Subaru Impresses With The Impreza.

July 30th, 2010  / Author: admin

 

It’s lashing rain down. Night closed in hours ago and the torrential weather is pure El Nino. The humid day has given way to a wet and windy night as the Impreza’s headlamps struggle to penetrate the darkness, lighting a perilous path home.

Welcome to the Impreza GX. This auto won’t get even half the attention of its limelight-basking WRX elder sister. Yet the GX represents the greatest improvement over the auto it replaces than does the WRX. Let’s just say that the GX contributed more than any other model to the Impreza range.

Blessed with a whole raft of changes, both underneath and cosmetically, the Impreza GX offers plenty. It now stands by itself as the entry level Impreza, filling the gap where the LX once sat. Anti-lock brakes, in-dash CD player cruise control, driver and passenger airbags and driver seat height adjustment are all standard, with sports seats and sports suspension also thrown in to the mix.

On paper, the GX should stick to the road like kids stick to their version of the truth. It does much better. The firmness of the ride can be harsh on the smaller lumps and bumps, but it doesn’t cause discomfort. Think WRX ride quality and tone it down just a tiny bit.. The GX feels dynamically secure, too, tracking sweetly across bad roads and maintaining a neutral handling balance.

The steering is direct and nicely weighted with good feedback. The pronounced side bolstering of the front seats holds you tighter than a drunk accountant on a Friday night.

For your money, the Subaru GX offers an impressive package that, this time , has taken more than a few tips from its big sister. And it’s a much better car for it. larger sisters aren’t all bad either.

Stricter Laws For Uk Drink Drivers

July 30th, 2010  / Author: admin

The Government in the UK faces stepping up pressure to reduce the legal limit of alcohol intake when driving. Currently it is illegal to operate a car with at 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood which relates to approximately a pint and a half of medium strength lager for an average sized man. The new limit would bring it down to 50mg per 100ml of blood which is little more than half a pint or a large glass of wine which is in line with the European Union limit.

According to Transport Secretary Lord Adonis, there are in excess of 400 fatalities each year as a result of drink driving, but this figure does not reflect any incidents where drivers were above the proposed lower limit. He also states drug-driving is a key worry for the public.

The current UK laws mean that anyone found driving over the legal limit faces an automatic 12 month driving ban but there is current investigation by Sir Peter North QC into the possibilities of introducing a second, lower penalty for anyone above the lower limit such as 6 points on a driving licence. Changes could also see prosecutions for drivers found with illegal drugs in their bloodstream, regardless of whether it impaired their performance.

The Transport Secretary has proved that over 400 people a year are killed as a result of drink driving but this figure does not reflect any incidents where drivers were above the proposed limit. He also suggests drug-driving is a key concern for the public.

AA President, Edmund King agreed, “the legal issue is more complex than the limit as a sliding scale of penalties could lower the deterrent effect. There is a serious problem with drink drive repeat offenders with recent figures suggesting that almost 25% of drink drivers have served a previous ban.”

The proposal was not met amicably by everyone Tony Payne, chief executive of the Federation of Licensed Victuallers Associations. We will contest this very strongly,” he said. Because of some idiots behaviour other people will get penalised.

Thousands of drivers each year are convicted of a drink driving offence but even more are convicted, with lower penalties, of a speeding offence, something that causes many more fatalities each year.

The Alfa Giulietta A Modern Hatch

July 29th, 2010  / Author: admin

First impressions are predictably favourable. It’s a great-looking car. The “hidden” rear door handles lend it a sporty look and the new lights are pieces of modern art in their own way. They’re even more impressive in the dark thanks to LEDs: the rear lamps, for instance, have a unique spiral styling you’ll only appreciate in the dark.

Alfa’s designers kept retrospective tendencies at bay when penning the Giulietta’s exterior but allowed themselves a few reminiscences inside. Notably, the silver ball atop the gear stick and a set of toggle switches on the dashboard.

Elsewhere, it’s modern, with plastics covering most of the surfaces. Some switchgear and styling is carried over from the Alfa MiTo but the Giulietta’s cabin is higher quality. There’s plenty of space, too. It’s no coincidence the Alfa falls squarely between the Golf and Focus in overall dimensions.

Five engines will be available, including a pair of 1.4-litre units, a 1.6-litre turbodiesel and a 168bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel. Topping off the range will be the hi-performance Cloverleaf variation, powered by a 1,750 petrol engine producing 232bhp. All of the engines are turbocharged.

Can the same be said of how the Giulietta drives? First impressions suggest soThe Giulietta was comfortable on the motorway and refined, though wind noise was noticeable at higher speeds. The chassis has built in balance and loads of grip in the corners. It’s also stable under heavy braking and change of direction. Under duress, the standard electronic safety systems are deployed rapidly and they keep the car on line.

Alfa’s DNA system offers the choice between dynamic, normal and all-weather settings. t’s a useful way of eeking out more kilometres from each litre: regular mode has a less aggressive throttle map and maximum torque is available only in dynamic mode.Find One here Find Second Hand Cars.ie

Holden One Tonner Ute

July 29th, 2010  / Author: admin

Holden has many versions of pick ups and cars we took a look at its one tonner and found the following. The One Tonner cabin offers enough room for two and is comfortable and spacious enough for those long hours in the saddle. Electric height adjustment for the driver’s seat and a seat tilt lever for simple access to storage area behind. A common Commodore Ute complaint is the lack of in-cabin storage which Holden addressed with 250 litres of recessed storage space, including a big glove box, door pockets and centre console bin.The dashboard is pure VY Commodore as is the reach and height adjustable wheel and stereo controls on the S we drove. There’s a commendable lack of road noise, though the tray does rattle a little from time to time.

A driver’s airbag is standard. Anti-lock brakes are standard on the S The 296mm front and 286mm rear discs feel more than up to the heavy loads a One Tonner will be carrying. Seat belts have pre tensioners and the buckles are seat mounted to ensure a consistent fit regardless of where the seat is on the tracks. Side rearward vision is a bit restricted by the tray but a set of Cobargo Pub mirrors would soon sort that.

The One Tonner is essentially the monocoque front half of the sedan/ute and a sturdy separate chassis rear with an aluminium tray. Holden achieves what it claims is a very rigid installation by bolting two vertical uprights at the front of the chassis frame to the rear of the cab, instead of welding it in place.Like the other Commodore ute, this one is built on the long wheelbase chassis that spans the Statesman/Caprice. At 5230mm it’s 37mm longer than the Statesman, which could make tight manoeuvring a bit harder, but trade-offs must be made for carrying capacity.Each of the Cab Chassis variants come with a choice of three trays, including a hardwood floor, so there is something for everyone.
