Nissan Juke Reviews - When I first saw this car, it is reasonable implicit feeling that the design of the Juke looks "weird". The design was created by Nissan Design Europe based in London, England, which was then cured by Nissan Design Center in Japan.

Since its launch in 2011 ago, Nissan Juke getting a pretty good response. Although the pros and cons arise, Nissan Juke at that time can be said to make a breakthrough, both in terms of design and functionality and then put on the Juke compact crossover class, which is not spelled out many of the players. Now, the competition in the classroom has increased and Juke must also increase the value of sales in order to continue to compete.

However, in its home country, Japan, the Juke does give an incredible surprise for Nissan. Crossover is claimed to have scored booking up to 20,000 units, within four months after launch . That figure is far beyond the expectations of Nissan that only target of 1,300 units per month. In other parts of the world, Europe, Juke booking record 30,000 units for the same period. Of course the presence of Nissan Juke in the SUV class will be a competition with Honda HR-V.

Some of our colleagues call 'Joker face' (similar face the Joker character in the Batman comic series). Blend grille and large fender and wide as it is actually not new to Nissan. Nissan Murano, whose presence also makes the pros and cons regarding the design of his face, embrace the aura of a similar design.

Beneath the bonnet, stored cardiac pacemaker of the HR family of engines, similar to those used Nissan Livina. Depot power that carries the code berkonfigrasi HR15DE 4-cylinder and a 1.5 liter (1498 cc). Even so, the power generated is greater than the Livina, namely 112 hp versus 108 hp. The advantages derived from the dual CVTC (continuous variable lift and timing control) plus dual injectors per cylinder.

Power is then channeled to the front wheels via the transmission X-tronic 7-speed CVT. Interestingly, there are three driving options: Normal, Sport and Eco. Each driving mode will set the level of responsiveness of the engine and gear accuracy.

the interior looks decent and tend to be conventional. The most interesting forms visible from the center console storage area is equipped with attractive design. It looked like a motorcycle tank. And that's exactly what inspired the Nissan designers when creating it.

Behind it all, pinned sophisticated system called I-CON (integrated control system). I-CON is represented in the center of the dashboard where there are only two main keys to adjust the temperature and driving, as well as six other buttons around the screen indicators.

When the 'climate' is pressed, the screen and buttons around the screen will change to the setting AC. And the screen displays information about the temperature of the AC. However, if the 'D-Mode' is pressed, the buttons will change to the settings button driving such as Sport, Normal, Eco. Automatically Similarly, the screen will display information appropriate driving mode.

The other thing is the system 'WiFi Ready' which allows passengers to surf in cyberspace if it is close to the 'hot spot'. Internet is displayed on the head unit with touch screen which, oddly enough, can not play the CD. Instead, there is a socket 'aux' and of course a USB socket for an iPod or other USB devices. Additionally, the head unit also has Bluetooth capability and 'voice command'.

Steering wheel wrapped in leather, with the diameter and thickness good grip. The main cluster is easy to read, as well as indikatiornya panel, despite the activation button MID (multi information display) slightly obstructed by the cover (cover) the wheel house.

Upholstery material wrapped fabric feels rather hard, especially on the back. This makes the rider will feel tired. In addition, the seat height lever to dip difficult to achieve, especially if the door is closed. However, the seat is flexible enough to ditegak-lay, so that the driver easily get the right seating position.

The comfort of the cabin air is maintained thanks to the 'climate control'. However, the position of the ventilation is too close to the steering wheel, making the driver's left hand is always exposed to a puff of air conditioning, although its direction has been changed. It does not matter if the air is hot, but after a long time to make uncomfortable and disturbing, especially at night cold.

Sport mode will be programmed so that the engine and transmission ECU behave aggressively. Second, the Normal mode, in which the engine and transmission settings rather moderate. Lastly ie ECO, in which the engine and transmission ECU ordered behave more 'polite' to save fuel.

And the Sport mode is the best. Therefore, with this mode Juke shows a different character. In Normal mode, the performance of Juke a little less bite, especially in Eco mode. And the test data to prove it.

In Sport mode, the Juke is able to run from 0-100 kph in 12.2 seconds. While in Normal mode, there were 12.8 seconds, and in Eco mode dropped to 13.2 seconds. As at medium acceleration,

Incise Juke 30-50 kph in 1.9 seconds, and 50-70 kph in 2.5 seconds. Compare with Normal mode that records a slower time of 0.4 seconds and 0.6 seconds slower Eco for the second acceleration.

despite the Sport mode is better than the other models, the Juke is fairly slow to reach speeds maskimum. Evidently, a time of 0-160 kph in 43.9 seconds and the speedometer needle just stuck at 170 kph. Indeed, the needle can still ride, it's just slow movements and the engine is roaring at redline.

In the overtaking acceleration, about 0-60 kph, Juke recorded 5.5 seconds. Likewise the increase in record time from zero to a step 10 kph with a count of less than one second. Deceleration devices are also not disappoint. To 80-0 kph, Juke stop in 2.6 seconds with a distance of 26.6 meter.

Besides distributing the power, the transmission contributed driving comfort. When the gear shift, you will not find pause or buffeting. Value more than the pleasure of driving is also obtained from electronic power steering device, which automatically feels heavier, as rising speed of the car. These conditions make the driver more confidence.

