Daihatsu Sirion Black Red Silver


The new Daihatsu Sirion was launched back in 2005. At that time the 1.0-litre S, base model, was reasonably priced at £7,460. Incredibly, almost three years on, the same model has increased in price by just £35, which illustrates Daihatsu’s continuing commitment to ‘value-for-money’ motoring.
In 2005, there were only two engine choices; the 1.0, 3-cylinder and the 1.3, 4-cylinder petrol units. There were also just two trim levels; S and SE. This changed in 2006 with the advent of the sporty 1.3 SX, which went on sale as a ‘special edition’.


The Sirion proved popular, as did the SX. So much so, that the SX became a permanent part of the range, until November of last year (2007), when Daihatsu upped the ante by replacing the 1.3 unit, at this level, with a new 1.5 unit.
But that is not the only good news; all Sirions now have new bumpers, wheels, grippier fabric-covered seats and revised rear suspension but still no diesel option. However, the big news is the new SX, which was the test car.
This 4-cylinder engine produces 103PS at 6,000rpm and 132Nm at 4,400rpm. The top speed is 109mph and it takes 10.1 seconds to reach 60mph (not 62mph) from a standing start.
That is with the 5-speed, manual gearbox that I found to be somewhat awkward and on occasions, a little reluctant to slip into the right gate. There is an alternative 4-speed automatic version of the SX and the 1.3 SE, which makes the car a bit slower and not quite as frugal.


The test car has fuel consumption figures of 32.8-, 54.3- and 44.1mpg for the urban, extra-urban and combined, respectively. While these numbers are good, the 1.0 Sirion takes the prize for fuel economy with a combined figure of 56.5mpg and it emits just 118g/km of CO2 as opposed to the 145g/km of the test car.


Another benefit of the 1.5SX is that it comes with Vehicle Stability Control or VSC, which is a traction control system that takes care of minor skids and indiscretions. It works well and provides an extra safety blanket alongside the standard ABS with EBD, and four airbags.

2011 volvo v40

2011 volvo v40 Spec and Information Of The 2011 Volvo S40 Spec And Information Of The 2011 Volvo S40, There used to be a distinct gap between premium and non-premium sedans. In recent years, that gap has been filling up with attractively priced four-doors with luxury aspirations. The 2011 Volvo S40 is such a sedan, with more prestige than your run-of-the-mill domestic model, but not quite as much sophistication as the established European competitors. The niche positioning, however, presents some problems. On the positive side, the Volvo S40 certainly looks the part of a European sport sedan. Even though this latest generation has been in production for seven years now, the S40 manages to still look fresh. This is especially true on the inside, where the sleek "floating waterfall" center stack and available two-tone upholstery continue to set this car apart from its more conservative rivals. Under the hood you'll find a standard 227-horsepower tu...
