2018 Audi A5/S5 Sportback first drive review

Wacky Germans have found a way to explore every automotive niche car known to man--and came up with a few of their own. 

The product line-up of BMW and Mercedes-Benz has grown to include every fad coupe,sedan, convertible, crossover, coupe-like crossover, hatchback, sedan and veloco-transport, plus multiple versions of the performance of each.











Audi has taken a more measured approach. Yes, the existing standards body style, but Audi is just checking out oddball items once. It came into 2010 with the release of A7.

This mashup sedan and hatchback, Sport back Audi calls it, immediately recognized for the beautiful appearance and quickly put together strong sales increases for mid size A6 brand line up.







For 2018 took an Audi in the idea that compact A4/A5 A5 Sportbackwith range-and more powerful sibling, the S5 Sportback. 

The idea is to add a segment sales increased compact while providing a sexy alternative to the practical choice versus the sedan and coupe.

The result is a car that fits between the Coupe and sedan in terms ofrear seat space, and even the sedan larger than when it comes to general usability. 

Compared with the A5/S5 coupe, Sportback has a 0.4 inch more headroom, guests more room head back 0.9 inches, and 2.4 inches more rear legroom. 

The space head-and legroom are both 0.6 measurement sedan, but the sedan has a 13-cubic-foot trunk, while the Sportback 21.8 cubic feet of space behind his cargo in hatch and that the area offers up to 35 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down open can.

2017 MINI COUNTRYMAN S ALL4 in Best Image Review

Mini has to toe a hard line with its brand identity. Its cars should be stylish, are relatively small, and most importantly, fun to drive. Meet all of these criteria are not that hard to do on a compact hatchback, but a Mini crossover must be a delicate balance of smallness and utility while maintaining that playful personality Mini is known for. That is not an easy task, but the new countryman does not disappoint.








The 2017 Mini countryman is the largest Mini still on 169.8 inches long — that's 8.1 inches longer than the last-gen compatriot and 1.5 inch longer than the Clubman, which shares its platform and the wheel base. In addition, it is larger and wider than his brother Clubman and drive higher this more that crossover-Vibe. The sitting position is also higher than the Clubman is, offering a more impressive view of the road. In the back, the new countryman just 0.1 cubic feet more cargo space than the previous model, but 5.4 cubic feet more space with the rear seats folded down. The cargo space is on par with other small premium crossovers such as the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA and is usable format.

The 2017 Mini Countryman S All4 starts at $31,950, but our tester came with the $6,550 worth of options. But even on $38,500, his countryman is cheaper than its competitors when comparably equipped. It is also the only one with a six-speed manual is available. Countryman is just small enough to deliver on the badge on the hood and big enough to be a practical option for crossover buyers looking for something a little different.

Rolls-Royce builds the world’s most expensive car

Presented at this weekend past 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, dubbed the Sweptail because of its swept back reminiscent of the design used by Rolls-Royce of the 1920s, it is said to have the cost in the vicinity of $12,800,000.




Of course, disclosing the price tag would be crude. However, the CEO of Rolls-Royce Torsten Müller-Otvös believes that it is the most expensive new car ever sold, Autocar reports.


Rolls-Royce design boss Giles Taylor along with customized Rolls-Royce Customization Department worked closely with the customer for a four-year period on the project. Already owner of one-off superyacht and private jets, he approached Rolls-Royce with the desire for a distinctive two-seater grand torpedo that he could add to his collection.






To support Sweptail is a coupe Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead. Mechanisms remain intact, which means there's still a 6.75-liter V-12 under the hood to make 453 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque.This combined with the 8-speed automatic transmission and rear wheel drive.


But all you can see and touch have been replaced with indigenous elements. The front is the largest grid of every Rolls-Royce. Milled from a single piece of aluminum and meticulously hand-polished to a mirror. More aluminum is used to frame the front and back band and buckle. Also on the roof is a large panoramic glass elements.


The Interior of this car on the right has followed a minimalist theme.Premium materials have priority here, resulting in suppression of theequipment to the absolute minimum. Materials including Macassar ebony wood and open-pore wood surface joining Paldaoed and moccasin leather and spice, dark area.


Not the Phantom Drophead coupe rear seat is spacious of wood creates an illuminated glass shelf with lip. This is very polished and put with the trunk rail.

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the most powerful muscle car ever

No one quite knew what to expect when the Dodge Hellcats were introduced for 2015. Magazine covers and YouTube videos were all but assured, but the actual sales?The crystal ball was not exactly clear. 

As it turns out, there is a clear and robust appetite for SRT Chargers and challengers brandishing 707 HP, and apparently enough of a buying public for the same Powertrain slot in a new SUV (or two!), as well. 











Flushed with that kind of success, it is perhaps not surprising that parent Fiat-Chrysler automobiles has let the SRT engineers completely off the chain, them if you want to make it certifiably crazy Challenger SRT Demon who is just too free debuted at astar-studded event for the New York Auto Show.

It's hard to put in perspective how crazy this beast is, but I'll try: that are explicitly designed for drag racing, the Demon is the first street-legal production car that the front wheels of the soil under hard acceleration. 

