Electric cars, one of the latest trends in the automotive industry, they're clean, they accelerate fast and they can be smoother than petrol or diesel vehicles, but, what else? You just hop into your Lamborghini Aventador, and get ready for that awesome roar of the engine, or maybe you don't want an empty wallet, electric cars or electric versions of petrol cars are more expensive. Whatever it is, petrol and electric cars have their own advantages over each each other, but do electric cars have enough advantages over petrol or diesel cars? The main and the most obvious advantage of electric cars is that they don't pollute the environment, not only do they prevent the pollution that happens through smoke, they also prevent what happens through sound ; sound pollution. Electric vehicles are much quieter than gasoline vehicles. Yes, some people just love the good old roar of your Aventador, but losing that might not be so bad after all. Most countries also offer tax credits fo...

I'm pretty sure you all know that Toyota's vehicles are exceptionally attested, there's no doubt in that. According to the reliability score given to every vehicle manufacturer by "What Car?", Toyota stands at third place with pride, whilst holding a score of 97.7%. Lexus, the luxury vehicle division of Toyota, is in the first place. But have you ever wondered how Toyota does that? Whenever Toyota or Lexus makes a new vehicle model, before starting an automated production line, they make the whole car by hand, permitting them to ensure the build of the car is solid. It is after that, that they give the automated production line with robots a test to ensure it is built correctly. Finally, they start the automated production line. Now, making one by hand, testing the production line, and having to retry eats up on time, which when it comes to vehicle manufacturers is money. So to overcome this problem, Toyota has a trick up their sleeve, they reuse many parts suc...

The new Porsche Panamera Turbo S is said to be a great car to annoy other drivers on the road. You like it? Sorry, you can't just go ahead a buy it, it costs a fortune! Bad luck! The Turbo S is the top of the range and also costs a fortune. It can from 0-60mph in 3.08secs, thanks to it's 630hp engine, although the previous model had more horsepower. Hmm...

It is the best in the range whilst slipping $24,890 off your wallet. The Mazda 2 is seriously fun to drive but its engines can feel lethargic. The Mazda 2's petrol engine is very smooth and although it is fast enough when you put your foot on the pedal it can start to sound a bit coarse. This little car carries a 1.5-litre engine but what you'll sorely miss is a turbocharger. The car is best below 40mph. The Mazda 2's classy and appealing dashboard may be nice but is somewhat starting to show it's age. I recommend choosing the SE -L Nav model due to how much of a difference the 7.0-inch infotainment system makes. Stitched leather on the seats, the door panels and the dashboard give the car a posh feel but you'll only get it in the top-spec models. The base models might not have a 7.0-inch infotainment system, but they get LED headlights, Bluetooth hands-free calling, cruise control and rear parking sensors along with the standard features. All those features in the ...

The Dacia Duster is a great CUV but is it worth the money. Dacia, owned by Renault is out with it's latest Crossover. The Duster starts at 11, 245 pounds. That is the "Access" model, which doesn't get a stereo or even air conditioning! Neither do they get Alloy wheels or two piece foldable front seats. They only get white paint as well! That could summarise why you should try spending a little more money and go for the "Comfort" model which costs 15, 545 pounds. Comfort models are the pick of the range, they come with alloy wheels, air conditioning and a 7.0 inch touchscreen infotainment system with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity and satellite navigation. A reversing camera and rear parking sensors are standard along side the two way split rear seats. The next model in the range is the "SE Twenty" taking 15, 945 which is just a little bit more than the Comfort model. The special edition Duster SE Twenty comes with satnav, Apple CarPla...
