Renault Ménage: This 2-seat luxury car provides a comfortable driving experience. But its powerful engine means you had better be

prepared for a big fuel( 燃料) bill each week. Its fantastic look will

make you the focus(中心) of all attention. Company: Renault, France. Price:$85,000

Company: Fiat, Italy. Price:$35,000

Land Rover Discovery: With 7 seats, this car is suitable for all driving conditions. It has good control for driving in the city and the power for rough roads and carrying heavy things. But it consumes

(消耗) lots of fuel.

Company: Land Rover, Britain. Price:$51,999

Hyundai i20: 4 seats inside. Perfect for short journeys but doesn’t have the power to make long distance driving enjoyable and comfortable. Still, at this price you can’t complain and you’ll be smiling when you have to fill up the tank too. It really saves fuel. Company: Hyundai, Korea. Price:$8,000
