Hyundai ix35 Review

There's an old saying that "those who rest on their laurels get prickles in their bum." I'm not sure who came up with it, but there's an element of truth in it for the ix35, Hyundai's replacement for the Tucson.

APPEARANCE

It's not in the European styling department, as the new ix35 - in our case a Highlander - looks sharp and modern, rakish and almost curvaceous from the outside. The ix35 is nothing like its boxy predecessor, although it still looks a little big for its 18in alloy wheels, but that's something the styling departments at several Korean brands are overcoming.

INTERIOR AND EQUIPMENT

Inside, the Highlander has comfortable leather seats and enough room in the back to accommodate two adults without any real concerns - with an easy entry height as well.

The ix35 Highlander gets plenty of features - automatic headlights, dual front, side and curtain airbags, helm-mounted controls for the sound system and cruise control, full length glass sunroof, keyless entry and go, iPod plug-in capability and dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and an auto-dimming rear vision mirror.

The mirror also has the reversing camera's display within it, which is a small but clear LCD display - polarising sunglasses can make it a bit fuzzy but with familiarity it becomes easier to use.

Something of an oversight - that the Korean carmaker says it's addressing - is the absence of Bluetooth as standard. Given all the other fruit on the features list it seems odd that something that is fast becoming mandatory - and worthwhile if you don't want to blow 3 points and more than $200 - isn't included as standard on the range-topping model.

The top-spec sound system puts out a reasonable noise, but was let down by a temperamental 3.5mm auxiliary input jack and a vibration in the right rear door.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSIONS
The ix35 flagship is only available in automatic with the two-litre R-Series turbodiesel, which produces a healthy 135kW at 4000rpm and 392Nm between 1800 and 2500rpm.

The little diesel is a little chuggy at idle when cold but improves with temperature, displaying a lively demeanour - it has a bit of lag as pressure builds through the turbo system but once it has composed itself there's strong low-down grunt that doesn't taper off in a hurry.

Hyundai claims a combined 7.5 litres per 100km, but the trip computer returned a metropolitan-based 9.3litres per 100km. That offers a 600-700km range, which is a little on the low side for modern-day diesels, thanks to its tiny 55-litre fuel tank.

The six-speed auto is smooth but sometimes is a little tardy, overall the drivetrain was one of the highlights.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEMS

The ix35 runs an electronic AWD system automatically controls front to rear power distribution depending on driving conditions, running front-wheel drive most of the time - meaning its a reactive system.

The driver has the ability to lock it into 50/50 mode, but given the low-slung nature of the wagon and its road-biased rubber, A-grade dirt roads and hard-packed beaches would be about as far off road as you'd want to go in this Korean wagon.

DRIVING

Ride quality is one of the areas where it seems Hyundai might have skimped a little, as it felt a little choppy on broken suburban bitumen; body control is acceptable and the over-assisted numb steering (which lacks reach adjustment) is easy enough to live with, but some more control and compliance is needed.

A little design niggle that made itself obvious at night was the rear eye-level brake lights, which  reflects heavily on the rear windscreen at night, when the headlights also showed that they aren't up to par.

There's much to like about the ix35 but some elements don't feel like as much forward progress has been made - particularly in light of the brand's improvements in other segments.

SCORE: 70/100

Mazda CX-5 Akera Review

Mazda's CX-5 is a runaway sales success. They're everywhere, bought by young 'uns and not-so young 'uns in vast numbers. But chart success is not always a hallmark of quality, as a brief glance at what passes for a music chart will attest.

The CX-5, though is different. Along with its cheery sales numbers comes handsome looks, some clever tech and a reputation for ride and handling. The top-spec Akera though is a test – priced where the Germans start (Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA), it has to fight badge snobbery as well as a crowded field from Japan and Korea.

VALUE

The CX-5 range starts at a very modest $27,880 for a two-wheel drive manual petrol 2.0-litre and goes all the way to nearly $50,000 for the diesel Akera. This petrol Akera is the last stop before that high water mark, weighing in at $46,570.