Unfortunately, the suspension is fairly hard to crossover. Apparently, 55% tire profile, the soles of 215 mm and a diameter of 17 inches, feels too thin to dampen the reflection of the car. However, there is a plus of mounting the wheels and the soles of sufficient width, which in turn widens the control Juke highly qualified.

Symptoms can be muted with body roll well thanks to the design of the upper body are connected with suspension mounting. Unfortunately, when you are on the track outside the city full of bumpy roads and patchy, articulation Juke somewhat decreased. The car seemed to lose his breath drove better.

well, that's Nissan Juke Reviews from me, hopefully useful.

BMW X3 Review

BMW X3 Review- After writing an article about BMW 2, I will discuss an article about BMW X3 Mid-SUV X3 is the first BMW released. Emerging X3 first time in 2004, apparently did not attract much attention, even though it was his brother, X5, success in the market, as well as win the heart of the community.

However, the nightmare of the old X3 now seemed relieved after BMW launched the all-new BMW X3 its form better looking, not rigid, modern, and are larger in size. Not only that, BMW claims that the performance of the second generation X3 is also much better than it replaces.

As mentioned earlier, mid-SUV X3 is the first BMW designed and assembled at Magna-Steyr plant in Austria. However, for this second generation BMW X3 assemble at their plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States, along with other BMW X-Series.

Design BMW X3 Review

With its new design, the X3 F25 platform that carries the code now looks lower than before, despite the fact remains the same ground clearance. It is derived from the design of a more sloping roofline, a more dynamic side, plus larger than before, that is 83 mm longer and 28 mm wider.

the reason is simple: the presence of the BMW X1 whose dimensions are not much different from the first-generation BMW X3. Finally, to emphasize the difference in class, the BMW X3 now widen a length almost equal to the first-generation BMW X5 (X5 X3 4648 mm versus 4666 mm). Interestingly, BMW X3 diesel did not gain weight. Compared to first-generation diesel version, X3 Diesel is even lighter 25 kg.

BMW immerse diesel engine capacity of 1,995 cc for X3. Like a modern diesel engine with turbo geometry varible, although the capacity is small, but the torque reaches 380 Nm issued which began appearing in the round of 1750-2750 rpm, with a maximum power of 135 hp at 4,000 rpm. Common rail system with Piezo injectors are also used to spray diesel fuel into the combustion chamber in precision with a maximum pressure of 1,800 bar. And that's a recipe for getting a qualified diesel performance.

BMW X3 is able to produce a 0-100 kph acceleration that is good enough only 10.1 seconds. However, at low speed, such as below 1,500 rpm, the X3 feels underpowered. However, when the torque reached at 1,750 rpm, the engine though never losing breath until the needle reaches RPM redline at 4,500 rpm range.

Agility X3 is also remarkably felt in the middle rounds. Overtake the current acceleration that feels qualified to make us confident to shimmy between traffic density inside or outside the city. When measured, the acceleration in the speed of 60-80 kph, the average overtake performed at such speeds, can be achieved in just 2.3 seconds.

8-speed transmission feels quite soft and move on without pause. Although it had confused what exactly to 8th gear in this car, but after walking away with a fairly constant speed, the transmission also contributes iritnya fuel consumption. And when needed for acceleration, the transmission is able to respond accurately without excessive engine speed disturbing.

On the dashboard, the meter cluster has the letters and needles sporty character. Even though it looks ordinary but the neatness and functionality is maintained. The center console is wide, was furthered distance as between the front passenger and driver. High seating position provides easy access and meniciptakan wide field of view.

Jaguar XF 2.0 Review

pict Jaguar XF 2.0 Review by www.caradvice.com.au

Jaguar XF 2.0 Review - hi guys, long time no see, in this article I will write about the Jaguar XF 2.0 review. Jaguar XF was first launched in 2007. The first generation XF looks very interesting with surprising interior with AC grid and the transmission button that seems to dance when the car in turn. The exterior is no less interesting. Coupe like design makes it look very different from its competitors, the Mercedes-Benz C250 Exclusive.

Jaguar XF latest claim better than its predecessor, at the same time have a lot of weapons to challenge Mercedes-Benz C250 Exclusive. So, this is one of the reasons I am a fan of the jaguar to make a Jaguar XF Review.

In the slide-show presentation, noted that of the 3,194 parts-owned Jaguar XF 2016, there were no less than 2,669 parts are completely new (up 83 percent). A quarter share with the Jaguar XE.

Latest Jaguar XF claimed to be lighter, more efficient and more technologically than its predecessor. The key is the use of the iQ platform (aluminum). This platform is also used by Jaguar XE and F-Pace - means the latest XF 190 kg lighter than the old model. With body panels weighing 181 kg, this car weighs only 1,455 kg.

In a measure of human weight, 190 kg did not feel too great. But in the field of automobile engineering, 1 kg weight reduction alone can boost the performance of the car significantly. Especially if pruning is done weights up to 190 kg. Supposing like moving the three passengers of the car cabin. Jaguar complete with increase the 'stickiness' of up to 28 percent of the car's structure.

