Have seen some with the IGNIS badge on them.. (y)

You mean the interior? (not referring to the "funny" part in almost all your posts"

Very funny..

It had 1.3 engine.<br /> the new model is known as beatle model which came with both 1.3 and 1.5<br /> But Ive seen a two door jeep model which had a 1.5 engine. Hard to find.<br /> Beatle model came from Japan as well as India. So better to avoid the Indian one though its cheaper.<br /> Beatle model which came with 1.5 engine was the sports version</p></blockquote> Ones with Vxi and Zxi badges are from India.. And were they known like that out of the factory? I don't think so. Is there a model name like civics and lancers have to differentiate? I think it's odd to name them beetle model and jeep model

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="peugeot407" data-cid="274221" data-time="1426218659"><p> Just for curiosity isn't vezels equipped with ESP?</p></blockquote> They are.. I think the car ran over the front wheel of the Tuk tuk lifting its wheels up and a hard right steering input might have made it topple over.. High C.G might have helped too. My thought after seeing the damage to the front of the Tuk tuk..

Rent a car for the weekend.. What would it cost?? 1000-2000 per day?

You meant Swift 1.3 and 1.5 by jeep model and "beatle" I guess.. Well thats how I know them.. is there a proper name to differentiate them? I mean like the names given by the company for the two models

Wrong steering input after crash? I believe it's essential to acknowledge drivers on driver inputs in emergency situations...

Anyone seeing any good points here? Strong Roof as killercruize suggested and door was opening.. We don't know the strength of the impact though.. And rolling over isn't rare in here thanks to lawful three wheelers and Busses

I have seen Pirrelis on 121s and axios.. From my experience, fantastic but mileage is on the low side

I never did anything u said.. Changed oil at 5000km... But I don't know the consequences.. Any brand new I owned were never treated like that..

to Add to your comment, Specially when people buy vehicles and register them under their business and not under their names. It's for business use, so it's a business expense. So the instalment can be reduced from the income as an expense. But they dig deep now, searching if that is the real case.

In the video it's 0-100km/h in 7.8 something seconds

yeah i agree

Business men tend to obtain leasing to undercut income taxes mainly. But some idiots sacrifice their job and salary for a car.. Pathetic people have to die that way Cz of their own mistakes like that

if not for those leasing companies that lend every boy and girl any amount of money they won't, we wouldn't see this big fleets of vezels, premios Allions and axios IMO

And as per Don's post on regular road tyres that shouldn't be a factor.<br /> Â <br /> ( I think it'd be safe to assume that its probably the tread pattern or the road / weather conditions affecting the tyre that made you think so.)</p></blockquote> Weather and roads are same for both vehicles so maybe it's the thread pattern. or maybe since the Pirelli ones are softer

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="The Don" data-cid="273399" data-time="1425290050"><p> Â <br /> Kavvz, the temperature of tyres only become relevant when so called sticky tyres are used.<br /> Â <br /> Slicks or semi slicks tyres which are fairly bald (semi slicks have some grooves in them to support all weather use and are road legal while slicks aren't) get a lot of their traction by sticking to the road. This happens when stress put on the tyres while driving (well they are pre warmed in racing conditions) makes the compound melt slightly causing it to stick to the road. This of course does cause the tyres to wear off relatively as miles pile on, but you get exceptional grip (stickiness is one factor, but due to the lack of grooves you have more rubber in contact with the road).<br /> Â <br /> Standard road tyres are build for durability and does not behave like this. Some of its grip does come from the compound (so softer rubber does offer more grip as it can follow the contours of the road better but does wear off faster) but also from the groove pattern, as in road tyres the grooves offer not just wet road water clearence (their primary function) but an increased traction due to increasion the friction ratio (to a less of an extent in fine asphalt but more on mixed mode roads and especially on dirt roads or roads with lose material on top).<br /> Â <br /> So warm or cold doesn't really make much of a difference in road tyres as you rightly point out. The only thing to take note is under warmer conditions the air inside tyres expand, so the tyre pressures do change from warm to cold. If you are pedantic you should ensure the right tyre pressure at warmer tyre temperatures </p></blockquote> Thanks Don.. Quite useful

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Kavvz" data-cid="273398" data-time="1425289259"><p> Apparently yes, warm tires are better. But I've never taken any of my cars to the track so I can't categorically state that. (Perhaps some of the members who do regularly track their cars can help you out better.)<br /> Â <br /> I can only share that: From my limited street driving / regular commuter drives that cold / warm tires don't make any significant difference if you stick to the speed limit and drive in a manner that's appropriate for public roads as I see no significant change in handling at the end of my commute vs the start of it.<br /> Â <br /> Air pressure on the other hand does make a significant impact on handling; which is why I check my air pressures often.</p></blockquote> Thanks mate. I found out that even after short journeys, Pirelli tires are Warmer than Yokohama tires. But this is in two different vehicles so not a good comparison. I thought its engineered that way to allow more traction as in races that's what happens

Agree with u totally. Are cooler tyres better? I always thought that having heat in the tyres is better for more traction and in reduced breaking distance.

Yesterday in the Colombo motor show some guy with a leaf told me that it has a range of 170-190km and charging time of 4.5 hours. When I asked him if the minimum range of 170km is achieved in any driving pattern, he was not sure..

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Kavvz" data-cid="273374" data-time="1425258982"><p> <br /> <br /> Thanks for the input gents. Did some googling and apparently the C class C450AMG is the replacement for the current c63 where the previous 6 litre naturally aspirated monster of an engine is being replaced with a 4 litre twin turbo. The hp and torque outputs remain about the same apparently...</p></blockquote> There are some reviews as well.. Some say it's more appropriate for pleasure of driving than the C63..
