Car Review – 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

July 15th, 2010

This is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR. It’s quite literally the best blend of performance on the track while giving you a excellent ride for everyday driving, and it definitely proves itself every time you step on the gas. Can I get 5 of these to go please?

The new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is offered in two different versions, one being the GSR which only has a five speed manual transmission, Recaro Sports Seats and Enkei Wheels. You can also get the optional spoiler, the HID headlights and the upgraded sound system. These are all nice and everything, but if you had that extra thousand available, spend on it on what i’m driving today. » Read more: Car Review – 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

July 13th, 2010

Buying a new car is not that simple. There are so many issues which one has to keep in mind before going to have a deal with the car dealer. Buying a car at economical price is a major concern. Nowadays, the emphasis of most of the dealers is on their profit margins rather than satisfaction of their customers. It is important for you to keep your interests prior to anything else and avoid common traps that can cost you a lot of money.

Here are given some of the useful tips while buying a new car which helps you save some of your money:

1. It is necessary to have a complete homework before going to showroom. If you go without any homework you might fell victim of the dealerships. They are readily waiting for the unprepared customers to prey. In this way the dealerships take control over the buying process and you can just behave like a puppet.

Whichever models you are considering, you need a lot of information about them. You need to read the reviews, have a good knowledge of fuel consumption, pricing, safety and reliability of those models. The key fact in purchasing a car is its test drive.

Car Review – Hyundai Excel 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, X3

July 10th, 2010

This is a used car review for the Hyundai Excel X3 Sprint. A perfect first car that is great on fuel and cheap to fix.

I purchased this car in 2007, 10 years after its manufacture in 1997. It had 150,000 km’s on the clock and was fair condition, inside and out.

As a young driver, this car was purchased to commute to school and work. It is excellent on fuel around town and on highways at a speed of no more than 110 km/s. I once drove from the Gold Coast to Bundaberg (about 6 hours or 442 km’s ) in less than half a tank of petrol from a full tank.

I owned this car for 3 years and I never had any major problems with it. I did have to replace the hydraulic clutch shortly after buying it. It’s not an expensive part and should only take a mechanic an hour to replace. The only other problem I had was with the starter motor which was cheap and easy to replace myself. The car started much faster after this as it used to wind up a little. » Read more: Car Review – Hyundai Excel 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, X3
