The four-door off-roader...
The four-door off-roader shares a platform with BMW"s X5 and weighs 2,640kg. Features include suicide rear doors, which open to 90 degrees for easy access. These have been designed with new "doorstop" technology, which prevents them from swinging shut unexpectedly.
In-ear hands-free kits...
In-ear hands-free kits make using your phone in the car simple, but not everyone finds them comfortable. However, there are a number of solutions ò€“ and the latest is the new T505 from Motorola.
It can be mounted on the visor, dashboard or windscreen ò€“ although we found the latter application difficult to set up and the mount cheap.
The unit looks good, though, with a warm, grey soft-touch finish and discreetly labelled buttons. Once fitted to the visor, it held fast and was intuitive to use, although some buttons required a firm press. It can be charged from the 12V power outlet, but the cord got in the way when we charged it on the visor. Call quality wasnò€™t great, with intrusive background noise and some distortion. The FM transmitter worked well, with spoken station readings so you knew which frequency to tune into. However ò€“ like other FM transmitting devices ò€“ in busy city centres it suffered from radio reception problems.
