The Sporty Hatchback: The Honda CR-X

By Andy Zain

Honda released the first Honda CR-X into the Japanese market in 1984 and called it the Honda Ballade Sports CR-X. In other countries, this first generation CR-X was called the Civic CR-X, and most people saw it as a sporty Civic rather than a new car altogether.

To the US market, the CR-X was described as an economical sports hatch, seating two people. The Europeans were marketed a powerful engine and additional seats in the car, providing a 2+2 arrangement. In 1987, the CR-X was redesigned and stayed in production until the early 1990s.

The CR-X was a popular choice for younger drivers with great performance and handling capabilities and good economy. In the United States, the company of R. Straman created a convertible out of the CR-X, completing 310 of these "coach convertibles" between 1984 and 1987. The 1. 5 L model marketed in America as the CR-X HF (which stood for High Fuel economy) reliably achieved very good fuel economy and it cost no more than the basic model.

1987 saw the production of a 2nd generation of the Honda CR-X with a chassis modification to double independent wishbones. Fuel injection was introduced to the 1495 cc and the updated 1590 cc DOHC engines. From 1989, the CR-X shared the same 1595 cc VTEC engine as the Honda Integra, and these models were treated to some exterior modifications of bumpers, lights and dash, as well.

There were 3 different second generation models and engine types available in the United States. There was a basic model with a 1495 cc engine; the mid range model was fitted with an 8 valve, 1495 cc engine; and the Si (sports injection) sports model came with a 16 valve, 1590 cc engine. This Si model also sported a sliding moon roof that was power operated.

In Japan, a model with a fixed glass roof was available, which reached from windscreen to hatchback. Though never marketed in other countries, this model has become a favorite of car buffs.

The Honda CR-X was replaced in 1992 with the new Honda Civic del Sol. Although called a Civic, enthusiasts considered it the third generation of CR-X. Rumors have been circulating for some years about a return of the Honda CR-X and enthusiasts have been eager to see it arrive. Finally it seems that a new CR-X may become one of Honda's hybrid cars in the future. - 21393

The Long Life Of The Ford Escort

By Andy Zain

The Ford escort over the years, especially in North America, wore many different types of sheet-metal though all were aimed the compact market -- which prior to 1981 Ford had for all intents and purposes ignored. Beginning in that model year, however Ford introduced what it called "the world car" for the benefit of its customers in North America.

As a model that ran up through the 2003 model year, the compact Escort had a very nice life. The new Focus picked up the load after the little compact was put out to pasture though thousands of them still run on the roads to this day. Originally based of model off the same name sold in Europe, it was redesigned extensively before being put forward for sale to Americans.

The Ford Escort was also the company's first front-wheel-drive car, and it replaced Ford's subcompact Pinto, which had been in production since 1971 and had been through several controversies which impacted sales of that model. In the 1980s, the Escort was one of Ford's most successful models. In fact, it was so well-liked that it was the single best selling car in the United States by its second year and for most of the 1980s.

There were three different generations of Ford Escort sold in the North American market, with each one being an improvement over the other. Different body styles and options packages combined with a wide variety of four-cylinder engines and various transmissions over the years. There was even a small 52 horsepower diesel at one end and a turbocharged dynamo that could spool up to produce 120 horsepower at the other.

Over the course of the third, and last, generation (1997-2202), the engineers at Ford had put it all together, creating an admired small car that could put out nice performance using its four-cylinder engines and also show off relatively attractive sheet metal that appealed to a lot of customers.

Over the two-plus decades of the car's life, the Escort appeared in a variety of body styles. There was a hatchback sporting what Ford called "three doors, " and a station wagon model along with a couple of different performance sport coupes that first appeared on the scene back in 1998. The designers also kept up the car's appearance, freshening and redesigning it over the years.

Over its life, the Ford Escort played a vital part in keeping the car's Dearborn-based automaker alive and well. Keeping it in showrooms allowed the company to learn how to manufacture compact vehicles while simultaneously selling a great many of them to many a customer. This had the happy effect of keeping the Blue Oval on the minds of many consumers and for that reason alone, the Escort must be considered a success. - 21393

New York Car Insurance - Save Some Cash!

