New Skoda Greenline Range

Skoda has developed a full range of eco models The new Fabia Greenline is argued to be capable of averaging 83.1MPG emitting only 89g/km.

Motoring journalists have tested out the new models with Skoda giving them a variety of tasks to carry out. The new Greenline range will be rolled out across the Fabia, Yeti, Octavia and Superb.

Apparently the new Greenline range boasts better capabilities than some petrol, hybrid models. Looking forward to the new range coming to my local used and new Skoda Sussex garage.

Lifestyle Ladies help women drivers

Lifestyle LadiesLifestyle Europe, a Ford Kent and Sussex dealership have launched a social networking site primarily for women, called Lifestyle Ladies. The new website gives us ladies lots of news and tips in a friendly chatty manner, something us ladies just love!

The site is relatively new but already I have read some great articles about new cars and girly guides to car maintenance. This support and advice is really helpful for me as I am usually very embarrassed about having to ask what I think are silly questions.

Many members have joined the network already. I find it especially funny that they have got their very own ‘Stig’ character, The ‘Twig’. It is nice to be involved with a fun site and be able to pass on any experiences I have that might help others.

Car dealers welcome SKYACTIV technologies

Mazda have announced that they are going to presenting their new SKYACTIV technologies at the much anticipated Geneva Motor Show.Mazda SKYACTIV

The motoring press have already been out to take the Mazda 6 diesel prototype for a spin. The new vision has been symbolised by the notion of the ‘Kodo’ concept. I believe that Mazda are showing odd their capabilities to be green.

The new models are going to be rolled out by the end of this year, possessing some of the SKYACTIV technologies. SKYACTIV is an umbrella term that Mazda has chosen to describe the list of new innovative technologies that they are bringing to the automotive market.

Without compromising on driving performance the new technologies are economically efficient and reduce CO2 emissions in comparison to current models. Car dealers in Newcastle along with most of the automotive industry in the UK welcome the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint. Looking forward to the entire range of technologies from the SKYACTIV concept being rolled out.

Feeder marvel at Lotus Elise production

Legendary rock stars Feeder were seen visiting the headquarters for Lotus cars.

Any motor enthusiast would be jealous of their visit. They took a short break from their tour to enjoy a fun filled day with Lotus. They were given the opportunity to take a look at the latest generation of cars.

They were then taken to the newly refined test track. Grant and Taka were taken for a drive in the new supercharged 350ps Evora. If that wasn’t enough, they were then allowed to drive the car themselves under instruction. It is rumoured that they are the first non-Lotus staff people to drive on the new track.

After their thrilling drive they visited the production facilities to marvel at the production lines for the Lotus Elise and Evora. What a way to chill out between gigs!

Live chat on automotive websites

Something that I find extremely irritating is trying to contact companies via email.

As a full time worker I find it difficult to respond to emails within the 9-5 time frame. Making any enquiry last up to a week by the time the intermittent emails replies are resolved.

I think that live chat is a great feature to website. My experience of the live chat facility was with car dealer websites. I thought that I would have to go into the dealer at the weekend to be able to talk to someone about the concerns I had.

Live chat was available any time, meaning I could get all of my questions answered when I got home within a short space of time. This enabled me to pop into the dealer and talk to someone without feeling embarrassed.

Car dealer in Newcastle offers electric advice

The British government began awarding motorists that bought electric vehicles with a grant of up to £5,000. However some still argue that they are too expensive even with the grant.

Some worry that the plug in vehicles do not offer the range required due to their short battery life. People are also unsure of the reliability and re-sale value of the motors.

Motorists are arguing that greater incentives will have to be implemented to outweigh the costs. People appreciate that these types of cars will considerably lower CO2 emissions but people just don’t have the money in the first place.

Toyota has developed an all-electric version of their increasing popular Prius hybrid model. The new EV will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Although the new plug in models are offering the greatest benefits, for stricter budgets it is wise to remember that hybrids are also offering great advantages. Hodgson, a car dealer in Newcastle, are more than happy to help anyone in need of some advice. Dealerships across the UK are offering tailored guidance to meet everyone’s needs.

