2010 BMW 750Li

Driving pleasure.Big car. Very imposing and simply amazing. This car is way up there with the best and its can stand up and be counted and not just that, annihilate competition by a margin. A beast on the road. Built to perfection and with  precision. BMW ,on this one wanted to show what they are capable of doing, and proved themselves they did. Just looking at the 750Li , you find it has its own swagga, One of those," I am here now, its time you paid attention to me and  me alone", and all this because of monstrous power refined by the Germans.

The front still looks a bit ordinary, matter of fact at first glance you think it is the 5 series, but at close inspection you notice, the body is bigger and rather wide and more imposing. There is a silly grin on your face now,  you realise this the BMW 750Li that they have been talking about. As you follow the trim to the back  you notice the designers at BMW pulled all the stops on the 7 Series, that way it could compete with the Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Mercedes S  Class and Lexus LS.



The Backside on the 2010 BMW 750Li is a bit fuller and more curvier, unlike its predecessor. A step in the right direction. Unlike the Step back in the three series, that was taken a few years back. Stepping on the inside is like getting into another zone, different world.

The seats are heated and they can shift in all sorts of angles for comfort. Loads of room as well  in this car, driver is very comfortable for a good drive. A power sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity and four-zone automatic climate control add to the luxury vehicle’s ambiance. Hardware includes a navigation system with voice activation.

This is a V8 4.4liter, 400 horsepower engine, so it has some kick in it. Just pulling out of the lot you can feel this machine is raring to go. Soon as there was an opening I stepped on it and boy, you wanna listen to the roar. And the control was amazing. Good job on the suspension because I could feel the road in my hands and best bit  is  this is a rear wheel drive so you can feel the car pushing  from the back. Very sturdy and settles on the road so well. On the motorway all the other cars seemed to be going backwards. Went on the off ramp to come back on my self and this is when things got so interesting for me. So instead of the usual slow  approach from a side road onto the freeway, the rep told me to put my foot down and I thought he was joking because the ramp curves onto the freeway almost like 180 degrees. Accelerating in these conditions in any other car is suicidal but not with the 750Li. Ah ah. I felt like I was being pushed against the driver's door and  my head was spinning. The Seat belt was nice and tight and I was in a good position to enjoy the BMW 750Li taking that ramp as if on a straight  road. I would like to see any car beat the X Drive “performance control,” a torque-vectoring system featured on the two-wheel-drive 750Li, that applies light braking to the inside rear wheel, while adding power to the outside rear wheel, correcting for under-steer without the driver ever knowing. Additionally, the 750Li is fitted with active front and rear anti-roll bars that adjust to keep the pitch of the big sedan going in its intended direction. Safety as well is paramount on the 750Li with dual deployment airbags and first-and second-row side curtain airbags. Nice little cocoon of comfort and safety.


All this said and done though the BMW 750Li is still a guzzler only getting 15mpg City and 22 highway. but one thing I know is for just around $80 000 one gets to enjoy the comforts that the Germans have put on this car.


One thing though that keeps niggling me at the back of my mind is how abundant the 750Li is on the street, and the characters driving it are  rather look unsavory. The gangster type. This lowers the value of the car quite significantly, don't care what people say.

Toyota Prius

This is the Third generation of the Toyota Prius so it seems like these guys are here to stay. And with the increasing rhetoric about saving the environment, what better way to compete in the market than with a more advanced Prius. I mean we all know that the big engine cars and polluters are slowly going out of favor. Brilliant to drive but with changing times falling short of environmental expectations. Very short.

The Toyota Prius still looks very futuristic and it stands out. The slick design shows someone was awake at every turn to make sure they produce a likable motor. Good to look at too. Well you know there has been numerous recalls by Toyota and the press has not given them a break at all. Justified, the  hammering they have been taking in a lot of cases . Considering there has been deaths which resulted from their negligence.
 I am not trying to defend the Toyota people for their arrogance at all.
The other outstanding thing  on the Prius is the Light Emitting Diodes (LED) headlamps  with auto leveling, auto-off and headlamp washers plus the LED tailamps
As you can all see the inside of a Prius, while simple, looks very futuristic and Spacey. Looks small from the outside but surprisingly roomy. Ample room for strollers and shopping ladies. And when you sit in the driver's seat you felt like the Prius is made out of molded glass really, because from the look , there is no feel of metal, but the one thing I have against the whole Spacey look, is the that one cannot see through the back window using the rear view mirror.

