Babe Of The Month - You’re my Honeybunch, Sugarplum, Gumdrop, Sweetie Pie, you're the Apple of my Eye!

Congratulations to Fulham F.C

May I congratulate Fulham Football Club on their success in the UEFA Europa Cup tonight.

Their achievement in reaching a first European Final in their 131 year history is without doubt a 'fairytale' that has come to fruition.
Fulham are a traditional family club, built on good old fashioned principles including a strong work ethic, and the ability to operate financially within their means.

The masterstroke was the appointment of Roy Hodgson (below left) as manager in December 2007.

By employing such an experienced and astute manager in Hodgson they have allowed him to assemble and mould together a group of players (with no superstars), and install into them genuine self-belief and a magnificent team spirit, combined with a never say die attitude on the field.

Despite often being overshadowed by their affluent West London rivals Chelsea, they have achieved a milestone tonight I suspect even their own fans could only ever have dreamed of - a European Cup Final !

After an epic campaign, which began way back on the 30th July last year with a third-qualifying round tie against FK Vetra of Lithuania, The Cottagers' run has spanned a total of 18 European ties, in which they have overcome the likes of Italian giants Juventus, German Champions Wolfsburg, current Europa Cup holders Shakhtar Donetsk and last night Hamburg.

Their success has been the only shining light on what one can only describe as a poor season for our domestic clubs in Europe, with the 'Big Guns' failing to get beyond the semi-finals of either European competition this season.

The UEFA Europa Final will be staged in Hamburg at the HSH Nordbank Arena on the 12th May 2010, where Fulham will play Atletico Madrid for the trophy.

I am sure every football fan up and down the country wish Fulham the best of luck in Germany next month.

May I say your Club is a credit to the English game.

Lexus ES 350, Gentle and Quiet

Edition 2010 Lexus ES 350 is not an aggressive sedan. If you want racing-kebutan who need a car with a shock acceleration like a European sports car, the Lexus ES 350 is not an option. But if you are looking for is the softness, silence, sophistication and comfort, these cars are the right choice.

Test Drive site claims that you can comfortably drink a cup of cappuccino while driving on it without worrying about spilling everywhere. This car is very 'smooth' but still powerful. Six-speed automatic transmission capable of delivering power without a pause as if in every gearshift.

Lexus ES 350 V6 engine carries 3.500cc which can produce 272 horsepower. 100km/jam speed can be obtained from a stop in just 6.8 seconds. Note that's great for bongsor sedan like this.

We stepped on the gas pedal response will be felt immediately. Engine is very smooth because equipped with electro-hydraulic system that can reduce vibration.

Lexus ES 350 interior no less captivating. A wide selection of wood panels that can add an elegant cabin car. For the 2010 model, had the better navigation facilities because it can be enabled with voice commands.

Safety factor is of particular concern. In front there are dual airbags and dual knee airbags. Plus side airbags and curtain airbags in order to protect the head from the hard collision.

Fiery encounter could light up the Emirates - Betting News with Betfred

VERSUS

Emmanuel Adebayor will enter the proverbial lion's den when he returns to the Emirates in a light blue shirt on Saturday evening.

The Togolese striker left Arsenal to join Manchester City last summer and then further incurred the wrath of Gunners fans as he raked Robin van Persie with his studs and then celebrated in front of the away support during his new side's 4-2 win earlier this season.

Adebayor was given a one match ban for his behaviour in that tie and Kolo Toure, who also swapped life in North London for Manchester, has warned him not to get carried away again if he scores - and the striker is 6/1 to be first goal scorer with Betfred.

Toure, who will be looking to help Ivory Coast upset the World Cup 2010 betting in the summer, said: "He needs to show more intelligence because we all know what he did was not the best reaction - and as a friend I've told him that."

City need a win to ensure they remain in contention for a top four finish, as they are two points behind Spurs with four games to go. This urgency could mean many punters see City to win at 3/1 with Betfred as a decent football bet.