Car dealer in Kent Partners with Kent Cricket Club

Kent Cricket club have announced their partnership with car dealer, Lipscomb. As the official partner of 2011, Lipscomb a car dealer in Kent are offering Kent cricket members some excellent benefits.

These offers are available in any of their Kent dealerships, including on cars in Maidstone. They are giving motorists specials discounts on new Volvo, Alfa Romeo and Fiats that are purchased at one of their dealer, just be sure to let them know that you are a member of the Kent Cricket Club.

They are also giving members free vehicle season checks and free Lipscomb Plus4 membership (level 1). Offers will include great savings on servicing and MOT’s. Every little helps at the moment when it comes to the cost of running a car.

Create a new car feel with Ford parts

The current economic climate has put a strain on the public. Inflation, tax increases and fuel duty increases we are all feeling the pinch on our funds.

With the news that fuel price is likely to increase in April when the budget is announced motorists will find it difficult to afford to run their vehicles. News about the new technologies, that new cars are possessing makes me want a new car.

So I thought I would try and pimp up my little Ford a bit. I’ve been looking at Ford accessories that can help me play my iPod through the car and new mats to really freshen the interior up. I am going to have a look at different Ford parts that will make my little mean machine look good as new.

Kia dealer helps combat insurance hikes

At the moment young women are receiving lower insurance quotes than young men. Statistics have shown insurers that young men are more prone to have accidents than young women. Therefore insurance companies have given quotes reflecting this research.

The European Court of Justice has announced that they will make the decision on the 1st of March as to whether this should be legal. They are arguing that any kind of discrimination is not tolerated including sexist behaviour.

I agree that sexist behaviour is wrong but I am struggling to accept that women should pay the same when young men are 10 times more likely to make the claims. Perhaps drivers should have to prove themselves to get a reduced rate as the safer male drivers are being penalised because of their gender.

A used and new cars Sussex dealership commented that female drivers should try to combat expensive insurance premiums by looking at cars with a low insurance rating. Their Kia dealer in Sussex will be able to advise male and female drivers about cost effective cars when thinking about insurance. I suggest that if you are a young driver like myself and you ae looking for a new car, check the insurance ratings before you make a decision.

Mazda Dealers Top Customer Satisfaction Index

Mazda has recently been named the nation’s best car company for customer satisfaction. Both the brand and dealerships are criticised in the research.Mazda dealers

When looking for a car it instils confidence in the buyer to enter a dealership. The car industry average is 78.4% according to the UK customer satisfaction index. Mazda went the extra mile and were rewarded with an improved score of 83.3%.

The survey conveys that customers have been given a satisfying experience. This would prompt me to visit my local Mazda car dealers in Newcastle before any other company. The results suggest that their customer service is the best, and buying a car can be daunting enough without having to worry about how you will be treated.

Car dealership in Newcastle can help prevent car crime

Newcastle city centre claimed the second hotspot for cars being broken in to with Belgravia in London taking first place.

The report was conducted by an insurance frim who used statistics from two million UK motorists.

There does not seem to be any correlation in term of geographical sense when looking at the entire list. Offenders are opportunists and seek out any cars that look easy to break in to.

There are many useful tips to ensure you don’t fall victim to car crime. Pop down to your car dealership in Newcastle for some advice on how to make your vehicle more secure. But for now, always lock your car, park it in a well-lit area and do not leave anything on show.

New Toyota EV promises greener car dealerships

Toyota’s new EV prototype will be making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show on the 1st of March. The new model has been based on the IQ city car to represent Toyota’s vision of short range, sustainable mobility. Toyota EV prototype
The urban friendly model endeavours to release zero tailpipe emissions, ensuring silent running. With so many ‘green’ cars coming no to the market it is difficult to understand what the best option is.

The newly developed lithium-ion battery adapts Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. Toyota have claimed the car will have enough charge to run for up to 65miles.

The Geneva Motor Show will also be a platform for Toyota to welcome the Yaris Hybrid, Prius+ and FT-86 Concept II, also making their debut appearance. Hopefully this will give me more of an idea about these new ‘greener’ cars. If not, Hodgson, a car dealership in Newcastle offers great advice for motorists looking to improve fuel economy.

