Car insurance is usually a matter of great worry for youngsters. The young driver, often, has to dish out more than others do just because he is availing of the privilege to drive. Nowadays, however, the young driver of today has many options for decreasing the expenses incurred through the car insurance.

The first model of the sports car of the Lotus Company is the Lotus Elise which was released in the month of September in 1995. And the company had gained so much response that they had launched the 2 main types of this model: the first model is of the Lotus Elise of Series 1 and other is of Series 2.

This is the new entry level Elise, powered by its smallest engine yet. A 1.6 litre Toyota unit, coupled with a new 6 speed gearbox. This car is all about economy and at £27,000 offers supercar looks for sales rep saloon money. Now for the part that appeals to me. 56 mpg is impressive and must be considered a huge attraction with its 500 mile range. The team at Lotus have nick named this car the 149 due to its low emission output of 149g of Co2 per Km. I just think it's a nice way of saying 'yes we have the worlds most eco friendly petrol powered sports car. With the confidence of a reliable Japanese powerplant the Elise is kind of in its little world. Of course there are rival brands and models to consider but all of these lack the little Lotus's charm, lines and stunning drive. Don't think that the small engine makes the Lotus experience any less either. It doesn't. It will reach 60 mph in just 6 seconds and is capable of making you grin with ease. This new Elise handles, grips and snoggs the road like a teenage love affair, you could almost forgive yourself to think that winding roads and bends were designed 100 years ago as these industrial pioneers knew that someday a car would be built to drive around them without almost flat out.

The so-called urban utility vehicle was first introduced to the public in 2011 and from then on, it has received quite a warm welcome from car buyers. The Scion xB is characterized by its boxy design and this has already become a distinction for Scion cars. It would seem that Scion car buyers loved the boxy design of the xB because the latest model of the vehicle is made even bigger and still has a boxy design. The latest installment of the Scion xB is the result of the feedbacks of xB owners that they wanted a bigger car.

The VW Jetta media event was a little different than usual since most of the journalists were foreign. There were groups from Singapore, Mexico, Canada, India, China, and elsewhere. Obviously, Volkswagen is reaching out. However, the new Jetta design is clearly aimed at the North American market.

We spent an entire day driving the new Jetta through the streets of San Francisco, along the upper Pacific coast highway, and back through the twisting roads in the Napa valley. Although there are four trim levels, our only choice for testing was the SEL model, either in automatic or manual. The base trim, referred to as VW's entry-level model, is called S, and has a beginning price of just $15,995. That is almost $2000 less than last year's offering. The SE model is slightly more upgraded. Our test model SEL's are the most completely trimmed out and have a price tag of about $21,000. That price includes an 8 speaker audio system, Bluetooth phone system, iPod integration, and a standard navigation system. The SEL's standard engine is a 2.5-liter that produces 170 horsepower. There is also a TDI trim that features a 2.0-liter TDI diesel four cylinder.

One generation after the introduction of its first line of cars in the US, Hyundai Motors is preparing to import to the US its first V8 powered car. The Equus, a full sized sedan, will be new to the US market, but the Korean automaker has been making large cars for years. Please read on for more information about this exciting development.

Give Hyundai credit. In the teeth of strong competition from Asian and American automobile manufacturers, the South Korean auto giant has managed to carve out a niche for itself in the hyper-competitive US auto market. Twenty years after the Excel Pony was introduced at the budget price of $3750, Hyundai has upgraded its line up and now sells small and medium models, sporty cars, and a pair of SUVs.

On the brighter side, you get the goodness of attractive design inside and out, tons of amenities, smooth sturdy V6 engine; sophisticated dashboard controls a large trunk. However, there's enough room for improvement in the gas mileage too.

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata is expected to be a massive leap in terms of exterior body styling as well as the luxury class amenities that are expected to be incorporated in the vehicle. The 2011 Sonata pictures leaked over internet soundly suggest that it is going to be a longer i40, with improved performance. However, merely taking a look at the latest Sonata pictures leaked over the internet, it is next to impossible to predict what's going to be present under its hood.

But, one thing is for sure - the Sonata is about to enter the next generation, and it is going to get a drastic makeover in terms of looks as well as capabilities.



In today's harsh economic climate, many consumers demand a vehicle that is reliable since car breakdowns result in additional money spent on repairs and parts. No other vehicle has the reputation that the Honda Accord does when it comes to reliability. Actually, this car is so renowned for its quality that it retains quite a bit of its value when it comes to resale. JD Power and Associates awarded it with 9 out of 10 on the Predicted Reliability rating. This celebrated automobile competes head to head in the midsize car segment with another car, the Toyota Camry. The Accord is available as a four-door car and as a sportier two-door coupe. The trims available for the sedan are the LX, LX-P, EX and X-L and the trims for the coupe models are LX-S, EX and EX-L. On the outside the Accord sports a contemporary look with modern stylistic touches

Having highlighted the areas where the new Sonata excels, reviewers have also noted a number of drawbacks. The SE trim, for instance, has been criticized for not providing a very smooth ride on rougher surfaces. Steering is also not as smooth as desirable when making quick turns. Inside the vehicle, head room may also be an issue as very tall individuals may accidentally hit their heads against the ceiling if they aren't careful. The lack of a V6 engine is also an issue for some but a turbo charged version of the GDI engine is set to be debut later this year. Despite some of these concerns, however, the new Sonata is an absolute must to have on your list to test drive.
