The Lush Ford Fiesta

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the 2011 Ford Fiesta as a ‘Top Safety Pick car.’ According to them, it is the most highly-ranked safety car of 2011.

Ford Fiesta was put to test where it performed well in a roof strength test and earned a score of “Good” in front, side, rollover and rear crash protection tests. IIHS says that “no other minicar the Institute has tested has earned top ratings in all four safety ratings.”

According to Consumer Reports: “Competitors to the Fiesta include the Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, Mini Cooper, and Toyota Yaris, which all earned an Acceptable score in the roof test; the Chevrolet Aveo earned a Marginal rating.”

While all of this sounds good, there is a catch. CNN reports that “the award only applies to Fiestas built after July 2010, when Ford made design changes to minimize the possibility of doors opening in side impact crashes.”

An Insight to Infiniti G25

Get ready for the Infiniti line-up expansion this September with the introduction of the G25, a new entry-level sedan at a starting price of $30,950. Following its predecessor, G25 packs all the amenities of the G37 sedan, but with less power and a budget-minded price tag.

Three models are noted to take off first: G25 Sedan, G25 Sedan Journey and G25x Sedan AWD. The G25 will pack a 2.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 218 horsepower. By comparison, the G37 has 328 horsepower. The G25 Sedan will come with a standard 7-speed automatic transmission and is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

The standard G25, G25 Journey or G25x (AWD) comes equipped with leather and power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, six-speaker audio, 17-inch aluminum wheels, HID Xenon headlamps and the normal array of electo-nannies. An optional RearView monitor and dual-zone temperature control, along with heated front seats and outside mirrors, are available on the Journey.

“With the new G25 Sedan, we’re broadening the appeal of the G Line with a model designed to provide an additional choice for buyers looking for a true luxury sedan, but who might not need the higher levels of performance provided by our larger engine-equipped G37 models,” said Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore.
