Reviewed on October 6, 2006The 2007 Audi A4 handles great and is a joy to drive. Audi offers a full range of optional cabin technology, such as navigation and Bluetooth, although some of it falls a little short.TAGS:Audi A4, navigation, destination, car, CD, MP3, speakers, LCD, Bluetooth, cell phone
Reviewed on December 7, 2006With plenty to wow us, there's very little we can find at fault with the 2007 Lexus LS 460L. It comes up to par with other luxury sedans in its class, then beats them all with a substantially lower price.TAGS:Lexus, car, speakers, ID3-Tag, hard drive, CD, MP3, database
Reviewed on June 5, 2008The 2008 Toyota 4Runner works as a solid and rugged SUV, but the attempt to tech it up with an integrated portable navigation device is a kludge. The idea isn't bad, though, and we would like to see the next version of this system.TAGS:TomTom, dashboard, touch screen, car, USB flash drive, CD, music, speakers, MP3, button
Reviewed on July 10, 2006With its wide selection of media source inputs, the Jensen VM9511TS is a high-water mark for aftermarket stereo head units. Its separate media module takes up a lot of space, and at $800, it's pricey for an off-the-shelf system. Still, it blows factory-installed options out of the water in terms of value.TAGS:Jensen, touch screen, AudioVox, Apple iPod, joystick, CD, speakers, WMA, MP3, MP3 player, connection, LCD, DVD, video
Reviewed on November 28, 2006With its superior handling and power, the Porsche Boxster S begs to be driven hard. A full array of cabin electronics is available for navigation, music, and cell phones, but this package could benefit from an in-dash CD changer.TAGS:seat, stereo, car, array, speakers, CD, cell phone, MP3
Reviewed on November 7, 2005Sony's CMT-DV2D microsystem sounds good and plays DVDs, but we'd prefer a multidisc changer to its integrated tape deck.TAGS:HTIB, DVD+R, Sony Corp., JVC, speakers, audio CD, CD, TV, MP3, video
Reviewed on November 11, 2005The Panasonic SC-PM91D DVD minisystem delivers a winning combination of value, capabilities, and performance.TAGS:Panasonic, speakers, playback, TV, CD, key, MP3, DVD
Reviewed on November 18, 2005The JVC FS-GD7 minisystem incorporates a five-disc DVD/CD changer and can double as a USB multimedia speaker system--we just wish it sounded better.TAGS:JVC, HTIB, CD, ID3-Tag, audio CD, speakers, USB port, VCD, MP3, multimedia, video
Reviewed on November 2, 2006Not the most practical car, the 2006 Volvo C70 looks very stylish with the top down or up, and its audio system is among the best we've heard. The navigation system isn't a very worthwhile option, since it usually can't be seen because of glare, and this car is not for the driving enthusiast.TAGS:Volvo, trunk, stereo, car, seat, motion, subwoofer, CD, key, speakers, MP3, button