The wind shield  reduces glare however. First I have seen that on a car actually. Impressive indeed.

I found the get up and go real slow. Bit lethargic, but that can be expected because the gas engine only engages after the electrical motor has reached a certain number of revolutions. Sounds like a little golf cart to be honest, before the gas engine kicks in. The air only comes on when the gas engine is engaged and when you get to a traffic light, the electrical motor takes over because you are stationary  then, the car heats up or gets cold inside because there is no air circulation. Now what kind of thinking was that to save even on air circulation? Not cool. Still felt a bit unsafe without the rear view mirror use. Although its roomy inside the drive feels a bit restricted in movement, because of the dipping seat.
Good drive though nonetheless. but if you are a petrol head then probably not a good idea at all. I did manage to get the Prius up to 76 mph without the accelerator getting stuck. Phew! what a relief.

Can't go wrong if you want to protect the environment, with the Toyota Prius. Starting at just over $22000.00, this is not a bad buy if you are brave. Remember the Prius can do 50miles to the gallon combined. that's both City and Highway

Mercedes Benz E Class


This supposedly the ultimate driving experience, Mercedes.This was the case years ago, but not anymore. A lot of  manufacturers have pulled their game up and are matching Mercedes toe to toe. Still looks slick and appealing but that Mercedes eye turning aura is slowing fading away. Maybe its because there is too many E classes on the road, I do not know,or maybe in the E Class Mercedes tried hard to make it look like the CLS, and that car is well ugly. No wonder it was not as successful. But wait, no there is not a lot of luxury sedans like this one. Still four eyed like its predecessors, and then that Mercedes grill which never goes wrong. This car has rims that are so good there is no need to chrome it up, unless you are some pimp who really believes you have to lower the standards of the Mercedes or some low brow rap star. The inside still has that feel of quality and attention to detail only Mercedes can deliver. Now they don't have the gear shift on the obvious spot. Its by the steering wheel and you might mistake it for the indicator switch , which I did and I put the car in reverse.  Bit of an innovation but it could be dangerous. Old habits. Everything else is in the right place however like the indicator and wiper switch. Makes the Steering column a bit congested if you ask me and very untidy. In most of the new cars the  driver's seat control are actually on the seat but Mercedes chose to put theirs on the door, again crowding the spot for the mirror controls, window controls and such. Stepping backwards into confusion times.


 Safety has always been Mercedes priority and the E class is no exception, airbags all round, Night View Assist, Reads invisible infrared beams with a special camera, this innovation can be activated at nighttime when your low-beam headlamps are on and can detect objects nearly 500 feet ahead in near-total darkness. When activated, it displays the captured image on a black-and-white screen in the instrument cluster. Advanced software helps it detect human forms up to 300 feet ahead and then highlight them on the display. Unlike other systems that identify only warm objects like animals but not cold ones such as debris or parked cars, Night View Assist detects both. And with the image on a high-resolution screen and not the windshield, you get a clearer, sharper picture of what's ahead. This just touching the surface because Mercedes has tonnes to offer.There is decent room in the backseat especially if you have children and very comfortable too. There is trunk space in this motor but not as much as the Audi A6.

