The Art & Spirit of the Exotic Sports Car

Anyone who has seen the Lamborghini Cars Reventon or the Aston Martin DBS knows that unmistakable feeling. It’s the thrill & the allure of the exotic sports car, overhauled & updated for the 21st century. Since their inception, sports cars have continually pushed the boundaries of both engineering & art. These are the cars that exemplify speed, power and beauty.

Alfa Romeo is the Grandfather of Exotic Sports Cars. Alfa Romeo is first began producing race cars in Milan, Italy in 1910. Their first endeavor, the HP 24, turned some heads with its superior speed and handling. Chief Designer Giuseppe Merosi worked on all Alfa Romeo models from 1910 to 1923. When Merosi retired, race car driver Enzo Ferrari persuaded Vittorio Jano to leave Fiat and take over Merosi’s work.

In 1925, Alfa Romeo unveiled the P2 Grand Prix Car, Jano’s first car with Romeo and widely considered the first “supercar.” The P2 was powered by a straight-8 cylinder supercharged engine, and placed first in 14 Grand Pix races between 1924 and 1930. Today, the P2 Grand Prix is considered one of the most rarified of the collectible antique cars, with less than a dozen still intact.

Most small hatchbacks made you choose between hauling 4 passengers or lots of cargo. The Honda Fit is unique in that it lets you haul both at the same time. Though many micro-hatchbacks have hit the market for 2007, no other divvys up space between front seat, back seat and cargo bay quite as well as the Honda Fit does. Clearly this this car was designed from the inside out, and clever tricks such as putting the gas tank in the center of the car, rather than the usual location under the back seat, allow the Fit owners to stuff more stuff into their cars than owners of other small hatches.

The Fit isn't as good looking as the Toyota Yaris or as enjoyable to drove as the Suzuki SX4, but it's capable and economical, and offers tall drivers lots of space to stretch out. No surprise that the Fit has been drawing buyers out of larger cars and even SUVs ever since it went on sale.

YONKERS, N.Y., February 2, 2009: The newly-redesigned Honda Fit outpointed competitors including the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa in Consumer Reports' tests of six subcompacts and small sedans for the March issue. The Fit remains CR's highest-rated subcompact.

The Honda Fit became a hot-selling vehicle when gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon. A redesigned and slightly larger Fit arrived last fall, and it improves on the space-efficient formula that made the last one such a hit with buyers.

"The Fit seems roomier on the inside than you might expect, with an interior that is unusually versatile and flexible--and cargo capacity rivaling that of a small SUV," said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut. "Lightness and agility make the Fit fun to drive, the powertrain is smooth and willing, and fuel economy is enviable."

Consumer Reports tested two trim lines of the Fit, a base model with an automatic transmission and a manual upscale Sport model, both of which earned "Very Good" overall road test scores. CR also tested two other subcompacts--a base model Toyota Yaris and a Chevrolet Aveo5, both of which scored "Good" overall, and two small sedans--the Suzuki SX4 and Nissan Versa, both of which were rated Very Good overall.

Prices for the six cars in CR's tests range from $16,020 for the base Fit to $17,378 for the Suzuki SX4.

Full tests and ratings of the test group appear in the March issue of Consumer Reports, which goes on sale February 3. The reports are also available to subscribers of www.ConsumerReports.org.

The Fit and the SX4 are the only vehicles from this month's test group that are Recommended by Consumer Reports. CR only Recommends vehicles that have performed well in its tests, have at least average predicted reliability based on CR's Annual Car Reliability Survey of its more than seven million print and web subscribers, and performed at least adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test.

The Versa sedan's reliability is much below average; reliability for the hatchback Versa has been average. The Aveo and Yaris scored too low in CR's tests to be recommended.

CR's engineers found the new Fit the most practical and enjoyable car in this month's group. It has easy cabin access and a panoramic view out. It also comes well equipped and has comfortable seating. The base Fit ($16,020 Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price as tested) and Fit Sport ($16,730 MSRP as tested) are powered by a 118-hp, 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine that delivers quick takeoffs but doesn't brim with power. The Fit Sport's easy shifting five-speed manual transmission adds sportiness; the five-speed automatic in the base model is more relaxed, with lower engine speed on the highway. Braking was rated Very Good. Fuel economy is an impressive 33 mpg overall in the Fit Sport and 30 mpg overall in the base model with the automatic.

