Hyundai i800

The Hyundai i800 is a new model minivan with bodywork, rear traction and eight seats, which replaces the Hyundai H-1. It's on sale for € 28,900, with a diesel engine of 170 hp and a closed equipment, which includes stability control.

2008 Hyundai i800

Hyundai believes that the Hyundai i800 is an alternative to the alternatives for passengers of some industrial models, as the Opel Vivaro, Renault Traffic and Volkswagen Transporter.

Thus, if we compare it with other people carriers among more than 4.8 metres, is notable for being the only model that has eight seats. A SsangYong Rodius is less costly, while a Chrysler Grand Voyager is much more expensive. Regarding the Rodius, the Hyundai i800 provides an extra seat and better access to rear seats (thanks to have sliding side doors), but has a less flamboyant interior and a worse relationship between price and equipment.

2008 Hyundai i800

The Hyundai i800 has two sliding side doors and tailgate. Its exterior dimensions are greater than those of the H-1, who is being replaced. It measures 5.12 meters long, 1.90 m wide and 1.92 meters high. The battle (wheelbase) is very long (3.20 m). A Rodius has a size similar to the Hyundai i800, but its height and his battle are minors.

Hyundai i800 Interior

2008 Hyundai i800

It's a minivan with a spacious interior in all dimensions and can travel comfortably occupants of various characteristics. The quality of finish is normal, has no major defects and gives feeling of robustness.

Hyundai i800 Engine

The Hyundai i800 interior has eight seats and three rows of seats (in configuration 2 +3 +3). The driving position is normal in a vehicle of this kind, since it has a seat placed in a position high above ground that gives a high visibility.


In the second row is a bench of three seats, which is divided into two sections with proportions 1 / 3 and 2 / 3. Each of the two sections has a longitudinal adjustment of 10 cm and backing adjustable tilt. The seat can anticipate up grazing the front seat, thereby facilitating access to the third row of seats.


The bench of the third row is also heading, but has no longitudinal displacement. Only you can regulate the seat-back and folding it on the sidewalk, thereby expanding the capacity of the trunk.


Stresses on other similar models, in the great room for the legs of available occupants of the second row (still carrying the front seat). The width and height is also very good in this row, so it is highly advisable to carry three adults (including high or high body mass) in this row.



In the third row, there are slightly less wide and less space to head in the second row. In addition, the seat is slightly less wide. If the seat of the second row is delayed, space for the legs is very fair for occupants who are not children.


The trunk is very broad, measured according to SAE 851 l (ie 10 litres more than the Rodius, Tamba is measured according to this rule).


The Hyundai i800 is a minivan more maneuverable than a Rodius, since it revolves less space (very little bearing in mind their long battle). It also has a direction that is soft to a low speed, but we feel something sensitive to a high speed, because small movements on the steering too have an effect in the immediate path.


The Hyundai i800 suspension has a mild adjustment that makes it comfortable, but which allows large movements of the body, though less than in a Rodius.


The diesel engine is the same bearing the KIA Sorento. It is a four-cylinder 2.5 litre engine capacity, with direct injection through common and variable turbocharger. It reaches a maximum power of 170 hp at 3,800 rpm and has a maximum torque of 392 Nm at 2,000 laps.
It is linked to a five-speed manual, which is near the steering wheel and has a precise drive.


With this engine, the Hyundai i800 can reach 180 mph maximum speed and consumes 8.5 l per 100 km in combined cycle. It is moderate consumption, taking into account the size and weight (over 2,300 kg) of this model.


The 170 hp engine is enough to move the Hyundai i800 with agility, at least when we drive with low weight. Highlights for having a great strength from a regime very low (only 1,400 laps), and rises of turns smoothly and with a certain force up above the maximum power regime.


Developments of change are short, so it reaches the maximum speed in excess of rated maximum. This helps having a good resilience and overtaking. However, is missing a sixth motion, to bring the engine to a more relaxed regime in favour of a sound and a lower consumption.


The mechanical sound that is heard in the interior is low, when the engine circulates with a moderate regime. If we are accelerating or bringing the engine to a high regime, noise is noticeable. In addition, if circular to a high speed, wind noise is quite intense.


The Hyundai i800 equipment of the Hyundai i800 is varied, but is weaker. From leads series front airbags, stability control, dual air conditioning, remote control in the rear parking lot, trip computer, audio equipment with CD reader (compatible with MP3 discs) and auxiliary connection, anti-theft alarm and alloy wheels, 16 ".


There are no options available, so that the equipment that there are important elements missing. You can not have side airbags and front head, automatic climate control, developer of speed, automated equipment for lights and wipers and electrically folding mirrors, among other things.
As accessory dealer can be mounted some elements, like a browser with touch screen.


The Hyundai i800 front suspension is independent of type McPherson with helical springs. Behind, wearing a rigid axle with helical springs and stabilizing bar.


From Hyundai i800 there is a commercial version, called "H-1 Van ', which can be chosen with one or two row of seats (three seats in each of the rows of seats) and a large cargo space. Later, this variant also may be bought with a 136 hp diesel engine. The commercial versions carry crossbows instead helical springs.

