2009 Acura TSX: Safety First

Posted by admin under Latest Car Releases

The engine performance and the style of cars are often the only bases used in choosing a car that we want to own; taking for granted other useful factors and conditions such as the safety features provided in a specific car model.

This is what caught my attention about 2009 Acura TSX. This model made my Honda is using its safety features to make people think of this model in choosing the car to buy. Aside from the typical driver and front seat passenger seatbelts, this 2009 Acura is designed to reduce the impact on the passengers during car collisions through the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACETM) body structure that makes use of crash energy absorbing technology and directs frontal crash energy to upper and lower structural areas. This technology also enables the distribution of frontal impact forces around and away from the passenger compartment that limits cabin deformation for better passenger protection.

Under the Active Safety Systems that can be given by 2009 Acura TSX are a 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control (Electronic Stability Control).

On the other hand, among the Passive Safety System features are 5-mph front bumper and 2.5-mph rear bumper plus new ACE™ body structure, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions. It also has front seatbelt load limiters with automatic tensioning system and dual-stage, dual-threshold front and new dual-chamber front seat side airbags. This Acura model also has side curtain airbags for all onboard seating positions and head restraints for all seating positions as well as child car-seat attachment system positioned in the rear seat.

BMW X6 50i

Posted by admin under Latest Car Releases

The 2008 BMW X6 50i has already been drive tested. This BMW model is an automatically transmitted car that can carry only four people – three passengers and the driver. Although it has a limited number of passengers, it provides a comfortable seat – just the seat, for anyone especially for older people for the rear seats are designed just like in those in the front. However, it seems that 6 footer people need to bow their heads down as they ride in the car for it has a low roof at the rear. The X6 50i can also provide just 59.7 cubic feet of space - a very little space for your goods and things when the rear seats are folded.

This BMW got lots of power with torque of 450 pound-feet. The X6 is a lot heavier than other car models weighing 5,269 pounds (geesh!) It has a quick steering that enables it to arc into curves easily and 14.4-inch brake rotors that can easily decelerate or stop the speed with the fat tires giving a strong grip on the roadway.

The design, I think is of less importance, but overall, it is ok. It looks like a very tiny car that has curves behind, nothing so special about its looks.

The style is ok, agility is excellent, the price is more than 8k higher than a Porsche, the space is minimal and it’s more of a personal car, not for a family. Is the 2008 BMW X6 50i really worth buying? Nah, I don’t think so!
