In this year’s annual April automotive Consumer Reports (CR) issue, the magazine lists several 2007 vehicle models that held-up well and those that went bad over a five-year period. CR had their readers record how many problems their vehicle had during its’ first year as well as in its’ fifth year, and averaged how many problems rose for each vehicle, per every 100 vehicles.
Historically, Consumer Reports’ April issue breaks down each vehicle by first impressions and how things are in the early going. This can prove to be a helpful resource for many drivers, but at the same time counter-productive for others. While Consumer Reports gives great in-depth analysis of each-vehicle, their annual report lacks long-term analysis that car buyers would prefer to first impressions. Until now.
When all the smoke settled and the data was all laid out, two 2007 Honda vehicles were left standing; the Honda Fit and Honda CR-V. This may not seem like a big deal, but when a car manufacturer has 40% of the top 5 and none in the bottom 5, that’s something to brag about!

FIAT of Maple Shade Serving New Jersey & The Philadelphia PA Region is Offering The “Sign & Drive” lease for the Fiat 500.
Well-qualified consumers can lease a 2012 Fiat 500 Pop manual for $199 a

Tax, title and license are extra. This 42-month lease allows for 12,000
miles per year. Lessees under this program must take retail delivery by
January 3, 2012.
“Customers who have been considering a Fiat 500 purchase or lease now
have even more reason to check one out today,” said Reid Bigland,
President and CEO – Dodge Brand and Head of U.S. Sales. “The Fiat 500
line is attracting a new wave of customers that have not considered a
Chrysler Group product in the past. The brand is here to offer true
Italian style and design at an affordable price. You no longer need six
figures to buy an Italian car.”
Building on the attributes that made the original version an
icon more than 50 years ago – the 2012 Fiat 500 models provide an
entirely new generation of drivers with the best of Italian motoring:
craftsmanship, style and safety, combined with fun-to-drive small-car
efficiency.
The 2012 Fiat 500 offers high levels of safety, fuel economy, quality
and advanced technology. With its city-friendly four-passenger size,
engaging driving dynamics, all-new fuel-efficient 1.4-liter MultiAir®
engine with eco:Drive™ Application, seven standard air bags and
available TomTom® Navigation with standard BLUE&ME™ Handsfree
Communication technology, the new Fiat 500 offers a unique driving and
ownership experience. This package is further enhanced with new quality
and refinement adaptations for the U.S. market, plus a “Top Safety Pick”
for 2011 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Expanding on the qualities that have made the original Fiat 500
(Cinquecento) a timeless and efficient automobile, the new 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio (500c) adds open-air freedom and even more driving enjoyment.
And with its cleverly designed multi-position power-retractable cloth
top and iconic body-side silhouette, the new Fiat 500c delivers style
with class-leading interior sound quality.
At local FIAT Studios, customers may choose to personalize their Fiat 500 or 500c with selections including as many as 14 available exterior
paint colors, 14 unique seat color combinations, three models and two
interior environments. And to ensure that every new 2012 Fiat 500 will
be distinct, a full line of authentic Fiat 500 accessories by Mopar®
will offer customers even more personalization possibilities, including
unique striping packages, exterior and interior styling accessories and
authentic FIAT-styled merchandise.
Offering even more exclusivity and style, the limited-edition 2012 Fiat
500 and 500c by Gucci models now are arriving in FIAT Studios
nationwide. For more information, visit www.fiatusa.com/gucci. The
