2008 Toyota Rav4 CV6 review




Soon after its release, I drove the Toyota Rav4. At the time of its introduction to the market, it was only available as a 4-cylinder. I recall being disappointed with the lack of power from the engine, which struggled at times to haul the car’s mass. Toyota has addressed these concerns and stuck the same engine as the Aurion underneath the Rav4’s bonnet. Case closed, Paul is now happy. Err…not quite.
I took the new V6 Rav4 for a spin and it was interesting to say the least. Packing some 201kW and 333Nm of torque, this V6 motor is certainly no lightweight. Weighing in at 1655kg, the Rav4 is quite a light ‘SUV’ in relative terms. The 200mm ground clearance increases the centre of gravity and the semi-off-road capable tyres reduce grip levels. This set of factors makes for quite a challenging combination.
My first encounter was a truck with loose cargo travelling under the speed limit and partially in my lane. I had to pass it, so I sank the boot in and received the shock of my life as the car torque steered in several different directions. The V6 engine sends power through the front wheels and only redirects it to the rear wheels if it detects slippage.
If I thought that was bad, the following day it started raining. Pulling away from an intersection in peak-hour traffic required a decent prod of the throttle to hurry things along. Stabbing the loud pedal produced a flurry of wheel spin (typical of an overpowered front-wheel-drive vehicle). No problems I thought, in a matter of moments power will be sent to the rear and we will have more traction with which to work.

2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara First Steer




It is not very often that I am ready to get up at 6:00 AM to go to a device, in fact, is not often that I am ready to get up at 6:00 is for nothing. But Suzuki invitation to the central and northern Australia for the new Grand Vitara offer is worth waking up early. Our trip lasted three days and involved all private aircraft at a cost of $ 4000 per hour for the helicopter, a camel (later in the dromedary) and, of course, is running Suzuki Thanks flagship model to hundreds of kilometers of desert and four - wheel-drive tracks in the Northern Territory. After meeting with the local wildlife - everything from small lizards large lizards and even some Dingo - it is time to get serious. Suzuki May be a relatively small mark in Australia, with only two percent market share, but on the whole, the Japanese manufacturer 2405000 units sold worldwide last year and in terms of volume, Japanese fourth in the rankings, behind Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Standings before the likes of Mitsubishi and Subaru. release of the third generation Grand Vitara mark 20 years of producing the popular SUV. Suzuki Vitara States claim to have invented the compact SUV segment, since it has no direct competitors in 1988.

2008 Hummer H3 review




The H3 can be compared to a supercar in many respects, it will be as many heads (if not more), fans of all cars have their own views on what is most important, protecting the environment I hate is a good reason to love the Hummer. My first week was used on a standard yellow-trim Hummer H3 with the second week of gunmetal gray finish to a variation of luxury. Karl took its course in the H3 Luxury in Perth, who spent his time away from the road. Before we begin, allow me to return to the treatment of Hummer by any Brisbanites. It is undeniable that all 4WD/SUVs attract some attention more concerned about saving the planet of personal hygiene. The Hummer, but considers that this is an extreme level. of the few who see the Hummer as the vehicle used by the U.S. army to invade sovereign states to think that every minute a Hummer is the right to leave a penguin fluffy day at the North Pole, ignorance of some people is astonishing.

2008 Holden Sportwagon first steer




GM Holden has taken a very bold with the introduction of the new Commodore VE based Sportwagon. The previous goal VZ market for commercial users as coach stereotyped as dry, boring â € ~ REP-mobile. " Enter 2008 and the success VE Commodore. Holden wants clear that â € ~ REP-mobile with an image-esque Chrysler 300C break that recourse to a wider market, including families and people with active lifestyles. In his speech at the media launch of the Sportwagon Holden, Senior Designer said Richard Ferlazzo design philosophy was to create a vehicle that was adapted buyers are considering an SUV. The Sportwagon is rated by Holden a compromise between form and function, with an emphasis on ride quality and design. Holden of Sportwagon se basa en el Commodore short wheelbase platform and not, as in the past, long-WM-wheel platform. The Sportwagon maintain the length of the sedan, but still manage to be one of the most spacious cars on the market. The door cuts in the ceiling to provide easy access when parked against the walls and other vehicles. The Sportwagon just 268mm authorization to open the rear door, which means it is possible is not required to charge their purchases or boy in football art. $ 110 million was paid in the development of Sportwagon (on top of $ 1.03 billion spent on Commodore and $ 105.1 million for the program), with a little more than half a million kilometers the past as evidence.