Spurs and City will clash at Eastlands at the beginning of May in a tie which could go some way to deciding which of them qualifies for the Champions League.


My Tip Of The Weekend:
I expect a much closer encounter between City and Arsenal this weekend than their meeting earlier this season at Eastlands, so my tip is under 2.5 goals in the game, which can be backed @ 6/5 with Betfred and looks the value bet - Saturday 24th April, kick-off 5.30pm, live on ESPN.

Toyota duplicate Lexus SUV problems

Toyota Motor Corp(7203.T) confirmed results of a Consumer Reports test revealing a handling problem in a Lexus sport utility vehicle and sales will not resume until it is fixed, the automaker said on Friday.

whether you are a fan of Lexus SUV? and if you find a problem in your car?

Separately, U.S. Congressional investigators sought more information about the review of electronic throttles by the automaker and its consult on the matter as part of a broader review this year of unintended acceleration.

Energy and Commerce Committee lawmakers scheduled a May 6 hearing and asked that Toyota U.S. sales chief Jim Lentz testify. Lentz appeared before the panel in February.

Both developments and news of a voluntary recall in the United States and Canada of 870,000 Sienna mini vans for a cold-weather corrosion risk came ahead of Monday's deadline for Toyota to decide whether to appeal a proposed $16.4 million Transportation Department fine.

U.S. safety regulators alleged earlier this month that Toyota knowingly hid information from regulators and violated regulations by delaying a recall in January for gas pedals that would not spring back as designed.

Toyota has said it had done a poor job of communicating before its recalls, and has taken steps to address the problem.

The latest safety issues come as Toyota is trying to repair its image for quality and reliability in the United States following massive recalls, congressional and regulatory investigations, and a flood of new lawsuits.

Toyota shares fell less than 1 percent on Friday in New York to $79.37.

Toyota halted U.S. sales of the 2010 Lexus GX 460 luxury SUV on Tuesday and stopped production overall after Consumer Reports warned of a rollover risk and issued a rare warning advising consumers not to buy it.

Road handling tests by the magazine published by Consumers Union found that vehicle's rear end could slide out in a tight turn.

Lexus spokesman Bill Kwong said in a statement that "our engineers in Japan replicated the driving procedure and have duplicated the Consumer Reports result."

Toyota was "evaluating potential remedies" and it was too early to determine the timing of any repairs, Kwong said.

He added that sales will remain suspended until the company is confident the issue is resolved.

David Strickland, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said on Thursday the agency would conduct its own tests on the Lexus used by Consumer Reports and on others of the same model.

Strickland applauded Toyota's handling of the warning on the Lexus SUV, which is a departure from the stiff criticism from regulators and lawmakers over how the company managed recent recalls.

Toyota recalled more than 6 million cars and trucks in the United States across its product line in October 2009 and in January for unintended acceleration linked to the "sticky pedal" problem and for floor mats that can trap the accelerator.

NHTSA engineers are in the midst of another review to address lingering questions about whether there are possible software or other electronic glitches in Toyota throttles and whether they could be behind consumer complaints of unintended acceleration.

U.S. safety investigators have never found any problems with the Toyota throttle systems, but lawmakers, safety advocates and others have questioned whether investigations over the years were thorough enough.

Preliminary work by Toyota engineering consultant Exponent (EXPO.O) showed no problems with the throttles, Toyota has said. The automaker has also said its internal reviews over the years have found that the system is sound.

Congress wants more answers, however.

In a letters on Friday to Toyota's Lentz and Exponent officials, Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Bart Stupak sought contracts, correspondence, reports and analysis related to Exponent's work for Toyota.

Toyota said in a statement it is "more than willing to meet with the committee and discuss" electronic throttle testing and steps to improve quality assurance.

Waxman and Stupak took issue with Toyota's conclusion in March that it had rigorously examined its throttle systems and found no problems.

Tottenham 2 - Arsenal 1

Danny Rose, the first season, put a big thorn in Arsenal title hopes a fantastic volley from 30 meters to the Spurs on their way to victory.

