Good: Standard all-wheel drive helps the 2012 Subaru Impreza retain traction in slippery conditions. Its continuously variable transmission helps fuel economy and includes six virtual shift points. Bluetooth audio streaming shows full track data on the car's radio display.
Bad: Browsing a music library using the radio is not an intuitive process. There is no premium audio system available for the Impreza.
Bottom Line: With all-wheel drive a rare find in the 2012 Subaru Impreza's segment, the car makes a good showing, but the cabin electronics are not cutting-edge. [Read more]

Good: The Parrot Minikit+ offers hands-free calling and A2DP audio streaming. It automatically downloads the phone book off a paired phone, enabling voice dialing of any stored contact. The noise- and echo-reducing microphone ensures clear calls.
Bad: Speaker quality is passably good, but could stand a bit of improvement.
Bottom Line: The Parrot Minikit+ makes good use of its voice controls and excellent microphone to deliver clear calls and a safer driving experience. [Read more]

Good: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX90 has a bright f2.5 ultrawide-angle Leica lens and good shooting performance for its class. Its built-in Wi-Fi lets you back up photos and movies to your PC, send them to your smartphone or Panasonic AV device, and upload to sharing sites.
Bad: The FX90's convoluted Wi-Fi setup made me want to smash the camera to bits. For its price, its photo quality is disappointing.
Bottom Line: While adding Wi-Fi to a point-and-shoot is a solid way to compete with smartphones, Panasonic fumbles it a bit with Lumix DMC-FX90. [Read more]

Good: The BlackBerry Curve 9370 runs BlackBerry 7 OS, and has a good 5-megapixel camera, 1GB internal storage, and a SIM card for traveling outside the U.S.
Bad: Unfortunately, the Curve 9370 lacks HD video capture, has uncomfortable side buttons, and is priced high for a phone of its caliber.
Bottom Line: Verizon's BlackBerry Curve 9370 brings you BlackBerry 7 OS and a global-ready SIM slot in an ultraportable package. Unfortunately, some design flaws and a high price for an entry-level device make the QWERTY handset hard to recommend to anyone except BlackBerry devotees. [Read more]