2008 Dodge Nitro SXT CRD review




After the first glance may be confused with a piece of military equipment capable of operating with more small houses. On the second sight, but the rubber tires and chrome grille slot in the category of SUVs. It is literally a big step to reach the driver's seat, when a position is taken. Panseret, it seems that ever happens, so that the front hood easy to see. Driver's seat is comfortable and gives a relaxed position for long drives. interior - including most American car - is apparently in plastic. I could not believe the amount of plastics used in the Dodge Caliber took me last year. Although the Nitro has a lot of plastic for use, is not as bad as the size, but for the same reason, it is not at a level that I would describe as acceptable for a $ 40000 car ~ . I took the test Nitro SXT CRD under the hood of a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and gearbox to the authority of Nitro. Nails into force and after a few steps turbo lag, a torrent few hits, military vehicles lookalike pace. The diesel engine produces 130kW and a massive 460Nm of torque, consumption of alcohol by 9.4l/100km, not the poor for this great car. Power is transmitted by a 5-speed automatic box. despite the acceleration of contact is much, Nitro does not deal with - and for all. Chuck Nitro around a little patience and a sense of insecurity felt immediately. Body roll, a lack of response management system spongy and end up less than a fun driving experience. Although the body roll is acceptable for an SUV, Nitro does not have a car that can be used in all situations, which is the target of an SUV. In terms of equipment 4WD, Nitro has a switched-mode 4WD which has the ability to shift power to the rear wheels when slippage is detected. Plastics massive dominates the front and rear, I'm not trying to Nitro off-road situations, because of fear of breaking bull bars and others.

2008 Skoda Octavia 1.8 TFSI




Do not close the window. May Even if you have not heard before Skoda, a name is worth the search. Last week, ga me in the Skoda Octavia 1.8 TFSI. Under the hood is an engine shared with Audi, while the interior is a no different vehicles range Volkswagen. That all seems rather strange that I hear you say. Well, there is a reason behind it. Property group Volkswagen, Czech company Skoda has produced just over 2.0 million Octavio since 1996. They are, literally, across Europe and a person who operates a trial in Australia will wonder why not hit our shores soon. price of only $ 30990, Octavia 1.8 TFSI have a very, 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder that pumps a good 118kW and 250Nm of torque. The engine is connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox, which stain with the changes and very easy to use the clutch. The engine is very sensitive and propels a car full of passengers along without thinking twice. All this, while fuel use 7.7-litres/100km - astonishing. The interior has an air of Volkswagen in this regard. Instead of lighting a cigarette with a blue Volkswagen, the interior gives a green environment, to differentiate the German manufacturer. Construction and building materials in the cabin is literally flawless, just feels very well built. Close doors with confidence and not to be heard rattles speed on the road. Interior room is sufficient. In the trunk - 560 litres of it! -- Give a lot of storage space in the back seat, while residents have enough space to get comfortable in the legs. Although the 1.8 TFSI is not a sports car - the title is left of the Octavia RS - worked well enough at midpoint. It is just a nominal amount of body when thrown into a corner, but the level of pesetas in all situations under. Brake is very delicate, but they are very capable - even after several applications drive. Standard features include: 16â € alloy wheels; door mirrors with lights, two-zone climate control, fog lamps, power locks, power mirrors, power windows, cruise control, heated exterior mirrors, 6 - stack CD with 8 speakers and MP3 compatibility; AUX; filter pollen and cooled glove box.

