Automotive history is full of experiments. Designers and engineers constantly searched for new forms, technologies, and marketing ideas. That is why there appeared cars that today look eccentric, futuristic, or even comical. These weird looking cars were reflections of their time, culture, and engineering ambitions. Reviewing them shows how unusual designs, even when impractical, pushed the indust...

Japanese cars have long been regarded as a symbol of engineering precision and reliability. From their first mass-market models in the mid-20th century to today’s cutting-edge hybrids and EVs, Japanese manufacturers have consistently delivered vehicles that combine practicality, style, and advanced technology. Around the world, they are admired not only for their durability but also for their inno...

The car body not only defines the appearance of a vehicle but also its functional characteristics. The choice of car body shape determines key parameters such as usability, comfort level, capacity, safety, and overall practicality. Different types of structures strike a balance between aerodynamics, interior volume, and load-bearing capacity.An incorrect choice of body type can lead to a mismatch...

A quiet cabin car is not a luxury, but a necessity for comfortable and safe driving. Constant exposure to noise, especially at volumes above 70 dB, leads to increased driver fatigue, reduces concentration, and increases the risk of road accidents. According to some reports, noise intensity of 80 dBA can reduce endurance by 25% and increase fatigue by 11%.In this article, we will examine the criter...

Your neighbor buys a quiet, economical electric car, and you understand why. But deep down, something is missing. What's actually missing is the drama, the character. And most importantly, the sound is missing – that same deep rumble you heard in old movies. The sound of a real muscle car.Why do these simple and raw machines still command such reverence? They aren't the fastest on a racetrack. And...

Cyprus is an island practically made for road trips. Scenic mountain routes, secluded beaches hidden far from tourist trails, and ancient monasteries—many of the most interesting places can only be reached by car. Renting a car here isn't a luxury; it's the key to discovering the real, non-touristy Cyprus. However, when you get behind the wheel, it's important to remember that you are entering a d...

Rain turns the road into a mirror. The first snow on a mountain pass catches you by surprise. A dirt road to the beach has turned to mud after a downpour. In such moments, drivers of regular cars slow down and tense up. Owners of cars with all-wheel drive (AWD) simply continue driving with confidence. In 2025, AWD technology ceased to be an attribute exclusively of off-roaders, becoming available...

The cost of fuel is constantly rising, turning every trip into a significant expense. And naturally, you want to save money and not spend huge sums at the next fill-up. But is this achievable if you have to drive a lot and, consequently, use a lot of gasoline or diesel? Yes, it is! The key is to know the secrets of smart saving. And it's not just about how many kilometers you drive in a day.In fac...

The transmission is one of the most complex and expensive components in your vehicle. Its repair costs can rival the price of a used car. Many drivers prefer not to think about it as long as it's working. This approach often leads to a minor issue, which could have been fixed for a small sum, escalating into a catastrophic failure and requiring the replacement of the entire unit.Ignoring the first...

The third child seat doesn't fit in the back row. The trunk is occupied by a stroller, so there's no room for bags. And a trip to the beach with friends turns into a complex logistical operation instead of bringing joy. If these scenarios sound familiar, your five-seater car has become too small.Sooner or later, a large family faces the question of buying a more spacious car. This is where the sev...

Japanese cars are traditionally renowned for their exceptional reliability, impeccable condition even after years of use, and, importantly, their favourable price. Thanks to strict domestic legislation (primarily the regular and expensive Shaken vehicle inspection), cars in Japan are used carefully and are often sold with minimal mileage.In Cyprus, more and more drivers are recognising these advan...

A car battery can lose its charge for various reasons. The main causes include electrical consumers left on (headlights, dome light, stereo), self-discharge during long periods of inactivity, frequent short trips, a faulty alternator, battery aging, and low ambient temperatures. A parasitic draw due to incorrectly installed aftermarket devices can also be a factor.The need to jump a car with jumpe...