But it was a Heurelho Gomes, who came the scent of roses at the end of a series of brilliant saves - three of them to deny Arsenal's Robin van Persie Supersub.

Gomes says to keep Spurs their first victory against Arsenal 21 times from 1999 - and a challenge to the fourth Champions League place.

There was a time when a joke was Gomes, Premier League, as he motioned around the penalty area and was in the darkness that Harry Redknapp has taken transfer.

Redknapp Tottenham fans do not praise or Gomes airport in the night, I could never have imagined in Brazil, Cult Hero comes.

Arsenal now have six points for Chelsea at the top of the table remaining four games, and I saw the title and Champions League dreams will die within a week.

They show that Van Persie has been adapted season could be a different story.

Dutchman was damaging ankle ligaments during five months of an international conference. But it was presented in conjunction with the remaining 23 minutes.

Gently pulse to facilitate the return to action Arsenal striker nowhere to go to the specific objectives, Rose and Gareth Bale at the beginning of the strike for a second time Van Persie had other plans.

Arsene Wenger said before the game that Van Persie has the class of Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney has been, and won for the Dutch law.

With 10 minutes left, Van Persie in the chest, turned and hit a volley Gomes that the address bar.

Then, once played for Arsenal a free kick, Van Persie goal at the top left and it seemed that he pins Gomes has been sent.

In one corner, Sol Campbell, the head goalwards, bouncing ball at Gomes and Luka Modrić bar.

The 85th Minute by Van Persie, Theo Walcott Lt on the right side with power and his heart was involved in low Nicklas Bendtner to break.

Suddenly, the status of the entire control of the Spurs for reeling and van Persie were again shown Gomes has 20 feet, but he went again and Redknapp people were hanged.

It was a foretaste of the primary pieces of the puzzle is missing arsenal. If Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas is also stored in each season known.

Wenger said: "Van Persie is our game.

"He has not played for five months, but he gives us something unique and something else."

Until the introduction of Van Persie, Arsenal struggled badly.

Although Campbell, who was terribly wrong on his return to White Hart Lane, sought clarification on the line, came together and showed commendable spirit Kannus you stop FA Cup semi-final against Portsmouth.

After 10 minutes, when Rose, almost his first touch, his eyes the ball after Manuel Almunia beats light, and returned with his interest volley operation of the control of fresh air.

try Management midfielder Modrić and Ledley King's command back to Arsenal to create opportunities for my success and became a desperate attempt to Bendtner.

Rose optimized knee and was replaced by David Bentley in the first half, but Spurs in March.

And has doubled two minutes of the second half, the interest rates.

Jermain Defoe by Campbell, the crucified and is slowly on the bottom and Bacary Sagna, Bale is considering satisfaction and feet visible side by Almunia.

Sagna Walcott is to a certain pace to the right and Van Persie to introduce the war began to create a grand finale.

Almost a miracle, but Gomes, Dutch, the better.

This is good news for Chelsea, whose position at the head of fixed Arsenal defeat Spurs and Manchester City are the number of fourth place.

Arsenal reward at the same time the housing is dust. Five years ago, and there is no reason to .

offering price of the Moselle in France has manufacturing facilities nano Europe

It seems Tata Nano will set the world record of a car which is there in the media spotlight the maximum number of times. Even though, Tata Motors has confirmed that Nano Europa is slated to hit the European shores by 2011, it has not announced whether the car would be locally manufactured or imported. Of late, a PTI has reported that the province of Moselle in France has indicated that it could lay a red carpet for the Indian automaker to make Nano Europa in their region.wow this is amazing

"Tata Motors should take a look at the Moselle province for establishing manufacturing and logistics units for Nano cars," Moselle Development Agency director General M David Malingrey told PTI on the sidelines of the JEC Composites Show. He also told PTI that the province also has lucrative business openings for major auto component makers as it is home to German firm Daimler's manufacturing unit for its popular urban two-seater small car 'Smart'.

