Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV Sport - Comfort
Seat comfort is very good, with a nice balance of butt-pleasing
cushiness and distance-friendly firmness. Those who take to twistier
roads may prefer more lateral support, though. Front-seat adjustment is
excellent, allowing an ideal distance relationship between the driver,
the tilt-telescoping wheel and the pedals for a wide variety of body
types. The auto exit feature that tilts away the power-adjusting wheel
and motors back the driver seat upon exit is also welcome.
The rear seats are near mirror images of their forward counterparts, as
the Sport package includes rear bucket seats. This is great for
outboard occupants, but perches the poor schmoe stuck in the middle up
onto the buckets' edges and into the ceiling. Seating capacity could
better be described as 4+1.(

Mercedes-Benz E-Class E550 - Performance
It goes fast and it handles well, too. The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 hugs
the road with steely grace and unflappable confidence, and you'd be
hard-pressed to find a more superb boulevard cruiser. Keep in mind,
though, that while taut and responsive, its ride and handling are tuned
to give luxury an edge over performance. If it's a full-blooded sport
sedan you're after, you'd be better served by the BMW 550i.
Despite being an overachiever in most respects, our test car achieved
braking numbers that are midpack at best. Its stopping distance from 60
is 126 feet; a recently tested 5 Series pulled off this maneuver in
just 111 feet. Though the car's steering is precise and its manners in
transitions are impeccable, its numbers on the slalom were merely
solid, not outstanding. Our sedan was shod with low-profile all-season
tires; we suspect that its performance both in braking and slalom
testing would have been more impressive with more appropriate rubber.

Audi TT Coupe 3.2 Quattro
The
magnetic ride suspension is engaged. Clack. The S tronic transmission
gearlever slides into manual mode. Click. The left paddle shifter
labeled "-" is pressed. Vroom. The transmission blips the 3.2-liter V6
as it instantaneously drops itself into 3rd gear.
With that, the 2008 Audi TT Coupe 3.2 Quattro has been transformed from
a mild-mannered cute coupe into an honest-to-Gott German sports car.
Heading into the first corner, the typically light Audi steering
transmits the contours of the aged mountain-road pavement into the
driver's hands. Through the corner, the TT stays well planted, with
body roll kept at nil. The difference between the surprisingly adept
regular suspension tuning and the firmer magnetic setting isn't readily
apparent until you realize the latter is allowing the TT to cut through
such roads much faster. As the corner disappears into the auto-dimming
mirror, another click brings up 4th gear with lightning speed as the
sensuous sound of the 250-horsepower V6 builds into a smile-forming
crescendo. (
