2018 Mazda MX-5 RF:
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DESIGN: The seat of the 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata comes with a special support for the hips and back. Like always, the car is built to offer a comfortable ride no matter the distance. The three-arm steering wheel allows the driver to manoeuvre freely. Behind the wheel is the instrument panel which displays all the relevant information as well as important elements for both the driver and vehicle. In addition to the automatic air conditioning that comes with this new generation model, it also has heaters in the seats, speed limiters, cruise control, a speed limiter which checkmates your speed level and a start/stop system. It also comes with a high performing navigation system to direct the driver. The car has an excellent audio system but that’s not all. The head restraints are also installed with quality Bose speakers to offer great musical experience. The exterior of the 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata is simply amazing. Just like the interior is built for comfort, the exterior is built to show off. The hard-top roof has a very impressive folding mechanism. The car resembles a fastback coupe when the roof is up, but when it is down, it does not fold completely. The 2018 MX-5 Miata does not look like a regular convertible. It comes with two rear buttresses that make it look like a Targa-top. The buttresses are specially made out of plastic, in order to save weight and make it run faster. However, the role of these buttresses is simply to hide the roof’s steel mechanism. 2018 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA – ENGINE SPECS AND FUEL ECONOMY: The Mazda MX-5 Miata 2018 comes with 2.0-litres naturally aspirated engine that operate saliently. In addition, its precision steering coupled with the 6-speed automatic or manual transmission allows drivers to enjoy a smooth and comfortable driving. The engine of this model will come with an output of 155 hp as well as a torque of 148 lb/ft. The acceleration, which is from 0 to 60 mph stands this model out and is achieved in just 7.3 seconds. Fuel economy is not a problem for this amazing sports car. With the manual transmission, fuel consumption should be 26/33 mpg. On the other hand, fuel consumption for the automatic transmission is 26/35 mpg.
2018 Porsche 911 TARGA 4 GTS:
If you’ve driven along the edge of Donner Lake in Truckee, California, anytime in the past 15 years, you’ve noticed that turbocharged, all-wheel-drive automobiles parked along the side of the road aren’t exactly an uncommon sight. The Euer Saddle, marked as Donner Summit on I-80, sits at an elevation of 7239 feet and the lake itself at 5936. To the south, Echo Summit on Highway 50 reaches 7382 feet, while the Carson Pass on State Route 88 hits 8574. Even Reno, just down the mountain—and the former home of Porsche’s North American arm—lies at a 4505-foot elevation, not a whole lot lower than Denver. Up there, forced induction is a must to maintain performance in the thin air. Donner Pass also holds the distinction of being one of the snowiest places in the country, at least when California isn’t suffering from a drought. Until recently, the only Porsche 911 perfectly suited to the high-altitude sports-car mission was the extra-spendy 911 Turbo, which has featured four driven wheels since the end-of-the-aircooled-era 993 generation. Now, of course, every 911 except for the GT3 has a pair of charge-enhancing snails bolted to its flat-six engine. We predict a lot of 997 and 991.1 Carrera 4 models will find themselves listed on Reno/Tahoe’s Craigslist in short order, with a number of them, undoubtedly, replaced with a 2018 911 Targa 4 GTS...
