The Volkswagen Tiguan was launched in late 2007 and has been very popular with the world of motoring, selling over 700,000 cars worldwide to date. I had one of these cars for a short period of time, and although it was a good car, there were some things that didn't quite float my boat.

The model i had was the 2.0 TDI with a 6 speed automatic gearbox. Yes it was economical, averaging about 43 mpg (if you're careful) and the driving position was very good, the steering was light and the space inside was more than adequate. That is, apart from the boot. The boot isn't small, but if you're in a wheelchair, you will really struggle getting it in. This is because the lower lip on the boot is so high, you would need a crane to get your chair in.


Then there is the ride and comfort. The car i had was so unbelievably firm, you could ride over marshmallow and have a jolt to the spine. Now before i continue on this, i must point out that there are 3 different specifications for the Tiguan: Trend and Fun, Sport and Style and Track and Field. So which to chose from? Well, unless you live in the middle of a swamp, the Track and Field spec is out of the picture, although this has "comfort seats" with adjustable lumbar support. Sport and Style comes with 17inch alloy wheels and lower profile tyres, so the ride is stiffer than the Track and Field spec, although this option does come with a load of goodies such as tinted windows, under-seat draws and a folding table in the back.

So that just leaves Trend and Fun. This is known as the "entry level" in Tiguan specifications. It comes with traction control, electric windows and an electronic handbrake (which i never trusted!) Yes the light came on, but im suppose to park my car on a hill and trust that it will be safe, because the light it on? But all round, this would be the spec i would go for. Easy to drive, easy to park and easy to live with.

The Ford Maverick XLT, or the Escape in America, was first launched in the UK in 2001 and was a collaboration between Ford and Mazda, with Mazda launching the Tribute at the same time.

The Maverick was intended to replace the previous UK Maverick and Nissan Terrano II with two engines available to chose from. A 2 litre Zetec manual and a 3 litre V6 automatic. Both cars are All Wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, and while most of the power from the engine is sent to the front wheels, if traction is lost, more power is automatically sent to the rear.

While the 3 litre V6 is certainly more of a gas-guzzler, it is by far the best engine out of the two available, although the gear ratios are something to be desired, having only 4 normal gears, and 2 low range.

As for off-roading? Well it would seem that Ford had decided for us that we didn't want to drive this car on anything beyond lose gravel, and even though it does handle reasonably well in our "Arctic" winters, i wouldn't want to tow a caravan with it over a frozen lake!

So why, you ask, do i own one? Well, i am a wheelchair user, and for me, power and off-road ability is not that important for me. What is important for me, is space and comfort. All of which this car has in abundance. And although it has solid rear axles  designed for carrying heavy loads, it is still remarkably comfortable and the boot is more than big enough for a wheelchair.

Safety equipment features are driver, passenger (and optional, but recommended)
 side impact air bags. Stiff anti-roll bars, allowing some lean
when going round corners, but no risk of rolling,
unless going round a hair-pin at 80mph! 

The ignition key has a chip inbedded into it, which the car reads when the key is inserted. If the car fails to read this chip, the car will not start, even if the key has been cut to exactly match the original. Due to this, the Maverick/Escape has some of the
lowest reported thefts in its class.

For those of you who are looking for a car to take to the top of Snowdon, then i might suggest going for a Range Rover. But if the only off-roading you will ever be doing is parking on the beach, then this will do the trick just nicely.

BMW Zagato collaboration with Aston Martin and Zagato V12 comes with a very impressive supercar. But this year, the Italian design company changed direction and worked with BMW to provide Coupe Zagato equally fabulous.

While BMW's design ethos is perhaps best known for aggressive surface-fire language, takes a decidedly different approach Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este this weekend when it launched Coupé Zagato concept.

Summing must be based on the current Z4, Coupé Zagato was coachbuilt by famous design studio Milan to Kamm-tailed swoopy prototype you see here. Word on the shores of Lake Italy is that, along with a new form, BMW has also increased its output to 400 horsepower coupe - possibly from the 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six that produces 340 horsepower.