Abarth and Ferrari join forces

The Geneva Motor Show is shaping up to be an exciting event. With the economy as it is consumers are expected more from their products, including cars.

Abarth 695 Tributo FerrariManufacturers have been under pressure to develop the newest styles and technology in time for the show in Geneva at the beginning of March. The show will stage many debuts intending to stand out from the crowd.

I found it massively interesting that Abarth and Ferrari have joined together to provide Italian style, racing soul and impeccable performance. The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari offers Abarth an extension to their range and offers Ferrari customers a small luxury sports car.

This series is limited edition and for the first time the Abi Dhabi Blue and Titanium Grey exteriors will be displayed at the Geneva Motor Show.

A car dealer in Kent will be displaying the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari, along with other cars in Maidstone, to celebrate the start of the F1 season. I might pop down to see this united model on the 12th or 13th of March at their special weekend event.

New Fiat Panda for just over £6,000

new Fiat PandaI have been taking a look at small cars as my youngest brother will be turning 18 in a few weeks. He has just passed his driving test but with insurance prices at record highs its proving difficult to find a car suited to young male drivers.

We looked at the Fiat 500 Abarth but the insurance group starts at around a group 5 rating, which looks like it will cost a small fortune for an 18 year old boy. When we were looking into the Fiat 500 Abarth we stumbled across the new Fiat Panda. Virtually the same size, and very little difference mechanically.

I’ve had a look at the new Fiat Panda in Kent and it costs just a little over £6,000 which is perfect for a first car. This compact car is also easier on fuel consumption boasting 56.5MPG combined. Perfect for an 18 year old with little money.

Contract hire to beat VAT increase?

VATWith the VAT increase businesses and consumers are looking towards contract hire. The 2.5% VAT increase has made cars even more expensive to buy outright.

Contract hire includes benefits for businesses to claim back VAT. Cashflow management is also highly affected by contract hire as there are not massive outgoings in the first place. This in turn develops an accurate budgeting process.

Another major benefit is adding a maintenance agreement to the contract. This manages the car for any user for their convenience and peace of mind. I have only just started looking into contract hire but I am definitely keen to keep researching the pros and cons. I think I will contact my nearest contract hire Kent to advise me further.

Automotive Websites to test innovation

I have recently seen an article suggesting that it will soon be possible to purchase a car online through automotive websites. Going to a dealership and haggling with the dealer could be a thing of the past.

A car dealer web management company highlights that many of use the internet for reviews, price comparison so why not purchase. We are growing even more confident when it comes to buying high valued goods on the internet so it will be interesting to see if this takes off.

This innovation does not prove popular with most dealers. I think that creating options for the buyer can only prove advantageous to the dealer. Having a greater number of channels to persuade consumers could help lead the ever changing economy. With spending habits changing this could be the redesign the industry is looking for.
It will be interesting to see if the risk to innovate pays of for the dealers willing to try.

New Ford Fiesta RS WRC shocks spectators

Ford Fiesta RS WRCThe weekend kicked off the FIA World Rally Championship in Sweden. The Fiesta RS is the talking point at the beginning of this remarkable season.

Ford shocked spectators with their impressive performance. The M-Sport Stobart Ford World Rally Team finished in second position.

The snow looked worse than the conditions that hit here in December. The young driver, Mads Østberg, outperformed himself, clearing two of his team’s records.

I think I am going to test drive a Ford Fiesta in Kent, the handling looks impeccable. I am intrigued to feel the difference between the Ford Fiesta and the Ford Fiesta RS. Even so, I am no Østberg but he will definitely be one to watch out for in the upcoming rallies.

Skoda dealers celebrate sales

New SkodaAfter all the doom and gloom that I have been reading about the struggling automotive industry, it’s great to see that Skoda have reported sales increases.

Skoda command 2% of the UK market share but with a recorded 26.4% sales increase in the last year this will inevitably increase.