There are four engines available for the latest Jaguar XF. You can choose the 2.0-liter diesel engine-powered 163 hp or 180 hp, 3.0-liter TDV6 diesel engine-powered 300 hp and a V6 gasoline engine-powered 380 hp maximum. Diesel and gasoline engine 2.0-liter paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic. 3.0-liter engine paired with eight-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose four levels of trim: Prestige, R-Sport, Portfolio and S. All are equipped with Touch InControl system, 10.2-inch touch screen, navigation and voice control.


Jaguar XF 2.0 Review on Road Test

After the explanation is done, come for us to drive a New Jaguar XF 2016. The first type we tested is the All New Jaguar XF 2.0 diesel. When looking at the latest Jaguar XF for the first time, frankly I love it. The form is a synthesis of a cat of prey, although they look similar to the design of its predecessor. Jaguar XF also shrinking than the previous generation. Shorter dimensions 7 mm, 3 mm lower, although a longer wheel axis distance 51 mm.

pict Jaguar XF 2.0 Review by www.caradvice.com.au

A rear-seat passengers quite comfortably with legroom and knee space wider than the previous generation. As a result, increased leg room 15 mm, 24 mm increased knee room and headroom increased 27 mm. Interestingly, although the rear is greater, but the overall design is shrinking 7 mm. This occurs due to the 66 mm front overhang pushed back toward the front axle by 66 mm.

Turning to the interior. Now, more luxurious interior. BMW nuanced his dashboard with a layer of high-grade materials become bait for enthusiasts of excellence and high taste. Uniquely, the inside doors / trim made curved as if reinforced with chrome accents / metal. There is a 12.3-inch TFT screen on the instrument panel and a touch screen in the middle of the dashboard measuring 10.2 inches.

pict Jaguar XF 2.0 Review by www.caradvice.com.au

As a luxury car, the sound system was made attractive. Jaguar's latest XF has 17 speakers and audio systems Meridian-powered 825 W, quad-core processing power and the cabin materials combined with suede leather.

Moving to the machinery sector. Behind the bonnet lies a 2.0 liter turbo engine-powered Ingenium maximum of 177 hp at 4,000 rpm. The maximum torque of 428 Nm at 1750-2500 rpm. The resulting power was not exactly aggressive for an executive sedan with coupe design. However, the torque of the engine, makes the XF mighty engine on lap down, but still feels less passionate when it accelerates.

Eight-speed transmission with gears meetings, deliver power and torque to the rear wheels with a fine. It also makes performance on the lap top was perfect. Driving over smooth roads really enhance the potential of the Jaguar XF. but what if used in the streets of the capital? Certainly not yet definitely presents a similar sensation.

On the road to the circuit, car body control was measured. Feels like controlling the car smaller and lighter than the German cars in its class. Applications 20-inch alloy wheels and double-wishbone suspension (front) as well as the integral link (behind) completely fulfill his promise to give good feedback.

How the wheel? Well, this is interesting. Have you ever felt the power steering with hydraulic system? In the sports cars antiquity, this system been able to give the best feedback for the driver. In the Jaguar XF, equipped with electric power steering feels light but lively, XF really feels like the best use hydraulic power steering, so it gives a sense on the feedback as a driver's car.

The advantages of the light weight of the car and approached the distribution of 50/50 front to rear is also sticking. As a result, the elongation axle does not affect the agility of the car when swerving and small street in Pamplona.

Unfortunately, this car is not without drawbacks. The main drawback I feel is the roar of a diesel engine that is somehow able to infiltrate freely into the cabin. Although for some consumers it will be doping for driving sensation. But for me it is quite disturbing. At least, Jaguar still have extra work to perfect it.

Well, that's about the review from me, thank you for reading Jaguar XF 2.0 review.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Review

Mercedes-Benz GLC Review - Mercedes-Benz certainly hopes there will be success in behind the replacement of the name. After GLA-Class is based on the A-Class, now the latest is the GLC-Class, C-Class-based SUV that is expected to follow the success of the German manufacturer's best-selling sedan. GLC actually this is the latest generation of the GLK-Class, but Mercedes Benz GLC renamed apart because based C-Class also because it will now be available right wheel models.

Indeed, the first generation GLK, Stuttgart manufacturer only provides the only option left wheel. Now, Mercedes admits the growth trend of the higher SUV in the world to make them wake up to give birth to GLC with the steering wheel right and left.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Review Interior and Eksterior 


pict Mercedes-Benz GLC Review from /www.mbusa.com

GLC-Class is indeed adopting MRA platform (Modular Rear Architecture) similar to the C-Class, but thanks to the modifications made, GLC has a wheelbase 33 mm longer than the C-Class.
Mercedes did admit if GLC is the answer to the BMW X3 and Audi Q5, so that the dimensions similar to X3 and Q5. However, when compared with the competitors weigh, GLC is still superior to about 1 mm long, 9 mm wider and 21 mm lower than the X3, which is 4,656 x 1,890 x 1,639 mm.
Although the dimensions GLC is also larger than its predecessor, Mercedes said that if the GLC has a weight of 80 kg lighter than the GLK. It is obtained from the use of a mixture of high-strength steel in the body structure with aluminum on the front wings, bonnet and roof.

Mercedes says the second generation of the GLK has combined elements of toughness G-Class with sporty aura belonging to the C-Class. Shapes and curves of the GLC is different from its predecessor, the GLK. He no longer boxy and stiff like the GLK and the G-Class. GLC sculpted with a lot of curves that make the body more modern and beautiful to look at. GLC also supported a good level of aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of wind that just 0.31 cd.