BMW Coupe Zagato combines design cues from both companies and have been entirely hand built. You will see that very long hood is definitely an element of the BMW, but the radiator grille and headlights have certainly received treatment Zagato. This car has a very cool cat Rosso Vivace ranging from something close to brilliant red to black depending on the light

Viewed from the front, the new Zagato Coupe is definitely a stunning interpretation of the classic BMW look. It has twin circular lamps, grille kidney-shaped radiator, and BMW logo, and a pair of air intakes used to cool the machine down. BMW radiator grille is traditional, however, have received treatment Zagato. Frame kidney matte Buckmister inspired by Fuller's geodesic structure and being that it is created by Zagato, it gets a "Z" letter to the kidney grille.

Perfect hood continued to double-bubble roof as the body lines continue toward the back of the car, the design lines signed by Zagato. The back also has been designed in a traditional style 2 seater Zagato, while adopting the hip classic lines BMW Roadster.

Side air vents mimic the shape of the intake hood and extend dynamic agenda for the sides of the car, while developing strong over the rear wheels raised and endorsed by spoiler, inject the entire area with an additional dynamic impetus.

The rear of the car has the clearest evidence of the influence of this Zagato: it was formed almost without a single joint and offering a strong, sturdy and language design goals. A transparent panel is divided into three sections offer a more sporty Coupe Zagato. For even more powerful stance, rear bumper protruding lower feed into the diffuser.

Coupe Zagato is the final element of their impressive 19-inch light-alloy wheels in five-spoke design classic sporty.

Interior BMW Coupe Zagato is structured by BMW, while Zagato designed a concept exclusive to the color and material concepts. The horizontal line on the instrument panel and doors are all fitted with hand and fits perfectly with the exclusive leather trim with light and dark gray. The instrument panel, doors and seats received a red decorative stitching to match the exterior paint cars, and the letter "Z" has been embroidered into the seats.

We have learned that the engine pumps out rather impressive-to-size-400 horsepower, but that's not even the most remarkable.

The most impressive part of this concept Zagato is not power or looks amazing. What drew us in was impressive sound. This beast does not sound like your typical, BMW convenient. This really sounds like a race car race just looking for a little asphalt to lay some rubber vulcanized on. We are now able to share this with your voice, thanks to the Concorso d'Eleganza video of Villa d'Este this fantastic Bimmer judge rolled into the red mat.

Only a few years after the launch of the Panamera Turbo, Porsche Turbo S has been added to the lineup with a squeeze another 50 hp from 4.8 liters awesome, twin-turbo V-8. This model is not exactly a surprise: The Panamera V-8 engines shared with the Cayenne and Cayenne last generation is offered with a 550-hp variations.

From ultra luxury to ultra performance, the 2012 Porsche Panamera is the "everything to everybody" sedan.Impressive cornering ability; engine choices from willing to thrilling; high fuel economy of Hybrid model; comfortable ride; beautiful cabin quality.

Panamera is big and heavy car, but it shines as it thunders on the road at real speed. Modified engine management and turbocharger enables an increase in titanium aluminum is 550 hp and 553 pounds-ft of torque, up from 516 for the regular Turbo. The chassis is "Sport" and "Sport Plus" mode, overboost function increases the twist to £ 590 ft-wild. Turbo can regularly raise the already-impressive 568 pounds-ft below the overboost, which is accessed by paying for Sport Chrono package. This package is standard in the Turbo S.

Added power translates into a performance you do not need to complain about: Porsche says 60 mph can be achieved in 3.6 seconds, but we used to clock the 3.3 Turbo. Picture a tenth or two faster than that, thanks largely to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, which includes the launch-control function. This is the only transmission available. The company claims a top speed of 190 mph, but based on our testing, real-world figure will be higher around 5 mph. If you are concerned, Porsche does not have a final rating of the fuel economy, but it said they would approach the Turbo city / highway numbers of 15/23 mpg.

No major changes are made to the chassis, which can be considered very competent even among high-performance sedan, but rear track has been enlarged with a specific 20-inch wheels II Turbo. Europeans have the option of low-rolling resistance tires 19-inch wheels, which increases the efficiency-rah!