So when I drove the Mercedes I was expecting the usual comfort and flare that has for years been synonymous with what is Mercedes Benz. I expected this motor to outperform any car in its class namely the BMW 5 series , or Audi A6 perhaps but I have to say I was rather disappointed. No annihilation here. The get up and go was real good but not much better than the 5 series. The engine is 268-horsepower 3.5 liter V-6 so it packs a punch and good gas mileage. Only  does 17mpg city and 26mpg Highway. Impressive. I made sure i drove the E class along the same route. I know there is people out there who swear by the Mercedes brand  like the despots like Robert Mugabe and all the other egomaniacs out there, but gone are the days when the Mercedes brand was the only one doing the business. Take a look again and see whats out there. Handling was amazing and the car is real sturdy as well. Mercedes have always done a good job with the suspension. This is one quality I admire about Mercedes because you have the car in your hand and can feel it. Yes people noticed me and eyes were getting turned, but lately Mercedes are not the only head turner. Matter of fact people these days turn their heads and when they notice its Mercedes, they go back to what they were doing. No surprise there. Braking was exceptional as well so handy , what with the Anti-lock braking system and Brake assist.

Retailing at just under $50000, this is not a bad buy,for this goodness, I agree one has to pay a little bit more.

Take a look at the Specs on here.

2011 Kia Sportage Review


This is new from Kia Motors. Always thought they were ordinary in their car making. Guess I was wrong. Very futuristic in design. The curves show some seriousness on the part of the designer and the name Spor-taj. Maybe if you pronounce it like that, then this car should cost a couple of thousands dollars more. This a small car and  when designing a car this size, there is not much you can do. But yes, the Kia Sportage has an Audi Q7 feel about it. Evident on the backside. That narrowing that goes from the middle all the way back and the feel of incompleteness. Rumor has it it was designed by a former Audi Designer

This makes a very good car for the work commute because it can take a few people and does very low gas mileage, Very good for carpooling. For the trendy mothers who are not keen on the Mini vans, this is the car to consider as it  doubles up as a small SUV and a smaller version of the mini van only better looking. Very good for a small family. And there is a lot more room in the back if you have one child and want to carry a bit more stuff. This is because, one of the back seats can be folded.


Very basic  on the inside, easy on the eye but nothing too outstanding. Very comfortable  and the spacious inside. Has size limitations though. Not made for the average big American because there will be very little room to maneuver. With accessories this car can be a little performer but then again, this is not one car you want to buy for performance, rather for the convenience and affordability.

The drive was normal and nothing worth writing home about, and the car was very stiff. Yes the seats are very hard. One can imagine sitting on hard boards and feel more comfortable. One thing that annoyed me was that, it was loud inside this car. Like the silencer in the exhaust system was malfunctioning. A small engine perhaps, but too loud. You know when a car makes  some noise, you expect it to be moving fast, unfortunately the Sportage covers very little ground as regards to the purr in the hood. Mind you the fuel economy is really good at 22 mpg city and 31mpg highway.The design  and the performance do not match up at all. Good safety features like Brake assist system (BAS), airbags all round.

Decent package for just over $21000.00. Good to have a look at if times are hard or you just want to live  modestly

Jaguar XJL

What are the Brits known for, the worst weather, bad teeth and very bad food right? Yes all those without doubt, but surely they have to have something going for them, well apart from a very bad campaign at the Soccer World Cup, they have the Jaguar cars, precisely the new XJ model. Masters of design and quality. The XJ is a luxury sedan that was thought of carefully. TATA stepped in to finance this company and a very sound investment it was. I mean the British Monarch Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and the British Premier all have one in their Fleet. That says a lot for the Jaguar XJ.

Looking at the Jaguar XJL,there is that quiet yet loud voice saying,"Oh Hello", and  you can tell no stone was left unturned to come up with this one, completely divorced from the previous model.
Totally different look, but that one was a good Jaguar XJ as well. I mean you have to be an innovator to make such a bold transition.Very classy and hats off to the British for this one.This is a big motor. Long wheelbase too. Check the size of your garage before purchase. When you step inside your world changes. The lovely wooden panel that lights up your eyes is genuine wood and it goes all the way around the inside. The leather interior which comes in a variety of colours and my personal favourite being the cream, blends well with the other components inside.


