CarzPage Review: Mini Roadster Cooper S 2012

This is the new mini roadster, and it is the penultimate mini-model (the Countryman Paceman is based in 2013) before the appearance of a whole range of new baby Brits launch in 2014. The Roadster is a mixture of what we already know, the combination of the more rakish windshield of the year 2011, the controversial coupe with the body of the drop-top convertible. Is it good? Read on for CAR first drive review of the new Mini Roadster find out about that.
Thus, the only one mini roadster convertible version of the Mini Coupe? CarzPage Review: Mini Roadster Cooper S 2012.

Not quite. Both have a steep windscreen than the standard Mini hatch and convertible, but the Roadster is actually around the convertible body-in-white, then stiffened the rear suspension is based. And there have been efforts to distinguish the new roadster from the Mini Convertible: it is only two seats instead of four, the soft-top is 20mm lower and much more rakish on the back than the convertible boxy back end, and instead of pulling back (electrically) as a sunroof, then (electric) Click to expand the Roadster is the hood is a complete DIY element.
You loosen the latch on the header rail, then tack back over your head – it folds flush with the flat rear deck, instead concertinaing like a pram hood on the convertible. To the roof back in place, a button between the roll bar of the locking mechanism before you lift it back into place manually. Either mode requires a little muscle (and gets out of the car when you turn in a couple of great opportunities), and although much of the manual operation is established, it is to learn as no surprise that automatic mode is an option – and standard equipment in the UK. All you have to do is, catch or un-latch the roof. CarzPage Review: Mini Roadster Cooper S 2012.

CarzPage Review: Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line 2011

We recently had an Audi 1.4 TFSI Sport A1 in the office. If you have not seen it, think Quattro colors. It is up to the nines pasted, but looks kinda cool, if not to everyone’s taste. It made an interesting comparison with CAR own diesel-A1 S-line trim. CarzPage Review: Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line 2011.

Compared with our TDI, the 1.4 petrol turbo was faster next. The 1.4 TFSI is a great motor and fits the character well A1. The trade-off for the fact it’s more fun to drive? Its 126g/km CO2 emission level of diesel can not double digits. Although our 1.6 TDI 106g/km spits, the latest versions actually snip under 100g/km by a digit.

Our next A1 TDI is slow compared to the gasoline-sports. I think you have to change very quickly in the second – if you do not, shoot the speed and the car sounds in pain, do it too early and you lose all speed and difficulties remain. CarzPage Review: Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line 2011.

Apart from the style, gear and step-off at low speed, both A1s shared similar characteristics. This remains one of the smartest small cars.
But as much fun as the racing was, I have a simple personality. For me, I’m going with my Audi A1 TDI S-Silver Stick. It’s good for me. Silver fits the Audi A1. There – I said it. Apparently silver is a uniform color on cars today that it has become rather passe – I’ve read a lot of comments about the color of my long-term A1. But I do not agree. A quick look at the car park shows, I’ve made the right choice. Black only does the job equally.

CarzPage Review: Gozilla Skyline Nissan GT-R 2012

You can see the difference? No? Come, look really closely. In fact, do not bother, because although this is a thoroughly revised 2012 model year Nissan GT-R looks, there is absolutely identical to the 2011 model year.

Thus, the Nissan GT-R is still huge and brutal and undeniably Japanese. And now it’s even faster, more capable and more entertaining.
Nissan GT-R (2012): What’s new?

The word “entertaining” is what the GT-R is a machine such Marmite. Many people see it has a super-sophisticated all-wheel drive system, a transmission efficiency minimum-input/maximum and read the improbable acceleration numbers and lap times and take on this GT-R is everything quickly and without participation; a car that needs no skill and offers no reward other than bragging pub. More power to persuade is never that vocal group that the GT-R is a real hero car and a dazzling experience.

The cold, hard facts are that this 2012 GT-R was ground in each area: for the first time since its introduction, the GT-R 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine is mechanical and not just by a new configured ECU and uprated exhaust package.

All in the name of more throttle response and more power the higher rev range – it has heads, sodium filled valves, new, a revised intake system revised.

The shocks have new programming language, the springs are revised, the transmission shifts more quickly and cleanly, the end wall is structurally stiffer … The GT-R has even different spring rates and rear suspension geometry from one side to the other to the driver’s weight into account. It is a typically meticulous job of chief engineer of the GT-R, Mizuno-san and his team of GT-R possessed.

CarzPage Review: Peugeot 3008 Hybrid 2011

Peugeot Citroen Hybrid4 concepts were shown for the past three years – and the wait is finally over. The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is here – and we have driven it. UK sales start in November 2011.

This is a significant car on numerous counts. It is the first production diesel-electric hybrid for sale. It is the first time you or I be able to buy a vehicle Hybrid4 PSA. And if Paris is to believe, it can go to revolutionize the way in hybrid cars are sold and put together.

Read on for CAR first drive review of the new 2011 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4.
Peugeot Hybrid4: a history lesson

A brief summary of the PSA hybrid solution. The French have long championed diesel, and there are a lot of oh la la was and teeth chattering in the corridors of Peugeot Citroen HQ will include how to turn the world to gasoline-electric hybrids, many of them are terribly expensive, custom-made models with knee high emissions and sky-high price tags.

PSA, with much help from Bosch has come up with what it claims is a much simpler system: Hybrid4. It takes an existing model with an internal combustion engine – Step Forward 3008 – and screw on a relatively low 27kW electrically driven rear axle. Clever electronics controls the interaction between the front engine and rear wheel drive electric motor, with not a single physical connection between the axles.
