Ligier Ambra - Leading The Way In Super-Minis

Ligier cars have come a long way from the sleek Formula One beauties to the affordable, eco-friendly, microcars ,and quadracycles with futuristic designs that can be driven with a bike license. These tiny city cars are imported throughout Europe. The Ligier Ambra leads the way in the small car segment. The 505 cc model is a mere 2.5 meters long and features a steel space framce with plastic body panels typical of small cars. The Ambra is easy to maneuver and park, which makes it ideal on congested roads. The Ligier Nova is another similar but more luxurious model that is popular in the small car segment.

Urban commuters that are constantly plagued with parking problems will find the Ligier Ambra the ideal car. The car makes up in features and applications for what it lacks in terms of looks, which is not a problem with most city dwellers today. To begin with the car is economical, and of course, eco-friendly, which is essential today, considering the sorry state of the environment and global warming threatening the very existence of life. The Ambra has done well to retain all the attributes of a car while keeping running costs down to the minimum, which is a boon to service class buyers.

If you are looking for a versatile super mini-car then the Ligier Ambra with its 505 cc petrol engine could be the answer. In terms of city driving, commuters aren't looking for a superlative performance from any car. The Ambra's maximum achievable speed of 65 mph is therefore enough to keep pace with city traffic. Without the hassles of having to change gears, driving through traffic seems a 'breeze' in an Ambra. The car has no gearbox, but is fitted with a constant velocity transmission gearbox that provides the required speed required to maneuver through city roads.

The Ligier Ambra may look like a small box likely to give you leg cramps. However, the cabin is spacious enough for two and there is still, unbelievably, room enough for luggage. Commuters can't ask for more in terms of every day commuting. The Ambra is fitted with alloy wheels, halogen headlamps, and a stereo. Talk about added comforts then there is electric windows, an electric boot release, remote central locking, rear wiper, and tinted glass windows. You can trade the cloth seats for leather and have front fog-lamps fitted at an additional cost. This makes the Ambra more than 'modest' after all.

The Ambra scores well in terms of safety associated with super-mini cars. Undoubtedly, the car has been through all the security norms and crash tests required before its entry into the European market. Comfort, styling, equipment, and interiors, are adequate, considering the cost and economy of maintaining in the long run. A considerable amount of recyclable material has been used in the manufacture of the Amrba, making it a light weight and eco-friendly car. The economy factor trickles down in terms of insurance too. Considering the economy and the environment, the Ligier Ambra could be the ideal choice for every urban commuter.
