By the end of 2011 Audi will launch the marketing of the A1-wheel drive equipped with "four", currently engaged in testing the streets of Canada. As reported in recent months has therefore amended the Volkswagen PQ25 platform to install a four wheel drive system similar to those already proposed by the A3 and TT, with a viscous coupling Haldex electronically controlled and hydraulically activated (by a pack of clutch in oil bath ) mounted in front of the rear axle. On surfaces with perfect grip torque is distributed to 90-10 per cent, variable ratio up to 50-50 when the stations recorded a loss of adhesion. Also intended to evaluate the changes to the rear axle: the twist beam (used by the A1 front-wheel drive) it hinders the passage of the drive shaft.
New Chevrolet HHR 2LT Review
The Scion just looked cheap inside, the Kia had a nice interior, but looked as if it were designed to appeal more to teenagers. The HHR had a quality look, and feel to it, with enough tasteful chrome accents to keep it from being bland, yet subdued enough to not make you feel like you were driving some Fast N Furious kids car. Overall, the interior is a the perfect mix of comfort, and support that makes for enjoyable trips to the store, or long hauls on the interstate.
The 2.4 litre has a surprising amount of get up, and go. Plenty for merging into 70mph traffic with confidence.
We recently got our first snow, and after previously owning a 4x4 jeep we were worried that the fwd HHR would disapoint in the snow. It goes perfecly well thru the snow, and the standard traction control, and Electronic Skid Control works really well. I actually tried to get the car out of shape in the snow, and the ESC kicked in, and kept the HHR out of trouble despite my best efforts to put it in the ditch. This is a feature that makes me a lot less nervous when I know my wife will be driving in slick, snowy conditions.
The Exterior styling is a love it or hate it kind of thing. I personally dig it because it doesn't look like all the other jellybean shaped cars on the road.
Our HHR has just over 40K miles on it now, and it's been completely trouble free.
OH, and one last thing, with the cold weather, the standard remote start is a very usefull feature!
Did I mention the stereo Rocks? It does!
Great Job Chevrolet! I'd recomend this car to anyone looking for a high quality, economical, car with lots of room for all your stuff.
