exotic cars sports

Have you ever looked longingly at a Ferrari or Maserati sitting beside you at a stop light? Did you watch with envy as it nimbly disappeared into the distance as you coaxed your practical family transport to blend in with the rest of the "practical" cars in the traffic? Maybe it's time to experience life on the other side of the tail lights with an exotic car rental.
Maybe you're out of town on business and just don't feel yourself behind the wheel of a Grand Cherokee. You are already missing your Hummer, back home at the airport parking lot. You need to find an exotic car rental agency.
For that special occasion, the proposal, the big grand opening, opening night at the theater-when only arriving in a Porche will make the right statement, you need an exotic car rental. After all, you've bought the ring, you've rented the tux, why not rent your ride to match?
If you've ever taken a cruise or spent a weekend at an expensive golf resort and thought you'd rather be doing something else, like winding along coast or mountain highways with the throbbing sensation of power and superb handling that only a fine sports car can deliver, you need an exotic car rental. And it won't cost any more than that vacation you didn't enjoy nearly as much.
Most major cities have exotic car rental agencies with a wide range of makes and models, but dealers in smaller cities may also have demonstrators for rent. The daily rental rates average about one percent of the sticker price on the car, per day, about what you would pay for a luxury hotel room or a stateroom on a cruise. Of course, the availability of an exotic car rental depends on your age and driving record, to an even greater extent than with a standard car rental, and the insurance coverages will be much higher.
The distinction between a luxury car and an exotic car is somewhat a matter of taste: luxury cars are made for comfort and dependability as well as power. Exotic cars are built for performance-speed and handling, or, like the Hummer, the ability to go almost anywhere on or off road, in style. Your exotic car rental will not only outperform everything below its class on the road, but the same attention to detail in the engineering and construction extends to the accessories and appointments. If you drive one at home, why settle for less when you are traveling?
If you are interested in an exotic car rental to fulfill a dream or just to experience how the "other side" lives, be prepared for a surprise, or a steep learning curve. These cars are characterized by two things: power and responsiveness. Most have in excess of 400 horsepower, for quick acceleration and high top speed, and the steering and suspension to keep controllable at high speed. For an enjoyable experience, make sure your driving skills are up to the challenge, and drive responsibly.

Honda has a sterling reputation for its reliable and affordable cars and they step it up a notch with their daring crossover vehicle, the 2010 Crosstour. This vehicle is an ingenious combination of sedan and wagon wrapped into one smooth package. Aesthetics wise it's a bit different than any other car you will see on the streets, mainly due to its back end. The frame is based on the Accord, however the Crosstour sports a lot more power and luxury amenities. Five individuals can be comfortably seated with more than enough leg room. Two trims can be selected from; the base EX and the more upscale EX-L.
The engine which runs this auto is a powerful V6 3.5 Ltr with 271 hp and 254 lb feet of torque. This vehicle accelerates from zero to sixty in just 7.5 seconds and can reach the quarter mile in 15.5 seconds. In terms of fuel economy, it gets around 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the freeway. The drive is enjoyable and smooth, merging is a cinch due to the horsepower, plus the cabin remains quiet even at fast speeds.
Features Include a power moon roof, adjustable front seats, a stereo system with a cd changer and a dual zone climate control. The more upscale EX-L model adds on a steering wheel wrapped in slick leather, temperature controlled front seats and seamless integration with Bluetooth smart phones. An optional navigation system can be added at an additional cost which includes voice recognition and the ability to receive up to date traffic and weather updates. Trunk space is at 25.7 cubic ft which can be expanded to 51.3 cubic feet if the back seats are folded down. A really cool and nifty feature is the hidden and removable utility box right under the cargo floor which can be used to store extra items.
Honda engineers included numerous safeguards in order to ensure the safety of all passengers. The Vehicle Stability Assist system automatically adjusts pressure of the brakes in order to regain control during oversteering or understeering situations. The ABS system works to maintain control when you brake hard plus a Tire Pressure Monitoring system lets you know when your tire pressure is under or over inflated. Engineers also included Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering structure which works to distribute impact force over a larger area during an accident and away from passengers. There are also front, side and curtain airbags in place plus with active head restraints which protect against whiplash occurrences.
Honda's 2010 Crosstour would be smart choice for anyone looking for a vehicle with a clever place to store additional items and a plethora of amenities for your comfort. It offers the adaptability of a wagon and sedan in one clever package. Pricing starts at around $29k, which is in the high end for an Accord but in return, the Crosstour offers additional items not found in the regular Accord lineup.

Ford produced the mustang which generally used a v8 engine with exception of the SVO. The SVO like the Buick used a turbo to make power out of its four cylinder engine. Ford offered a turbo and supercharged version of the Thunderbird also. Ford also produced the lightening which was a powerful AWD truck. Dodge/Mitsubishi made a turbocharged charger and omni which made descent power and was light. They also produced the turbo eclipse and the TSI. Also they produced the stealth.
Imports finally had a chance to fit into the performance scene. Most already came with smaller engines now needed to pass emissions. Many imports also had turbos which allowed for easy power improvements. Nissan had the 300 ZX 240sx and the Datsun 240, 260, 280 z and 280zx which were good starting platforms for performance. Mazda had the rx7 which was a very light car with a high power rotary engine. The 323gtx was also a fun tunable car. Mazda also came out with the Miata at the end of the decade.
Toyota made the Celica and the supra which both performed well and could be heavily modified. Toyota also made the mid engine MR-2 which performed well. Honda made the prelude and the crx which used light weight cars to perform.
European performance cars include the Porsche 911and 944 among almost every model made by them. BMW also had many good models such as the M3. Audi, Volvo, Mercedes all had performance cars also but were geared more toward luxury.