Little performance improvement comes at a premium that is not too little. Porsche is requesting cool $ 174,175, as opposed to the $ 136,275 needed for the Panamera Turbo. For the money, you get some performance options as standard Turbo (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Sport Chrono, etc.), and side skirts of the bin "Porsche Exclusive" section and the selection of specific color combinations. Agate gray metallic exclusive to the Panamera Turbo S, and inside there are two colors combos-black/cream and agate gray / cream that you can not get on any other Panamera. We predict the color choices will prove to be very popular among customers Turbo S, which will be eager to show their friends what they had for an additional $ 38k.


Drawbacks are few. The Panamera can only provide four people, though these people can be full-sized parents and may discover a higher satisfaction in any hold. Solutions are quite highly-priced, giving the cost skyward quickly, but that's par for the course for motors in this part, and isn't likely to prevent this Porsche's abundant class. The Panamera's alternative appearance will likely be the real picture for many people.


In conditions of rivalry the  Maserati Quattroporte, Jaguar XJ, BMW 7 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class are all ought to have thought. Among this substantial number of extravagance motors, there really isn't a loss in the number. The 2012 Porsche Panamera, however, is our select for a car that offers more of everything to everybody.

Porsche Panamera first year is completed and initial doubts about the future has been laid to rest. First, is the "real" Porsche, and second, it's also a real success. Not only has the Panamera to be a critical success but also has proven himself a successful sale. We think this award is well-founded, as we rank 2011 Porsche Panamera sedan is very high among mewah.Jika you're a fan of the style or not, the 2011 Porsche Panamera is a serious part of the engine, and perfected as well. And last year a series of models are more fuel efficient - and easier. What do you mean? Well, the new V-6 version, bringing the entry price of $ 74,400, which is very reasonably priced sedan with sports management, German engineer and design avant-garde.

While it is easy to dispose of the Panamera four-door coupe is a growing segment with the likes of Aston Martin Rapide and Mercedes-Benz CLS, Porsche has a four-door coupe, but the real "Gran Turismo" full of awesome power and plenty of space for four measures full of adults.

Yes, even the V-6 models offer excellent performance. 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque on the board, the Rocket V-6 Panamera going 60 mph in 6.0 seconds from the other. Opt for extra grip and 4-wheel drive Panamera and you will see that figure dropped to 5.8 seconds.

The story does not end here so you can shave off 0.2 seconds the second time with the addition of Sport Chrono Package Plus, which is suitable for dual-clutch PDK gearbox among other upgrades. The maximum speed is 160 mph and 159 mph from the base Panamera Panamera 4

But if the budget allows, we recommend going with the V-8 model, preferably Turbo. 2011 Porsche Panamera to model for amateur and Porschephiles right and keep tracking dog Panamera S with a 4.8-liter V-8 engine and 400 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, or Turbo that gets a twin-turbo engine and the power of 500 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

Panamera S and 4S coupe to 60 mph times, either 5.2 or 4.8 seconds (better traction 4S trial the screen), while the turbo charged 60 mph 4.0 seconds or less. Please note, if this is not quite new Panamera Turbo S with 550 horsepower and 553 pound giant-feet of torque was introduced in 2012 model year.

A variety of options and upgrades available Panamera range, although the standard equipment includes power moonroof, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity and iPod / USB audio interface standard Porsche Communication Management infotainment / navigation system.

Updates to 2012 Toyota Tacoma to help maintain the top position in kelasnya.Tacoma will be updated styling inside and out, plus a few new high-tech entertainment features.
2012 Toyota Tacoma

Reputation for solid build quality and excellent reliability are also putting a lot of Tacoma is equivalent to a full-size competitors. For 2012, Tacoma was also seen in the arena to take the lead in electronic cars, Toyota Entune add new services to the list of options. This includes Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, HD radio, satellite radio, text / e-mail reading, and iHeartRadio Pandora streaming, and real-time traffic info (among others). If all that was not enough, the price tag significantly lower than those big trucks have helped seal the deal.



The 2012 Toyota Tacoma is also better than some competitors left in the middle segment of the pickup. Honda Ridgeline is an interesting choice of cleverly designed for personal use, but do not have a lot of pick-up burliness buyers demand. Ford and Dodge had withdrawn from the entry segment and the GM was so underwhelming at the time they might as well head for the exit as well. That leaves the Nissan Frontier because the only serious competition Tacoma. Frontier is equally capable trucks and muscular-looking, but the interior is not as extensive or subtle. Add all of them and Toyota Tacoma pick-up is one of quite a few interesting media to give either the name of downsizing.