By Elie Martina

New York car insurance laws:

$25,000 Bodily Injury Liability; $50,000 for an injury causing death; $50,000 for an injury of two or more people in the other party; $100,000 death of two or more people of the other party, $25,000 Uninsured Motorist insurance coverage; $50,000 max $50,000 minimum Personal Injury Protection $10,000 minimum Property Damage Liability

New York's no-fault system states that each party pays for their own injuries, no matter who caused the wreck. Personal Injury Protection will cover medical help for the driver, passengers, and any pedestrians who were struck by the vehicle.

If Personal Injury Protection insurance coverage will pay for each party's needs, why must New Yorkers also possess Bodily Injury Liability Insurance? If another party takes out a lawsuit, claiming you were at fault for an accident, your Property Damage Liability and Bodily Injury Liability should cover those costs. In order to file a lawsuit over an car accident in New York, one's injury must be deemed "serious", or costs must exceed the Personal Injury Protection insurance coverage.

In order to register a vehicle in New York, you must show a valid coverage card and have your vehicle coverage company send an electronic file to the DMV. If any lapses in coverage occur, the Department of Motor Vehicles will send a notice through the mail. If you know your coverage will lapse for any reason, you must give your license plates to the Department of Motor Vehicles in order to avoid suspensions. Additionally, all New York vehicles must be insured by a vehicle coverage company that is authorized by the New York coverage Department.

If your car insurance lapses for less than 90 days, you may opt to pay a penalty rather than submit your license plate. For the first thirty days you will pay eight dollars per day. The next thirty days will bring a charge of ten dollars a day. From then on until day 90, the charge will by twelve dollars a day. This means you could end up paying $900 in fees.

Instead of worrying about fees and surrendered license plates, stay organized and find car insurance at a great cost! Searching for car insurance on the web is the easiest way to compare prices. Some websites will give you multiple quotes, which is the most efficient way of shopping for car insurance. While searching for quotes, don't forget factors like age, profession, driving record, safety features, and credit score can all play a part in lowering your premium. Happy shopping! - 21393

The Consequential, Import Fighting Chevy Vega

By Andy Zain

The near-decade of the Chevy Vega kicked off in the 1970 model year and ended its run after the 1977 market offering, when General Motors decided to put an end to its run. Sadly, it seems the vehicle -- though innovative for its time -- was never given all the pieces it needed to make a long go of things.

It was notable, though, in how quickly it was brought from concept to final product, taking only two years, which was a record for GM back in those days. It also came in a number of 2-door body styles, including a notchback wagon and even a panel express delivery truck.

Taking into account that the Vega was a compact vehicle and that Chevy intended for it to be an import fighter and an entry vehicle for first-time car buyers, the car seemed to do well enough when seen in that light. Due to changes in market forces, though, it ultimately failed to last for as long as it was hoped.

Perhaps as a benefit of strong marketing tactics, the Vega was a top-10 best seller by 1974, though engine shortcomings in both durability and power led the public to perceive that it was maybe not a very well-made car. That engine's aluminum block initially proved shaky in terms of reliability, but was lightweight and Chevy worked hard to iron out defects over time.

Eventually, the little 4 cylinder mills that were offered proved to be the car's undoing due to their poor quality -- at least initially -- and mediocre performance. Some years into production Chevy began making a similar vehicle called the Monza that was made on the Vega's platform and soon enough, the company put an end to the Vega, with 1977 being the last call for the little 2-door. The Monza itself was put to bed in 1980.

Today, though looked upon in a better light, many experts say that the Vega was illustrative of the issues that American automakers had in making cars in the 1970s. For its time, the Vega attempted to include many cues which were thought of as being "European" in nature back then, including fuel injection and lighter-weight materials.

The Chevy Vega in all its different styles proved consequential in a number of ways for the company and its parent, General Motors. It made it to market in only 2 years from conception, which was quite impressive for an age when it could be several years before a model might see the light of day. This is probably the signal achievement of the once-notable Vega. - 21393
