Crash Test Results: Midsize Cars are Improving
2008-04-11 23:46:57
Cars are getting safer, particularly from frontal and side impact crashes. Rear impacts remain a significant problem. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an auto safety lab operated by a consortium of car insurance companies, has released its latest crash test results for midsize cars. IIHS tests are often considered tougher to pass than government crash testing, yet most of the cars tested did very well in frontal and side crashes.Kicking Tires reports "tests on seven midsize sedans" showed that, while most "had improved in side crash tests, they still lacked enough head protection to earn top marks in rear crash tests." Tested sedans included 2008 models of the Chevrolet Malibu, Dodge Avenger, Infiniti G35, Kia Optima, Mitsubishi Galant, Nissan Altima and Saturn Aura. "On

4 more ways to cut the cost of your car insurance The cost of motor insurance can vary hugely. There are many factors that can influence the premium you have to pay. Some you will have little or no influence on such as your age and experience or previous motoring offences. Others you can work on to reduce premiums. Your excess, the type of car you drive, its security system and how it's used for example.The type of vehicle you driveThe more powerful the engine, the more expensive the car is to repair, and the more likely it is to be broken into or stolen will all affect the premium you have to pay.The insurance industry has some standard car ratings, from one to twenty.

Road Safety: The Uncrashable Car?
2008-04-13 07:43:18
Road Safety : The Uncrashable Car?The largest road safety research project ever launched in Europe will usher in a series of powerful road-safety systems for European cars. But, in the long term, its basic, experimental research could lead to a car that is virtually uncrashable.A truck exits suddenly from a side road, directly into your lane only dozens of metres ahead. Suddenly, your car issues a warning, starts applying the brakes and attempts to take evasive action. Realising impact is unavoidable; in-car safety systems pre-tension the safety belts and arm the airbag, timing its release to the second before impact.Such is the promise of the uncrashable car, coming to a dealer near you in the perhaps not-too-distant future. The system is part of the basic research undertaken by the larges

New Muscle Cars
2008-04-16 05:34:59
New Muscle CarsEven from the time that Ford showed the way with the first classic "muscle car" in 1964 in the form of the Mustang, America has been in love. Pretty well everyone has a favorite classic muscle car. Yours might be the 1964 Dodge Dart 426 Max Wedge 426 Hemi, 1966 Dodge Coronet 426-S, 1968 Ford Torino Cobra, 1968 Plymouth/Dodge intermediates with 426 Hemi, 1967 Ford Fairlane Cobra, 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass W-31 or the Australian 1973 XA Falcon GS Ute 302.With the power that these cars offered, the Ford Mustang became the top selling car for many of the years during its "performance era." Times would seem to be very different, though, and there are many factors that would seem to dampen the muscle car's popularity. High fuel prices and strict Federal regulations would seem to be

safety concern addressed by nissancrash rating of the Nissan Navara ute from one star to three only by a software update Euro NCAP tests highlighted serious safety concerns in a head-on collision at 60kmh by the Japanese makersThe one- star rating was struck through (effectively reducing the rating) due to the late firing of the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners.In a later test, however, Euro NCAP said the airbag malfunction had been effectively addressed, "removing the high risk of life-threatening injuries seen in the earlier test". The Navara was not the only ute to score poorly.The Holden Rodeo scored two stars and it also had a strike through as the testers found readings in the neck and chest of the test dummy "indicated an unacceptably high risk of life- threatening injury".

Electric Hybrid Cars Vs HHO Gas Hybrid Cars - Which Is Better?
2008-04-24 11:46:39
Electric Hybrid Cars Vs HHO Gas Hybrid Cars - Which Is Better?Hybrid cars are the hit of the day in the automotive business. And that's understandable. The rising oil prices of today - at the time of this writing, they're 8 times what they were in 1999,and twice what they were just over a year ago - drag the gasoline and diesel fuel prices up with them. Two common hybrid car options exist today.Electric hybrid vehicles use an electric motor alongside the gasoline or diesel motor. The electric motor kicks in when your car is idle (for example, standing at a red traffic light), replacing the regular internal combustion motor in action, and as a result increasing your car's fuel economy and reducing emissions which are bad for your health and the environment in general. This is the type of hy

Best Small Cars for 2008Small cars come in all shapes but limited sizes - how much variation can you get on a theme you might ask so here is our guide to the best that 2008 has to offer.One of the most keenly received small cars has been the Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 Club. This was one of the leading cars of any class in 2007 and it continues to hold its own in the super-mini category. It is keenly priced but mixes this with a big-car feel that has enticed critics for many months.Though classed as a super-mini this car comfortably sits four people and has so much space that it feels like a small family car - even the boot has plenty of space - but you wouldn't use it to take a family of four on holiday for two weeks. A nice little quirk is the removable floor that gives that little extra room.A l

Avoid Highway Robbery by Using The New Crude --WATERHERE'S THE BAD NEWS. Engines waste gasoline! Up to 80% of the high-priced gas that you pump doesn't get you anywhere because it goes UNBURNED to the catalytic converter. That means you are getting 0 MPG (zero, zilch, nada) from most of the over-priced gasoline you pump into your tank. WHY DO COMBUSTION ENGINES WASTE SO MUCH GAS?

Dodge Chrysler 2.7L Engine Problems, Oil Sludge, Defects and FailureFrom 1998-2000 2.7L Engines are prone to premature catastrophic engine failure due to a defectively designed Timing Chain Tensioner that Chrysler quietly redesigned. Unfortunately, many consumers have had to pay out of their own pockets for this while Chrysler avoids responsibility. From 1998-2004 Dodge / Chrysler 2.7L Engines are prone to Oil Sludge often caused by internal coolant leakage that has to do with the design of the Water Pump that allows coolant to enter the Engine over time and cause oil sludge, experts at a well known remanufacturing company say. The second common cause of engine sludge is from poor oil circulation caused by oil passages that are too narrow causing the oil to wear down more rapidly unlike no
