The Cruze is low on breakthrough technologies, but it is a thoroughly well-engineered car, with an ultra-strong structure and low center of gravity. GM says 65 percent of its body and structure are made from high-strength steel. The fit and finish is improved over current GM small cars’, as highlighted by the small gaps between the body panels, which require precise stamping and accurate assembly. On the road, the rigid body and the extensive sound dampening translate into less noise.

The Austin Metro was first introduced in October 1980 and was initially only on sale to the UK market, export sales to the European market following in early 1981. The 998 cc and 1275 cc engines are fitted, with low compression and economy versions available. The body is of computer-based design and is assembled and welded by computer-controlled robots. The “A-Plus” engine and gearbox assembly is similar to that fitted to the Mini range, although it is much improved, with durability and economy prime considerations. Drive is through the front wheels and the engine/gearbox unit is fitted transversely across the front of the car.
Tips for a Spotless Exterior
1. Wash your vehicle in a shaded area. Your vehicle’s surface should be cool. If the car’s hot, the soap suds will dry too quickly, staining the surface and requiring another wash.
2. Pre-soak your vehicle to remove heavy contaminants like boulders and squirrel remains.
3. Use mild liquid soap and a car-wash mitt or sponge– and don’t skimp on the water.
4. Wash one section at a time, and then rinse it off. Start with the roof of the car, then proceed to the hood and the rear. Next, clean the upper sections of the sides, and then, finally, clean the lower areas, including the rocker panels, which invariably have the most dirt. Why this sequence? If you clean the lower sections first, you’ll wash the dirt from the top of the car back down onto the lower parts.
But, more importantly, you run the risk of having small pieces of debris adhere to the mitt or sponge, and could scratch the vehicle.
5. Always hose off your mitt or sponge before putting it back in the wash bucket to re-soap. In other words, start with a bucket of clean soap– and end with a bucket of clean soap.
6. Rinse your vehicle thoroughly. When you think you’re done rinsing—that’s when you give it a final rinse!
7. Use a different mitt to clean the tires and rims. Using a separate mitt for the wheels will reduce the chance that you’ll scratch the car’s paint with brake dust and dirt you pick up from the rims.
8. Be very cautious when cleaning wheels, especially if you’re using a spray-on wheel cleaner. This is not just for your car’s health, but for your’s as well. Wheels can be extremely hot if the car has just been driven. This is especially likely with wheels that use high-performance brakes. When you spray wheel-cleaning chemicals on hot metal, the chemicals will vaporize—and you’ll inhale them, which can’t possibly be good for you. (See also: Tommy).
9. Forget the pricey automotive cleaners. Instead, use a mild, liquid soap that’s well diluted. That’ll do everything you need, such as removing dirt, grease, and films without damaging plastics or other materials. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than the aggressively marketed, fancy products.
The Jaguar XJS has always been a desirable car for anyone wanting a big, comfortable GT to waft along in luxury. That’s fine if someone else is paying the fuel bills, but when this Jaguar left the production line its 5.3-litre V12 engine would have been returning about 15mpg – single figures were possible if it was driven enthusiastically. David Frost has owned Jaguars most of his life, including several E-types and S-types. His first was a 3.8 Mk2 manual overdrive that he bought when he was 26. After owning an XJS coupé, David fancied a drophead. He spotted this 1992 convertible on eBay and was intrigued to see it had a diesel engine conversion.

First and foremost, the 508 unveils Peugeot’s new design philosophy. Its strong visual identity is instantly recognisable and suggests power, refinement and technology. The designers have paid particular attention to the front of the car, creating a slick, feline look with bi-xenon directional head lights* coupled with LED based day-time running lights for a unique stylistic signature. At the rear, distinctive light clusters give the car great presence at night. The sculptured profile is beautifully refined and enhanced further by the contour of glass surfaces outlined in brushed chrome*.