After just buying a Skoda Fabia, at my Skoda dealer in Sussex it’s great to see that I have contributed to Skoda’s successful year. Fabia sales are up 30% so I guess that makes me fashionable!!

With VW excellence and superb reliability it looks likely that Skoda will hit great sales targets again this year. The Birchwood Group has seen high demand for new Skoda’s in Sussex so the forecast looks bright.

Welcome the new VW Sharan to the Family

New VW SharanVolkswagen has finally introduced the new Sharan. It’s been a long wait…almost 15 years I think for the new people carrier to be re-developed to compete again with its rivals.

The new Sharan is longer, wider but lower. It handles confidently and seats 7 adults very comfortably. The interior oozes VW sophistication, making use of lasting high quality materials and superb craftsmanship.

Available with different petrol choices this new Sharan could be perfect for taking the family on a Summer holiday or the gang to that music festival. Going to contact my VW Kent dealer to find out more about the new Volkswagen.

New Ford creates fuss

New Ford CarThe Geneva Motor is creating a real stir. Ford has recently confirmed that they are set to unveil a ‘gorundbreaking all-new vehicle’ on the forst day of the show.

Unlike some major automakers, Ford has kept all details of this new addition very secret. Ford’s CEO will be there to address the media.

Many are speculating that the US automaker will be producing an MPV centred on the new Fiesta. No details have been confirmed but the release date is believed to me at the beginning of next year.

There will be a new Ford in Sussex…and across the UK I suppose. Coming soon!

Ford Vs Ferrari

Ferrari has got into trouble with Ford.

Ferrari has named their new Formula 1 racing car the F150 which sounds strangely familiar to the Ford F-150.

The cars however, could not be more different. Ford’s F-150 is an extremely popular pickup truck and Ferrari’s vehicle is a racing car.

They have been accused of exploiting the distinguished name. Ferrari defended themselves saying the naming of their new vehicle simply stemmed from 150 years of Italian unity.

I will keep watching to see if Ford spares Ferrari.

Car dealer in Kent shows F1 race

The start of the F1 season is fast approaching.

Bahrain will host the first race on the 13th of March 2011. It is exciting time for all those motoring enthusiasts out there.New Lotus Exige

I am looking forward to watch the 57 lap race and have marked it in my diary. My colleague mentioned that a car dealer in Kent will be showing the race on a 50 inch plasma in the middle of the showroom. Might pop down there and enjoy the atmosphere of other enthusiasts alike.

Apparently they will also be unveiling new models too. I hope they have the new Lotus Exige for me to have a sit in!

Automotive websites in need of high quality stock

CAP have released research indicating that prices for second hand cars have increased.
Apparently if your car is in good nick you could expect to receive a very healthy price for it. Due to supply constraints car dealers are willing to offer that bit more for high quality stock.
This is great news for automotive websites as buyers will have a wider choice to choose from, preventing them from looking elsewhere. Customer will also be confident that they are looking at high quality vehicles.
Sales volumes have said to have increased by over 10% year on year. Increased levels of high quality stock will help automotive marketing create valued assurance. A thought out website could really help this industry boom.

VW Kent Darth Vaders?

I have just seen the new Volkswagen advert on YouTube. That kid is soo cute.
The child is dressed up as Star Wars character, Darth Vader. He tries to move objects with his mind power. The advert is amusing and entertaining as we watch the child continue with his attempts around the house.
The daddy returns from work in his lovely new VW Passat. The mini Darth Vader attempts to use ‘the force’ again. To his surprise the car starts. It is not ‘the force’ that starts the car but clever Daddy in the Kitchen users his remote control to start the car.
I wonder if I went into my VW Kent dealer if there would be mini Darth Vaders all attempting to use ‘the force’.

Ford accessories produce jobs

The increasing demand in exports from Dagenham supports Fords efforts to help with the rebuild of the UK economy.
Fords successful journey will enable them to create much needed jobs during this difficult time.
Ford of Britain’s Transport Operations manager, Paul Arrowsmith, said: "It's good news for the future of our business that the export arm of our operations is being kept so busy that we need to take on extra employees - additional packing work translates into more road movements of containers to and from various ports around Britain.”
Ford welcomes the continual growth and looks forward to the future ahead of them. Ford accessories, parts and spares are available at Ford dealerships across the UK.