The Akera's long list of standard features include leather interior, keyless entry, nine-speaker Bose-branded stereo with Bluetooth and USB, reversing camera and parking sensors all round, cruise control and a cluster of sensors inside the windscreen for auto-wipers, headlights and lane departure warning.

The headlights are of the adaptive bi-xenon variety (and very good, too), the seats up front are electrically adjustable, heated and have two memory slots.

DESIGN

The Mazda CX5 is a lot of car and the Akera's big 19-inch wheels add to that big look. Sadly, its rather lovely styling causes a couple of little problems. The first is that over the shoulder, you can't see a thing through those tiny windows. On the Akera, blind spot monitoring is a very welcome addition.

Secondly, the rear doors are not an easy proposition for smaller kids. They don't open very wide and it's a bit of a climb up. Once they're in, though, there's plenty of space and they sit up nice and high and they can easily see out.

It's not bad in here, but a car that costs the same as an Audi Q3 or a BMW X1 could do with a bit more luxury than what's on offer.

Having said that, it's all perfectly functional. It just doesn't feel all that special. In its defence, neither does the X1.

It isn't the biggest inside, either. On a hardware trip to gather a lot of wood, our long-term Hyundai ix35 fitted more in. The Mazda does have the better finish by a country mile, better than Honda, Hyundai, Kia or Ford and not far away from the Germans.

SAFETY

ABS, dynamic and stability control, six airbags, city brake assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring all add up to five ANCAP stars.

INFOTAINMENT

The nine-speaker stereo is unbelievably slow when plugging in an iPhone. You get a swirly thing on the screen and whatever you choose on the device is not reflected on the screen and the audio matches neither what you chose on the device nor what's displayed car's screen. Which is, to say the least, perplexing.

That screen isn't really big or smart enough for you to use, it's actually quite fiddly. Once you've deciphered it, though, it's not bad and sounds quite good. Needs work, though.

ENGINE / TRANSMISSION

The Akera is powered by the larger SkyActiv 2.5-litre four-cylinder. There's no turbo, but it pushes out 138kW and and 250Nm through all four wheels and with a very good six-speed automatic.

Mazda claims a combined fuel figure, aided by stop-start, of 7.2L/100km but this seems a distant possibility with our 12.2L/100km figure that didn't include an undue amount of hard acceleration.

DRIVING

The CX-5 is without doubt one of the better SUVs and holds up pretty well against a lot of lower-slung sedans.

The power and torque figures don't suggest it, but together they do an impressive job of pushing the 1650kg Akera down the road at a very decent pace. The transmission is very responsive to the right foot and there's some real fun to be had behind the wheel.

Passengers will be very happy with the good ride and lack of body roll that one or two competitors suffer from (Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester). On the freeway, they will also appreciate the quietness of the engine and the well-suppressed wind and tyre noise.

From the driver's seat, you could be driving a well-sorted hatchback with some kind of clever dimension-shifting windscreen. It is hard to believe it's a high-riding SUV, which is quite an achievement.

The wheel is well-weighted for the most part, so banging around the 'burbs is never going to cause the CX-5 any trouble. The throttle is pretty soft to aid smooth progress but on the plus side, this means that there won't be any embarrassing lurching when it wakes from stop-start.

VERDICT

The Akera's biggest problem is the price. Up at the $45,000 mark, it's not out of line to expect a bit more plushness. Aside from that, it is packed full of stuff, including a very decent set of safety features.

Price aside, it's definitely one of the top three SUVs for anyone's list and its dynamic abilities more than justify how many of these cars that fly out of Mazda showrooms. There's a few flaws, but none fatal or even significant for that matter.

It looks good, drives well and does the job without looking like a box on wheels. More to the point, it does the job just as well as the European, Japanese and Korean competitors, if not better.

Bugatti Veyron Review

One quickly run out of superlatives when trying to describe the Bugatti Veyron. I'm not even sure if we should use the word "car" to refer to such a monster. Endowed with absolute power and a maximum speed of scary, the Veyron looks and sounds like it just came out of some possible future inhabited by giant gas pump. 

 50 years after the death of Ettore Bugatti, Volkswagen uses the magic wand to evoke the legendary company, and to say the least, the German car manufacturers do the job mindblowing.