Front view implies latest design language of Mercedes-Benz. Short overhangs, combined with a compact and high double crossbar grille flanked the Mercedes-Benz star logo. Glance is the same as the C-Class, ranging from the shape of the grille, headlamps including DRL shape to form the bumper and airdam. Only, the GLC can adjust the shape of the bumper trim options you choose. Shifted to the side, the new apparent difference if GLC is an SUV with a ground clearance of 181 mm. Besides greenhouse GLC barely resemble the look of a coupe. Behind the display has a character that is wide and muscular SUV with a bumper choice that also vary the same as the front.

Changing the Mercedes design paradigm not only for external appearance only. GLC also recently received significant changes in the interior. Entry into the cabin, immediately felt like getting into the cabin of the C-Class last generation. Its layout is exactly the same as the close relative. A key element of the interior design is on the dashboard and center console form a series of line that flows from the center air vents to the armrest. In addition, the innovative touchpad typical Mercedes-Benz has been developed so as to enter letters or numbers by finger movement, like the touch screen on a smartphone. While screen media viewer that is integrated with the touchpad is positioned on the center console.

A feeling of space and relief greeted me upon entry into the cabin which is supported by the panoramic roof. As a sitting position on the GLC SUV higher than his brother C-Class. But the aura of luxury and elegance radiates from the selection of premium quality materials, such as nappa leather upholstery with wood trim and metallic berlabur AC holes. From Interior and exterior of the Mercedes-Benz GLC review, can I conclude that all this is presented for the sake of presenting a driving pleasure without compromising the aesthetic beauty.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Review Performance

Mercedes-Benz has been providing three engine options for tasting by journalists. Two 4-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 2.1 liter turbo and a 4-cylinder gasoline engine 2.0-liter turbo. GLC 220d has a power of 170 hp with a torque of 400 Nm, then GLC 250D with a maximum power of 204 hp and torque of 500 Nm. The latter is the GLC 250 petrol engine capable of throwing power of 211 hp and torque of 350 Nm.

All these variants are offered with four-wheel drive (AWD) or 4 MATIC permanent. To drive all four wheels, the Stuttgart manufacturer is pinning latest automatic transmission, 9G-TRONIC. 9-speed transmission is they claim to have fuel efficiency is very good.

2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine turns on without making a sound that means, the car drove without stamping thanks to the 9-speed transmission that presents the latest gear shift very smooth. To accelerate, GLC 250 4MATIC the test unit I was quite responsive.

Ride and Handling Mercedes-Benz GLC Review

FYI, I am trying GLC is equipped with various advanced technologies that help the driver, especially in terms of driving safety. Ranging from Water Body Control, this is the first SUV in this segment are adopting technology multi-chamber air suspension. Combined with the Adaptive Damping System Plus (ADS Plus) GLC deliver a stable ride and agility with optimized comfort levels.
Air Conditioning Body Control suspension is presenting works in conjunction with Dynamic driving mode Select typical Mercedes. The suspension system will automatically adjust the level of rigidity and flexibility of the suspension according to the driving mode you select. Dynamic Select the GLC offers five driving modes, Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport + and Individual. The same is true for ADS Plus, where the computer will choose the best damping characteristics are automatically fit the contour of the road surface.

There are still many technological sophistication of this medium SUV. The most caught my attention is the Distronic Plus system. At first I thought this is the cruise control system is the same as any other cruise control has been many times I try. However Distronic Plus is much more sophisticated, according to Rainer Tiefenbacher as GLC Development is the same as the Autonomous technology. Because the system is coupled with Steer Control and Stop & Go Pilot so that not only keep pace car driver's liking, but also be able to follow the speed of the car in front of him even in heavy traffic conditions (stop-and-go).

The success of Mercedes Benz with the change of name of the entire line-up of SUVs they seem to be gain success, starting from GLC that seemed to be able to follow the success of his C-Class. Maybe not all of the owners of this GLC will test their cars in the same way as this, but knowing the true power of this GLC produces a perfect symbiosis, according to the characteristics of the three countries that I browse. Mercedes-Benz GLC has the character of an efficient state like Switzerland, loaded with advanced technology typical of Germany and makes you enjoy life with joy style of French society.
Okay, it was a Mercedes-Benz GLC review from me, hopefully enough to help you

BMW 2-series Active Tourer Review, First Drive and Pictures

BMW 2-series Active Tourer Review, First Drive and Pictures - First Drive BMW 218i Active Tourer - Porsche had once said would not make diesel cars, but in fact there is now. Ferrari also said that a decade ago would never produce a car of more than 5,000 units per year and now they are nearly touching twice that number. And then, BMW who for many years have the confidence to not make a car with front-wheel drive, however ...

In fact, now we sampled BMW 2-series Active Tourer, the first car manufacturer Bavaria which uses front-wheel drive. It is actually not uncommon for a car manufacturer, everything is necessarily concerned with making money. So is the case with BMW, when they see a huge market potential it gives birth to new species to achieve it.

