skoda 2 review


here is a little review of skoda
Performance Performance rating
The Fabia offers a wide range of engines. Choices include 59bhp and 68bhp 1.2s, an 84bhp 1.4 and a 103bhp 1.6-litre petrol engines. All engines come with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, but the 1.6 allows you to specify a semi-automatic gearbox. There are also two versions of Skoda's 1.4-litre turbodiesel, giving either 68bhp or 79bhp, while a 103bhp 1.9-litre engine tops the diesel range.
Ride & handling Ride & handling rating






The Fabia is big by supermini standards, but it's dinky enough to excel in the city, and light controls. The Fabia rides comfortably, too, doing a good job of smoothing out patchy surfaces. It does lean a little through corners, and it's hampered by a vague gearshift, though.
Refinement Refinement rating -
A little wind noise builds up around the windscreen pillars as speed increases, but road and suspension noise rarely break the calm in the cabin. It's a shame the same can't be said of the engines; all the three-cylinder engines are noisy, especially at low speeds, but the real villain is the 1.9-litre diesel, which is loud and gruff compared with modern diesel engines.

news Ferrari building new simulator


i read a news that Ferrari is hard at work on a new formula one simulator, according to reports in the Spanish press. The sports daily Marca claims that Marc Gene is at the forefront of the high-tech equipment's development, and that his test at Jerez this week was almost exclusively centred on collecting information for the simulator.



McLaren's top secret state-of-the-art simulator is known as being currently the best among F1 teams, and it took much of the credit for Lewis Hamilton's sensational rookie season in 2007. Red Bull was believed to be building a similar unit and software for its own factory.

But Marca believes that Ferrari's new simulator will be superior to all others in F1, following more than 18 months of development led by Felipe Massa's former race engineer Gabriele Delli Colli.

Gene, Ferrari's secondary test driver, commented that the simulator is already operating at an advanced level. �I haven't tested like this for nearly a year and I should be a lot more rusty,� the Spaniard said at Jerez earlier this week, �but I am only a half or second or so away from R�ikk�nen. This is thanks to the simulator, which allows you to keep pace. It is a very big help,� he added.

Need Four-Wheel Drive?


A four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle is one in which the engine powers all four wheels either part of the time or all of the time. Most cars have two-wheel drive, which means either the front or back wheels are powered by the engine.

Four-wheel drive, which we'll refer to as 4WD, is optional on many SUVs and there are pluses and minuses to this pricey and complex feature.




If you already know the difference between driveline types, but are unsure as to which best suits your needs, you can read Four-Wheel Drive Demystified on the ForbesAutos.com/cars.com co-branded site to find out more.

As the chart below illustrates, SUVs with 4WD drive are more expensive than their two-wheel-drive counterparts.

Top 10 Luxury Cars for woman

Thelma and Louise sought top-down glory in a light blue �66 Ford Thunderbird convertible. Carol Brady settled for a Plymouth station wagon, an eminently practical choice � and about as exciting as a soft-boiled egg. The luxury vehicles with the highest percentage of women drivers today aren�t at either of these extremes. Rather, they�re some of the most well-balanced cars out there, from a shapely, sporty BMW roadster to a quartet of safe yet chic Volvos.



�The common denominator with most of the vehicles on this list is that they�re all sophisticated, refined vehicles with complex surfacing and highly-evolved design,� says Imre Molnar, dean of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Mich., where he runs one of the world�s largest transportation design programs.

Molnar calls out the �flame surfacing� that chief BMW designer Chris Bangle employed � sometimes controversially � when creating the BMW Z4, which heads up our list of the top 10 luxury cars driven by women. The Z4's body blends convex and concave shapes inspired by a flame. When designing the car, Bangle even commissioned a group of dancers so that he could model the roadster's form in part based on their spontaneous body movements. "Women are responding to this fluid, organic, inspired form,� Molnar says.

Besides sophistication, women are also looking for subtlety. �I think women have such a good eye for detail,� says Vicki Vlachakis, designer of the Saturn Sky, which is popular with women, according to CNW Marketing Research data, but isn't on our list because it's not a luxury car. �The attention to detail is really important on the interior; on all of the key driving interfaces such as the gauges, shifter area, steering wheel and seats.�

Styling and aesthetics alone won't win women over, though. �To put it bluntly, women are more practical than men when it comes to cars,� says Art Spinella of CNW Marketing Research. �Whereas men tend to buy cars that are more testosterone-based and macho [see our men's list], women are into cars that are sophisticated and sensible.� The Lexus IS, which ranks 10th, offers strong performance from two available V6 engines, but still returns decent gas mileage at an estimated average of 27 mpg for combined city/highway driving in the IS 250. Likewise the sporty BMW Z4, which cranks out more than 200 hp but gets 30 mpg on the highway.

