Reviewed on February 6, 2008The 2008 Honda Fit Sport looks good, but falls short of its potential. We want really good mileage and low emissions in exchange for a low-power engine, but the Fit doesn't deliver, and it has no interesting cabin tech.TAGS:Honda Fit, cabin, car, stereo, speakers, San Francisco
Reviewed on April 21, 2006The Klipsch Synergy Sub-12, the company's most affordable 12-inch subwoofer, sounds great on music and movies.TAGS:Klipsch, subwoofer, speakers, stereo
Reviewed on June 7, 2007The Sony MEX BT-2500 is a good option for those looking to spend no more than $200 on a Bluetooth-enabled in-car stereo. Its straightforward design and intuitive controls make it easy to use, but its limited calling capabilities and poor outgoing sound quality let it down.TAGS:Bluetooth, streaming audio, Sony Corp., call, stereo, audio, cell phone, display, speakers, CD
Reviewed on December 19, 2007The single-speaker Zvox 425 TV speaker system delivers excellent overall sound on movies and music and pumps out ample bass from its built-in twin subwoofers--but at this price, we'd like to see more inputs and some digital connections as well.TAGS:subwoofer, stereo, speakers, volume, TV
Reviewed on December 14, 2007The Venturi Mini is a stylish, all-in-one car tech device with an attractive design and an easy-to-use interface.

Reviewed on April 2, 2007We were very impressed with the 2008 Land Rover LR2, which combines solid cabin gadgetry with a luxury interior. And all this comfort rides on Land Rover's legendary off-road platform. At its price, it's a great value.TAGS:cabin, Alpine, stereo, car, speakers, CD
Reviewed on June 6, 2007We found quite a bit to like about the 2007 Lincoln MKZ, and only a few real problems. But the stereo is really what this car is all about. You will enjoy driving anywhere in it as long as you have some good CDs.TAGS:tone, glass, DSP, stereo, frequency, speakers, car
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, car, stereo, speakers, array, CD, cell phone, MP3
Reviewed on April 6, 2007As a safe luxury cruiser, the 2007 Volvo S80 does all right. Its cleanly designed cabin has a nice feel, but this is no sports car, even when outfitted with the Sports package.TAGS:Volvo, sedan, stereo, seat, car, speakers

Reviewed on April 1, 2008While the 2008 Ford Mustang Convertible looks and feels good, it doesn't have much performance to back it up. Its cabin tech gets the job done, but only offers a couple of advanced features.TAGS:DSP, seat, stereo, car, audio, speakers, volume, music, San Francisco