New Renault Captur

Just read a review about the new Renault Captur that has been unveiled today. Surprisingly the details have been leaked before the Geneva Motor Show.
Apparently two new innovative technologies make the Renault Captur even more impressive. Handling and enhanced visibility are said to be the two main features affected by the RX2 and Visio-System.
The sporty Captur looks beautiful inside and out, fully coordinated with colours, fabrics and trims. I have absolutely fallen in love with this new addition, still can’t understand why they have revealed it early but I’m glad they did.
Look forward to stroking this stunning masterpiece at my local Renault Brighton dealership.

Intriguing new Suzuki Swift S-CONCEPT

>So I’ve just noticed that Suzuki have just released an image of the new Swift S-CONCEPT.
It’s hard to believe that although the all new swift was only launched in the autumn, Suzuki continue to deliver more exciting, agile models.
Not much is known about the new Swift S-Concept but the teasing image displays a high-riding roof spoiler. The image shows the model in its recognised race car yellow suggesting that this beautifully crafted supermini will take you on a truly exhilarating drive.
Oh well, will have to wait until the 1st of March for more details on this. My local Suzuki Sussex dealer has been inundated with queries. I think all dealers are eagerly awaiting the big reveal.

Ford Service and MOT double my Nectar points

With inflation worries at their highest I have been looking around at where to take my car for its Ford service and MOT. Ford Nectar Points

I bought my new Ford in East Sussex so this will be the first year it will need to go to the garage as I don’t use it that often.

I’ve just seen a news article about double Nectar points at participating Ford dealerships. I know that Ford dealerships employ highly skilled service teams so I just presumed it would be too expensive. It turns out I was very wrong and the services they offer are great value for money.

I have booked my little fiesta in at my local Ford dealer in East Sussex with full confidence and a little extra reward heading my way.

Brighton Renault dealership gives hope.

Renault BrightonIt is a difficult time for everyone at the moment as we try to pull ourselves out of the recession. That is why I find it great that my local car dealer is expanding to Renault in Brighton. They have just acquired a new site and I find it very refreshing that one of the worst hit industries during the recession is continuing to grow.

This new Brighton Renault dealership really does give hope to the car industry and many other struggling businesses. Just shows that options and an attentive approach can make all the difference. There is hope for us all, good luck Lifestyle Europe.

Motoring solicitors should cheer for drug testing!

Hurrah! We are going to stop ignoring the problem of drug driving. New devices are said to be released to test amphetamines, cannabis and ecstasy by the time the weather starts to heat up. I’m sure motoring solicitors will agree that this will be an improvement to road safety.

They should then hopefully be on the roadside sometime after that. We have massively fallen behind other countries with this kind of technology but it comes as a great relief that the growing problem will no longer be ignored. It is about time we got rid of this standing on one leg rubbish…which I’m not sure how they go about proving how wobbly you are in court.

I am sure Gullands, my solicitors in Kent will welcome the news to prevent reckless driving that put lives at risk.

Motoring Law and the mobile phone!

One of my biggest pet peeves is motorists using hand held mobile phones whilst driving. These are definitely the drivers that I feel have almost run me off the road. Motoring Law

I have recently seen that motorists in Leicestershire are being warned that they will have to attend a road safety awareness clinic if the offence is committed. I’m not entirely convinced that this should be an alternative to prosecution but perhaps as well as.

I sincerely hope that this is brought into motoring law for Kent and the UK as drivers need to be aware of the consequences of using a mobile whilst driving. I hope my Kent solicitors help to push this forward.

Motoring Laws change for uninsured drivers.

Motoring Laws I have recently heard that the government are going to make it illegal to keep a car that is not insured whether it is being driven or not, sort of like the rules for road tax I guess.

It is about time. Stats show that over 23,000 people are injured or killed by uninsured drivers. Motoring Law deems that it is currently illegal to drive a car with no insurance but it is difficult to track as the government wouldn’t know if the car is being used. Now unless the car is declared off the road, it will be a legal requirement to insure the vehicle.

