Car and Motorcycle Modification Contest

Yamaha Mio, Honda Vario, dan Suzuki Spin, sekilas memang memiliki teknologi yang sama. Tapi, apakah kita akan mengambil salah satunya tanpa pertimbangan. Ada baiknya kita cermati ulasan perbandingan antara ketiganya berikut ini :

1. Yamaha Mio

Bisa dibilang Mio merupakan bintangnya motor matik di Indonesia. Bagaimana tidak sejak peluncurannya hingga saat ini, penjualan Mio mampu mendongkrak share penjualan Yamaha. Kehadirannya bahkan membuat sang kakak alias Nouvo menjadi kalah populer. Lucunya, meski diperuntukkan untuk kaum hawa, Mio terbukti laris manis dibeli para pejantan tangguh. Kalau mau jujur, Mio berhasil mengedukasi pasar dan membenamkan image bahwa motor matik oke-oke saja digunakan untuk aktivitas sehari-hari.  

Kalaupun ada yang kurang dari sosok Mio adalah faktor tangki bahan bakar yang imut, sehingga membuatnya harus sering mampir ke pompa bensin. Kapasitas tangki Mio menurut buku manual ''cuma'' 3,7 liter — sama dengan bebek Honda. Masalahnya, motor matik cenderung boros karena membutuhkan putaran mesin yang cukup tinggi agar motor bisa bergerak — lebih tinggi dari motor bebek dan motor sport. Selain itu, penyakit bawaan Mio adalah bunyi tikus di sektor roda belakang.

The performance data of ABT Audi S3 already convinces. But when Abt Sportsline modifies the S3, it results in a premium sports car which is suited perfectly for the daily use but also shows distinctive racing genes.

After the power treatment by the famous specialist for vehicles of the Volkswagen group, the 2.0 TFSI engine in the Abt S3 achieves 310 hp (228 kW) and overpowers his colleague from Ingolstadt by 45 hp (33kW). The quick Abt is distinctively more dynamic: 420 Newton meters of torque (the series model has 350 Newton meters) are pushing the driver deeply into the seat. The Abt S3 accelerates in 5.4 seconds from zero to 100 km/h and reaches a maximum speed from 258 km/h. For the sportive ambition of the driver the 45 additional horses are an inexpensive but worthwhile purchase.
