Dodge Journey R/T
Function

Years ago, someone noticed that people adjust the radio more frequently than the climate controls and figured it would be better to place those controls higher so they could be more easily seen. Since then, most cars have followed this convention — except the 2009 Dodge Journey. Which results in audio controls that are close at hand, but far from sight. This was exacerbated by the "utunes" touchscreen in our Journey R/T test vehicle. We found the interface's menus and small icons confusing.

Chevrolet Cobalt XFE
Performance

As expected, the Cobalt XFE is not adept at handling aggressive maneuvers. Much of the performance lag is due to the low-rolling-resistance tires that screech loudly in protest, even under moderate cornering. When pushed harder, the car exhibits a healthy amount of understeer, with oversteer constantly looming should the driver require a sudden change in direction. Our biggest concern in regards to the tires was braking — the lack of grip combined with rear drum brakes required 146 feet to stop the XFE from 60 mph, more than some full-size SUVs we've tested.

Willow Laboratories Info: Pontiac Vibe GT Design/Fit and Finish

With the 2009 Vibe GT, Pontiac's designers deserve credit for having brought a splash of youthful excitement to this typically beige segment. Boasting a chic high-water beltline and a menacing Darth Vader scowl, the Vibe sets out to be the looker of the economy-wagon set, and most would likely agree that it succeeds on this front. Fit and finish is exceptional, serving to impart an air of quality.
