2013 Honda Fit

A few months back, we told you that Honda had a redesigned CR-V in the works for 2012. Now, the automaker announced that the new affordable compact SUV is set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Joining the 2012 CR-V is an all-electric version of the Honda Fit, which is slated for the 2013 model year.
The introduction of the Fit EV will likely help Honda establish its stake in the electric vehicle market, which currently includes cars like the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi i and the upcoming Chevrolet Spark EV. “Borrowing heavily from the look of the internal-combustion Fit, the EV concept featured a high-density coaxial motor and a lithium-ion battery park,” writes Edmunds. “The concept has a top speed of 90 mph and has 70-100 miles of driving range per charge.”

Test Drive: 2011 Jeep Patriot.

I’m expecting my first child, so a surefire way to pique my interest is to have me test any car that’s remotely family-friendly. So it wasn’t as a spec-happy car reviewer that I evaluated the

Jeep Patriot press loaner I had last week. It was as a mom-to-be who’s actually in the market for a family car.

The Patriot makes a strong case for itself as a baby-mobile. It’s an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 2011. The four-wheel drive model with an automatic transmission that I tested gets an EPA-estimated 21/26 mpg – not bad for something that can handle light off-roading. The Patriot’s classic Jeep-ish styling also appealed to me. It stands out in a sea of soft and round crossovers. Then there’s the price: starting at $15,995, the Patriot won’t bust family budgets. My test car stickered at $25,147, but had a lot of features, including four-wheel drive, Bluetooth, iPod interface, heated front seats and satellite radio.
I also liked the way the Jeep Patriot drives. Unlike a lot of SUVs that can head off-road, it was comfortable and smooth around town, but had just enough roughness to remind you that yeah, you’re in a Jeep. Even though it doesn’t handle as well as other crossovers do, that touch of truck made it fun to drive. It felt rugged, but not uncomfortable. Its small size and trail-ready turning radius made it perfect for tight parking lots.
