For such a long period of time Audi was dominating the Coupe, Saloon and Estate markets with cars such as the A3, A4 and A6 etc. But with the demand for larger vehicles on the up, Audi took the step of introducing their first SUV into the market as to keep in competition with its competitors. So they introduced the Q7, which has now gone on to become quite the revolution and has also set the tone for numerous other SUV designs for some of the competition. It is big, robust and packs a punch in terms of acceleration and speed, which along with its overall slick design, are some of the main reasons for its popularity. The thing is that the new and used Audi Q7 was a breath of fresh air and was something that appeared to be rather unique when it was first introduced to the market. Audi seem to have this knack of being able to produce cars of the highest standards that go on to become firm industry favourites. And in the case of the Q7, this was very much the case and it has now become one of Audi’s main models in their range of cars. And that is very much a compliment to this unit considering that Audi houses some of the very best cars of today such as the TT and those in the RS range. So there you have it folks – the Audi Q7 is available and ready to provide you with a truly unique driving experience like no other.
Every car manufacturer has a number of cars that they regard as being the most popular but there is always one that stands out as being the very best. In this case it is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Aston Martin themselves call it their most “exhilarating” model in their range, which really is an accurate compliment. With its 6.0 litre V12 engine, the Vantage really is a powerful beast. Producing 510 BHP and 570 Nm of torque, it also delivers an astonishing 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of just 4.2 seconds. The top speed of the vehicle is 190 mph, which just adds to the overall driving experience. But this should not come as much of a surprise given that the Vantage has benefited from many of the materials and components used for racing. It also incorporates the use of the lightweight material, carbon fibre, which improves on weight reduction and overall handling agility. Aston Martin have said that the V12 Vantage is like no other used Aston Martin of the past as it now offers its own unique character and style, which is very much a step in a new direction. In summary, this is a car that is very much out on its own and is very highly regarded by those in the industry and those who watch on from afar; dreaming about the day that they can purchase a car like this and enjoy the true experience of an Aston Martin.
To describe the Volkswagen Golf as just a flagship vehicle would be quite unjust as it is much, much more than that. It has almost singlehandedly propelled the brand of Volkswagen to heights that would surely have not been reached had it not been a part of the arsenal. This is a vehicle that has withstood the age of time better than no other and has continuously offered new and improved versions of a car that has long been adored by the general public. And the new VW Golf is every bit as impressive as the original used Volkswagen Golf but it has even more style, glamour and offerings up its sleeve. Safety is high on the agenda and with features such as airbags, ABS, ESP and a five star Euro NCAP safety rating, it would be hard to point out any flaws that can be found in the safety department. And in terms of the cars’ overall design, well this too is mighty impressive with the new Golf available with a body coloured rear bumper, alloy wheels and numerous stylish design features. You would be hard pushed to find a vehicle in the Hatchback class that looks better than this one. But it is not just its looks that make the Volkswagen Golf the car that it is – it is also the performance and driving experience that it provides. Equipped with a TSI engine and optional adaptive chassis control, the Golf offers a smooth and pleasant drive that enables the driver to concentrate on the open road.
Available to buy in six different versions; the Exclusiv, SRi, SRi VX-Line, SE, Elite and the VXR, the Vauxhall Insignia Saloon really does provide potential buyers with a huge array of options and different features. There is even a choice of up to eleven different engines! The Insignia very much marks a significant step for the company and clearly outlines some major improvements when compared to some of the older used Vauxhall cars that have become popular over the years. As for the exterior of the vehicle it is very easy on the eye thanks to the numerous subtle curves on display that blend in with the strategically placed lines within the overall design. Although this is indeed a Saloon, there is the odd hint of a Coupe; especially the roofline. As for the interior, it is obvious that there has been an awful lot of time, skill and detail spent on making the Insignia a comfortable and well-designed vehicle; with the interior very much epitomising this. It is definitely of the highest standards for a Saloon vehicle and houses some of the very best materials, surfaces and finishes that add to the overall luxury effect that is provided. But it is not just a slick exterior and comforting interior that makes the new and used Vauxhall Insignia the vehicle that it is. Also included are various technological features that make this a true all round automobile that provides an excellent driving experience.
As we all know the Smart car range is among some of the most economically friendly in the world. And it was indeed used Smart cars from the past that set the tone for the new era of automotive manufacturing in terms of reducing Co2 emissions. For the years that followed the release of the first Smart car – the brand has become extremely popular all over the world as more and more consumers begin switching to cars that are kinder to the environment. To take things one step further though, Smart has now introduced an electric version of the brilliant Fortwo model, which was always no doubt the next chapter for Smart engineers (producing an even friendlier vehicle in electric format). The need for a new and additional power-train is what many of the automotive manufacturers are now aspiring to achieve and Smart has shown their hand with the electric Fortwo. Whilst there have naturally been some changes to the vehicles’ power etc, no sacrifices have been made in terms of the overall design of the car and safety levels as well as the driving capabilities have not been altered in any way. So believe it or not there is now a new car in town that has seemingly taken the health of the environment to new extremes and that is the new electric Smart Fortwo. It emits zero Co2 emissions as well as no carbon monoxide or other pollutants; making it one of, if not the, most eco-friendly unit currently available in the industry today.
