Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is a type of vehicle that luxury and elegance, even all the people interested to have it. but this is very limited types of vehicles may number only about 500 units. Under the hood is a powerful 8 cylinder 4.7-liter that produces 450 HP, matched with a 6 speed robotic gearbox.
What's more, the gearbox mounted on the rear axle weight distribution helps deliver the perfect 8C, while double-wishbone suspension features front and rear. Large ventilated disc brakes and 20-inch alloys give the amazing stopping power.

And by running a V8 engine, there is no lack of performance. Alfa says it will do 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 190mph. As life spins into the clear that the engine and exhaust notes are at the heart of the experience 8C. The voice is modeled on past Alfa racer, and while it is never rude, it is both typical and objectives.

Impressive, almost no shake in the chassis, and the car never felt overwhelmed by the large amouts lateral grip that you can utilize. Carbon ceramic brakes offer consistent stopping power of a very high revs, but the pedal should be pressed hard to feel their full effect.

Most Mini Cooper

Top Gear had us believe that the old Audi TT is the most popular hairdressers’ car in Britain, but we’re sorry to inform you that we’ve all been misled.

Times have changed and the TT look a bit more manly unisex now, so people who know everything about hairspray and tell you to use more conditioner have had to jump into something else.

According to a new study made available today by UK women's car insurance specialist Diamond, the title of most popular car among hairdressers goes to the MINI One hatchback. What’s more, BMW’s brand for all things retro has got one more car in the top five, and that’s the MINI Cooper, which is basically the same thing, but a bit more expensive and with bigger wheels. So hairdressers love all things MINI.

White Mini Cooper

The UK insurance firm came to this conclusion after looking at data from over 18,000 hairdressers in Britain. The company said the MINI One is three-and-a-half times more likely to be driven by someone working as a hairdresser than everyone else. This last bit of information has started playing with our heads, and now we just cant help it but ask every MINI owner about split ends and irritated scalps.

Blue Mini Cooper

Next up on the list of hairdressers cars is the Vauxhall Tigra, the outgoing VW Beetle both of which are said to be more than three times as popular with hairdressers than the rest of the UK. The fourth and fifth place finishers of the study are the Ford Ka and Mini Cooper.

Subaru Impreza WRX with wider body design

subaru
Subaru Impreza sti

Highs: Acceleration, agility, braking, ride, four-door practicality, controls.
Lows: Automatic climate control modulation, reliability.
The Impreza's engine provides adequate acceleration, but the four-speed automatic isn't as slick as those from some competitors. The standard AWD hurts fuel economy and performance. Its 24 mpg overall for the sedan is low for a small car. The ride is commendably compliant and handling remains agile. The cabin is relatively roomy, particularly the rear seats. Most models are available in hatchback form. The WRX and STI are sportier, high-performance versions with turbocharged engines and stiffer suspensions. Standard ESC and good IIHS crash-test scores are big pluses. A redesigned Impreza is due this fall.

2011 Subaru Impreza wrx Review

The new Impreza WRX has a wider front and rear. It is also fitted with 17-inch alloy rims matched with 235/45R17 tires. Indeed the 2011 WRX is ready to pounce on the road compared to its older sibling. The 4-door and the hatchback versions still sport the turbocharged 2.5L engine that can give out 265 horsepower. The engine is couped with a manual gearbox with a 5-speed configuration. The wider body resulted to additional 33 pounds but it really doesn’t affect the performance of the car. The sedan will be 6.5 inches longer and logically offers more storage space than the hatchback version. The design team also injected sharper bumper corners, wider fog lamps that are blacked out to blend well with the new profile. Some aerodynamic features were also added like the front spoiler on the lower lip.

New Peugeot 508 SW 1.6 HDi 112

Style In Street

The new Peugeot 508 has already shown itself to be a car of some class in a crowded segment dominated by mainstream, big-name talent, but the real battle for mid-sized saloon buyers is fought at entry level into the fleet market, where low emissions, standard equipment and economy score volume sales. Arguably the firm’s range champion is the 1.6 e-HDi version, which utilises a micro-hybrid stop-start system aligned with an automatic six-speed, electronically controlled gearbox to return 109g/km. Unfortunately, experience has taught us that the EGC transmission is as ponderous as a change in seasons and probably best avoided.

Rangement Centre Peugeot

Consequently, this model, which replaces the EGC with a five-speed manual and retains PSA’s familiar 1.6-litre diesel engine (although it loses stop-start), should earn its own admirers.
Even without its magic ‘e’, the downsized HDi unit still manages to dredge 60mpg from the saloon’s not inconsiderable bulk while emitting 124g/km of CO2. While the 508 has certainly benefitted from a substantial leg-up in general refinement over its predecessor, this model in particular cannot quite isolate the scratchy rumble of its vocal powerplant.
It takes a fair old prod to tempt the engine into overcoming inertia, but once in motion its modest 177lb ft of torque is available from 1500rpm, making the big Peugeot seem a shade more sprightly than its 0-62mph time of 11.3sec suggests.

Interior

There’s little point in working the 508 too hard, though; the four-cylinder unit revs cleanly enough, but as every one of its 112 horses is spent by 3600rpm it’s hardly necessary to force it towards a spluttery redline. Far better to keep the 508’s curiously old-fashioned, long-throw gearbox in the low-rev sweet spot and reap the rewards of a respectable chassis and half-decent ride comfort. Do this for long enough and the 508 Active will almost have you convinced.

Coffre

But unfortunately for Peugeot, this end of the market is a vicious numbers game, and the similarly equipped Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Hyundai i40 all offer lower emissions and marginally better mileage for the money. Sadly for the 508, they are also all arguably better to drive.