It may be recalled that while unveiling the European version of Nano- christened as Nano Europa-at the 79th Geneva Auto Show, Tata Motors’ Ratan Tata (chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Motors) has said that the aforesaid car will be hitting the European market by 2011. However, the European version of what has been dubbed the people's car would be different from the one to be sold in India because it would have to meet different safety and emissions standards, Ratan Tata told reporters at the auto show. Sources on condition of anonymity have revealed that the Indian company will sell the Nano in Europe for 5,000 euros (US$6,316). It is widely believed that once Nano Europa gets launched, Tata Motors would leverage on the humungous distribution network of Italian auto giant, Fiat S.p.A.

With a length of 3.29 metres and width of 1.58 metres, the Tata Nano Europa continues to be stylishly petite but surprises with its spacious interior and generous leg space. The slightly longer wheelbase of 2.28 metres combines excellent space and manoeuvrability, further improving on the benchmark standard set by the Tata Nano. The enhanced spaciousness is complemented by redesigned interiors, marked by smooth curves and a high tech yet gentle feel.

To meet the driving needs of its target customers, the Tata Nano Europa will be powered by a 3-cylinder sporty all-aluminum MPFI engine matched with a 5-speed automatic transmission, and electric power steering. The gasoline engine will be class-leading, providing high fuel efficiency and low CO2 emission of less than 100 gm / km meeting the twin goals of being environmentally friendly and stylish – just like the Tata Nano.

The Tata Nano Europa meets all safety regulations. In addition to the all sheet-metal body, its energy absorbing design, use of advanced restraint systems, ABS, ESP and Air Bags will enhance passenger safety.

Just like the Tata Nano, the Tata Nano Europa incorporates exterior compactness with interior comfort and seeks to provide motorists the pleasure and utility of personal mobility combined with affordability and environment-friendliness, in a world where smaller, fuel-efficient cars are emerging as a preferred choice

Lexus GX 460 is considered unsafe

Just several months ago, Toyota Motors Corp. had a recall of millions of their SUVs of various models due to a sticking gas pedal problem. This was followed by the incident of a runaway Toyota Prius who sped out of control because of the same gas pedal problem

what your responses about the Lexus GX 460?

Toyota has not gained back its reputation after these incidents when its new Lexus GX 460 got another negative feedback this time from Consumer Reports. Accordingly, the magazine rated the new 2010 Lexus GX 460 “Don’t Buy, Safety Risk” referring to the possibility of rollover accidents during sharp turns.
Toyota immediately ordered a temporary ’stop sale’ of these Lexus GX 460 2010 cars to conduct further investigations regarding this problem. According to the sales statistics, Toyota had about 6,000 Lexus GX 460’s that was sold since the car went on sale December of last year.
“We are taking the situation with the GX 460 very seriously and are determined to identify and correct the issue Consumer Reports identified,” Mark Templin, Lexus vice president and general manager, said in a statement.
I think Toyota need to make extra efforts to test their vehicles before selling it to public. They cannot afford another problem that would contribute to their current bad reputation.

Renewing Volkswagen Touran

The German brand launched its new range of MPV received cosmetic changes, mechanical and equipment. With a front similar to recent models of the company, will begin shipping in the Old Continent from next September.

The Volkswagen Touran MPV is a 5 or 7 seats that never came to Argentina and has just been refurbished by the company in Europe. The new line will begin shipping in September with cosmetic changes, new mechanical and equipment upgrades. Everything to keep fighting back to its rivals like the Citroen C4 Picasso, Ford C-Max, Renault Grand Scenic and Peugeot 3008, among others.

The main changes are in the front of where he adopted the new design trend this brand and models such as the Polo, Golf and Sharan VI. Inside the cabin there is a new steering wheel, instrument panel, center console and some commands

The five-seat variant has a trunk with a capacity of 695 liters, which can stretch up to 1989 with subsequent seats contested. For now, the company only said the seven-seat version with the back two rows refuted has a volume of 1,913 liters.

