on 2040-cars
Arden, ON, Canada
|
Extremely fuel-efficient. I drove from Arden, Ontario to Burlington, Ontario and back, and used just over a half-tank.
I had the braking module changed on it since I bought it used in 2012. I drove out west with it and back, in -30c weather in the winter time, and the brakes work great. I had two minor front end collisions that were not the car's fault. One, because of tires and very bad road, and the other because of night-time driving. All Ford model parts replacement, no after market. Front bumper changed and some little things. I can provide a list for serious interest only. I have gotten excellent Ford report cards on the car. Interior charcoal fabric. Car starter, remote lock and factory alarm system, combination entry on driver's side, very beautiful rims, ambient lights under the side mirrors that show off the car, at night. Very comfortable seating. Back seats all have adjustable headrests and good leg room. (I am tall!) It has all the bells and whistles, except for sunroof. Hands-free phone connection, digital display and computer plugins, satellite, 6 cd changer, driver and front passenger separate environmental controls, multiple power plugins for cell phone or anything that plugs into a cigarette lighter. BTW, this is a non-smoking vehicle. This car does not need to be plugged in - ever - since I had it. It self charges when it runs. It is very quiet when in gas mode, and silent when in electric mode. It alternates on its own between modes, depending on your acceleration, or also, when it is idle. When idle, it will alternate every 10-12 minutes between modes. I have kept up with oil changes. If you put the high-quality oil, you do not need to change it for about 10,000km. And I recommend going to Ford for tune-ups - as this is their specialty car that they know well. It doesn't cost me more to go to a Ford dealer, in fact, they want to be competitive, so it has worked out for me. This is the most fuel-efficient, one of the most comfortable, and one of the sexiest cars I have ever driven. My circumstances have changed and I need to sell it. This is a nice car for a professional or for your wife! There is a lien on this car. Please email me for offers. Negotiable. |

2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
