Top five family hatchbacks

Luxury hatchbacks

If you’re in the market for a new family hatchback below is a rundown on the top five as voted by a renowned online car buyer’s guide.

Top of the picks is the Volkswagen Golf hatchback which is described by the use of words like ‘refined’, ‘comfortable’ and ‘fun’. As most Volkswagen cars it’s reliable and well built and holds it value well, it comes with an array of safety kit as standard and both looks and feels good to drive. It’s only let down by its rather conservative appearance.

In at number two comes the Skoda Octavia which has more space than the VW Golf and offers great value for money. But the models on the lower end of the price scale also miss out on some equipment so expect to pay more for things like rear electrical windows and alloys.

The green Toyota Prius gets the third spot with its spacious cabin and big boot. It’s got excellent fuel economy and low emission which makes up for the rather disappointing interior.

Top hatchbacks, top 10 hatchbacks

Forth in the top five is the Hyundai i30 which is the cheapest of the top five cars and also comes with a great warranty package. It’s described as a solid car but a bit bland.

Last of the top five cars is the Mazda 3 which is described as funky and fun with good resale value.

So if you’re in the market for a new family hatchback, you probably won’t go wrong by checking out one of the above. If you’re after a new Volkswagen, Mitcham has a dealership which should be able to help.

Ferrari 458 Italia Manettino, Launch Control and Interior

The 458 Italia is equipped with a racing manettino switch leading toward more sporting set ups and giving the driver a wider selection of electronic controls parameters. The ICE setting saw in the F430 has been removed, while the CT setting has been added in order to deactivate the traction control and at the same time maintain the stability control. There are five different manettino positions and conditions: Low Grip, Sport, Race, CT and CTS. Low Grip setting provides maximum grip under all driving conditions, and it is particularly suited for low grip surfaces.

 The emphasis is on comfort and stability without compromising the handling. Sport is the best setting for day to day driving and guarantees great safety under good grip. Race is particularly suitable for track driving providing maximum performance and stability in optimal grip situations. CT helps the driver improving his driving skills in safety, by keeping active the stability control.
 It allows over-steer right to the edge of the car’s limits and guarantees enhanced driving pleasure and fun behind the wheel, particularly on the track. Under CTS setting, both stability and traction control systems are deactivated, giving the driver maximum freedom and control on the track. No electronic systems intervene on the vehicle stability with the exception of E-diff3 and ABS.

On the 458 Italia, the driver can decouple the suspension damping from the electronic configuration selected on the manettino. The suspension decoupling button offers improved “filtering” of uneven road surfaces in order to improve performance and handling on uneven broken surfaces, such as the ones at the Nürburgring race track.

The launch control button is instead designed to offer the best possible acceleration from standstill. It delivers the maximum possible torque to the ground and prevents wheel spin as the car accelerates away. Its activation is indicated in the instrument panel. To start using the Launch control, the manettino must be selected on race, CT or CTS setting. With the car still at standstill, the driver then needs to put the gearbox in manual, selects first gear, pushes the launch control, presses the accelerator pedal and then releases the brake pedal.

The stylistic interior choices developed by Ferrari Centro Stile reflect a functional, ergonomic cockpit design. The driver is set in the center of a streamlined and intuitive layout, which is very much in line with the marquee’s signature styling cues.