This is something I will have to keep an eye on as I don’t always insure my car straight away for the period I do not use it. I’m going to contact my local Kent solicitors, Gullands to see if they can give me any more information.

New Lotus is back in black and gold!

Lotus Renault GP has revealed its new Lotus 2011 challenger for Formula 1. Lotus are respected for the introduction of ‘ground effect aerodynamics’ into Formula 1, however I am overcome with nostalgia of the new Lotus. The car is black and gold. They seem to be bringing back the good old days and hopefully this will make sure that the Lotus name is pushed into the forefront again.

I hope my local Lotus dealer will use this iconic image to boost sales for new and used Lotus car sales. I mean who wouldn’t want to relive their youth in a gold and black ‘challenger’? Or at least the closest to one as you could get.New Lotus

Fiat 500C helps decrease fuel costs

The Fiat 500C is a great alternative to a small convertible for all those ladies that hate having their hair ruined, as the hood is more like a long sunroof. I am definitely concerned that in the Summer months I could have a few embarrassing moments.  The Fiat 500C claims a 68.9 MPG which is awesome at the moment when everyone is being hit hard by fuel costs.

When looking for a Fiat in Kent I found that Lipscomb, a Kent car dealer, had a great choice. Not only was I impressed by the MPG but I was then told that they are exempt from road tax and the London congestion charge…kerching!

The Abarth 500 is a girls best friend!

I have recently stumbled across the Abarth at my local car dealer in Kent. I couldn’t believe my eyes, what a cool car. I have spoken to some of my colleagues about the car and I seem to be the only one who hadn’t heard of them. I think the Abarth 500 is fun and fruity, definitely something that I wanted a piece of.

I was astonished to learn that a gold Abarth 500 had been sold for £430,000. The car features 24 carat gold paintwork, a diamond studded iPod dock (definitely a modern girls best friend) and much more...

Now that is what I call a car.

Abarth 500

New Mitsubishi i-MiEV is mine!!!

So the Mitsubishi i-MiEV has hit the showrooms and I cannot wait to see it at Hodgson, Mitsubishi in Newcastle. This electric car could not have arrived at a more perfect moment for car dealers in Newcastle and across the country as diesel prices have hit record prices.

This new energy efficient car will make anyone love their incoming fuel bills, shocking I know. Mitsubishi are known to have said that it would cost £270 for every 12,000 miles.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is said to be sweetly quiet perfect for when I manage to escape the children! The new Mitsubishi hits NewcastleNew Mitsubishi and I am excited!

Mazda Car Dealers and Facebook

Mazda have joined forces with Facebook to try and boost sales of their Mazda MX-5. They are trialling the deal with 5 dealerships across the UK to increase footfall. Not sure about anyone else but I will be awaiting any news about the 20% discount that is being offered to customers and whether Mazda in Newcastle will be running the offer after trial?

I have seen some great deals on the internet for a new Mazda in Newcastle, so even though there are only 5 participating dealers the buzz has inspired me to have a look at other offers.

Good luck Mazda! Come on Car Dealers in Newcastle!Facebook Mazda

Nan wants a Suzuki from Newcastle

When my Nan asked if I could take a look at new cars with her I was dreading it as I knew how difficult she could be.

When we started looking for a car dealer in Newcastle I thought that some sort of ‘supermini’ could be ideal for her so we started to look for a new Suzuki in Newcastle as a starting point. once she laid eyes on the swift she fell in love.

When we stopped for lunch and searched for Suzuki Newcastle on my iPhone we found that Hodgson was just around the corner. They managed to sort my Nan out and now she can drive me to Sunday lunch. Big thumbs up!

VW servicing in Kent?

I am in the process of moving home at the moment and have realised that I need to get my car in for its yearly service. I like to make sure it is done before the year runs out to keep its immaculate service history. As you can imagine I am up to my eyes so I had a quick look for VW servicing in Kent on the internet but I am unsure of who I should go with.

Can anyone form the area advise me if EuroCanterbury, a car dealership in Kent is worth a shot? I’m just fussy when it comes to my beautiful 4 wheels but I don't have time to do the research.