The SX4 LE was conceived as a subcompact, but its price and 26 mpg overall fuel economy makes it compete more closely with cars one size bigger. The SX4 has a stiff, choppy ride on rough and smooth roads. Steering isn't quick or communicative. The SX4 LE ($17,378 MSRP as tested) is equipped with a 143-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four cylinder engine that is mated to a fairly smooth four-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration feels a bit lethargic. Braking performance is very good.

The Versa has a nicely made, well-appointed interior. It rides pleasantly and quietly, and the powertrain feels refined. The rear seat is enormous for a small car. Handling is sound but not really agile, and it's tricky at the limits. Its 27-mpg overall fuel economy is not impressive. The Versa 1.8S ($16,130 MSRP as tested) is powered by a 122-horsepower, 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that accelerates adequately; the four-speed automatic is smooth and responsive. Interior storage is modest, but trunk space is quite generous. Braking is very good.

The compactly-sized Yaris is ideal for tight spaces, making it a good city car. Its gets very good fuel economy at 30 mpg overall and has some nice interior touches such as a rear seat that adjusts fore and aft and three glove compartments. Handling is responsive but can be tricky at the limits. The base model Yaris ($16,095 MSRP as tested) is equipped with a 106-horsepower, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that feels lively enough around town but lacks reserve power for the highway. The four-speed automatic shifts smoothly. Braking is excellent.

Despite recent updates, the Aveo remains unpleasant, outdated, and overpriced for what you get. Acceleration is slow, the engine is rough and noisy, handling is clumsy, and the ride is jumpy. Fuel economy at 26 mpg overall is poor for its class, and reliability has been below average. The Aveo51LT ($16,470 MSRP as tested) is powered by an anemic 106-horsepower, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine, and the four-speed automatic transmission isn't very responsive. Braking performance is very good.

the honda civic cars

After much research, testing and comparing I've come to a decision regarding my next vehicle. It will be the Honda Civic Sport GT, 1.8 VTEC but in metallic black.

I had ruled out the original Civic due to reports about the ride quality, gearbox and that plastic feel. However a stint in a BMW Series 1 confirmed just how plastic cars can become. Taking out the GT I was very impressed with the viewpoint, drivers positions and room for everyone else in the car. This particular model has a variety of options that the BMW could not offer, or could as extras - pushing its price towards £22k.

I was also disappointed with the ride quality of the BMW, the energy saving device which cuts off the engine when you stop and lift the clutch seems a quick fix. The Honda in comparison offers the same fuel consumption and a much better engine from what I could experience.

The whole process has taken longer than I thought, so with us near to the 57 plate we've decided to hold off until they are released. Did manage to obtain some rival quotes from garages and ordering today would probably guarantee you one for late July/early August. So there is little point ordering one now when the new plate is only a month later.

Japanese manufacturer Honda will unveil the Compact Renaissance Zero (CR-Z) concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month.

This compact and lightweight sports car could pave the way for the return of the CR-X, a compact front wheel drive sports car from the mid 1980's.

(not the Pria)
Everything is counter-intuitive about the car; or, more correctly, it is continually revealing. You think you know all about it but when actually in the car there is sudden realization.

Starting. You push a button. Now, I'm old. I remember push button start cars. Push the button and a long rrugh, rrugh, rrugh as the engine tries to start. In the hybrid -- push the button and the dash lights come on. No engine noise. Your first thought is that the engine is dead (years of personal experience with dead batteries -- Cdn winters, you know). But, it is all correct.

Step on the gas. The engine kicks in to assist the electric engine for the acceleration and it finally sounds like a real car.

Braking. The mass of the car is used to generate free electricity (note previous two FREE electricity posts: one, two) which is stored in the car's batteries.

Stopped. The cars stops and there is perfect silence. Now the car has stalled. NOT. The gas engine simply stops because it isn't needed when stopped. No smog! But weird. Every stop had me looking for the starter because years of cheap car ownership has conditioned my mind to thinking, "that's a stall." But, again, perfectly normal.

A hybrid car. They should be compulsory. That's the kind of car to have. The argumentative no-sayers can prove beyond their doubt that they are not all that cost effective (if at all) but a single drive has me convinced. The reduction in air pollution alone, and the savings in gas ... I'm convinced.

Yes, it pushes problems "down the pipe" (or is it "up" in this case?). But it probably makes these problems more manageable.
