These three trims may have some distinctions but all these carry some similar features. For example, all Ridgelines no matter what the trim will feature the hidden trunk in the cargo bed that can act as an ice chest. There is also the dent-proof bed liner, the four-wheel independent suspension and the trailer hitch. All Ridgeline pickup trucks are powered by the 250-horsepower V6 engine as complemented by the 5-speed automatic transmission.

Honda Ridgeline Review

To celebrate the company’s 50th year in the business, the Honda S2000 was introduced in the market. Officially, this was launched in April 1999 but the design and the technology used on this car was first used on the concept car released in 1995.

The name S200 is based on the engine displacement of the car, at 2 liters and the model simply continued the tradition of Honda nomenclature that was started by the S500, the S600 and the S800 of the 60s. This was the first sports car under the Honda fold, after the S500, S600 and the S800.

Estimated Price Range for Used Honda S2000: $3,000-$35,000
Estimated MPG for Used Honda S2000: 17 City/23 Hwy
Available Trims: base, CR

The production of the S200 is expected to cease in 2009, roughly ten years after this was introduced to the public. This 2-seater roadster is known for its high-performance and known for its high-winding inline 4-cylinder engine and as accentuated by its balanced chassis. This was considered as a pure sports car thanks to the adoption of the minimalist cockpit and plus the addition of a suspension system worthy for the racetrack.

Since 1997, The Chevy Venture was able to captivate the hearts of many minivan lovers for eight long years. It has a u-body structure and available in 3-door and 4-door style. The Venture was manufactured as a substitute for the Chevy Lumina APV which became famous because of its radical design.

The external layout of the Venture was modified in 2001, and then the introduction of the AWD edition happened in 2002. However, several negative reviews about the narrow car cabin and the low number of sales implied that the changes were not appreciated by many fans of minivans.

In terms of safety the Chevy Venture received a four-star rating from the NHTSA during the head-on collision test. But the Pontiac Transport, which is the exact replica of the Venture, received a very low grade from the IIHS during its frontal crash experiment. As a result, the safety reputation of Chevy Venture was compromised and the sales started to slow down. It was in 2005 when Chevrolet replaced Venture with the Uplander.