2008 Renault Laguna Privilège dCi Hatch




French engineering often scoffed as an oxymoron, but for my life why do not believe, I believe, gave us the Airbus A380, Millau Bridge Bridge, the Eiffel Tower and Louvre. I could go on for hours, but it is a self-examination, after all, and what I am trying to do here is that it does not have a pastry chef to see that the French have a certain je ne sais quoi rounded, innovation and daring to be different. Laguna a length fees for French as a symbol of innovation and design Intelligent Vehicle data from other cars hope, which is a time when BMW bought and validated Sandouville Laguna number one. Unfortunately, Aussie May simply not things comme il faut, and more often than not miss your chance to own one - maybe this time everything that is to be changed. vote Company Car of the Year 2008 (in France) and El Mundo's most beautiful car (variation Estate) Festival of the Paris Motor, the new Laguna is a sophisticated and modern car with the ideals embodied challenge the Convention itself, have always french cars. Although some of Renault style was distinctive, the logic behind this is a pleasure, and now with the phase III conquest of Laguna host exhibitions, it is a French proposal by its reasoning May have finally returned to German in the air. almost any angle, the car is impressive, very sculpture in Bavaria, and even if I itself is not a fan of the tail light positioning (weed), almost all other angles of the car reach a compromise aesthetic pleasure. It is not very powerful, but it is certainly surprising, elegant and very elegant and well-proportioned, smooth lines and an energy that flows like.

2008 Honda CR-V review




Honda, in general, there are three things in the eyes of its loyal buyers. They are popular and reputable and reliable. According to statistics VFACTS, Honda CR-V is the number one seller in its category for the years 1999 to 2002 and again in 2006, took an impressive 13% of all sales in its segment of the year . But what really sales figures show a car? is very good to have sold a number of cars in the past, a realization that the CR-V led successfully. With nearly 2.5 million examples sold in 160 countries, the popularity Lugge little doubt find not be questioned. Despite the popularity, usually an indication of merit, is one thing, it is purely the CR-V in popularity that keeps players coming? It is perhaps the manufacturer of the solid reputation? Reputation represent much in the minds of consumers, but for the moment the vagaries of mass production and good marketing, reputation does not necessarily guarantee success model is as good as it replaces. After all, some manufacturers are accustomed to rest on its laurels. This makes the new CR-V stack the glove of this review cynicism? The third generation CR-V closely follows the model that has successfully secured the power to detain more than Honda's market share in this category heatedly argued. It is well built, has set tolerances and use the materials and methods to ensure that you receive the value of every last penny of their purchases. I explored on the car, determined to find something wrong with Thailand producing vehicles. But a week after research, running, poking and prodding my quest is a dead letter. Now, I know, is not perfect, after all, are built for a price. But if one takes into account the total value, and quality of the package as a whole compared to its competitors, it is very difficult to beat. I will even go so far as to say that the standard set for any change must be measured.

2008 HSV Maloo




Dinner with a friend, then go back to my place forâ € drink. That's the plan anyway. It is as simple as it sounds at the time, I was not ready for intervention MALO. The dinner is said, done and paid for what is in front of me. As we reached the MALO - stationed in the rock star's position opposite the swanky restaurant - three burly men were hunkered in the car, observing all the little details of the insignia of false air ventilation in skjørtet . After a laissez-passer â € œSick car broâ € commentary, the largest of the three men has risen along my wife and a friend started to speak - apparently they knew each other forever. It will not take long for me to realize that his brother was actually more protection it was set to - about me. It does not seem too impressed with me several attempts to mind as a last resort, offered to take him to a time around the block. We up and I turned the key, to bring the 6.0-litre V8 Behemoth to life. The number of discs summed up very well - â € € œUTE307â - which had been 307kWsâ € one. It is a recipe for locking front and a number of tyre smoke in cars normal size VHS, much less one with virtually no weight on the rear steps!

TRD Hilux 4000SL vs. LS3 HSV Maloo R8




When we decided to launch two of Australia favourite sport utes head to head this week, was bound to cause some heated debates around CarAdvice office. Despite a couple of pick-up with a slightly different, still largely the same great power, tradition trucks line to offer something slightly more boring than the old worker - a real power. now before we begin, remove the purpose of this argument, because we know that these utes are essentially a sports car with the drawer open and that the rate of return much higher rating in the list of the load useful or practical in this case. This debate in some quarters May be slightly Medley. You see more things to see these utes such as games or pony show if you wish, and more often than not going to give a little lips for the pleasure of men cut off from underground to drive a ute that all go and show no space for storage. But then we discovered when it is at least one of two this criticism is well in the Hilux is a thoroughbred between workplaces and have certainly been a very good reason, the number one seller in its class for some time. As a result, would be the reason that it increases the tried and true formula should further strengthen the already completed the package significantly - going to TRD. Toyota Racing Development is the moniker of the day for a group of motor sport pedigree going back to Australia, at least, more than fifty years. In 1957, Toyopet Crown completed the 47th Rally tap Mobilgear Australia, and years later, perhaps most importantly for us, Corolla won its category two years in a row in Bergen (1968-69). From this modest beginning of the race Toyota Motor success both at home and abroad has been a triumph varied and Giant.