Jaguar have taken it a step further and digitized the instrument panel . When the car is switched off the dash just looks black and when it comes to life the Virtual instruments  light up. Nice HD Touch screen for the navigation above the climate control knobs. The gear shift is another innovation. Now instead of the usual stick these guys have come up with a dial, yes a dial And the call it the JAGUAR DRIVE SELECTOR. So when the car is off the dial retracts and there a flat surface by the gear shift, and soon as it comes to life the dial rises up into the driver's hands. Changing gears is now like changing the radio station. The steering will can be adjusted but not the usual lever, but with a button and and so its now electric. The  seats are heated and cooled , plus they give you a back massage. I have not been in a car that does that yet.There is front and back climate control. Works well in the California weather. There is two panoramic roofs and a beam in the middle for strength and safety.
There is loads of room in the back for those who prefer to be chauffeur driven and conduct business at the back, a little table to set your laptop and browse the internet. Safety is a major feature here with airbags all around the car and if you are one of those high powered executives this car can be armored. Now the XJL carries an extra five inches of room in the back for there is plenty of leg room. trunk space is always a concern for the ladies and this bad boy has all the space. So not to worry because there is room for those very expensive big strollers you like.

The steering wheel has all the controls, so one cannot be distracted from driving by phone or volume control. This machine is made for your driving pleasure. The Jaguar XJ can pack a punch, because the supercharged 5.0/V8 does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and this is a big car. Looking at it you are likely to assume its big, so naturally its sluggish, but far from it.The ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL continuously  varies the suspension damping to suit the current driving conditions, plus the car is  made from Aluminum, making it light and very light indeed, so much you can feel in control. Control is superb.THE JAGUAR DRIVE CONTROL HAS DYNAMIC AND WINTER MODE. Dynamic  mode  interacts with the car's electronic management system  to give a quicker and more responsive acceleration and gear shift, while the winter mode dampens the accelerator response for more control in slippery conditions Suspension is well solid and makes the drive even more delightful. This car certainly turns heads more than an car I have driven so far. On the freeway I was ruling and I was just going past other cars without effort and all eyes were on me. Imagine how that felt. Plus Some idiot tried to come into my lane before I turned and naturally the XJL has a warning light that flashes on the wing mirror if there is someone in your blind spot, so that was warning enough and I stayed away. Terrible driving from this guy. He ought to be taken off the road really in his Toyota.

This is a car that was made with effort and care and I think at $80000.00 you get your money's worth. I want this car because it has class. The Jaguar XJL sets you apart and puts you up there where you belong, with the big boys.

VolksWagen Touerag

Germans, when it comes to the Volkswagen are known to be pretty ordinary. So looking at the Touareg its very easy to just dismiss it as another overpriced Volkswagen.  In a lot of cases, that's not a bad call at all, but this one model is different. Impressive to the eye, very robust. Has that rugged swagger about it. The I am rough on the outside but so smooth on the inside look.
There is a lot of room inside, A little too much sometimes. For some bizarre reason I could not get comfortable in this car. The seat could not be adjusted enough nor the steering too.I moved forward as much, and backwards to but still something felt incomplete. Very odd. Only sits five people and that's it. Volkswagen have come to terms with that American dominance in the SUV class. Only the Americans and Japanese have mastered the art of sitting seven people comfortably in an SUV. The steering wheel is telescopic and moves up and down. This is coming standard in most cars these days. There is enough boot space because Volkswagen conceded that they cant sit "twenty people" in this car, so they thought , why not add more space for your baggage. Climate control is dual, the front passenger can control their own environment. The sound system again is top quality. Airbags all round plus there are roll bars which makes the cars real sturdy and able to absorb impact. The back door can be opened like many cars, by remote and the only difference with Volkswagen have  is, the way the door adjusts to the height of your garage door. Only opens up that height, the door is adjustable to any height. Bravo Volkswagen. Paint job would be expensive if there is a scratch on the door. Plus the rear window can be opened independently so one can throw their groceries without opening the main door.

I felt domineering when I was on the freeway. The Touareg seems to come into its own  here. The car, considering its a diesel and Turbo Direct Injection, performs just like a Gasoline engine. The get up and go is impressive, and one can look down on other cars, great feeling. When you get to 100mph the suspension is so sturdy and with this sturdiness comes the ease to take corners. The car seems to just settle on the road and take the bumps with Grace. Fuel economy  is 18 - 25 miles to the gallon.

