YouTube

With the rising gas prices, we’ve all seen the shift from big SUV’s to smaller, more compact cars that are better on gas. If you’re sick of paying $3.00 a gallon for a vehicle that gets only 10 miles per gallon, then consider the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla or the Kia Spectra. These three cars are great on gas because of their small size. Even if you don’t drive like grandma, these cars will still save you a ton of money.

 

The Honda Civic is the only one of these three that makes a hybrid model which drives comfortably and gets unbeatable gas mileage. Why not consider going from paying $60-$70 a week to just $10 a month with a new Honda Civic Hybrid? Your wallet will certainly thank you for this change. Honda Cherokee Manual

If you’re not looking for a hybrid, check out the regular model. This car comes in different models so you can choose if you want the most economical, or a car that is a bit expensive but has a few added luxuries like a leather interior, but still comes with the great gas mileage you would expect in the cheapest model. The Honda Civic is a very affordable compact car that will save you a lot of money on gas.

 

The Toyota Corolla is known for being very dependable. With Toyotas, parts are also easy to find and you won’t pay a fortune if something happens to go wrong. This car is very small so if you’re looking for a lot of extra leg or head room, buying something bigger is probably a better option for you. Toyota Repair Manual

The Toyota Corolla handles great and you’ll never have to worry about being stranded on the side of the road because this is a very reliable car. This car is also very affordable. If you’re looking for your first car, or just looking to downgrade to something affordable and great on gas, you should definitely check out the Toyota Corolla.

 

The Kia Spectra is another option for a compact car that’s great on gas. This car is also very small but it gets great gas mileage and recently Kia has added more user friendly options in the car.

 

If you’re looking for a car that’s great on gas mileage and will save you money, these three options are all worth looking into!

If you´re looking to spend a little bit more money on a brand new car that is going to be both stylish and sporty, than you may think about looking into buying either a brand new Chrysler Crossfire, an Audi TT, or a BMW 135I. These three cars are all known to be incredibly stylish and unique in their designs. Although all three of these cars cost around 35,000 dollars, they do have some disadvantages that are worth looking into if you´re seriously considering buying one of these cars.

The Chrysler Crossfire is offered either as a two seat coupe or a roadster and the exterior design will always turn heads. Although the exterior of this car is definitely above average and incredibly unique, the interior is known to be less than average for it´s class. Chrysler Haynes Repair ManualA few disadvantages that might make you turn your head the other way are the bumpy ride, the bad steering response and the less than amazing driving dynamics. If you´re looking for something that is going to have it all- stylish exterior, comfortable interior, great ride- than this may not be the car for you.

The Audi TT was a pioneer in it´s class when it was first released in the mid 90´s. The car is still very popular today. Audi Haynes Repair Manual

This is only offered as a two seat coupe so if you´re someone that needs that back seat, this isn´t the luxury car for you.  This car has plenty of power and although the steering is not the best in it´s class, it´s still ok. The interior of this car is sleek and stylish and is definitely a lot more comfortable than the Chrysler Crossfire. This car may seem to have it all- looks, a great interior, speed, average handling- and it may be the right car for you.

The BMW 135I is one of the most affordable options for a BMW. This car is offered as either a coupe or a convertible. BMW Chiltons Manual

This car is known for it´s great performance, it´s more than sufficient power, and it´s sleek exterior design. However, if you´re looking for something that is going to give you a smooth car, it´s best that you steer away from the BMW 135I, as it is known to have a bumpy ride. Other than the bumpy ride complaints, this car seems to have it all!

Soaring Gas Prices…Which Compact Should You Be Driving?

without comments

With economies all over the world suffering from the economic down turn. Now is the time to get a good deal on that sub compact that you need to get through these tuff economic times. Toyota is offering huge incentives on their Corolla, Honda is offering a zero down payment (for all qualified buyers) and KIA will almost pay you to take there’s.

The Toyota Corolla Shop Manual has a long history with the United States, it’s celebrates 40 years of selling a cheap, no frills car, with great gas mileage this year. The Corolla today is base priced at fifteen thousand dollars and tops out at twenty thousand dollars for the XRS. The big difference between the fifteen thousand dollar Corolla and the twenty thousand dollar Corolla is the 1.8L 132hp engine and the 2.4L 158 hp engine offered in the XRS. You loose 5mpg both highway and city dropping from 34 mpg highway to 29 mpg and from 27 mpg city to 22 mpg which kind of defeats the purpose of buying the Toyota Corolla in the first place.

