While handling is quite competent with either engine, the overall ride quality is downright plush and refined with the V6. For those who value more agile handling, most will likely be pleased with the SE thanks to its recalibrated suspension and steering. And for those in rainy and snowy locations, the Sienna offers a big advantage with its all-wheel drive versions.

Sports car is defined as "a small low car with a high-powered engine, and generally seats two people". A more detail definition of sports car by the Houghton Mifflin dictionary is: "An automobile equipped for racing, especially an aerodynamically shaped one-passenger or two-passenger vehicle having a low center of gravity and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high speeds."

The 2014 RAM 2500 is a powerful heavy-duty pickup truck. This truck is capable of towing and hauling heavy loads and provides passengers with a relatively comfortable and quiet ride in its upscale cabin. For the current model year, the 2014 RAM 2500 has a redesigned rear suspension, an optional 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, and an available rear air suspension system.

Looking back at the history of custom trucks, several companies that formed the foundation of the custom sport truck industry have maintained to this day. One of those companies is Belltech Suspension founded out of the old Bell Auto Parts store. Belltech helped innovate bolt-on lowering suspension using corrected and improved geometry.

There are several options when getting the front of your Chevy or GMC down on the ground. There's a definite give and take with each of the choices, however. Let's weigh these options and then demonstrate the best way to get your truck's front suspension tucking big wheels while retaining drivability.

Volkswagen CrossTouran goes with its modified bad road kit complete with longer suspension springs it gets 20 millimetres more ground clearance than the standard model.

With its relatively quick acceleration, the drive of the 2011 Elantra Touring is more spirited than one would expect from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Its European heritage is apparent both around-town and on the highway thanks to its well-tuned suspension, responsive steering, tight turning radius and surprisingly quiet cabin.

Just how much fun a driver will have in a new Altima will depend to a large extent on the choice made under the hood. While most will be satisfied with the performance of a four-cylinder model due to its sound chassis and responsive steering, it's really the V6 3.5 SR with its healthy thrust and sport-tuned suspension that transforms this "family sedan" into something that feels closer to a "sport sedan".

The 2011 RX 350's compliant suspension and excellent noise insulation provide a super smooth driving experience bathed in quiet luxury. The overall performance quality is confident, the steering is precise and 3.5-liter V6 is impressively quick to accelerate when needed.

The new Odyssey's reworked body structure that's both more rigid and lighter, along with a retuned suspension, provides a well-balanced combination of comfortable ride quality and confident road manners. Braking ability has also been improved via larger brake discs this year. And also particularly noticeable is just how quiet the 2011 Odyssey is, every bit as quiet as a luxury sedan.

If anything, the Prius is even better following last year's redesign which made aerodynamic revisions to further reduce drag while also giving the car a sleeker and sportier look. The gas engine size was increased and the electric motor was also strengthened, resulting in both additional power and still better gas mileage performance, with a combined city/highway EPA rating of 50 mpg, simply tops in the conventional hybrid segment. Handling agility was also enhanced thanks to a new suspension tuning and improved electric steering.

As a compact economy car with a small and fuel-efficient engine as a priority, driving performance will vary depending on the transmission. The 5-speed manual produces a drive that is surprisingly spirited, while the 4-speed automatic gets better highway gas mileage but is less lively. While overall handling is adequate but uninspired, it can be upgraded via the sport-tuned suspension on the SE.

We have seen trends come and go in the custom truck scene throughout the years. A recent trend that's been catching on in the custom truck world is taking an older truck, modifying the frame, slammin' the stance with a 'bagged suspension and tucking tall wheels and tires deep inside the wheel wells.

Trying to be a little different, Paul Wheeler of Ohio traded his custom '94 Silverado for this '84 Suburban that already had some work done to it. He started reworking the frame and suspension at his friend Jason Freeman's barn and his parent's garage with help from Jason Burkett and Freeman.

Pre-runner style trucks have gained in popularity recently since graduating from races in Mexico to the streets and deserts of Southern California. The trucks, built to run off-road race courses in comfort prior to the events and act as chase vehicles, are built for reliability and suspension travel. Transitioning to daily use, pre-runner trucks offer comfort and drivability as well as off-road capabilities. When Ryan Reese of Spring, Texas, decided to build his '11 Ford F-150, his goal was to bring that pre-runner style and functionality to Texas, where most off-road trucks are of the mud bogger style.
