S Tronic Car, Audi S4 Car Reviews
The S-Tronic Audi S4 is a driver of downsizing, this time, but the "downsizing" is satisfied? Read our review to find out.
What is it?
The Audi S4 is a product of Audi sports car right-sizing strategy. And while that sounds Naff, this means that the big V8 is less polluted and less on the company's products, such as the S4, gone is the old V8 woofly Car replaced by a new 333hp supercharged V6.

How is it on the outside?
Except would R8 and TT, Audi design is not exactly what you want to bring to your attention. Part of the S4 a casual glance, and you would think that this is just another hawk Boggo 2,0 TDI by an early 20's type on the ALDI degrees are awarded control. But pull Anorak Audi, and you will be on-the-headlights, LED, quad exhaust, side skirts and fine - wait for it - Gate-silver mirror. The S4 really brings the b in subtle, but the number of the car - an allusion to view its performance potential, but it does not seem as bizarre as the top model RS4 should be at the end of 2010 happened.

How is it on the inside?
The interior of the S4 is a case similar to the outside. There are some great body-hugging sports seats, carbon trim on the center console and a chunky, sport steering wheel, but nothing unusual. But after a few miles from the car, in the S4, you advertise with its mix of comfort and convenience, the heated seats, like they were melting in my pants feel - in the right direction - for the MMI system you are with the Stereo controls allow navigation and air with ease. All this is a sensible choice.

How to ride?
The big problem with the S4 engine. Gone are the V8 instead woofly replaced by a cleaner, more powerful V6 supercharged engine 333hp. And to be honest, you miss the V8 for about three, maybe four seconds. A prod of the accelerator results in an immediate response to overfeeding, grrrr, a metal plate from the engine, and pull on the way to a major step. Audi has the linear shaft torque naturally aspirated V8, the minute you have to offer in the regulation of the V6 to 90% of its torque at just 2,200 rpm voted. Overtaking is a breeze.

The engine is only part of the package. My car had the S Tronic DSG, which makes the power increase to the four wheels, almost seamlessly, and away from sports option, which sends more torque to the outside rear wheel during cornering to keep embedded in the nose in. Everything works so well brought Confidence serious sport still feeling because it feels like one of the heckbetonte Audi sedans, the company has ever done.

And if you only tool in town, the S4 is also pleasant and Benin, the A4 normal, especially if you opt for adjustable shock absorbers, which have a firm but comfortable ride. The direction is clear, even though it feels artificial.

Verdict
The Audi S4 S Tronic £ 36,825 fee. But the problem is the S4, that all these things that this car has a very good figure on the list of options. So if you are the adaptive shock absorbers, decent stereo spec, clean, Sat Nav and so on, is the price too close to the impressive and more than 50 pounds Large BMW M3. On the other side of the S4 is so competent that when it was just more exciting, we almost do not recognize what the point in a new RS4.

Carrera S 2009 Porsche 911 Car Reviews
Simply a pleasure to drive. I said, this time 58,490,358,903,458,390 but it remains true: No other car offers the tactile sensation, a purity of the fact that driving a Porsche 911 and perhaps the best example. Management is about money - so you instant feedback as the car. I never got sick of seeing either.

Audi Car Reviews Audi electric R8

Audi Car Reviews Audi electric R8
The future of the Audi sports car is loaded in. This impressive superpower, e-tron - and Auto Express has taken over the streets of California for the leadership.

The R8 concept looks like a baby, but that's not music car show. It is also on sale in 2012 and is the Tesla Roadster electric version and a forthcoming Mercedes SLS rivals. In essence, e-Tron is a completely new platform, developed with a lithium-mid-mounted lithium-ion battery - the joint venture by Sanyo. There are four motors: two on the front and two on each side of the back. Overall, this engine produces 313bhp from zero rpm.

The body is constructed of carbon fiber composite material, which is an aluminum frame. Accordingly, e-Tron the scales at 1600 kg - not bad, if the batteries alone weigh a powerful 470 kg. Other features include an intelligent brake-by-wire ", which is a powerful ceramic discs - this as much energy as possible into the operation of the site includes top batteries.

So what is the speed of the car? Well, Audi claims 0-62 km / h in under five seconds, 40-70 km / h in around four seconds and a top speed is electronically to 124 km / h.. It would be higher if the drag does not drain batteries as much at these speeds.


A torque control system is used for sending power to individual wheels, it can provide strong treatment. In the standard mode, takes it a 30:70 rear bias in favor of the R8-style place again.

