![]() But not always, especially if the seller has done a thorough job cleaning the boat. Cabin Leaks Often, you can ID cabin leaks easily by seeing watermarks. Any visible damage or separation should be taken very, very seriously. You may need to wiggle into a tight hatch or duck into a smelly bilge, but do whatever it takes to get a good eyeball (aided by a powerful flashlight) on the stringers. Stringers The stringers are the backbone of the boat, and if they break or separate from the hull, serious trouble is in store. In the deck, a spongy or springy feeling underfoot tells you that rot has taken place. ![]() In the transom, lots of large cracks at the edges (a few small ones are almost always present) are a dead give-away of structural failure. Most commonly, this arises in the transom or deck coring. But you still see it sometimes, especially when looking at much older boats. Rot In truth, rot isn't nearly as common a problem as it once was, mostly because the vast majority of builders stopped using un-treated wood as a construction material many years ago. The give-away was the fact that even when unloaded, the boat's scuppers sat at the waterline instead of above it. The owner of this used boat unsuccessfully attempted to seal these deck cracks with resin water leaked through and saturated the foam in the hull. Tap on suspected saturated areas with a mallet, and you’ll hear a different tone than you will in dry areas of the boat. If you have a moisture meter and can check cored areas of the boat, so much the better. If the answer to any is no, you need to wonder why. Is it perfectly even? Are the scuppers well above the waterline? Does it sit nearly level, with the bow slightly up? Surely the boat was designed and built such that you’d answer yes to all of these questions. If at all possible, ask the owner to remove any heavy gear onboard and observe how the boat sits in the water. One way is simply by looking closely at the way the boat floats. Saturated Foam You can’t see this problem, but you can usually detect it. Obviously, you should also run washdowns, heads, and anything else that’s powered by a pump. Access the bilge and trigger it manually, to be sure. You may be able to flip a switch and make sure it runs, but that doesn't mean the float switch works. Also, take a general survey of the state of the wiring is it straight, well-loomed, and supported? Or, are you looking at a rat’s nest of wires that will make it nearly impossible to track down problems in the future? Failing Pumps What we’re most worried about here, of course, is bilge pumps. If you see an assortment of different brand fuses, indicating that some or many have been replaced, ask why (and if the problem was fixed). When you’re looking at a used boat, turn on each and every electrical item from lights to electronics, one at a time. Electrical Systems Few jobs are tougher than replacing the wiring on a boat, which often runs under decks, through tight chases, and into closed compartments. But most importantly, if you don’t know very much about engines bring along a friend who does, or better yet, get your mechanic to go along for the ride. Show up 15 minutes early for the sea trial, so the seller doesn't warm it up ahead of time. Listen to how smooth it sounds while running. Check the plugs to make sure they aren't encased in carbon. So pull the dip-stick and check the oil to make sure it’s in good condition and isn't milky (which indicates water in the oil). Buy a boat with a bad engine, and you’re in for a serious disaster. ![]() Engine Issues Naturally, these top the list.

A few years later, in September 2013, Stuart Vevers joined Coach as Executive Creative Director. Vevers radically changed the traditional accessories market, by breathing new life into both the women’s and the men’s collection. In July 2007, Vevers then became Creative Director of the over two hundred year-old Spanish traditional leather house, Loewe, which belongs to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. The designer was finally crowned “Accessory Designer of the Year” at the British Fashion Awards 2006, for his exceptional creative work. He played an influential role in redesigning the label into an exclusive design house that has created many of the last decade’s hottest bags.

Named after its year of foundation, Coach 1941 always honours the values of the unique and historic brand: leather, creativity and craftsmanship. Across the world, people associate the name Coach with the unaffectedness and refinement of the signature New Yorker style. Coach is a modern, American luxury brand with a long tradition, based on quality and craftsmanship. The S/SE/XSE trims do provide the usual visual upgrades on top of hybrid-specific enhancements. It doesn’t even have a weirdo gear selector like a Prius or most other Toyota hybrids. This is a simple, easy-to-drive commuter car. Most buyers will not care about these critiques of its lukewarm dynamics, and will happily take the huge fuel economy figure and perfectly competent control responses. That’s not something you’ll find in the regular Corolla Cross. The Hybrid doesn’t wallow about, but nothing about the experience says “sporty.” The inert responses from the steering certainly don’t help, though at least putting the car in Sport mode adds a dollop of extra weighting. I admittedly have not driven a standard Corolla Cross, so I cannot comment on the difference, but “sport-tuned” is a relative term. A sport-tuned suspension is the only mechanical upgrade that comes with these trims, besides the performance upgrade. These aren’t available in the regular Cross. The Corolla Cross Hybrid is exclusively available in what traditionally have been considered sporty Toyota trim levels – SE and XSE – as well as a new S base trim level pictured above. The Corolla Cross actually has more sound deadening to remove some particularly unpleasant frequencies, but it’s quite obviously not enough to fully compensate. We suspected the Corolla Cross simply had less sound deadening, but Prius chief engineer Satoki Oya said the noise difference is really the result of the otherwise equal Prius engine having an extra balancing shaft that reduces noise and vibration. It was one of the reasons the new Prius impressed so much. Interestingly, the new Prius does not do this, or rather, the sound seems buried deep within the engine bay. Unfortunately, the engine’s engagement might be smoother than past Toyota hybrids, but the omnipresent drone whenever you get back on the throttle is still there, and it gets old quickly. It also benefits from that improved, fifth-generation hybrid system’s extra electric motor application off the line and smoother gas engine engagement. But it certainly gets up to speed with greater urgency than a Honda HR-V or 2.0-liter Crosstrek, and acceleration is sufficient for the segment. If you want that, a turbocharged Kia Seltos or Mazda CX-30 is the way to go. Of course, “quicker” is not the same as genuinely quick. That’s the difference between the Corolla Cross being one of the slower vehicles in the segment and the Cross Hybrid being one of the quicker ones. Like the all-wheel-drive Prius, total system output is 196 horsepower, which is up from 169 in the gas-only Cross. Specifically, the all-wheel-drive version that adds a third motor to power the rear axle. The Cross Hybrid comes with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid powertrain also found in the impressive 2023 Toyota Prius. You’ll also be getting a significant performance advantage, at least compared to the regular Cross. According to EPA fuel cost estimates, you could save about $500 every year by opting for the Cross Hybrid. That’s up from the regular, all-wheel-drive Cross’ estimate of 30 mpg combined, which was already tied with the 2.0-liter Subaru Crosstrek for class-leading – most competitors are admittedly only 1 or 2 mpg behind. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 45 mpg city, 38 mpg highway and 42 mpg combined. ![]() It could benefit from having its own thing, and crushing its competitors’ fuel economy does just that. Well, that changes with the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid.Īs the name implies, it is based on the rather unremarkable 2023 Corolla Cross that doesn’t satisfy any niche beyond attempting to woo people who had positive associations with a Toyota Corolla.

You’ll often hear this when you pick up a bird which is unaccustomed to being caught, and it may continue until you put her down again.