2008 Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo




It is often proof of the road when a car you'll be greeted with "€ € mateâ single car at traffic lights. Even more rare and have a period of up to balance and embrace his car at a crossing, insisting on a handshake and call a legend dead set - halagadora how! Make sure now, May has been partially drunk and green lures, sorry Dash, painting are nothing to hide in the crowd, but this kind of reaction that took place throughout the week â € and n 'loves it. But XR6T not all about what I caress and big smiles - ah, I'm joking, of course it is! In fact, if the conditions are not putting a smile on your face when you either unwashed, hugging trees and singing Kumbayah around the campfire or municipality to take trains placed in his chest, just before shout â € € œclearâ. Yes, this is a good thing. In fact, is better than it is bloody brilliant. Easily the best value for money performance sedan on the market.

2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera




Having left Bugatti in France, I felt that my life was fairly complete. Of course, there are still cars in Formula 1 and hell maybe even can try my luck in a MiG fighter jet a day, but also down here. in Strasbourg flights to Bologna, everything you can think about how I explain to people beautiful Lamborghini yes, Superleggera is fast, but not so quickly. Nothing more excite me, I would like to transform itself into a bitter old man who would rather disappointed by something that was not a Veyron - Yeahâ € law. finally arrived in Bologna and after Anthony's butchery of the Italian language, we managed to source a bus to a hotel that was barely 500 metres from the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata. This small town is covered with posters and Lamborghini can say that the city is proud of its heritage, as it should. Despite what some say, Audi is the owner of Lamborghini is the best thing that happened to the company. have yet Italian soul and passion, but now with German reliability. Utopia is available.

2008 Jaguar XJ V8




The images are simply not the car of justice. In the Jaguar XJ person get their own presence. The floating lines and audacity to seize the contours of the eye, while impressive Leaping Jaguar hood ornament added bite. I stood up for his comments no fewer than five people - accounted for the majority of them were twice my age - something that gives an idea of how this car appeal to buyers. A XJ seems to be a desire and not a purchase easy heart, or a person without much interest in the British marque. I was not all who live in the idea of testing a V8 version of this giant cruise. But after some research, turned out to be a pleasant experience. The all-aluminium (with a weight of only 1.6 tons), with a low capacity V8 (3.5 liters), which XJ spritely very effective and highly combustible. During the test, I have given an average fuel consumption 11-litres/100km, which is very frugal when you take into account the size of the car and think of a V8 engine. Gadgets is rather limited. The screen satellite navigation seems to be almost as old as the mark. The date the design and functionality are in need of an upgrade. The interior design - even if subjective - seems somewhat erratic for me. There are buttons everywhere, and you need to know what we are doing all that before you try to embark on the road and change the fan speed, for example. Alpine's system is also fairly average, which is disappointing for a car of this caliber.

Honda Civic Hybrid Road


Interior room on the other hand, shows that the two vehicles is certainly not a lack of space. It's amazing how much room is available in the Prius and Civic Hybrid. Four people can fit very well, either inside the vehicle. Boot space in the two vehicles was somewhat delayed because the battery packs installed in both cars, but are still very reasonable. The Prius is a battery which is under the floor of the chest, while the Civic hybrid has a battery that runs parallel to it in the back seat and trunk of separation. The Prius has a capacity of 456L mode, while the Civic Hybrid 376L can maintain the value of the cargo. Regarding foreign pleasure of sight, Honda Civic Hybrid help, but you do not see the best. The Civic Hybrid has a very organic research alloy wheels with chrome highlights and hybrid brands. Unlike the Prius, Civic Hybrid uses the extension of the type in the rest of the Civic range, while the Prius uses a completely unique style (which I think is much less attractive). Civic also uses the style Peugeot has invested wipers, which could have been a little better in terms of capacity and functionality. You can also expect to see the light falls in the mirror in the Civic Hybrid, which is connected to the â € ~ key luxury transmitted by the new Civic. Prius, have a very unique which makes its presence known, it is not necessary to check twice to see if the hybrid model or not. In some ways, this is very good, but I think the style might have been more action and less stereotyped hybrid.
