Volkswagen Golf GTI – The Sporty Adidas Model

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 06:41:38 +0000

No you did not just read that title incorrectly; Volkswagen has added an Adidas Golf GTI to their range of cars! Now this is not unheard of by any means but it is something that isn’t very common among car manufacturers; combining a sports brand with an automobile. Nonetheless Volkswagen has teamed up with sports giant Adidas and has used their number one model to do so. The Golf GTI, as we know is the flagship car of the company and has been for a very long time. Ever since the first used golf was introduced it has grown to unbelievable heights of popularity and has become a real fans’ favourite all over the world. This special Adidas edition of the Golf GTI is expected to be introduced to the mainstream public at the next Australian International Motor Show in October 2010. And it contains certain new features that will make it a very distinctive unit and will therefore effectively be a special / limited edition. Some of these features include Bi-Xenon headlights, tinted tail lights and eighteen inch alloy wheels, which really are something special! It is the seating covers inside the vehicle that display the sporty Adidas look and feel with the middle section of both driver and passenger seat showing the Adidas logo with the three stripes. The gearstick is styled in the shape of a golf ball, which is reminiscent of the original used Volkswagen Golf GTI. This new edition offers a kind of retro feel and very much has the characteristics of a retro vehicle with style.

Vauxhall Antara – The Ideal City SUV

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 06:32:44 +0000

Not necessarily recognised for producing popular SUV vehicles, Vauxhall have extended their reach and added the Antara SUV to their glowing range of automobiles. Bearing similarities to that of the Volkswagen Toureg, the Antara is a stylish and well designed crossover SUV that may soon exercise a firm grip on the SUV class, which already houses some truly exceptional units. The Antara is very well equipped and comes with a variety of different variants, engine options, transmissions and equipment. In terms of the different variants available there is the Exclusiv and the SE. As for the engines there is the 2.0 litre CDTI 16 valve 5 speed manual and the 2.0 litre CDTI 16 valve automatic, which both make for an interesting and reliable drive. And as for the equipment and features there is obviously too many to display here but some of the main highlights are the navigation system, eighteen inch alloy wheels, heat reflective windscreen, Xenon headlights, cruise control and EC (Electronic Climate Control). So it is fair to say (and it is there for all to see) that the new and used Vauxhall Antara is a vehicle that is very much going places and will no doubt drum up quite a bit of interest over the coming months and years. But in summary, for those buyers that are in the market for an SUV then they might be surprised to hear that Vauxhall has a model in their range that could well provide a good opportunity. As noted above, Vauxhall are not known for their expertise in the SUV area but maybe people will now begin to look at them in a different light thanks to the Antara.

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 06:18:30 +0000

It is perfect for inner city driving and is also extremely fuel efficient, which means less time at the fuel pumps! So if you are someone that likes to be in and around town running errands such as picking the kids up from school or doing the weekly shop; then a new or used Smart ForTwo Coupe could well be a suitable choice.

SEAT Leon – Providing Advancements in Design and Technology

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 06:08:46 +0000

Over the last few years if there is one auto manufacturer that has really created its own lane of authenticity then it surely has to be SEAT. For so long this was a company that was solely associated and recognised for their used SEAT Ibiza model that served the company so well. Of course car models only ever have a certain shop window of opportunity and so SEAT invested in their production line and invested very well indeed. One of the models that came out of this was the new SEAT Leon, which was aggressively marketing along with the new Ibiza and Altea models. This triplet was widely regarded as being the new found identity of SEAT and it re-vitalised the brand as we once knew it. The Altea is equipped with numerous new and special features that are very much a look to the future. Some of them display some serious advancement in technology and really do make the car stand out from those in the same vehicle class. Coupled with these advancements is the cars’ athletic style of the outer shell that gives off the feel of sophistication. The Altea is a class act and no detail goes unnoticed. The exterior and interior is slick and, as noted above, the features included really are something special. Some say that the SEAT Altea is a step into the future and it would be very difficult to disagree with this statement. And with the standard version costing less than 12k, the Altea also makes for a sound investment.

Porsche 928 – The Start of a New Trend

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 06:05:43 +0000

Rolling back through the years there are certain cars that just seem to standout from the pack and the used Porsche 928 very much comes into this category. The 928 is a GT unit that was first introduced to the marketplace in the year 1978. Its production continued for seventeen years until 1995 but its legacy has without doubt lived on to the present day. The funny thing (or strange thing depending upon how you look at it) is that this was a vehicle that was initially expected to replace Porsche’s 911 models. However, this did not materialise and so the 928 was given its own identity with its own individual targets and goals. The reality is that Porsche thought that the 928 would be able to work alongside the 911 and attract a different type of audience, which it inevitably went on to do. The 928 was able to achieve some natural promotion thanks to one of its variants, the more powerful 928S, which became famous for being the fastest vehicle (a top speed of 146 miles per hour) in North America during the year 1983. This alone opened doors and avenues for the car that rapidly increased its popularity and so this led to increased sales. One of the cars’ main attributes aside from its speed, however, is its design, which was a little different to what Porsche was normally associated with. It used steel materials for its outer shell along with aluminium that was used for the doors and bonnet, which became useful for making the overall weight of the vehicle lighter. To this day the used Porsche 928 is still very much talked about and continues to be a popular and well thought of unit.

