I'd like to thank our new sponsor Savoy Autos for helping us make this new review possible. When it comes to getting in-depth information about new cars on the Internet, The Car Connection has to have one of the most comprehensive sites around. Often they will have complete information about every make and model of a vehicle, including options, expert reviews, and even customer opinions.
You know, with Puerto Rico's roads looking more and more like either dirt country roads or SUV test courses, I've seriously considered getting a vehicle with more heavy duty suspension. And if you factor in the frequency our streets get flooded, it would also be nice to have a vehicle that had an above average clearance. An example of a vehicle that just might fit the bill is the 2008 Toyota 4Runner.
With quick acceleration from either of its engine options, you'll feel comfortable knowing that you can accelerate out of danger if the need arises. And its precise handling might come in handy when you're trying to weave in and out of traffic as you make it to work on the Luis A Ferre Expressway. Better still, if the unexpected should happen, the 4Runner offers good protection for the inhabitants in the case of of a crash.

I don't know about you, but when I bought my last new car, I was very close to buying a hybrid. The missus and I looked very close at the Toyota Prius, but decided to go with the Honda Civic. But that was when gasoline was at $0.50 a liter in Puerto Rico. Times have changed, and it looks like we'll be paying around a $1.00 (or more) a liter from now on.
So I'm pretty sure that when we get lucky enough to go shopping for a new car, the Prius is going to be on the top of our list. Since I nearly live and breath the Internet, before we make any kind of major purchase, I typically do a lot of research on the net. Sites like TheCarConnection.com offer a wide variety of resources to help when researching a new car purchase, especially when researching a Toyota.
