Still, Hyundai's sweet spot is value for money. The Tucson, its newest sport ute, is about $4,000 less than the Santa Fe SUV. It doesn't surrender comfort or interior space for the sake of feeling sporty. The Tucson doesn't overimpress with styling; few cars in this category do. But the slightly pricier GLS version has a V-6, 2.7-liter engine that doesn't whine when the car is filled with four adults and luggage. It's practical almost to a fault.--By Bill Saporito

We found the navigation system to be slow and confusing but loved extra-cost options like the heated front seats ($540) and the rear-seat DVD system with wireless headphones...

It doesn't make sense to buy the 400h to save money, given that the hybrid system adds about $5,000 to the price, eating up any savings on gas. But you will travel farther between fill-ups and enjoy a quiet ride...
...Teachers know all this, but . . . "For too many parents, dolling up and then rolling up in their SUV is a big part of their life," says a Melbourne Year 6 teacher. "School is where they show off." A primary school in Sydney's south has asked its cleaners to pay special attention to the windows of the kindergarten rooms - on the outside they're usually smeared with parents' hand (and nose) prints. In return for their help - and sometimes high fees - some parents want power. Ascham, an exclusive private girls' school in Sydney's east, endured a public row earlier...
