Japanese automaker Subaru now releases the details of its new model that will enter the super mini segment in the European market. Equipped with a wide range of features, high performance and fuel efficient powertrain, the Subaru’s super mini model called the Justy will roll out in European dealerships carrying a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of only 8,495 British Pounds.

The Subaru Justy super mini features a three-cylinder 1.0 litre twin-overhead camshaft petrol engine under its hood. This power unit is capable of pumping out 69.3 PS at 6,000 rpm and 69.3 lb ft of torque at 3,600 rpm, allowing the super mini to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 13.5 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 100 mph. The 1.0 litre engine offers an impressive fuel economy for consumers, as it achieves 64.2 mpg Extra Urban. In addition, the Subaru Justy’s engine offers very low harmful exhaust emissions of only 118 grams per kilometer. European consumers can also enjoy numerous benefits with this new super mini model like the five-year/60,000 mile warranty backed by five-years’ UK and European roadside assistance.

Lawrence Good, Subaru (UK) Limited Managing Director said: “Everyone is very enthusiastic about the new Justy as it is will appeal to environmentally-conscious motorists and those seeking ultra-low running costs. Subaru dealers enjoy strong customer loyalty and the new Justy gives them a much-needed entry-level car to sell to both existing customers and new prospects.”

On the other technical side, the new Subaru Justy is equipped with a European-tuned chassis including a long suspension-travel for a smooth ride. Anti-roll bars are also included to provide agile handling for the vehicle. These roll bars are located at the front and rear of the vehicle combined with firm damping. The front suspensions are made of MacPherson struts while the rear suspension features a torsion bar with separate coil springs. Other technical feats and systems include power steering, advanced braking system featuring anti-lock ventilated front discs, rear drums (ABS), and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). This optimises the braking force according to the weight distribution of passengers and luggage.

Other highlights of the Subaru Justy include driver and passenger front and rear curtain airbags, side and front and rear curtain airbags, alloy wheels, air-conditioning, four electric windows, reversing sensors, remote central-locking with alarm and ISOFIX child seat mountings, and 225 litres of luggage space. This model is also equipped with antenna (like Acura car antenna) for radio/CD player.

Among people who like cars are people who like to be different and look unique. These people would go about customizing their cars to achieve that effect. With a car that is customized to your needs, you can be sure that you will love your car more. There’s also the added bonus of a car that looks and feels your way and geared for high performance.

You will be focusing on two things to customize your car: its performance and its visual look and feel.

The first is the performance of your car. What is needed is to check the parts of your car that can be enhanced, which includes the engine, exhaust, and others. You can do many things to upgrade the performance of your car. What is important, though, is how to go about it.

It is better to have a skilled mechanic work on your car if you have no idea how to the upgrades. A lot of wrenching and tweaking is involved in the processes. The engine, for example, needs a lot of work. You can increase its horsepower by working with the turbo or cutting down on the engine temperature with the headers.

Other general upgrades you can do for your car would be to get a new transmission to aid with the acceleration ratio. You should also take care of the gearbox as it is very important in helping with the all-around performance of your car. It maintains fuel management, and checks over the changes of your engine. Adding suspensions are recommended to help you drive more smoothly, providing you tune your car correctly. Other notable upgrades are the exhaust system and the nitrous oxide purge system (NOS).

For the visual upgrades, start with the exterior. The body of the car would be the first thing that you’ll be itching to improve. Get yourself a body kit that is most compatible to your car in both function and style. Almost always a body kit that will help direct air is preferred. After you have chosen the right body kit for your car, you can choose the paint for it. Choose the paint that you like, and is pleasing to other people despite the fact that not everyone will like it.

After the body kit and the paint, you can have your choices of spoiler and exterior features. The spoilers are needed to direct air over the trunk or back draft of your car. You can add optional features to your car, but make sure not to overdo it. More importantly, the functions of the visual upgrades should carry out well with the performance upgrades.

Interior improvements usually focuses on the seats of the car, the gauges, switches, sound system, etc. Additional gauges for the nitrous, turbo, temperature, and oil are great additions. Checking with the seats is also important for comfortability. Always make sure that there are seat belts, too. You can also change or have a customized steering wheel.

You can basically do any kind of upgrades on your car, providing they are compatible with it (and they all usually are). It will be your choice on what to do with your car and how to go about the upgrades, but, again, it is better to get a mechanic’s help to customize your car.

For some for motorcycle riders, buying a helmet is an easy enough task - they just walk into a store, find a branded helmet that looks good, is inexpensive and that’s it. Else they may rely on their friends, family members or even the dealers selling the helmets to make up their minds. After a few cursory looks at all the helmets, they have made a decision and a helmet is bought.