The e-tron has a range of 154 miles, while the battery can be recharged from a 400V power supply in two hours. Making a connection to a household outlet, and it takes six hours. The most striking thing about the car is its size. Although inspired by the R8, the body is not much bigger than a Ford Fiesta.


Anyway, it looks fantastic. Neat details include a metal that has a mobile component. It remains for maximum aerodynamic efficiency closed during normal driving, but can open the cooling system of the car.

There's more to LED lights are also seen. They work with a small camera and sat-nav to illuminate around the corner before the driver turns the steering wheel. In addition, they can rely on the rain or fog. There is no lever, but a simple selector from the center console. And instead of a regular panel, there is a fold-free flanked MMI cabin control screen analog scales - a speedometer and a meter. In addition, e-tron can speak to warn other vehicles, accidents and parking in the reserve.

The acceleration is quick as lightning, and even at highway speeds, it is accompanied by only a faint hum of the electric motor. This prototype uses a modified suspension R8, so is the ride down. But the car is agile, despite more difficult to identify.

While it is still in development, feels ready, the Audi showroom. And that's the point, says Thomas Krauter, Project e-Tron. "This is not just a show car is a fully functional prototype," he said. "Apart from some aluminum wheels remains the same street. We will also be a sound synthesis." But our biggest challenge will be to keep all electrical systems cool and take on the latest technology of the battery. "
Only 1,000 models will be built, each with £ 120,000. And the lack of infrastructure for electric car is a big problem. But if Audi will overcome this difficulty, the E-tron certainly a hit.

Rival: Tesla Roadster
Developed in collaboration with Lotus and Tesla is partly based on
the Elise, but it has a battery and electric motor power. It's fast and handles like a Lotus should be - but at a price of 90,000 pounds has hampered Estate Sales

SEAT Leon Car new Reviews

SEAT Leon Car new Reviews
Styling / Image
A recent facelift has not much, reduce the visual impact of the Leon rapid. With its bold grille, arched roofline and sculpted flanks, the seat is unmatched in the style stakes. Buyers have a choice of six trim levels - S, S Emocion, SE, Sport, FR and Cupra. The models are entry-level steel rims look cheap with plastic strips, while the S versions Emocion top benefits of the product alloy. Eco-friendly motorists can take the S and SE versions of fuel-efficient Ecomotive Pick clothing. For performance enthusiasts, there is the FR and Cupra models are distinguished by a further wing, a lowered sport suspension and twin-chrome exhaust outlet.

Interior / Practice
Despite the use of superior materials, the latest in cabin Leon still lacks the elegant atmosphere of the VW Golf and Ford Focus. And thank you to the seat trim and the black plastic dashboard inside feels a little too dark. At least, is spacious, with room for five adults. Better yet, the five door layout convenient way decent, although the boot lip, it is difficult to lift heavy objects in the cargo space of 341 liters. There are plenty of kit, with all the computer models, more air conditioning and a trip. Earlier in the range you're on cruise control, involves a multi-wheel steering function, and privacy glass.

Engines / Performance
The Leon machines of its parent company VW, which means that buyers are not lacking in selection. Entry-level 1.4-liter engine and 1.6 liter gasoline, lack of desire and should be avoided, while the 123bhp turbocharged 1.4-liter TSI unit is a gem - powerful, frugal and refined. Diesel fans can choose between the gruff 1.9-liter TDI, or the torquey and refined 2.0-liter common-rail oil burner with either 138bhp or 168bhp. The RF is an ardent sports 208bhp 2.0-liter TSI engine from the Golf GTI. This will be increased to 238bhp Cupra. Five and six-speed manual transmission are standard, while the gearbox quick shift DSG is an option on most versions.

Driving
With a chassis of the VW Golf MkV it is not surprising to find the book Leon decent driving dynamics. Even entry level are surprisingly entertaining, with well-weighted head, strong grip and good body control. The FR and Cupra hot reinforced the new company XDS electronic limited-slip differential, the traction exiting corners. You also half-masted and stiffened suspension that sharpens responses in the corners, but also offers a bone-shaking ride.

Ownership Costs
Like all models in the SEAT line-up is that Leon decent value for money, undercutting rivals the most common. Choose a diesel version, and we can at least expect 50.4mpg, while the green-theme Ecomotive will squeeze out 62.8mpg. Gasoline engines are less impressive, although the 1.4TSI emits only 148g/km of CO2, which means an annual tax on the CD costs £ 120 Residual values are averages for most models, although the 1.9 TDI Ecomotive retains about 44 percent of its value after three years.