It has 840 HP and 770 pounds-feet of torque. It will hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, 100 mph in 5.1 seconds and the quarter-mile lights blitz in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph.

It is so fast that it actually banned from drag racing competition, but more on that in a moment.

2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD first Test

2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD can be seen as well. Mazda redesigned best seller all over the world for the years 2017 and if you see by the figures, both heavier and smaller than replacing model-still it is a much better family crossover ever. These are the intangible assets of the Mazda CX-5 is good.





Before we delve too far into what makes new CX-5 exactly youth, let's quickly see the changes. Car, high-quality materials (especially for the top trim CX-5 Grand Touring model as our testers), Mazda's SHIFT, upper class, the exterior of signaling to getnew sheet metal mute sound while more sharp and clean new Audi-style design in the game of ups.

2017 BMW M2 Review LONG-TERM ARRIVALS

Now there is a common opinion in the community car M2 is the best car BMW makes the driver.


We feel the same way. It is strange, then, that we need to play one of the best car drivers 2016 contest support focusing on the M4 line GTS.


Instead, it found itself in a group of 2016 BMW M2 dumping as well, but otherwise an excellent BDC candidate, "leftovers." As good as the car was, the six-speed manual was criticized for long throws and officers feeling ropey.


Also, the Rev matching function of Non defeat (completely closed off except for stability/traction control) is automatically turned off. Unfortunately, the car ended in fifth place is very controversial.




Well, we have provided the best BMW, so we got one again and our Phil was-this time of year-2017 Alpine white BMW M2. 

Rather than a harp with a shifter we opt for a seven-speed double clutch transmission, which adds $2,900 to the car’s $53,495 base price

Like them in some Porsche and Audi sports cars, M DCT the torque converter has two clutches and is not a kind of conventional automatic transmission. 

We have shown that this automated manual is faster than the most chaotic caffeine test driver, But we will be curious to see how they even behave in LA traffic this one m DCT shifts by itself in the drive or at the request of a paddle wheel steering mount shift lever or touch. 

BMW extra points to move with a rotating paddle at the wheel; left paddle shift, right paddle shift. The result of shifting fat lever shifts, encouraging interesting and shifting results. Mentioned the racing car God.

2017 Kia Sorento : One of the most affordable SUVs

The Kia Sorento adds connectivity and safety features for 2017 while remaining one of the most affordable SUVs of its size.

With a length of 15.6 feet, the 2017 Sorento is mid-size and has flexible storage space of up to 73 cubic feet while offering buyers the choice of seating for five or seven people.

The Sorento also is one of the few SUVs with three engine choices — a naturally aspirated four cylinder, a turbo four and a V-6.

The starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price with destination charge for a base, 2017 Sorento L is $26,495 and includes five seats, a 178-horsepower, four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.All Sorentos are equipped with the leading KIA warranty that includes a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain coverage and limited coverage, the basic vehicle for five years/60,000 miles.
2017 Sorento is a recommended purchase of Consumer Reports magazine, where it was rated four out of five expected reliability. It also has received five out of five stars for occupant protection in front and side crash tests by the Federal Government.

Sorento offers a good blend of strength, comfort and functionality without much fuss.


Beyond that have a main class. In plastic, either on the dashboard and doors make even basic SUV feels more expensive than it is. Controls and gauges well placed, and there are several ways to set up the second and third rows of folding chairs to accommodate cargo.

Kia’s excellent surround view camera that shows the driver views all around the car is especially useful and makes parking and neck-straining less stressful. However, a rearview camera is not standard on the base model. Buyers must move up to the 2017 Sorento LX, which carries a $27,795 starting retail price, to get a camera.

Still, the starting prices remain thousands of dollars less than the $31,590 starting retail price for a 2017 Toyota Highlander and the $29,845 starting retail price for a 2017 Ford Edge SUV.



The list of other features is lengthy, and buyers can outfit the Sorento to the level of a luxury vehicle.

The test Sorento, for example, was the top SXL AWD model that had Nappa leather-covered seats, 19-inch, chrome wheels, panoramic sunroof, a premium surround sound system and navigation system with 8-inch display screen, among other things. Safety features included autonomous emergency braking if the Sorento detected an imminent collision. The car is also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The SXL AWD comes only with the 290-horsepower V-6 and is pricey, though, at $46,795.

The 3.3-liter, double overhead cam V-6 powered the Sorento tester strongly and made the SUV feel lighter than its 4,300-plus pounds.

With peak torque of 252 foot-pounds at 5,300 rpm, the vehicle comfortably got up to highway speeds while merging and easily passed other cars.

Fuel mileage in combined city/highway travel averaged the federal government’s rating of 19 miles per gallon, for a total range of 358 miles on a single, 18.8-gallon tank of gasoline.

Passengers didn’t feel many bumps on the roads, but they noticed some body roll as the Sorento went through curves and turns at good speed. The ride was quieter than expected, and all but the third row felt comfortable for adults. Legroom is just 31.7 inches in the third row, and seat cushions are short and situated close to the floor, so this area is best used by children. When not in use, the third row stows flat into the floor.