Most Extravagant Car

From a foot-long sterling silver Bentley replica that costs more than some luxury cars to a $13,300 Audi pedal car for the kids, there's a car-related gift even for those who have everything.




Take, for example, Bentley's $55,000 Blower Model, a foot-long replica of a 1920s-era Bentley painstakingly rendered from sterling silver. Sure, springing for $395 Bentley cuff links would have been impressive, but let's face it, they aren't available in a limited edition of 10 like the Blower Model, and nor do they take 20 weeks for delivery. So get your order in now for next year. It's the kind of gift that says, "I could have bought you a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but they're simply too common."


Bentley fans aren't the only ones who can be spoiled. Aston Martin devotees who consider the sexy British cars to be art will appreciate a photograph of their favorite model juxtaposed with work by Anselm Kiefer, Jean Nouvel, or Tony Cragg, among other noted artists. Pricing for a framed print of any of the pieces comes in at just under $7,000.

Hummer HX Concept


TheThree new GM designers - David Rojas, Min Young Kang and Robert Jablonski, were given the opportunity by the American carmaker to create a concept vehicle for the Hummer brand that will debut at the 2008 Detroit Show in January. According to GM�s press release, the E-85 FlexFuel capable HUMMER HX �embodies the off road spirit of HUMMER in a fully customizable package�.

Among other features, the HX gets a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger and a modular, removable rear roof assembly enabling a quick conversion from closed vehicle to open vehicle SUT
In its final concept form, the E-85 FlexFuel capable HUMMER HX embodies the off road spirit of HUMMER in a fully customizable package. The HX offers an open-air driving experience via a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger and a modular, removable rear roof assembly enabling a quick conversion from closed vehicle to open vehicle SUT. It also features a slant back assembly with removable doors and fender flairs.

�Working as a team, you realize it�s more than one person influencing the vehicle,� said Rojas. �You can see the inspiration from each of our designs in the final concept vehicle. We�re all proud to have the chance to see our sketches become reality.�

Ferrari�s Dino


Ferrari�s Dino

Despite being conceived more than two years ago, the whole project only got the green light in September, and is scheduled to be unveiled at a major motor show in 2009.

It's the supercar scoop of the year! Auto Express has had exclusive access to insider details and can now reveal all the details of the Italian legend�s most important new model of the decade. Yes, the Dino is back!


Taking the latter part of its name from Enzo Ferrari�s son, our contacts are confident that the eventual title will be �420 Dino�, with the number referring to the V8 engine�s size.

Back in Italy, one fierce debate is still raging between Ferrari, Pininfarina � the car�s designer � and Ferrari�s owner, Fiat. While all indicators still lean toward the Dino being a coup�-cabriolet with a folding hard-top, some bosses would prefer to launch the entry-level model as a berlinetta hard-top GTB first, followed soon after by a targa GTS.

This would follow the trend set by the 246 Dino GT and GTS from 1968 and 1971, and the 308 GTB and GTS from 1975 and 1977.

Review of 2008 Cadillac CTS


Review of 2008 Cadillac CTS
It starts off with freshened exterior styling that seems less "scientific" and more "artistic." Overall body dimensions are similar to the original CTS, but there are an additional 2 inches of track width to give the sedan a more powerful stance. This impression of substance is highlighted by aggressively styled fender flares and a new grille that takes cues from the Cadillac Sixteen concept car.



Inside, the entry-level Cadillac's cabin is constructed of higher-quality materials. Buyers have a choice of attractive carbon-fiber or real wood accents, and these frame an aluminum-trimmed center stack and console. Bright metallic accents also stylishly adorn the gauges, primary controls and dash vents. It's a classy look that avoids looking busy and overdone. Backseat passengers enjoy more than an inch of additional rear legroom, thanks to slimmer front seats.


If the passengers in the 2008 Cadillac CTS are happier, the driver will border on giddy, owing to the extensively retuned suspension and new powertrains. Cadillac chassis engineers spent a great deal of development time on Germany's famed N�rburgring road course, and it shows on even the well-controlled standard setup. Two additional sport suspension choices further dial up the fun.