The world’s leader in affordable small cars fills the bill with 2010 Honda Civic

2010 Honda Civic Side ViewIt isn’t hard to believe that the 2010 Civic continues to rank #1 in the Affordable Small Cars Category. Honda continues to present a winning combination, which truly makes Civic a leader in its class, both for style and reliability. Its fuel efficiency pleases the frugal minded folk, but equally makes sense to all the people watching the gas prices closely.

The new 2010 model comes virtually unchanged, as the 2009 Civic was selected “Best Buy” by the Consumer Guide. So if the 2010 model is essentially the very same thing, one may consider buying a 2009 model and saving some dough. You can actually get a pretty good deal, as the dealers are eager to get the 2009 models of their lots.

2010 Honda Civic InteriorHonda Civic Rear Quarter View

Despite the outstanding reliability, and fuel economy the 2009 and 2010 Civics have received some harsh comments. The main dispute was its exterior, particularly the snub-nose and a rather odd minivan-like windshield. Some commented that the design was just uninteresting, “you could drive and not notice a half of dozen of Civics on your way to work.” Others criticized the dual-tiered instrument as overburdened and mesmerizing.

2010 Honda Civic 4 door

But can all of this really be a major drawback when we are talking about the unparalleled quality and solid reputation for quality? The engineering of Civic is as strong for the 2010 model as ever and they have always held their resale value well. The car has a truly dynamic performance combined with the fuel-sipping manners –setting a standard in the highly competitive compact cars class. In addition, Civic boasts excellent safety scores in both federal government and insurance industry, and comes equipped with anti-lock brakes and six airbags!

However, making your mind to buy a Civic is the easy part. What’s difficult is choosing the one that is right for you. The basic Civic is either a sedan or coupe and it comes in different trims such as DX, LX, LX-S, EX with the price range from roughly $15,500 to all the way up to $22,000. The Honda Civic SI boasts increased performance-oriented trim, with 57 extra horsepower, pushing the price up to extra $6,500. The other interesting options are Civic Hybrid with the prices of about $10,000 higher than for a base Civic, and the Civic GX which runs on compressed natural gas.

On the exterior design corners have been avoided and that various elements protruding from the body. Despite this, the value of the aerodynamic coefficient is not good: 0.35. A Porsche 911 is 0.28, a Bentley Continental GT 0.32 and a Lamborghini Murcielago 0.33; as Aston Martin DB9 have not sought a low rate but a high stability at high speed.

2005 Aston Martin DB9

The Aston Martin DB9 engine is in a twelve-cylinder 'V' for the 60th. Da 456 hp at 6,000 rpm and 570 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. It is based on carrying the Vanquish but changes the crankshaft, the intake and exhaust manifolds, the lubrication system and the electronic management.


The cylinder head, 48-valve, was developed jointly by Aston Martin DB9 and the department of development and technology of Ford. You can lead a gearbox 'Graziano' manual or a "ZF" automatic, two of six relationships. With this engine, the Aston Martin DB9 reaches 300 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.9 s (5.1 s automatic).


For the shooters inside the doors, dashboard, instrument panel and some indicators of it has been used aluminum. The wood has been used in only two places: the top of the console, and if the purchaser so wishes, at the top of the door panel. There are twenty different colors of leather upholstery for the interior.


The counter has the peculiarity that rotates in the opposite direction-clockwise, as in the Atom and the DB2. There are no red zone but a light that turns on to warn that it has reached the limits of the regime. The moment that turns depends on the ambient temperature, the time it takes the engine running and the mileage of it.


In the box there is a screen-type "OEL (organic electroluminescent display), the Aston Martin DB9 is today the only production model in a series that takes. Regarding LCD has a higher resolution, contrast and viewing angle.


There is no gear in the automatic version. On the dashboard, there are four buttons to select the operating mode (P, R, N, D) and magnesium cam behind the wheel to change the relationship. Among the four buttons change is the start of the engine, which is transparent glass. When pressed lights red, and then turn blue.


The sound equipment ("Linn Hi Fi system) has 10 speakers (950 W) and a bass (200 W) that incorporates an accelerometer to compensate for changes in pressure in the internal wiring of fiber optics.


It has the aluminum chassis, with pieces made by process of casting, extrusion or stamping; the bonnet, roof and rear wings are also of this material. The front wings and boot lid are of a compound.


The suspension is independent of deformable parallelogram with a double triangle. Both the front and rear are mounted on a subchassis; the rear also supports the gearbox and differential. The two subchassis and the body of the pads are made of aluminum. The Aston Martin DB9 weighs 1785 kilograms (version with manual shift), the same as a BMW M6, a Bentley Continental GT weighs 600 kg more (2,385 kg).


The pieces of the chassis and body panels are joined to each other through an adhesive. To join the float back is used an ultrasound system that vibrate (with a frequency of 20,000 Hz) molecules of the two pieces of aluminum to merge, creating a link between the two pieces. Such a union is 90 percent stronger than a spot welding.


To achieve an optimal weight distribution (50:50) and to lighten up the set have been used other lightweight materials, including magnesium (in the interior structure of the doors and column of the address) or carbon fiber for the transmission shaft connecting the engine (located at the front) with the gearbox (placed ago).


The Aston Martin DB9 is manufactured by hand at the plant in Gaydon, Warwickshire.