Safety / Environment
Before the lifting of Leon respectable four-star EuroNCAP rating guaranteed. All models have six airbags and electronic stability program, while the bi-xenon headlights and a tire pressure are additional options. Buyer wants to take to minimize their impact on the earth should Ecomotive, which emits 119 g CO2 per km - a significant reduction of 71g/km Cupra on fire.

Land Rover Freelander Series 1 Reviews

Land Rover Freelander Series 1 Reviews
The Land Rover Freelander SUV, is the favorite nation, with more than 200,000 examples of homes available in the UK alone since 1997.
Prices by only a few thousand pounds of used and attractive combination of car-type dynamic model, an excellent value for money and style, says Chip, his popularity on the square one from second-hand.

However, these all-terrain is not without headaches, and the first cars in particular, many gremlins face - what you will find the task of a good harder than you think. Here, we show you how to avoid pitfalls when buying baby Land Rover.

What to look for
The performance of the K-series 1.8-liter is not particularly good, while leading the four-cylinder and well-documented problems of cooling at the head of the joint failure and costly repairs. The unity of the gasoline V6 is thirsty, and when it comes to diesel models, the motor is avoided, according to Tu.

With hard use, fail Steptronic automatic transmission as standard for the V6 2.5 equipped. So discover for models with rods, which they were drawn - there are enough weak points in the process of the Freelander, without taking additional stress. Td4 the oil burner is only reasonable choice for most buyers.

Checklist
Engines: Best Buy is the Td4. The 1.8 K-series has a very slight cooling, lead so that even small leaks in the air can be blown head gaskets. Check oil filler cap for white grease.

Transmission: can mean whining noise from the gearbox, differential or transmission wear, while a clonking bushes and joints suggests DRIVELINE must be replaced.

Leaks: look under the car, but remember the reason for the leakage of oil, gearbox and differential. Also be very suspicious of examples that have recently been treated with steam.

Cab wet: Water is often in the cockpit, so check footrest and a loading ramp. The carpet is mildew and rot can floorpans, so take a look in the right panel.

Alternatives
There was a time when the Land Rover had the 4x4 market to itself, but from Japanese rivals have stolen a march on the Freelander. Cars like the Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 all offer superior reliability, with good dynamics, the space and adequate off-road performance. What they can not keep up with the affordability, image, and the availability of the Freelander.

Ford Focus New Review Car Ford GGR RS370FR

Ford Focus New Review Car Ford GGR RS370FR
This very special Focus RS is based on a power trip! A standard RS 300 hp has never missed the performance, but stopped quickly Specialist Ford, Graham Goode Racing, turn the heat on the flagship of the Focus hatch blue oval. We drove the RS340 GGR in September, slightly heated, but it is now time, his big brother, the white-hot 175 mph GGR RS370FR to fight against the ...

Mechanical changes are far broader than just the ECU RS340 is new to you, even if the block is the same 2.5-liter turbo engine. A new intake of carbon air injectors big, big intercooler and all the material help, more fuel into the cylinder while the exhaust of large caliber and another ECU remap complete the changes. The result is a juicy 368bhp and 460nm of torque, and how the car works, everything is managed by the front tires.

In the interest of safety, Graham Goode Racing also offers an optional package AP Racing front brake. For £ 2294 you can replace the cap on the front with more than 362mm grooved discs, calipers clamping either black or bright red.

Graham Goode emphasizes that this (highway vehicles, therefore, the RF "in the self-title), not just a title tag is something special. And she probably lives up to its name. It n 'There is no formal 60 mph or 0-time, although acceleration of the line looks like the standard car, but once on his feet, gobsmacking performance in motion. We hit 160 mph on a test track closed and the car was still difficult to establish. Fortunately, the brakes upgrade wiped is the speed at ease - even if we badly pushed to spend recommend if you tiime much on track.

In the corners, has the same setting and attitude, as the RS stock, but avoid the sparing use of the butterfly is to turn the front tires and understeer called your path. As the couple RS340 GGR beef is inevitable, but it is much cheaper than you that you would essentially be expected to first wheel drive supercar. Our only regret is that the induction of additional noise from the standard model has a fantastic hidden five trill cylinder.

Rival: Subaru Impreza STI 330S
The fastest model of the Japanese company has officially offered the advantage 4WD Drive - Drop it's 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds. Wave steering is our only quibble on what is undoubtedly the best Subaru Impreza now.