Actually this is not a 'sin' for BMW, but a breakthrough that proves if BMW serious to attract new customers. Yes, because it is so staring a front view of Active Tourer you immediately imagine a BMW car in general. Call it a distinctive kidney grille, headlamp bulbs lengthwise with two dots and their projectors 'Angel Eyes' typical of BMW, and the front bumper BMW-style dynamic. From the side, it is like seeing a car Japanese or Korean cars are designed by Europeans are decorated by five-spoke alloy two-tone 17-inch. Maybe for the purist, the design is not too lifeless beside the BMW and more suitable for older people.

But the hopes of carrying the name BMW Active Tourer is that the car is capable of targeting new customers who have an active lifestyle who want spacious interior, versatility and carrying capacity are adequate. Typical BMW dashboard panel comes with a high gloss black and high quality leather. In it embedded 6.5-inch screen capable of displaying multimedia content, system Connected Drive, Bluetooth, Audio CD, there is even a special docking your iPhone in the center console. Its meet our expectations will be a BMW car.

For the front seats, both driver and passengers have full electrical with memory. As a family car, the focus is on the second line. Here the BMW Active Tourer shows already as good as what she was designed as a family car by BMW. When trying to sit up, leg room capacity of this car is one of the best ever given BMW, even resembling the second line 7-Series. Besides relief, 40:20:40 seat configuration also makes it practical and flexible, and since the beginning of the back cabin designed to accommodate three people.

When the door opened luggage trunk floor lower tray complete with cover and a 12V power outlet. Capacity was very relieved to reach 468 liters for size 5 seater family car.

BMW 2-Series Active Tourer is actually using the same platform with the Mini Cooper so that what is hidden beneath the bonnet is the same engine is a 1.5 liter 3-cylinder with double-VANOS, Valvetronic and TwinPower Turbo. This machine can produce power 136 hp and 220 Nm of torque. This car is also equipped with the Sport driving modes, Comfort and Eco Pro to choose according to your needs.

The character of the engine is quite responsive, but not compared to the Mini Cooper because Active Tourer bigger and heavier. But when you want a little aggressive and feel the actual performance of this car, kicks 136 hp power and 220 Nm of torque is more than enough to make this a family car ran a little faster. If you still want to exploit all the capabilities of this car, move it to the Sport mode. Instantly, the car will be more fierce, the engine became more aggressive and the steering becomes a little heavier. As a family car support 3-cylinder engine is enough, control offered was not much different from the species that rear-wheel drive BMW. Just because the Mini Countryman based on the sense of driving a bit similar.

Change can bring a positive thing, including a system of front wheels which now provide the advantage of a cabin with a low floor and a relief space for the first family car BMW. The true BMW enthusiasts may not so sympathetic towards new species, but this car can attract people outside the BMW fans to complete the curiosity of what it's like a family car BMW.

Honda HR-V design as a powerful vehicle like an SUV with a coupe-style design lines. The toughness of an SUV design can be seen from the design of the bottom of the HR-V with fender looks muscular plus a high ground clearance. While descending roofline at the rear as well as the placement of door handles camouflaged by the window makes it look like a coupe that has only two doors. Design combinations such as these provide a separate option for those who want the advantages possessed by an SUV with hatchback practicality. More precisely, the HR-V is in between Jazz and CR-V.

This machine is capable of spewing power up to 120 hp at 6600 rpm and 145 Nm at 4,600 rpm. "With various considerations, we think SOHC more suitable because it can maximize the potential of the engine at low rpm. While the potential DOHC engine at higher spin. This is why we pin a SOHC engine on HR-V, "said Morishita.

Porsche Cayman GTS Review 2015

Porsche Cayman GTS Review 2015-In this article I will try to share the experience of driving on the Porsche Cayman GTS

Similar to the Boxster, Cayman GTS carrying the 3.4-liter flat-6 placed in the middle. What distinguishes, overflow exerts greater power 10 hp and 10 Nm compared Boxster GTS. Cayman offers a peak power of 340 hp and peak torque of 380 Nm.

With these differences, performance is presented Cayman Boxster is better than GTS. With the combination of the automatic transmission 7-speed PDK, acceleration 0-100 kph can be achieved in 4.6 seconds in Sport + mode. With a weight similar to that of the Boxster GTS (1,375 kg), can not be denied on the track circuit, the car is noticeably faster.

Moreover, the entire selection obtained by the Porsche Boxster also be obtained by Cayman GTS GTS, call it PASM with Sport Chassis, Sport Chrono Package, Sport Exhaust system, until the carbon ceramic brakes and a swathe of Alcantara in the cabin, all get similar treatment. With different dimensions, Cayman providing a more spacious luggage space in the rear of up to 275 liters.With the exterior appearance also get a distinctive touch GTS, bi-xenon headlights with black frames, wheels 20-inch Carrera S belongs to, I have to admit if the design is the most beautiful Cayman between two GTS Porsche sport car I've tested before. A blend of the front of a typical Porsche cars and the stern with a shorter overhang, and rounded than 911 makes it look more sexy. But again, this is a matter of taste.Even so, on top of the track circuit, I feel the same way. Cayman GTS presents a most enjoyable ride and feels more balanced. Not brutal as that offered by the 911, but more powerful than the Boxster GTS. Moreover, as a mid-engine sports car, this car presents a more balanced ride than sport car rear-engined, especially when asked to drive more relaxed, the car is not tiring.