One car that people must look at . At just over $50000.00 this is a good buy considering there is all the nice gadgets and accessories. I would make this car part of the fleet. Look out for the Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid coming soon too.

2011 Hyundai Sonata

One of South Korea's finest cars. Bit compact and small by American Standards but that is the beauty of it all. The interior of this car catches the eye, The one I drove had a cream interior,  not leather but this new material which is resistant to dirt, basically, and the menace that is kids.Ideal for a small family. The sixth generation Sonata has serious technological upgrades and aerodynamics. Not sure if there was need to streamline the body in such fashion. And I am not sure how much safety they compromised here. Massive difference between this version and the fifth generation Sonata which I personally thought was steady. Now this cars looks like a hatchback and this is supposed to be a sedan.
What happened to that design, where the rear screen was smaller and the trunk made up for the rest of the space. Now I am not saying this car is rubbish, far from it, just pointing out the obvious flows. This is a 4 cylinder 2.4L gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine which is generous to your wallet because it gives you up to 24 - 35mpg highway. Like I said the only thing in the interior that caught my attention was those dirt resistant seats and the compactness of the inside. There is your basic radio, CD changer and then one can upgrade navigation for a price of course. Personally I think Satellite navigation should come standard.

Again the drive was smooth and because this car is not carrying a lot of weight, maneuverability is really good, and for those moments when you are on the highway it feels like it has always got that little  extra to move you on. This car is pretty standard and if one is looking for value for money then, this is the car to purchase. Starting at just over $22000.00

I would recommend small families or students because this will make a good comfortable runaround.

The Nissan Armada

 

Well this is just a Nissan is it not? you would think, but imagine my surprise when I stepped into this cockpit. That is what I am going to call it, cockpit. I was blown away and this is a car that was stationary. The gadgetry and gizmos in this car is out of this world. I know it's their Platinum edition, quite literally, but its only a Nissan right? There is a lot to talk about in this one. Do not forget that i have driven a few SUVs so far, so a Japanese SUV is not a bad idea at all to throw into the mix. It will make interesting reading. Lets start with the exterior, basic Nissan grill which is all too familiar, and then it follows with the curves to match the simple look. The " I am simple to the eye, but I know you like my curves", look. Because if you Blink, you can easily pass the Armada up for another ordinary Japanese car. Look very carefully people, this is a real motor. Although the design suggests an end to the curves right at the second row but abruptly starts as quickly as they ended. feels like Nissan was still trying to figure out if they can stop there, but they changed their mind in the process. Not good, boys and girls of Nissan, not good. that little extension at the back did put me off a little bit. Nice skirts and if you get some smashing rims, this car can just as well stand out like the big American SUVs. Looking just as mean and domineering like it has stepped out of a Rap video. Enough said about the looks. Step inside with me and observe how interesting things get,

One thing that stand out, is the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). The only SUV I have driven so far with this nifty little program. Now what the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) does it to react to the way one is driving. Like transfer drive to the Wheels that need  more power in slippery conditions for instance.Just like Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) I hear echos. No, No, No. Its better, way better in fact, because if one is on the road and the driver in front or beside is in a bit of a pickle, you would naturally react to try and avoid an accident, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) would react with you and control the car until stability is achieved. then there is The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This monitors the tire pressure and warns the driver if it goes below or above the recommended level. Handy for gas mileage. Seven people can sit in this car with  loads of room and comfort, though there will be no space for anything else at the back. Airbag system with dual supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant classification sensors, now that is cool. there is zone body construction with rear and front crumple zones. now I understand why Nissan Armada looks the way it does. The Armada has the ability to tow about seven thousand pounds just two thousand shy of its cousin the Titan, and the rear suspension is independent,and has Auto Leveling, depending on what you are towing. Awesome. the usual different Climate control for the driver and the passengers. The DVD screens for the second row and another one for the third row.