The Honda Civic Haynes Manual has been offered in the United States for thirty five years. In that time it has evolved from a tin can on wheels to an affordable, reliable, easy to maintain car with a great resale value. Today’s Honda Civic offers a wide range of models ranging in price from fifteen thousand dollars to just over twenty five thousand dollars. Twenty five thousand dollars may seem steep for a little four banger but tuners all over the world crave this car. Slap a computer chip, exhaust system, and rims on this car and you have yourself a car any teenager would love to have. The basic DX Coupe 5-Spd Mt comes standard as a five door hatch back with a 5 speed manual transmission, power windows, driver and passenger side airbags, and ABS brakes as standard. The amenities offered in the GX 5-Spd AT are almost like what is offered in a luxury sedan leather seating, traction control, ABS breaks, sunroof, power door locks, and much more. There are so many options and models offered by Honda that you can pretty much walk into a Honda dealership and ask them for any variation in options and colors that you can think of and they will be able to deliver it.

The KIA Spectra Repair Manual is Korea’s answer to Japans stronghold on the sub compact market. It is priced to sell with a base price of less then thirteen thousand dollars and only fifteen thousand dollars for the high end SX. It does have an appeal if for no other reason then it is cheap. The problem is it is just that cheap, the pedal needs to be held to the floor to stay with the flow of traffic, the automatic transmission never shifts correctly giving you a jerky ride and the interior falls apart in the heat. The safety record should be the most concerning rating 2 out of 5 stars in driver to driver collision. Making it the lowest rated car of the three sub compact cars reviewed here. It is not all bad though the 2.0L 138hp engine comes very highly rated getting high marks for reliability, ease of maintenance and overall performance.

When purchasing any of these three cars keep in mind that car dealerships all over the world are willing to make huge concessions to sell you a car and recommend an automotive repair manual. Your goal price should be as close to base invoice price as possible. For the Toyota Corolla the base invoice price is $14,352 for the Honda Civic the base invoice price is $13,982 and for the KIA Spectra it is $12,965. Good luck and happy car shopping.

The 2nd generation of Volvo C70s will be making its way to the vehicle scene this year, on the 13th of April 2006.  This time, the vehicle holds a number of decisions.  Like its exterior color, one could essentially select from a wide range of colours that includes Black Stone, White Pearl, zeal Red, Silver Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic, Flint grey Metallic, Blackcurrant Pearl, sorcery Blue Pearl, astronomical Blue Pearl, and Zanzibar Gold Pearl.

This vehicle holds and uses the platform that was also utilised by the Volvo S40.  The second generation Volvo C70 was designed by John Kinsey and was built by Pininfarina.  It now has a 3 piece retractable metal hardtop rather than the soft convertible top which was the traditional one.  However, there are no more coupe versions to be offered to the market.

2009 Aston Martin DBS. It just gets better.

without comments

There aren’t many cars out there that are worth more than a quarter of a million dollars, but if one were to judge based on appearances alone, then the 2009 Aston Martin DBS would most certainly be one of them.The car is as elegant as James Bond would like to have it. 

The 2009 DBS better be pretty though, because it will set prospective buyers back between two hundred and seventy and three hundred thousand dollars, but just as with any Aston Martin, there is more to this car than just a pretty face… 

Beneath the hood of this beautiful specimen sits one powerhouse of an engine – a 5.9 liter V12, top speed of more than 190 mph propelled by that 510hp.To reach 60 in this new DBS you should be targeting a civilised 4.3 seconds. 

The DBS’s initial launch into the automotive world was just eighteen short months ago, its beauty and performance took the driving world by storm then and Aston Martin hasn’t changed a whole lot since the original – they didn’t have to. 

New for the second incarnation are the diamond turned wheels which, aside from being absolutely stunning, manage to take an impressive four and a half pounds of weight off per wheel – that coupled with a portion of the body being made from carbon make this version almost two hundred pounds lighter than the DB9 which it is partially patterned after. 

The 2009 version also has an option for two rear bucket seats where the original just had a modest amount of storage behind the front seats. This at least helps to give the impression that Aston Martin also had the family man in mind when slightly retooling this incredible piece of machinery, though I don’t know a whole lot of people with two children, aside from professional athletes and movie/television stars who could afford to plunk down three hundred thousand for an everyday travel vehicle. 

For drivers, like myself, who would rather be immersed in their favorite music than hearing the roar of the massive 510 horsepower V12 engine rumbling beneath the hood, the 2009 DBS comes with an absolutely out of this world sound system – a ten speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system that is truly capable of making ears bleed should you have the desire. 

The 2009 DBS still uses the space age form of entry that every one fell in love with from the original – the ECU or “Emotion Control Unit” in lieu of using the more traditional keyed form or automobile entry. 

If you have more than a quarter of a million dollars to spend on your next vehicle and are still having doubts about the Aston Martin DBS, ask yourself this – if it was good enough for James Bond to use (and destroy) not once, but twice how could it not be good enough for you.
