2018 Audi A5: Audi won’t quite confirm that the new A5 Sportback is coming to the U.S. market. But trust us, it will. And when it does, it will continue the work begun by the grander A7: redeeming the hatchback in the eyes of Americans. That’s why we got behind the wheel of this sleek variant of the A4 sedan on its German home turf. The Sportback is 1.6 inches lower in overall height than the A4, but all other dimensions are within a fraction of the regular sedan’s. Mechanically, the cars are identical, which means the Sportback is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque—the same as in all A4s other than the Ultra. This engine is more than sufficient—it’s so powerful that it renders the upmarket S5 Sportback a luxury, and we predict it will hurl this hatchback to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed limited to 130 mph. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, this long-stroke 2.0-liter is a surprisingly eager and playful companion. It feels like a much larger engine, with virtually no turbo lag, and even the engine note is sufficiently sporty and aggressive. There are six-cylinder engines on the market that sound far less enticing than this boosted four. The A5 Sportback’s seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox has its own character that differs from that of a conventional, torque-converter automatic. The torque multiplication during launches from a stop is missing, but it is supremely responsive in the 50-to-70-mph range. The gearbox can be manipulated with shift paddles, but drivers soon will notice that it generally does everything right when left to its own devices. Audi keeps improving this transmission; previously, we found the Sport setting to be a bit too extreme, but here it’s easy to live with. We’ve praised Audi’s MLB-Evo chassis before. It yields a car that is light, precise, and graceful on the road. The steering is not artificially heavy, and the limits of adhesion are high, with the various electronic helpers discreetly working to keep the handling near neutral.
2018 Mazda MX-5
2018 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA – 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.
