Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
This model is not an all-new one. It has an aluminum structure and bodywork that closely mirrors that of Drophead Coupe. The appearance is less formal and quite unfamiliar. The design of this car strongly resembles that of the Phantom convertible in terms of thin LED markers at the sides and large headlights which are round. The grille is slightly raked. The vehicle also comes with an optional hood made of brushed steel and which matches with the frame of the windshield.
This model is suited for formal occasions although many people see it as a leisure vehicle for the richest among us. The aluminum wheel tires are 21-inch thick and are a distinguishing feature for this car model. The body of this car has five coats of paint and an aluminum coat on top. This finish according to the manufacturers is unparalleled even among those cars whose production is at the barest minimum.

Cadillac Escalade
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
The latest Cadillac Escalade [third generation] is the most luxurious and modern versions so far. A firm, a coil spring front suspension, which provides smooth ride than the other ones and fully boxed frame and handling, is more predictable and controlled. Also the rack and pinion steering feature makes it simpler to handle in tight spaces. Though the curb weight is over 5,700 pounds, it’s still a make bigger to call the Escalade nimble.
It is not a widen to call it fast, however, as its all aluminum 6.2 liter V8 provides 403 horsepower sped and 415 pound feet of torque offering quick acceleration in almost any condition. It has 6-speed automatic transmission controls the gear changes and provides a manual shift method for the drivers who are willing to push the couple of buttons on the Escalade’s traditional column shifter. The transmission provides power to the back wheels on 2-wheel-drive versions or all 4 on all wheel drive versions.

Hyundai i20 review
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
The Korean giant is looking to cut the right corners with Hyundai i20. Looking to be launched a month ahead of Hyundai’s power gun Hyundai Facelift, i20 seems each bit up to the mark. I20 hatchback spawning all across
Its interiors are lavish and the fuel efficiency is noteworthy. The dynamics of driving add to the beauty of this car. Hyundai i20 will have both the diesel and the power variant. The diesel story will be wrapped up with 1.4 liter engine giving it highest power in the realms of 90 bhp. In the petrol variant, it will aim to mop up 58 KW.
The chrome radiating front grill with circular defoggers look a treat to watch. The torsion beam suspension at the rear end is perhaps its only area of discern.

Chevrolet 1.4 E review
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
General Motors is nearly crushed by Auto Workers Union, automotive slump, rising fuel prices (that has forced it to shift from its forte and make smaller fuel economic cars) and liquidation worries. Despite this, the old guard Chevrolet keeps making it proud.
Chevrolet 1.4 E is an upcoming model of Aveo which plans to jump into the times of recession with solidarity. The car uses advanced technology along with great safety. High-tensile steel and safety belts that can be adjusted for height provide it with necessary safety. Safety door locks and child locks bestow it with more security. 1.4 E has chrome radiated grills which are a fad today.
Further, the 5 speed MT and pullout variation of door handle adds to the mechanical draw of the machine. When you check the interior, there are ample features like central locking, rear defoggers, power steering and power windows to boot home its value. The defoggers become quite important for continental states.

Honda Civic 1.8V MT review
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
Honda knows business. Right on the heels of the last production of its celebrated model City, it has launched Civic. The car is truly exceptional when style quotient is being weighed. It’s running like cream on the Indian roads and providing many with disposable cash, a reason to rejoice.
The 1.8V MT model is running riot across the world. It provides amazing interiors, luxury cabin space easily convertible into cargo area. Further, it provides with an enterprising drive and exhilarating looks.
Presently, the four door sedan is one of its kind, offering a manual as well as an automatic gear box. Its paddle shift locator is a vanguard concept. Performing better than the hybrids for the Honda Siel and many other ranges, Civic 1.8 V MT is truly what the doctor had ordered for Honda.
The car is also doing well in terms of fuel economy.

Suzuki SX4 Car Review
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
Admen know what ads they make. This one certainly has more than a hint of masculinity about it. This is probably one of the more robust cars in its segment. Aiming to be a car slightly above the Swift-segment, SX4 does not flatter to deceive.
Despite lying on the wrong side of fuel economy, the car provides ample reasons to smile. It bestows security and fun at the same time. Seating-space is married to style and the car does well with the all-wheel drive.
Side curtain airbags is a vanguard thing as far as buffer is concerned. Four wheel antilock disc brakes provides with the all wheel drive. This can be sheer fun and only the driver understands the panache of this facility. Even the Kia Rio hatchback which is well and truly comparable to this model does not have the services of an AWD. SX4 offers a 7 year warranty.