As for engines, will be available with three petrol engines and four diesel. The first is a 1.2 TSI (105 hp) and 1.4 TSI (140 or 170 hp), while the latter are 1.6 TDI (90 or 105 hp) and 2.0 (140 or 170 hp). The transmissions are manual or six-speed dual-clutch for the 170 hp gasoline engine and the two most powerful diesel.

It will have three trim levels: Trendline, Confortline and Highline. From the first fully air conditioning, audio system with CD and MP3 player, Electric windows and headlights with daytime running lights, among other things. The most complete variants may have dual zone climate control, sports seats, multifunction steering wheel and roof bars.

Beijing: so will the future MG

Less and less British, more ... China. Even the MG TF, the last bastion of the historic British brand, it seems next to fold. Compared to the voices that were chased in recent months about a possible retirement of the spiders' (former) trademark octagon, owned by SAIC, now the story seems to acquire greater substance.

We will know something more next April 25, the date of opening of the exhibition in Beijing. For the occasion, the Group noted that Chinese MG (and Rover) announced the presentation of a family of concepts that seem destined to take place over ten years of TF.

Have in common the theme of the project X210, and the basic features: compact size of sports cars, for two and a mid-engined, declined in coupe and spider.

Their names will be a revival of traditional MG. This will, in fact, the Midget, a spider with a canvas roof; the TF, a coupe-cabriolet is equipped with a roof structure similar to that recently proposed by Renault Wind, and the GT, a coupe shapes that recall , albeit distantly, some sporting a European production (Porsche Cayman, Audi TT).


As for the mechanics, which will be shared between the three versions in the coming days you will know if it is a direct derivation of the TF (the usual 1.8 DOHC 16-valve 135 hp with manual five-speed) or there will be more news tidbits.

According to the organization in fact too many blue cars circulating in Russia, and most of the time ignoring the traffic to the detriment of common drivers (in Italy CONI has proposed a cut for economic reasons). The protest action is the distribution of leaflets and stickers in more trafficked areas, accompanied by slogans such as "The servant of the people take off the sirens!" or "Megalki (flashing blue in Russian) are a disgrace for Russia."

In parallel, the Far send a letter to the institutions to demand the abolition of flashing for passenger cars supplied to the state structures, cars that are not clearly identifiable as belonging to officials of different ministries.


The protest in question stems from the widespread discontent among motorists for the sudden roadblocks and security risks whenever there is the passage of the blue car. According to Russian newspaper Vedomosti that in November 2009 had already launched online hunting with illegal flashing Megalka News website, the list of state structures that are entitled to the blue car in December 2006 amounted to 977 in Russia. Of these, at least on paper, 50 belong to the entourage of the President and 230 secret service (FSB).

Mini E Race: baptism on the track at the Nurburgring

After the challenge that has long opposed Nissan and Porsche chasing the record for production cars at the Nurburgring, in recent days the historic route of the Nordschleife was the scene of an important news: the track and the Mini, version zero emission the Anglo-German Compact.

The car, dubbed Mini E Race, led by former DTM driver Thomas Jager covered the 20.832 km circuit in 9'51 "45 with the average of 126 km / h (by the way: the time obtained is comparable to one of higher in one of the editions of the German Grand Prix before the war).

The project was designed by Peter Krams, Project Manager, BMW, with the aim of assessing the potential fast acceleration of the car. Compared to the Mini E, the weight decreased by 225 kg (1,465 to 1,240 kg: nearest, therefore, the Mini "traditional" which weighs about 1,100 kg), using some elements of the carbon fiber body.

The structure, using a kit suspension has been lowered by 11 mm. The cabin has been stiffened with a roll bar cage 35 kg and is accentuated sporty with a pair of anatomical seats Recaro Pro Racer, accompanied by six-point seatbelts and steering wheel 320 mm in diameter.

The aerodynamic benefits of two spoilers (front and rear) and a diffuser below the rear bumper. The engine remained the same as the Mini E: an electric motor from 204 hp (150 kW) from 225 Nm of torque, powered by a lithium battery 35 kW can cover a range of 200 km.