Unfortunately, Porsche actually not planning to enter the Cayman GTS as one of the models will be sold. Based on the information, the more precisely performing variants, namely Cayman GT4 which will fill the Cayman models for consumer choice country. In continental Europe, the variants offered by Porsche GTS has praised the completeness and offer a driving experience comparable with a price tag offered. Hopefully the same thing can be enjoyed also by consumers Posrche in the country.

Porsche Boxster GTS Review Pictures 2015

Porsche Boxster GTS Review Pictures 2015-Like the other variants of GTS, GTS Boxster get more standard features to tempt prospective customers. Based Boxster S, GTS variants get a different touch to the exterior and interior. Front bumper with larger air inlets, headlights with black bandage around her and alloy wheels measuring 20 inches which makes it looks more sporty.

Inside, the cabin Boxster GTS get Alcantara lining in the center of the seat, steering wheel and his armrest-, which offers comfort while driving. Different models of bucket seats compared with 911 and Cayman, although more sporty feel harder. With the machine in the middle position, the trunk space immobilized pad is divided into two, on the front and the rear, each with a capacity of 150 liters and 130 liters.

Features that support the performance and dynamism of the GTS become standard equipment offered by Porsche. Call it, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that presents options Sport Chassis, also the Sport Chrono Package, Sport Exhaust system and the system with carbon ceramic brakes on all four wheels. With Sport Chassis, Boxster GTS can be lower by up to 20 mm, plus get electronic damper for greater driving pleasure.

Placement machine in the middle has made this car one of the cars with a fun ride since the beginning. Flat-6 engine derived from the 3.4 liter Boxster S gets an extra shot of power up to 15 hp and a torque of 10 Nm to 330 hp and 370 Nm. Combined with an automatic transmission 7-speed PDK, the Boxster GTS is claimed to accelerate from 0-100 kph in 4.9 seconds, even able to achieve 4.7 seconds with Sport + mode.

No need to linger, after testing the 911 Carrera GTS on the track and get a turn, Boxster GTS become one of the main options for immediately I tried. This is partly because, according to a source at PT Eurokars Artha Utama, Agent licensee of Porsche in Indonesia, Boxster GTS became one of the products that will be available soon in the country. Behind the wheel, the Boxster presenting a low seating position. Unlike the 911, the model sport bucket seats reinforces the impression of a sport car, but feels hard when occupied.

The roar of the engine behind the rear seats sounded strong. Sport + mode chosen

because we immediately will face the track circuit. As a result the exhaust louder roar can be heard in the cabin, very fun. When accelerated, the response is not as strong as previously given 911, but still gives the impression of a pleasant Boxster.

Control in the bend feels more balanced thanks to the position of the engine in the middle. Performance and control become more because its weight is also lighter than the Boxster S, only 1375 kg (with automatic transmission 7-speed PDK). Thanks to PASM and Sport Package, almost no symptoms of oversteer when cornering fast around the corner, the figure is also almost reached 200 kph on the straight path circuits only with gear 4.

Pursuing instructors who use the 911 Turbo S is perceived requires more effort than when using the 911 Carrera GTS, but the response of the transmission 7-speed PDK is also very helpful, especially when the engine is screaming until nearly 8,000 rpm, pengendaraannya remains strong and able to keep the speed of the car in front of him. One other contributing factor is steering with precision electromechanical system, although at low speeds, feels quite heavy.

Features Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) which became standard equipment for the Boxster GTS also provides confidence when maneuvering at high speed. Intervention on the braking system on the inside rear wheel when cornering will be done to correct the direction of controlling the car. Together with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), which works with ABS and EBD brake system, this car is really promising at the same exciting driving experience safer.

After pressing the gas pedal over the full five rounds, the photo session is the perfect time to experience the thrill of driving the Boxster with the roof open. The process of opening and closing of each of which lasted only 9 seconds can be made up to speeds of 50 kph. In the back seat are windbreaks that can eliminate air turbulence in the cabin when the roof is open.

Mazda MX-5 Review Pictures

Mazda MX-5-Armed with a design that combines a strong impression with the impression of a smooth, MX-5 was nicknamed "unisex vehicles". Most likely men and women will fall in love with her figure. Moreover, the MX-5 is also able to offer luxury for the driver and passengers, from the cockpit to the features available.

MX-5 is a car which is to be one of Mazda's global icon. On the world market, the roadster variants vary, among other things engined version 1.8 L, 2.0L Sport Tech, and 2.0L Powershift. Adapaun roof consists of a kind of soft top and hard top.

This time test model is the 2.0L engine hard top roof. Automatic transmission uses a six-speed powershift. This is the highest variant of the MX-5 is now for the automatic transmission.

Design Mazda MX-5

Mazda MX-5 roadster is pinned into a two-seater, rear-wheel drive with the engine in front. Known figure named Miata in the USA is the result of the development of Mazda in Hiroshima, Japan. Although initially, the design is a development roadster Mazda North America (MANA).

Seeing the stern, trunk hood has a separate connection from the back of the body. Therefore, openings are also becoming more airy so as to facilitate access to the goods. The brake light is still using incandescent lamps. Exhaust pipes bersematan pair of shades chrome muffler.

