two kids."

DRIVING IMPRESSION: The Acura MDX offers a quiet, taut ride and brisk acceleration performance. The all-wheel drive system does not counter stupidity or physics but it adds to driving fun and with a set of winter tires should do very well in snow.

SUMMARY: The Acura MDX has a distinctive face, luxury appointments, room for a family and enough flexibility to make it all work in the same package. It's also got a smooth engine with power to spare, excellent handling and stability, and an all-wheel drive system that can help as much on a dry corner as on a snowy hill.