At transmission level, but have been modified gear ratios (longer) and was fitted with a new mechanical limited slip differential. Interesting performance: 187 km / h top speed (compared to 152, however, self-limiting, the Mini E Street) and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.5 seconds.

The experiment, according to the statements of leaders BMW, was an end in itself: you just wanted to show how even an electric car can provide good performance when using racing track

The Greatest Football Team Of All-Time

With the 2010 World Cup only 58 days away I thought it time to wet the appetite of all football fans, right across the globe, by selecting MY OWN personal 'Greatest Football Team Of All-Time.'

Now football is without doubt a game of opinions, and you may consider the players I have selected as not worthy of their place in my greatest team, or feel I have missed out players who you would deem as more laudable of selection, which I fully appreciate.

This was not as tricky an exercise as I had initially thought, as so few players are the cream in all the fundamental categories deemed in my selection process.

The criteria for which I based my miscellany on was as follows:

* No pre-war players (footballer was a cruder game back then & the competition was less fierce)
* Great technical ability
* Sustained excellence over a number of years
* An ability to inspire others
* Fervour for battle

There are 12 Europeans and 4 South Americans, and they all satisfy the criteria in abundance.

Four of them played in the 1950's, seven started in the 1960's, two in the 1970's, two in the 1980's and one in the 1990's.

No one country is represented by more than two players.

Goalkeeper:

Lev Yashin - 1954-70 (USSR)

Defenders:

Paulo Maldini - 1988-02 (Italy)
Franz Beckenbauer - 1965-77 (West Germany)
Bobby Moore - 1962-73 (England)
Carlos Alberto Torres - 1964-77 (Brazil)

Midfield:

Alfedo Di Stefano - 1947 (Argentina) , 1957-61 (Spain)
Michel Platini - 1976-87 (France)
Johan Cruyff - 1966-78 (Netherlands)
George Best - 1964-77 (Northern Ireland)

Forwards:

Pelé - 1957-71 (Brazil)
Ferenc Puskás - 1945-56 (Hungary) , 1961-62 (Spain)


Subsitutes:

Goalkeeper:
Gordon Banks - 1963-72 (England)

Defender:
Franco Baresi - 1982-94 (Italy)

Midfield:
Zinedine Zidane - 1994-06 (France)
Forwards:
Diego Maradonna - 1977-94 (Argentina)

Eusebio - 1961-73 (Portugal)

If you feel you would like to agree or disagree with any of the players I have chosen in my 'Greatest football team of all-time,' or you would like to suggest a player who you feel should be included, then please do not hesitate to post any comments below.
All feedback is received with interest and thanks.

Smart diesel to get up and go

Volkswagen Canada turns the lights are turned on, the sixth-generation Golf. So far this year, selling almost 200 percent per year, says company

Golf, of course, not just a car, but it 's lineup of two-and four-door hatchback, with a rather nice property

There are also diesel and gas engines, five-and six-speed manual gearbox, six-speed automatic gearbox and even VW 's wonderful DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) automatic hand. Prices range from $ 20,175 to $ 30,175.

In all, the sleeping one golf. Gas version with five-speed manual transmission comes with a sample price of $ 22,675, but almost no one will buy it. At the other end, Highline TDI diesel (31,875 USD) is heavily laden car with slick-shifting DSG. It is a bit expensive for most buyers

But TDI Comfortline DSG hits the sweet spot at $ 28,274. It'sa strong, well-equipped small car with a smart landing gear, good seats and the combined fuel consumption of 5.8 liters per 100 km. You \ 'll go to the 1000-plus miles between diesel fill-up

In addition, it is as clean diesel, as you can buy now. No, not really a gasoline-electric hybrid-net, but it is at least as clean as your average gasoline

Diesel Party, as the car is determined by the competition, the landing gear - in particular the suspension and tuning. If the patch is bad, the suspension absorbs bumps and clunk. If the roads are smooth and attractive drive will be pretty fun, which is basically a family car.

