2009 Ford Escape XLT I4 Review

Mind you they did limit themselves to the good types of more. At the top of the list is more fuel economy. With the new 2.5-litre engine (last year it was 2.3 litres), fuel economy improves in both the city and highway tests. It may not seem like much to you, but a 6.5% improvement in town is impressive.

2009 Chevrolet HHR Panel LT
2009 Chevrolet HHR Panel LT - Chevy Wagon Review - Automobile Magazine
The Chevy HHR Panel is perfect for your local neighborhood handy man.

The blanked-off sides provide a great place to advertise your rock band, plumbing business, or geek service. With some lacy curtains for the back door windows, prying eyes will never penetrate your cargo hold. Unfortunately, there's barely room inside for a full drum set and the fetal position is required for napping. On the plus side, the mid-twenties gas mileage is reasonable and driving off the lot should be doable for less than $20,000. That said, I'd recommend budgeting for the more expensive SS edition powered by a 250- or 260-horsepower turbo motor and underpinned by one of the last suspension systems tuned by GM's illustrious Performance Division.