Test driver said that the X-Runner trim, Tacoma is by far the sportiest compact pickup truck. When equipped with the TRD off-road package, is very capable when taken off-road, and on-road handling is not bad. But the review such as brakes, which feel soft and mushy, and they universally pan a small jump seat behind the Access Cab.


Buyers who do not plan to haul heavy loads or towing and try to save money out the door will find a 2.7-liter four-cylinder option is acceptable. However, it's not particularly fuel efficient than the V6 brawnier, which is the better choice for both work and play thanks to an abundance of low-range attraction. We think it's definitely worth the extra money.

Toyota calls it a "full-city study of hybrid cars," so the FT-Bh is not destined for production. However, Toyota's goal is to create a Runabout, fuel-efficient low-cost urban areas that do not rely on expensive materials or complex manufacturing, but rather to use existing technology to make the hybrid affordable to the masses - something that would be suitable for Europe.

The new Toyota RAV4 of 2012 is of a modern Crossover all models for 2012, the Toyota RAV4 remains one of the better choices on family size for daily transport and needs. But looking at the appearance of a conservative, traditional, faux-rugged SUV, you might not expect that at all.

Although the new Toyota RAV 2012 but there is no change in the audio features of the new touchscreen interface is available and the suite of Internet-streaming Toyota Entune teknologi.Sistem sound has been completely revamped, and all models now include Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. Audio system with new display, Bluetooth music streaming are included, while the Limited model with the HD Radio iTunes tagging, text-to-voice capability, and XM satellite radio added. Also covered are the Toyota Entune suite of services, with a variety of data services and applications such as Pandora streaming.

In 2012, the Toyota RAV4 crossover SUV is offered in three trim levels: base, Sport and Limited. Five seats are standard, but the Limited can be had with an optional third row that can contain an extra set of children.

Although the RAV4 does not look modern in appearance, it is entirely up to rival the class in performance. Base 179-horsepower, 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine smooth and responsive and has enough power to keep most drivers happy, while the 269-hp, 3.5 liter V-6 is optional and thus, have the ability to sprint with a hot rod-like authority or perform amazing fleeting. All RAV4 models come with, Äîfour speed automatic transmission with four-cylinder, five speed with V-6. In both cases, the RAV4 is offered with either front or four wheel. Optional AWD system uses electronic control to send power to the rear when slippage is detected ahead, and offer the 50/50 is still divided with 4WD Lock mode.

Antilock disc brakes, stability control, traction control, whiplash-reducing front headrests, front seat side airbags and full length curtain side airbags are standard on every 2012 Toyota RAV4. Vehicles equipped with a V6 and / or optional third-row seats also come with hill-start assist and hill-descent control.

In Edmunds brake testing, four-cylinder RAV4 stop from 60 mph in 125 feet - the average distance to the compact crossover.

Interior RAV4 offers a clean design with large, simple controls and plenty of storage space. Overall interior quality is acceptable, but most competitors are now making RAV interior look too substantial and budget oriented. Some rivals also come with additional standard equipment.

However, the Toyota RAV4 is a model of practicality. The rear reclining chairs and can be slid forward and back to optimize passenger space or cargo capacity. Normal seating capacity is five, while the optional third-row seats to seven lumps. Although the seat is intended only for children, at least strong enough and wide for them.

To configure the RAV4 for cargo, all you need to do is flip a lever in the cargo area second-row seats to fold flat. Honda now offers this feature in its CR-V, but in the process, lose the ability to slide the second row of the front and rear - the ability RAV4 continues to offer. With all seats down, there is an impressive 73 cubic feet of cargo capacity. The load floor is also quite low for this class, which minimizes the tension loading groceries a week or ease the dog to climb aboard. However, Toyota rear door can be an inconvenience when you park on the street, because it has a hinge on the right side, the opposite of what you want for the loading side of the road in the United States.

In government crash testing, the RAV4 received an overall score of three stars (of five). It got three stars for overall frontal crash protection and four stars for side crash protection as a whole. In crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, RAV4 ranked at the top "Good" in both frontal-offset and side impact crash tests. It achieved the second best ratings of "Acceptable" on roof strength test.