Fan motor will directly take you to the mythical Bugatti Royale from the 1930s, a colossal and majestic work, sold at high prices so that only three people were able to afford it at the time. The Royale turned out to be one of the rarest cars and prestigious of all time, but despite record-breaking appearance, silhouette endless and fairy-like being on top of all the symbols of luxury unequivocable able to make a Rolls Royce look like your everyday sedan. Instead of trying to match the extraordinary legacy with Royale, back Volkswagen decided to seek inspiration in the history of racing Bugatti Veyron to design, the right to use the name of a famous driver who won at Le Mans in 1939 behind the wheel of a Bugatti Type 57.

We have to ride this incredible vehicle for several miles at a country club parking lot of San Diego. It's easy to feel intimidated by this incredible machine, so we carefully and promptly handed back to the official teachers, the French race car driver PierHenri Raphanel.

Veyron is unbeatable. Wide shape and very large sets it apart from other supercars like the Mercedes McLaren SLR lean or angle Ferrari Enzo. But the real thrill comes from unmatched performance Veyron: the engine delivers 1,001 hp and a top speed of 250 mph neighbor, the new Bugatti fly over the road like a rocket in the sky in the morning. Veyron goes from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, which is not less than one second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Pedal to the metal, you can reach 200 mph in less than 15 seconds. This is the first in the field of street-legal vehicles, and you have to steal a car Champ had a chance to catch up with the Veyron. Frankly, at the end of the day, I still would not put a dollar on you.

Revolutionary techniques involved in making Bugatti 21st. To collect 1,001 horsepower necessary to create a new automotive legend, Volkswagen has designed the 8-liter W16 engine by mating two V8s narrow angle. The peak torque of 922 pounds / ft at 2200 rpm No fewer than four turbochargers decoration powerhouse bustle and engineers have to come up with a dual-clutch seven-speed specifically to allow all this wild energy is transferred to the road. Needless to say, fuel efficiency has never been a problem in the process, and you will be pleased to know that the Bugatti Veyron has given new meaning to the term gas-guzzler to settle for a little more than 2 miles per gallon on top speed. In this configuration, the tank will go from full to empty in less than 12 minutes. All kinds of rumors surrounding this incredible ride: to push hard on this monster will make one set of tires lasted about 125 miles.

It took several years of trial and error to achieve the final version of the Bugatti Veyron. Launched by flamboyant CEO Ferdinand Piëch in 1999, the project began with a prototype equipped with a W18 engine (three sides flatV6 by side).

Soon, engineers realized that they needed a more compact structure, and W16 adopted and installed in mid-rear position. Fine tuning of the animals is a long and difficult task, and many incidents occurred during testing. The lack of stability at high speeds even trigger accidents and damage to the prototype. In 2003, Piëch was replaced by Bernd Pischetsrieder at the helm of Volkswagen, and the new leadership took the project back to the drawing board. Under the supervision of the engineer Wolfgang Shreiber, Veyron becomes more stable and drivable. Gordon Murray, the father of the famous and brilliant of astounding McLaren F1 of the early 90's who in the past have strongly criticized the initial concept and prototype Veyron, recently revealed his thoughts on the final version of the Bugatti: "One thing that is really good, and I just never expected this, is that it changed direction. it almost does not feel heavy. Driving on the circuit I expected a sack of cement, but you really can throw it at tight chicanes. "

Only 300 Bugatti Veyrons will be conducted over the next five years. It will cost no less than $ 1.5 million to get your hands on one of them, but apparently, Bugatti has received 70 firm orders. In a classy move, Volkswagen Bugatti moved back to the original headquarters in Saint Jean Castle Ettore in Molsheim, Alsace, and the company raised even have to increase its production in 2006 to meet demand. Believe it or not, all in all, the Veyron is a good bargain: the cost of production far exceeds the sale price. Here are the steps honorable ancestors, this unique car is first and foremost a magnificent study and decadent announced the end of an era. Away from the cockpit of this machine unforgettable, lost in a state of denial, it's almost hard to remember that the days are numbered gasoline engine.
