Vauxhall Corsa: Stylish & Sensible

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Despite the almost obsessive protestations to convince the general public to leave their cars at home and step aboard public transport, the Government and local authorities don’t exactly make it the convenient and cost-friendly solution that the majority of us hope for. The prices on public transport consistently creep up and the quality and frequency of service invariably slump down. So what most of us are looking for is cost-effective transport, which is easily maintained, reliable and isn’t full of litter or smells like a particularly abused dustbin. What the general public are crying out for is a series of cars that are suitable for city driving; great handling, good performance at low revs, economical and ecologically sound. With some research I found, with relative ease, the cars that adeqautely fit the brief.

Vauxhall Corsa VXR: Sporty And Sexy

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

The Vauxhall Corsa has seamlessly eased itself into the Great British consciousness by providing reasonably priced, stylish and ecologically sound motoring. In the small hatchback market, the target demographic is not often considered to be looking for a high performance vehicle; they are more interested in the MPG ratios and how much CO2 is leaking out of the exhaust. The standard Corsa fills this niche admirably and has become a consistent and popular seller throughout the country. Vauxhall, however, have had a change of heart with the Corsa’s regulation blueprints and have released something of a caged beast.

Honda Accord – Moving Away From Elderly Stereotypes

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Some cars are unjustly lumped into owner stereotypes. The Ford Ka will forever be associated with young women’s first cars, the Mondeo will always nod toward the middle-of-the-road family man and the BMW M3 will always belong to smug executives. There is one categorisation that has stuck in my mind and been noticeable during car journeys; the Honda Accord is a car for pensioners.

Anyone who is familiar with the British roads will have been stuck, frustrated, behind an elderly person in an Accord, who insists on doing 30mph in a national speed limit area with no sign of moving out of 3rd gear. After about 10 miles of this, you can feel your anger welling up inside you like a volcano that’s about to blow and you make a risky manoeuvre to overtake which results in you either crashing headlong into an oncoming lorry, or careening off into a ditch . Either way the Honda Accord driver will tut and shake his head as he slowly drives past your lifeless corpse.