Further talking about the models 'its convertible', which is so iconic Mazda roadster is promoting methods of automatic operation. Looking to the overall dimensions, packed all 4,020 mm, width 1,720 mm, height 1,255 mm. Thus, the figure is 50 mm longer than the first generation and 75 mm from the 2nd. Width 45 mm more than the first generation and 40 mm compared to the second generation. Whilst the high increase of 20 mm from the first and 27 mm from the latter. By doing so, the latest generation roadster more versatile dimension so that its size is quite visible change significantly.

Interior Mazda MX-5

Choice of black taste is prevalent in vehicles 'sport'. Mazda rightly gives shades of black and dark gray on the seat, regulators vehicle features, audio system, and some of the instrument panel. Elegant impression increases their silver color cast on the front of the cabin, gearshift grip, steering wheel spokes and rods roll over in the back seat.

Shape of the instrument panel and dashboard relatively simple with a horizontal concept. We also measure the space where the car interior width of 13 650 mm and height 940 mm. And, the trunk has a length of 1,250 mm, width 550 mm and height 83 mm.

Turning on spaciousness sitting position, legroom minimum and maximum distance MX-5 odds 160 mm. Legroom maximum reach of 480 mm and a minimum of 320 mm. While the maximum headroom as high as 935 mm and 900 mm minimum.

MX-5 has an audio system and outstanding features. First to audio, this roadster armed with in-dash 6-disc CD changer, MP3 capability WMA (Windows Media Audio), radio, and 'auxiliary'. While as many as seven Bose speakers with AudioPilot and 2 Noise Compensation technology provides its own nuances while enjoying your favorite music.

Roadster also pay attention to in terms of safety and security with good. There is ABS, EBD and BA. Then, the rider who likes to drive aggressively can try to feature DSC (Dynamic System Control) and TSC (Traction Control System). Mazda also provides the product with two air sacs, each of which is in the front and side.

Performance Mazda MX-5

However, when it reached 100 kph, acceleration performance decreased. Rushing from 100 kph to 110 kph, reaching difference of 2 seconds.

If you want to do or cruising on the highway outside the city, cruise control feature is very useful when the car reaches a certain speed that is in tune with the style of speed on that road. This feature helps maintain the stability of the speed of the MX-5, thereby minimizing excessive fuel use due to gas pedal game.

Given this car countless cars that stimulate the driver to gallop, stop speed is equipped with antilock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and brake assist. When testing, braking 100-0 kph, the MX-5 could stop in 3.9 seconds with a distance of 49.2 meters. And to speed kph 80-0, can stop in 4.8 seconds with a distance of 30 meters.

Ride and handling Mazda MX-5

Mazda MX-5 is concocting a roadster that can be used daily, especially on urban roads. Acceleration is not easily perceived in the streets of the city, but the ability to control gives the driver more confidence to get out in traffic density. Has a wheelbase of 2,330 mm and a steering wheel that can spin 2.75 turns (lock to lock), the MX-5 was felt spry for maneuver. Driving in the city even becomes pleasure.

Steering wheel feels too light, although still with a 'hydraulic power assist steering' (not electronic). However, the choice of hydraulic power steering applications are more suited to the car sporty character, because it gives a greater opportunity for the driver to explore the ability to control the steering wheel, without interference from electronic devices.

Thanks to the engine's ability MZR 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, DOHC, VVT and treats transmission nimble, makes the sensation of driving the MX-5 feels incredible. 0-100 kph acceleration in 10.9 seconds capable ditoreh. Indeed, this result is still less than the BMW Z4 roadster is incised 7.3 seconds. However, notice the difference in engine capacity of 500 cc, it was the achievement of the MX-5 is a pretty good time nicks.

If compared with the Z4, it looks like the MX-5 does have a performance level under the German roadster. Power MX-5 behind 46 hp, while torque of 60 Nm at odds. The Japanese roadster cover weaknesses with better handling. Its weight is much lighter than the Z4, among others, which makes the MX-5 is able to swing with more agile and scalable. At this time of testing, we enjoyed maneuvering around each bend along the MX-5. At a speed of 80 kph, the car can still go around the bend notched being without experiencing oversteer.

For acceleration, the test results confirm strong car at low and medium speed (1st gear ratio 3.538) and in the medium speed (gear 2nd 2060, 3rd 1404, 4th 1.000 5th 0713). For example, 30-50 kph acceleration achieved easily within 1.9 seconds, then to 50-70 kph speed appear more powerful engine performance with the only recorded 2.2 seconds.

Per and the damper is blended with a more robust, to give stability qualified. In addition, ground clearance of 136 mm, combined tire size 205/45 lining the rims 17, managed to make the MX-5 feels very tread, despite the solid state of the road bergelombang.Suspensi also contribute greatly to produce a satisfactory grip wheel.

With sturdy suspension and steering are spry, of the driver's body needs sufficient support when cornering. Recaro seat was applied and the driver seemed to hug the body, making the body does not easily shift to the left or right during fast cornering.

We understand why the predecessor generation of this car was awarded as 'best handling car' by Autocar UK. The hallmark of great restraint is certainly bequeathed to this brand-new MX-5.

Meanwhile, when on a straight road, we admit that the MX-5 is not as tight as the BMW Z4. However, when asked to maneuver, we think European roadster was necessary to imitate what the Mazda car. Press the DSC (dynamic stability control), to enable or disable it. When disabled, then spontaneously control of the car will be wild on the rear axle. Test drive results we concluded, that this car can do drifting, the control remains qualified.