Peugeot RCZ – Something Rather Different

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 05:52:47 +0000

Now this is a Peugeot car that is something out of the ordinary for a company that has been known for playing it on the safe side. The RCZ is definitely one to watch out for and should be recognised as being a part of the future; not just in terms of design, but also in terms of performance. This is like no other used Peugeot of the past and is very much a step in a new direction for this authentic French auto manufacturer. The design of the vehicle is very much a new concept that gives off the look and feel of a true sports car. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking that the RCZ belongs in a much higher price bracket than it actually is (currently available for around 20k as standard). The Peugeot RCZ is a unique and charismatic unit that is almost certainly a real head turner. With its rounded body shape that fits in harmoniously with all of the distinct outer shell features; Peugeot really have pushed the boundaries of manufacturing to a whole new level. The dark and slick standard black colour of the car is extremely fitting as are the alloy wheels, which come as 18 inch (standard) or 19 inch (optional). Both of these elements give the feel of a sporty nature that appears purely natural, and not artificial. The rear of the vehicle combines a sloping bonnet with ruby-red lights that are extremely distinctive and fresh. LED technology is incorporated into this area and it once again provides that sporty look and feel that is evident throughout the entire unit.

Smart – Built for the Economy

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:27:44 +0000

When the UK government introduced new legislation and laid down the law to car manufacturers, there was one particular brand that was already well under way to providing the necessary requirements. Mercedes-Benz Smart had already introduced their very own used Smart cars that met and exceeded the minimum requirements for new car productions. In fact, if you were to take a quick glance at the original used Smart car then it would become apparent just how eco-friendly the car was. Tiny in stature and frame, the original Smart car from Mercedes-Benz was so small that you could quite literally park two of them side by side in a regular parking space. Upon its release, the general public took to this used Smart like a duck to water and its popularity grew to excessive extremes. Nowadays, the foundation of this vehicle is still very much present in the more recent models, although things have naturally evolved to make the Smart car more advanced and with better features / upgrades. The only difference between now and when the first model was released is that other car manufacturers are also now in on the act of building eco-friendly / hybrid autos; but many view Smart as being the leaders in this particular field – simply because they were the first to release a working product to the motoring industry. So as of today (2010), the brand of Smart cars has grown somewhat to high proportions and, as more and more people look closer at their fuel and road tax bills, the name of Mercedes-Benz Smart cars becomes a more familiar choice.

SEAT – A Brand with a Difference

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:25:30 +0000

The Spanish automaker SEAT is a car maker that offers something very different to other manufacturers in that their style is totally unique, and some might say, fresh. Take the new SEAT Ibiza for example; it is cool and funky, whilst at the same time, it is a vehicle that continues to portray the SEAT way, based upon the older used SEAT Ibiza. And then there are the new SEAT Leon and Alhambra models, which are extremely unique in their own right. The thing about this particular car manufacturer is that they seem to be bright and new, which is very much an attraction to the younger audience of drivers. The cool and funky look that SEAT cars offer is the main reason for this and also because the younger aged drivers want something that is within their finance range, and at the same time, they want a car that will provide them with a good performance and striking looks. In fact, much of the accreditation of the latest brand of SEAT cars, which marks huge design improvements compared to the used SEAT autos of the past, is down to the TV / Internet marketing campaign that took place. This catapulted the new models (Ibiza, Leon and Alhambra) and managed to re-establish SEAT’s place in the industry. The power of advertising has certainly helped SEAT increase its UK and global appeal and with more models planned for the future, the future certainly does look bright for SEAT. In summary, if you want a new car with a stylish exterior and interior, choosing a car from SEAT will definitely make life easier.

Porsche – One of the Best Around

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:24:03 +0000

A truly magnificent company, Porsche defines the art of German engineering. Oozing with quality, new and used Porsche cars are among the very best that the industry has to offer. A quality of engineering unmatched by other manufacturers, Porsche has been providing cars of superb standards for a number of decades. From the 911 to the more recent Cayenne, Porsche have become universally recognised as one of the top dogs in the industry. Germany is a country that has always been viewed as one of the manufacturing leaders in both Europe and the rest of the world thanks to the likes of Volkswagen, Audi, and indeed Porsche. Whilst the other aforementioned companies may provide cars for more regular to high end buyers – there is no doubting what market sector Porsche caters for; the top end of the market. As we know, new and even used Porsche cars can cost more than a pretty penny, which means that there are only a certain number of people that can actually afford to purchase. What this does is segment the majority of the market because most buyers simply cannot stretch their finances so far! So in reality there is only the minority that can actually afford to buy a new or used Porsche; but this is still a fairly large number when you take into consideration that Porsche is known and sold worldwide!

Used Mini Cars – The 1960’s Icon

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:21:53 +0000

As the title suggests, the used Mini from the 1960’s was a true icon. Sex, drugs and rock and roll were very much the groove back in the 60’s and if there was ever a vehicle that epitomised this era it was the used Mini. The car became so famous that is made appearances in the hit movie The Italian Job and, more recently, it was ever present in the heroic Aston Powers movies. What many people question though is WHY this was the case? For example, the Mini was not a car that was exceptionally designed, it wasn’t fast and it was most certainly not spacious – so how did it manage to become such an icon? Well this is a question for those who were active during the time of its release, but it is fair to say that fashion was very much different in the 60’s to what it is today. In fact, the Mini was so relevant that it became a worldwide phenomenon and people from different corners of Europe and beyond wanted a piece of the action. So the reality is that it doesn’t really matter about the WHY, the used Mini was what it was and is what it always will be – a fashion statement from the 1960’s. It had an average rate of performance and, by today’s standards, a lacklustre design; but the general public (and the British public in particular), just so happened to love it! Of course the Mini of today is very different to its predecessor but that is because the German giant BMW purchased the rights to re-build and re-design the old used MINI. With history very much behind the thinking of the new business venture, the gamble paid off for BMW because the new MINI is every bit as a fashion icon as its older version.
