Toyota Issued A New Variant Of The Toyota Avensis Family Car That is Comfortable To All State Roads

Style has never been the Toyota’s strong point, but the exterior has been refreshed with a sleeker grille and reshaped headlights that give the car a lower and wider appearance. Look closely at the rear and
you’ll see the tail-lights have been subtly tweaked, too. Inside, Toyota has also simplified the centre console, while a leather-trimmed steering wheel comes as standard and the dashboard is now finished in a better-quality soft-touch plastic.

Not only does it look and feel much classier than it did before, but the Tourer also drives better. Extra sound-deadening keeps wind, road and engine noise at bay, while tweaks to the suspension have ensured the ride remains as comfortable as ever. Improvements could still be made to the way the Avensis tackles smaller road imperfections, though; potholes aren’t soaked up as well as they should be.

In an effort to spice up the handling, Toyota has fitted a stiffer anti-roll bar, plus the steering is now quicker than before. On twisty roads the Tourer feels more agile than it used to. The problem is that all the controls – the steering in particular – are a bit lifeless. There’s quite a lot of grip and very little body roll, but simply no driver involvement.


The engine delivers the same 126bhp of power, so the 10-second 0-62mph time is unchanged. But the car is noticeably more refined; only when you explore the upper limits of the rev range does it sound harsh. The Avensis is most at home on motorways, where the engine settles down to a barely audible hum.

Nisssan Juke R Observers Doubt Answer Speed Car

Nissan has confirmed the performance statistics for Nissan Juke-R - the supercar crossover concept that combines the power and handling of the legendary GT-R with the bold design of Juke.

Created in the UK, Juke-R has been developed by Nissan and built by leading motorsports outfit RML with advice from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E). Over a 22-week period two models have been created - one right-hand drive and one left-hand drive - with extensive performance testing now completing the final stage of the development project.

Nissan Juke-R's 485bhp 3.8-litre V6 twin turbo engine propels the car from a standing start to 100kph in just 3.7 seconds, before continuing on to a top speed of 257kph.

Testing has proved that Nissan Juke-R enjoys supercar handling from a compact crossover, thanks to use of the Nissan GT-R's suspension and drivetrain as well as an FIA-specification roll cage and unique split rear wing. In a straight line, the GT-R's more aerodynamic shape ensures that its top speed is higher despite the same power plant being used in each. GT-R also remains lighter than Juke-R due to the roll cage and extra chassis reinforcement that has been required to place the supercar's components into a Juke body.

Nissan Juke-R's physical dimensions obviously resemble Juke more than GT-R. The car is the same length (4135mm), height (1575mm) and has the same wheelbase (2530mm) as Juke, while the width has increased from 1765mm to 1910mm, with flared wheel arches surrounding 20-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels.

Inside, the driver and passenger sit in OMP race seats, but with all the controls and instruments from GT-R at their fingertips. The 7-inch touch-screen display is in the centre of the dashboard, providing access to the wealth of information about the car to which any GT-R owner has become accustomed.

Toyota's First Prius Branded Hybrid Wagon

toyota prius wagon photos

Three models will be offered. Besides the base V Two model at the $26,400 price, there will be the midlevelV Three ($27,165) and the V Five ($29,990).
This is the first of a variety of new models that will carry the Prius name as Toyota expands a brand that has become synonymous with "hybrid" since it was introduced in the U.S. market in mid-2000.

Toyota says the Prius V is designed for "young, active families." The "V" stands for "versatility." It's essentially a crossover version of the third-generation midsize Prius hatchback that arrived for 2010. It is intended for people who like the idea of the gas-sipping hybrid, but need a bigger, roomier vehicle.

The Prius V seats five, just as its hatchback sibling, but has 58 percent more cargo space — 34.3 cubic feet — which Toyota says is more than that of "80 percent of the small SUVs on the road today."

Fuel Economy
One primary motivating factor for people buying small cars is that they often get better fuel economy than larger vehicles. But that is not to say that they are all equal as regards fuel economy. They vary greatly between models. If you are able to find out the estimated gas mileage on a small or mid-size car, use that as a guide and simply compare miles per gallon or kilometres per gallon. It can still however be a good idea to test out a small or mid-size car to make sure that it really gets the mileage claimed. This is done by filling the tank, driving a certain distance, keeping track of the number of miles travelled as shown on the odometer, refilling the tank, and seeing how much gas was used. Then simply divide the miles by the gallons used to get miles per gallon. This type of test is especially important if you are considering pre-owned vehicles.

The Advantages of Buying from a Car Dealership or Private Seller



The car buying process has never been a breeze. There are many factors that need to be considered such as certification, emission tests, warranties, and many more. One headache-causing decision you have to make is whether to buy from a dealership or a private seller. Always remember that buying a car, regardless if new or used, involves a huge amount of money. It should be bought with enough information and care.

The best advantage you can get from buying a private seller is that you can get a car almost half the price in dealerships. On the other hand, the biggest downer in private buying is that you are not always guaranteed that the car has a good history. You simply buy the car as you see it without knowing if it's in good condition or if it was stolen. The law states that a stolen vehicle must be returned to the original owner.

Electric Golf Cart Went Out on Strike After the Rainy Day


The recent several heavy rains let our life more inconvenient. Fortunately, it is sunny day in the weekend, so I went to the park with my family. But I found that the electric golf carts which had been used to carry visitors bring to rest, and the visitors just went on foot to the mountain.

Then I consulted to the park's management office, and I realized that it is all because of the heavy rain. The staffs didn't park these golf carts indoor when it is raining, so that the carts were caught in the rain outdoor. Now they went out on strike, and the management was contacting the manufacturer to fix them.

The management officer said, "Maybe because we don't put the golf carts in the garage and then they are caught in the rain, they don't have any power so that they are out of service."

New Renault Clio Revealed The Next Generation Renault Supermini


The Clio will be sharper to drive than before, too, and is set to get a wide range of small, efficient turbo petrol and diesel powerplants. The exact line-up is still being kept under wraps, but Renault’s advanced new three-cylinder turbo – previewed in the R-Space concept – is set to feature.

This 900cc unit delivers 108bhp and 160Nm of torque, and promises CO2 emissions of only 95g/km, as well as 76.3mpg combined economy. This amazing efficiency is down to a host of technologies, including a ‘pulse start’ system which allows lightning quick restarts. Plus, by combining radio spark plugs for quicker ignition and EGR Boost technology to cool and reuse exhaust gases, the unit allows more efficient engine combustion.