Maserati’s automatic version of the GranTurismo S is a true wonder to behold. What separates this car from its competitors is the array of technologies used and the innovation in engineering that have been undertaken. The first area that the new and used Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic excels in is the cars’ gearbox, which operates using a six speed transmission. The gearbox really displays its engine power benefit during low revs and enables change to be made up to 7,200 rpm; match by no other competitor. With four different functions available that include Auto Normal, Sport, ICE and Manual, drivers really are in total control of the GranTurismo S Automatic. Accompanying the innovation in gearbox design is the cars’ engine, which is of the 8 cylinder, 4691 cc type. With a total output of 440 BHP, this Maserati is one that delivers where others fail. A total of 490 Nm toque at 4,750 revs per minute is produced and with the help of two overhead camshafts and 4 cylinders that are managed by hydraulic tappets, the engine in the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic is very much an advanced production. As for the cars’ suspension, the vehicle incorporates wishbone suspension (front and rear) and also comes with the “Skyhook” system, which uses shock absorbers to adjust the damping on a regular basis (the system is able to decide what the most effective level of damping is). The final element of innovation in this Maserati car is the chassis, which enables the vehicle to have excellent reactions due to the units’ weight distribution (virtually 50/50 between front and back). So it is clearly evident that it is not only the exterior looks of the GranTurismo S Automatic that stands out. A visually stunning vehicle nonetheless, this Maserati delivers in so many aspects.
When you talk about the racetrack or sports cars in general, you will no doubt have discussed Lotus cars and what they bring to both industries. And one particular Lotus model that may have been a topic of discussion is the Lotus 2-Eleven. Offering extreme acceleration and unmistakable Lotus handling, the 2-Eleven is an aggressive and track-worthy competitor that stands out from the rest of the competition. Lightening quick and with super quick reactions, this is one Lotus car that will definitely make the history books. In summary, it defines what a sports car really is and provides the perfect cross between a racing car and a high performance road vehicle. Extreme performance is how Lotus officially describe the car and comment on its “world class” characteristics. Using the 192 PS engine from Toyota, the 2-Eleven is highly customisable meaning that every unit is unique. What this also means is that you’re new or used Lotus 2-Eleven car can be tailored to that of the racing track or the bump and grind of the UK’s city / country roads. It is, without doubt, a supercar of the highest order and one that has delivered so much promise. Most drivers tend to opt for the racing track as opposed to the city, but this is quite understandable given the nature of the exterior and the different options that are available as extras. As noted above, the Lotus 2-Eleven uses the 192 PS engine from Toyota (192PS 2ZZ-GE engine in full) that is built into an light and compact aluminium construction. Incorporated into this is Lotus’ T4e engine management system as well as electronic ignition and throttle control and multi point sequential fuel injection. So from the description above, it is clear to see that the 2-Eleven is one of the leaders in its class and is yet another classy addition to the Lotus range of cars.
To quote an Audi sales rep, “the Q7 is an absolute beast of a machine and is definitely the King Kong of the 4×4’s”.

Versatile and luxurious, the Q7 delivers where so many fail. It oozes with class and style, which brings it in line with the rest of the new and used Audi cars in the range. In fact, you could say that the Q7 is actually an Audi Coupe model on stilts; given the fantastic design that it displays. Read the rest of this entry »
Too many Aston Martin fans, the DB9 is the vehicle of choice thanks to its sublime exterior and interior values as well as the remarkable performance of the cars’ engine. Comfort and refinement are very much on the agenda and a used Aston Martin or a brand new version (if you are lucky enough to be able to afford one) will make for a sense of achievement. Its character is truly unique and like no other automobile in the world. The DB9 is one of the first models that you think of when the subject of Aston Martin arises in conversation and it really is one of those “special” cars. The used Aston Martin marketplace offers some alternatives to non-brand new buyers, but for this type of car, buying from an authorised dealership is a definite must. With manufacturing of the highest order, Aston Martin created a car that will almost certainly withstand the age of the future; thanks in part to its superior craftsmanship, technology and the finest components. Whatever your preferred choice of Aston Martin car may be, the DB9 will surely be near the top of the list, as it defines the true art of an Aston Martin vehicle. Some say that the DB9 is a Grand Tourer type, whilst the majority describe it as being a fully grown sports car. The most accurate portrayal is probably somewhere in-between, but in reality, it doesn’t really matter because the DB9 is a wonder to behold – regardless of its official or non-official title. Power, beauty and sold epitomise this car and it comes as no surprise that it is one of the most desired units in the UK and Europe, and that it attracts a great deal of interest from abroad as well.