VW dealership, Kent, can you help?

I am getting even more worried about how I am going to keep up with the rise in fuel over the last year. Can it really keep going up at the astronomical rate that is so detrimental to our pockets?

I have been looking at a new Volkswagen in Kent after hearing about the BlueMotion technology in the hope that this may cut my fuel bill. I have worked out that this technology could save me 20 MPG in comparison to my current car AND road tax is considerably reduced.

I am going to visit my VW dealer in Kent so they can show me the cars that possess this innovative technology and explain to me further how it saves me money…I mean how it all works.

I figured if I do not like the BlueMotion technology, I can have a look at some more economical VW cars as I have been told that EuroCanterbury are also a great used VW dealer in Kent.

Savvy Sussex Servicing

I have recently realised how shocking my knowledge about cars is. I mean I knew I was never one to prompt an in depth conversation about the workings of a vehicle but I pride myself on being able to run my own car.

Having said all this I did not realise how to look after my car…past the car wash and MOT. So apparently after talking to a car savvy girlfriend I had a look for servicing in Sussex on the internet. I found myself coming across very naïve as I expected that I would have to take my car to a garage. Instead car dealerships in SussexServicing in Sussex were appearing. This made me feel more at ease because I knew that my car would be looked after by Renault specialists.

I hope I am not missing out on any other things that will keep my car fit and healthy.

New Renault Clio jealousy

My sister has just bought herself a new Renault Clio. I couldn’t believe it when she arrived for Sunday lunch tooting her horn for us to all come and gaze at her latest purchase.

Obviously she couldn’t wait to take us all for a spin. I was surprised at how comfortable and nimble it was. Back in the day it did not have such great qualities or features that it obviously possesses today.

Afetr she left I got straight on the internet to take a look at my nearest Renault dealer in Sussex…just don’t tell her :)

Dad knows best when it comes to the new Ford Focus!

Is it just me or is the new Ford Focus no longer what I used to call a Focus. They have the same name but they look like a completely different car.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I walked into a Ford dealership in Sussex. I was admittedly dragged in to buy a reliable car by my Dad. I will definitely be back…Dads know best I guess!
New Ford Focus
Just one thing…anyone know how good the MPG is?

Award Winning Audi Q7

Looking around at the beautiful scenery of the motorway when travelling to work and starting to get annoyed that I am not driving the new Audi Q7. This one would be great to fit all my shopping in...and for the commute (obviously)!

I have read a few reviews and it seems that the Audi Q7 wins lots of awards. Who doesn't love stylish award winners?

I have taken a look at the Carlisle Audi dealership website and they have some amazing Audi Q7 deals that are definitely tempting me to drive away in an award winning car! Now that would definitley make the motorway less boring!

Boyfriend sick of new Audi A3 talk!

I just can’t seem to get enough of the new Audi A3. I think my boyfriend is sick of me asking him to take me to the Audi Blackburn dealership that I pass on the way to work.
I have taken a look at their website and it looks like they may have some great Audi A3 deals. I hope I will be able to pass the dealership in my new ride when travelling to work very soon.

New Audi A1 was made for me!

Wow just taken a look at the new Audi A1, I never knew that there would ever be a car made especially for me. A stylish, award winning Audi that is small enough for me to park, yay!
I can’t wait to get down to my local Audi dealership in Preston to take this beauty for a spin. I have seen that they have some great Audi A1 dealsNew Audi A1 too! Happy Days!

VW BlueMotion Promises Fuel Efficiency

VW Golf Blue MotionWith petrol prices at record highs and fuel duty set to increase again in the coming months, I’ve been thinking about getting a more fuel efficient car.

Just read a review of the new VW Golf with BlueMotion technology. This car is streamlined to offer aerodynamic efficiency and the gear ratios have been engineered to deliver fuel efficiency too (whatever that means!)

My local Volkswagen dealer in Kent has some info about the BlueMotion VW on their website, think it sounds interesting so may check this out. Will keep looking at more fuel efficient cars this week to do a little more research.
