Good: The 2012 Honda CR-V adds Pandora as an integrated audio source and can also read incoming text messages. A new LCD at the top of the dashboard shows a variety of useful information, such as route guidance and fuel economy. The rear seats fold flat at the pull of a lever.
Bad: Honda's navigation head unit uses a graphic design and color palette different than that shown on the upper LCD. Text message integration only works with a few phones.
Bottom Line: A very practical and easy-to-drive vehicle, the 2012 Honda CR-V shows off a few tech highlights, but is mostly content to rest on its laurels. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: The Pantech Burst is blessed with 4G LTE, a terrific 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a great 5-megapixel camera, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, interesting design touches, and a sweet $50 price tag.
Bad: The Burst's call quality and speakerphone are disappointing, battery life is so-so, and you'll need a tool or a set of talons to remove the back cover.
Bottom Line: At just $50, the feature-rich Pantech Burst packs in more high-end goodies than you'd expect from a budget LTE phone. However, call quality and battery life aren't its strong suits. [Read more]