Jaguar XE Review

Jaguar XE Review Pictures 2015-Here it is the latest premium-class compact sedan Jaguar will directly challenge the dominance of German cars, BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Jaguar XE. This car brings advantages as the first car to use aluminum monocoque construction in its class, making the sedan is claimed to be the most lightweight and rigid in its class.

Exterior Jaguar XE 
 
The first time I saw her figure, Jaguar XE displays a thick aura of sporty. His figure still has a design philosophy similar to other Jaguar models, XF and F-Type, making it easily recognizable as a Jaguar. Some parts of the body claimed to be the basis of design models of Jaguar in the future.

Positioned as a sports saloon, XE forward body lean with high aerodynamic values. Flowing design lines on the side combined with a long roofline and sloped on the back of presenting a figure like a coupe. With an existing profile, the XE has a wind drag coefficient of only 0.26 which makes it as the most aerodynamic Jaguar models.

Aluminum structures

Behind the beautiful exterior, the structure of the Jaguar XE uses more than 75% aluminum content, which makes the weight becomes the lightest in its class. Not only light, the car body has a special strength to the level of rigidity and a high safety without sacrificing the beauty of design and comfort. Even RC5754 material used in XE is a mixture of recycled aluminum material that was first used in the world in a car.
Jaguar XE is the first model designed using modular aluminum-intensive architecture to date. The body structure uses a combination of aluminum alloy materials, high-strength steel, and magnesium.

High-strength aluminum alloys used in the A-pillars, front and rear structure and the roof frame of the vehicle. Part B pillars also use high-strength aluminum material, steel-reinforced and have a layer of foam with high density to make the passenger cabin space is more rigid and sturdy to impact during an accident. XE safety assurance developed to meet the stringent safety requirements, including those from the US and Euro NCAP.

Not only the body structure, aluminum is also used in most of the suspension structure belonging XE, especially at the brand-new rear suspension: Integral Link. This suspension can deliver the ideal level of lateral rigidity for superb control, as well as presenting a longitudinal movement steadily to increase comfort. 

Interior Jaguar XE 
 
Inside the cabin, XE presenting cabin space feels spacious, with high quality leather material lining the interior. The cabin is dominated by black car that gives the impression of luxury with aluminum accents that provide a combination of sporty impression. Double stitching on leather enhance the impression of a luxurious interior.

In the center console, there is an entertainment center called InControl Infotainment equipped with a touch screen 8 "connect Bluetooth and WiFi to access the Internet. With InControl Apps, the driver can access the cell phone via the touch screen. Even XE can also serve as a WiFi hotspot, allowing multiple devices to connect to the Internet through XE.
More sophisticated, Remote InControl functions connected with the iOS or Android operating systems can control the car via a smartphone. Ranging from open or lock doors, start the engine, to regulate the temperature of the AC in the car before you actually were inside the cabin. For the sound system, premium audio systems rely XE alerts Meridian developed specifically for Jaguar XE.

In addition, at the top of the windshield, there is a sensor in the form of a stereo camera that can keep an eye on the streets along the 100 meters ahead. AEB (autonomous emergency braking) will provide information or a warning if there is a sudden stop in front of the vehicle. 





Ride and handling of Jaguar XE Diesel

After getting the chance to drive, sit behind the wheel XE diesel engine with manual transmission gives the impression of comfort, because the seat has a design that can be tailored to the contours of the body of the driver and passengers. XE with R-Sport trim is getting HUD display features (head-up display) with a high-contrast color graphic that displays speed and navigation system on the windshield, on the top of the instrument panel.
Inline 4-cylinder engine with 2.0 liter variable geometry turbo single injection gives gusts peak power of 180 hp at 4,000 rpm and peak torque of 430 Nm started 1,750 rpm to 2,500 rpm. With a pair of 6-speed manual transmission, Jaguar claimed acceleration 0-100 kph can be achieved in 7.8 seconds. XE peak torque diesel is almost equal peak torque XE V6 3.0-liter engine is indeed feels very responsive, which limits the rate of 120 kph our speed on a freeway was too easily achieved.

With the winding and uphill road conditions, driving XE feels comfortable and does not feel tired. Because the performance of the diesel engine is quite responsive in every round, as to the wishes of the driver. With manual transmission, we can drive the vehicle more responsive because the gear shift can be made up ahead of the engine speed limit.

Ride and handling of Jaguar XE gasoline V8

On arrival at the Navarra circuit, we immediately get a chance to try out the strongest variant of the Jaguar XE, 3.0-liter V8 engine plus supercharger. This car can be poured peak power of 340 hp at 6500 rpm and torque of 450 Nm at 4500 rpm. The strongest XE is claimed to be able to accelerate from 0-100 kph in just 5.1 seconds.

After the exit of the track pit, spontaneous stamping on the gas pedal provides a very responsive acceleration. When crossing the straight track, the lyrics had my speedometer needle reaches 200 kph before braking hard and turn to feel the incredible balance that served braking and suspension systems XE. The strength of the combination of a double wishbone suspension at the front and rear Integral link rear wheel makes the car is not nearly have symptoms of oversteer at all when maneuvering quickly.
