2018 Mazda 6- Enough time has passed, get on board with it

Mid-size sedan segment is still alive. At least in the US. The choice is still abundant, while we even saw some efforts in stirring things up, primarily referring to Ford Fusion Sport and its perky twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 boosting 325 hp. Even with usual offers, car makers are struggling to stay competitive and preserve as many buyers as they can from vicious lurk of crossovers, so we witnessed the arrival of the new Chevy Malibu which appeared as came from another planet, in the most positive sense, when you confront it with its predecessor. Things are becoming even more perplexed as queen of the sales of the sales-Camry decided to go visually berserk and to actually amuse in corners, while another buyer’s sweetheart or brand new Accord is just days away from official reveal and who knows what special treats it is bringing to us. How’s that affecting five years old gem from Mazda, let’s see.

BUYERS NEEDS TIME

New 2018 Mazda 6 doesn’t bring anything new to the closing part of this generation’s market life since we did have some nip and tuck in 2015, while last year we had some none visual novelties, among which G-Vectoring becoming a standard feature. Anyway, Mazda 6 pretty much still nails any comparison tests in its segment no matter which automotive magazine you pick, suggesting that it has enough potency to survive with dignity until a successor arrives. For some reason that didn’t translate into decent sales, leaving 6 sitting at the dead bottom of the segment with embarrassing figures, proving that sometimes buyers need some time to acknowledge radical changes and confronted with the past this Mazda changed a lot.

EYE PLEASER

Dull and plain visual approach perished with this generation and crowning it best looker in the segment might offend complexity of different palates, but sleekest and most elegant is hardly debatable. Despite some time on the market, passionate and curvaceous lines still make it well enough handsome, while special approach with interior might just seal the deal for you. Mazda pursuit for the premium feel paid its dues with strangely tight fittings and for this segment luscious materials, leaving you possibly grudging only about the excess noise and lack of visual flair, though restrained elegance is well suited for many.

FALLING SHORT

You don’t need to stress about engine choices as there is no any. 2.5-liter naturally aspirated L4 producing 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque is what you get and its sprint to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds seems fine as far as base engine offer in the segment is concerned. For some reason Mazda 6 haven’t applied for turbocharged 2.5-liter L4 found in CX-9 model, which pumps out healthy 250 hp, leaving it to fall short of rivals in case somebody asks for more peppiness. Naturally fed V6 is still an old norm in this class and those violating it, Sonata, Optima, Malibu, and soon Accord, managed to offer vigorous (read heavily turbocharged) L4s, while Fusion dared to strap its V6 with two turbos boosting by far highest power figures. Still, this Mazda has a neat trick under its sleeve.

DRIVING MATTERS

It is what Mazda claims and it is what Mazda delivers. Automatic with 6-speeds works just fine, but as rare delicacy you can go with beautifully precise and short shifting manual. And you should, as this mid-size sedan drives sublimely. Firm and solid chassis, properly weighted steering not afraid of communicating with you and proper cornering poise might as well push into oblivion lack of proper amount of horsepower. Combine that road poise with sophisticated cabin and refined looks, and you’ll note that 2018 Mazda 6 might as well keep its humble sales numbers floating until the new one arrives, which should be in charge of figures boosting as folks had enough time by now to comprehend what latest Mazdas stands for.

A Few facts about Courier Insurance

I know what you might be thinking when you hear the term insurance. You might be wondering why you need another type of cover. This is especially important to you if you happen to be driving for a living because this is where courier insurance comes in.

For some time now courier insurance has been a legal requirement in the UK. There are some hefty fines for not paying this sort of insurance and they can go as high as £1,000. Furthermore, if you don’t pay it your vehicle might be seized and you might be experiencing problems recovering it. If you use your van rarely, or even if you don’t use it at all, you still need to pay the premiums. It’s important that you comply with the latest legal requirements. The key here is to find the right courier insurance provider so that you don’t end up paying more than you need to.

Courier insurance is a legal requirement for anyone operating a courier business. This is true whether you’re self-employed or work for a courier business. If you’re unsure about the type of courier insurance you need, it’s important to speak with an expert, such as the team over at Insurance Revolution to ensure you’re getting the correct type of cover.

When browsing courier quotes, you’ll find a wide range of conditions and cover types. This is why it’s important to really get to know the type of cover you require. What type of goods do you usually carry? Are they left in your vehicle overnight? Where is your work vehicle stored when it’s not in use?

Another tip is to try and not base your choice of cover purely on cost. Some policies may cost less, but could end up costing you more in the long run. When it comes to insurance policies, you don’t always necessarily get what you pay for – some of the smaller, more niche insurers may offer cheaper prices than larger companies, for essentially the same policy.

Selling a 190 SL

The Mercedes 190 SL has stood the test of time as an iconic automobile. Built from 1955 to 1963, the little two seat roadster was considered a less expensive alternative to the larger 300 SL. But being less expensive than its big brother didn’t make the 190 SL a cheap car. It still carried the top quality engineering and design that Mercedes is known for.

It was designed to compete with the Morgan, the Jaguar and the Aston Martin in the two seat road car class. Though not specifically designed for racing, it provided enough handling and power to please its owners. The 1.9 L in line four cylinder engine sported twin two barrel carburetors and a four speed gear box. Mercedes was one of the first company’s to offer a fully independent suspension, both front and rear. The 190 SL came equipped with the double Y suspension as a standard feature, allowing it to grip the pavement better than most at the time.

For looks, the 190 SL retained Mercedes’ simple elegance, but with a far less boxy appearance than its larger models.  A convertible by nature, the 190 SL offered a soft top convertible and an optional hard top convertible that could be stored in the trunk. With leather bucket seats, a subtle accent of wood trim and Mercedes’ trademark lack of dashboard clutter, the interior was comfortable, functional and pretty to the eye.

Because of its quality and limited production, the 190 SL remains a highly coveted collector’s automobile. Those in possession of a 190 SL know that whatever the current condition, it is a vehicle worth restoration. A top quality restoration presents problems for some owners, as the availability of genuine parts; the skill needed to properly restore it may be beyond their limits. Many of these owners feel it may be wiser to sell their 190 SL to a deserving owner who will provide a good home to their collector car. As specialized dealers, they are a little more in tune with the limited collector’s market.

Fortunately, there are companies available that specialize in Mercedes’ automobiles and are willing to place a willing buyer and seller together and may help negotiate a fair price for both parties. Some dealers may be willing to purchase it on their own and complete the restoration process.  If the dealer offers a fair price to the seller, it is a win for both parties. The seller receives the going rate for a rare automobile and the buyer obtains the ability to restore an automotive classic to its original beauty.