The Satellite navigation it top of the range  and has a few surprises of its own, where there is split screens for 3D view and bird's eye view, plus within the system places of interest can be incorporated in your journey so one knows exactly where they are. Skimming the surface on this one because the navigation is capable of a host of things. CDs are becoming obsolete as well because the car stereo which is a Bose can read a CD and the driver can select what tracks they want and save them onto the 9GHZ on board computer. this car, big as it is, can chew up the road.The get up and go is up there and not forgetting the purr as it books. Very imposing on the road so people will know when you are  kicking the V8 up a notch. One thing is you have to be ready to pay for the gas because this car only does 12mpg city and 18mpg Highway. Independent suspension, both rear and front, well solid and one can feel the road at one with the car through the steering and of course the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) is able to retain a degree of stability to aid the drive.


usually when one slams on the brakes most cars throw you forward due to inertia, however with the Armada, I had my hands off the steering wheel  doing 50mph,then slammed the emergency brakes.First the car remained in a straight line and get this i did not feel like I being thrown forward. Some anti lock braking system on the Armada, right? Now do not try this at home folks  because while its a good feature on the Armada, its for emergencies and not child's play. All i can say is at least someone at Nissan put the consumers first on this one.

This SUVs comes highly recommended from Drivernomis.  Out of all the SUVs tested this is my absolute favorite and its not even high end. Nissan are even giving rebates to get rid of their 2010 stock. This is going for just under $50000.00. this car has surpassed all my expectation and had i kept it longer i was not going to turn it in.

2011 Audi A6


Truth in Engineering...This is Audi's Global Truth. I mean there is commercials out there, but most of them leave you wondering what you are getting hoodwinked into. However in the new Audi A6, there is truth indeed. Not saying there is everything you want in this motor, but its up there with a few of the best. Audi has ESP (Electronic Stabilization Program). ESP has a number of safety features for greater handling and control in emergency situations or when the A6 is pushed to its limits of performance. The Side Assist helps  the drive monitor blind spots and warn of rapidly approaching vehicles. Other cars will have to be real quick though because the acceleration in the A6 is phenomenal for a luxury sedan. Plus the eight airbags and strengthened door beams make the A6 feel like your own cocoon. All controls are within the driver's reach and the optional Satellite navigation is voice activated... now that is cool. Bluetooth is enabled too. This is achieved by the MMI system ( Multi Media Interface). This means that all the accessories can be controlled using a few knobs and buttons with one performing a whole host of functions.Saying this though, I personally found the A6 a bit roomy for me, while everything is in good proximity, there is an air of too much extra space. Now compared to the BMW 5 series, my right hand seemed to be out of place when I was not holding the steering wheel. The armrest seems out of place with the extra cigarette lighter and compartment between the armrest and the accessory knobs, so twigging the knobs next to the gear lever is a bit of a chore with the armrest distance. Not impressed I must say. Loved the LED ( Light Emitting Diodes) Tail lights though.

The drive on the A6, as expected a cut above the rest. this motor just sits on the road and starts to go like it is one with the road. I would not even try to bore you with the 0 - what acceleration because this is not a sports car, but I drove the 300hp Supercharged V6 (3.0T). Since it's a smooth ride you can get to a 100mph unawares. Overtaking was graceful and thought that was only in the Mercedes, but here we are an Audi with Grace. Those rigs looked like they were going backwards. In the Audi A6 you get fuel economy in a high performance engine. This V6 (3.0T) gets 26mpg highway. Not bad at all. I like the fact that you know where you are going as regards to the True North as this shows on the rear view mirror. this is one of Europe's Premium sedans. Mind you these guys have come up with an Audi A6 5.2 Liter FSI V10. Why, I have no idea considering they have R8 FSI V10 too. Guess Audi want to join the American gas guzzling club. OK so we know Audi can do big engined A6s too. Big wow. The 300-hp Supercharged V6 (3.0T) will set you back just over $ 54000.00, and I think its a fair price for a luxury sedan of this Caliber and for $6000.00 less than the BMW 535i, I will take this car any day.

It is seriously worth taking a look folks.