However for all those who know what a crucial part of motorcycle safety a helmet is, and who have read up all they can about buying proper helmets, this can be a fairly daunting task. Helmet buying is serious business indeed, in fact, your very life depends on it but with some key facts in hand, you need not find the task daunting any more.

What Helmet To Buy

If you have ever wondered if a helmet is all that important as it is made out to be, stop this very instant and take a look at some of the statistics of motorcycle accidents the world over. Studies both from the U.S. and all over the world clearly show that all those riders who had helmets on crashed less frequently than those who did not, and even if they did crash, they suffered far fewer injuries and deaths. Motorcycle riders with helmets could protect themselves from serious injuries like long-term or permanent disabilities caused by suffering head or neck injuries during a motorcycle crash. So, yes a motorcycle helmet is probably the most important part of one’s motorcycle gear.

It is important that you choose a helmet carefully and after making sure of its comfort and fit. However, at times, even experienced riders who are just trying to replace an old helmet may be a little confused about which new helmet to buy. Remember this - any helmet that meets the D.O .T (U.S. Department of Transportation) standard offer far more protection than one does not meet the standard. A D.O.T helmet makes it mandatory for every certified helmet to be able to absorb a certain amount of impact energy, have a fastening system that will stay in place even in the worst of crashes and will be able to prevent most penetration. Thus even an inexpensive D.O.T helmet will provide more protection than a very expensive non-D.O.T helmet. Other than possessing a D.O.T certificate, make sure the helmet stays well on your head even if you need to dismount in a hurry and is comfortable around your head.

What Else Can a Helmet do?

Helmets can help you hear other sounds much better because they cut down the rest of the ambient wind noise. They can also reduce the fatigue caused by wind, thereby keeping you more alert. Your eyes are protected and you can see much better through a helmet. Further you need not be troubled by insects flying in your face if you use a full-face helmet.

If you take the time and put in the efforts in finding a good helmet, you will find even long rides comfortable and enjoyable.

Here is a list of second hand car buying and selling options, and each of its pros and cons.

1) Car Dealers:

They provide you with a guarantee of title and the best legal protection. They offer a broad selection of cars and most offer less expensive and older model cars.

On the other hand, trade-ins could not provide the best price for your old car and purchasing of used cars could be risky since most car dealers buy from taxi companies, police departments and lease fleets.

To ensure the quality of a second hand car, visit a dealership that specializes in the makes and models you prefer.

2) Private Owners:

There are two different sides of buying from a private owner – they maintain their car regularly or they are trying to sell the car to dispose of junk. Although most privately owned used cars come cheap, you would be taking a car-investment risk with no warranty, security title and no legal recourse if you purchased a lemon.

You should ask for repair and maintenance receipts to ensure the upholding of the vehicle.

3) Car auctions:

Here you could get a good deal and save a lot of money if you really know cars and are an avid fixer-upper. Auctions also guarantee the car title.

However, you should first do your homework. Some auctions do not provide warranties, cannot let you run a test drive, and you will not be able to check the vehicle’s history record.

4) Rental car companies:

Rental cars are a good deal since they are rented by vacationers, businesspersons for short trips, and are guaranteed wearing road trips. Their cars are regularly serviced and they could provide the records of maintenance history.

However, even with a maintenance record, buyers would not have any idea who has driven the car before buying it. Rental cars could also cost slightly more than used cars bought from private sellers.

Research is important to guarantee a best deal in your car investment. Avoid being scammed in the classifieds by trying the best option that would suit your needs.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Last school year, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac honored local high school students for their accomplishments inside and outside the classroom with the monthly Driven Student award. This year’s award program kicked off at Plymouth South High School, with Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac throwing a pizza party for sixteen freshman students selected by their teachers for already showing they’ve got it this early in their high school careers.

Among those treated the students to a pizza party, include: Kayla Callanan, Austin Vico, Bri Corsini, Dan Brandt, Sam Gedutis, Josh Desantis, Emily Richard, Nick Monti, Maura Flaherty, Kenna Andrews, Josh Nelson, Chris Cummings, Bhavjit Thiara, Santiago Narino, Jessica Hawker and Liz Embree.

“Being a freshman in high school is not an easy thing. New school, new teachers and the sheer size of the school can be overwhelming. It says something about these students that they have been able to make the transition successfully and that their teachers felt them worthy of the Driven Student award,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

In addition to the pizza party, students also received Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hats and shirts. Rick McGue, Tracy’s service manager, held an impromptu trivia session in which students also earned prizes.

“We can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac enough for their generosity towards these students. As educators, we try to give recognition as much as possible but it probably doesn’t happen as much as it should. We appreciate Tracy’s Driven Student program because it’s a nice reminder for teachers to take a closer look at the good work our students are doing,” said A.J. Butters, Freshman Academy House Master.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.