For engines, let me just reiterate: the one you want is not the 2.5-litre five-cylinder rated at 170 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. There is nothing wrong with this power plant; it handles the car's 1,500 kg quite nicely. VW says the Golf with this engine will do 0-100 km/h in eight seconds or so.

But the diesel is a stunner. The horsepower rating is not much to look at (140), but that torque number (236 lb-ft at a very low 1,750 rpm) is what you'd get from a good-sized V-6 today – one that slurps down twice the fuel. There is just so much get-up-and-go with this diesel. VW's direct-injection, turbocharged unit really is state of the art in modest-sized diesels.

Consider what the competition offers. The Hyundai Elantra Touring ($22,899 for a loaded GLS Sport with automatic transmission) has a gasoline-fed inline four-banger rated at 138 hp/136 lb-ft. Believe me, the Golf TDI is a much livelier performer.

Another potential rival is Subaru's Impreza five-door. Consider the Impreza 2.5i with the Sport Package and automatic transmission at $26,695. Its four-cylinder comes in at 170 hp/170 lb-ft. Again, the Golf diesel is far stronger in the torque department, which gives the VW a more robust feel both in traffic and on the highway, where at speed the engine is turning over well below 2,000 rpm.

That's the performance story and it's a good one. And safety? There is a full array of airbags – front, side and overhead curtain – along with stability control, electronic brake force distribution (to maximize braking effectiveness) and a robust safety cage. Yes, the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates the Golf a Top Safety Pick.

As for the cabin, it's not overly big, but adequate for four adults, two front, two back. The Golf wagon has a bit less head and leg room than the Elantra Touring and the Impreza, but it's not a huge difference. On the other hand, the Golf wagon has 960 litres of cargo room, considerably more than these other two (689 L for the Elantra, 538 L for the Impreza).

What really sets the Golf apart – and dramatically so – is the VW's seating. These seats are brilliant. VW somehow manages to provide firm but not bench-like cushioning. Even the cloth upholstery is attractive.

Moreover, the driver's seat offers good thigh support and is height-adjustable. But changing the angle of the seatback requires an awkward reach back to turn a knob. If you are heavy, older, arthritic or just ornery, this system is really, really irritating. VW will tell you that the knob allows minute adjustments that are impossible on most cars with easy-to-reach levers. But that does not make the knob any easier to reach.

The dashboard layout is also very simple and effective. The gauges pop out with clarity and various controls are wonderfully intuitive. An auxiliary jack for your MP3 player is standard, as is the eight-speaker sound in this model. What's missing is storage space; there just isn't enough of it for your odds and sods. Worse, smallish cup holders are very irritating for caffeine addicts who go big or go to sleep.

What might be troubling for some buyers is VW's reliability. It's been an issue for years, if you believe some of the research. The auto maker was rated third to last in J. D. Power & Associates' 2010 Vehicle Dependability Study, which looked at how 2007 models had held up. At least VW improved from second to last in 2009.

On the other hand, Consumer Reports magazine says the Golf wagon's reliability is average and recommends it. In fact, the Golf wagon is CR's highest-rated small hatchback/wagon. If nothing else, the Golf comes with a four-year/80,000-km, bumper-to-bumper warranty.

VW really went to town in remaking the Golf and that is surely the biggest reason why buyers are jumping aboard. This Golf wagon, meanwhile, the diesel version with the best transmission, is powerful yet fuel efficient; practical, yet (relatively) fun to drive; comfortable yet not the roomiest in its class for passengers; and safe yet hardly dull.

There is a charm here, and the price is reasonable, too. It's a combination that sells.

2010 Volkswagen Golf Wagon Comfortline DSG

Type: Compact station wagon

Price: $29,740

Engine: 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel

Horsepower/torque: 140 hp/236 lb-ft

Transmission: Six-speed DSG automatic

Drive: Front-wheel-drive

Fuel economy (litres/100 km): 6.7 city/4.6 highway; diesel fuel
