Answer 1

It really depends on the structure of the text data that you want to show.

For plain text, a UILabel is good. You can set the numberOfLines property if you want to show more than one line, or unlimited number of lines (set to 0).

For rich text, you can use a UITextView.

For HTML, UIWebView gives you Safari's rendering behavior and support.

For one-column tabular data, the classical UITableView is good. It's best for hierarchical information, that is, it is appropriate for when you have to present the user a bunch of records (maybe retrieved from some database) and you group them by some criteria (sections, or "group by" in SQL terminology). Each of those records may have additional information that you show when the user taps on the corresponding table view cell.

If you want to show multi-column tabular data, or any other complex layout that UITableView does not support, you can use a UICollectionView (available from iOS6+).

Answer 2

You can use UITableView Custom Cell with UILabels and UIImages for cars, please refer WWDC 2013 videos Building User interfaces for iOS7 and Best practices for great iOS UI Design https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/videos/ for reference and http://pttrns.com/categories/20-content-screen
