Tweet
The Citroen DS5 is the third model to rise from the DS range
and Citroen seems to have done something right with the new Citroen DS5. The
superb styling of the DS5 is something to look at and it’s no surprise then
that the DS5 is in the running for the World Design Car of the Year Award, with
the winners being announced at the New York International Auto Show this week.
The road to victory won’t be easy though as the Citroen DS5
will be going head to head with the Land Rover Evoque and the Volkswagen Up!.
There’s no doubt that this will be a tough decision to make but the DS5 may
just have what it takes.
The DS5 range is the first Citroën model to feature HYbrid4
diesel hybrid technology, providing enhanced performance with a CO2 emission of
99g / km. The advanced HYbrid4 system delivers 149kW with four-wheel drive
capability with an acceleration boost function for the open road.
The interior is classy and modern, offering drivers the best
that Citroen has to offer and proves to be a smooth, effortless ride on the
road. The Citroen DS5 also offers heaps of space with a 465 litre boot
compartment and seats five people comfortably.
The Citroen DS5 will be available in South Africa in mid
2012.
Do you think the Citroen DS5 has what it takes to win the
World Design Car of the Year Award?

Buying a car from a Dealership or Private Seller?
Tweet
There’s no question about it, buying a car is tricky
business. One of the first decisions a new car buyer will make is whether to
buy a new car or a used car. This is shortly followed by the decision to buy a
car from a dealership or from a private seller.
What is the better option? If you think about it, it really depends on who you are and what car you are looking for. If a new car is on the cards, it may be in your best interest to shop around at various dealerships to understand what the different offerings are and where you can get the best deal in terms of financing and all the extras. In many cases, buying a car through a dealership takes away a lot of the headache of buying a car as the dealership will take care of all the necessary paperwork and offer hassle free service that many people prefer and are willing to pay extra for.
If you are thinking of buying a used car, a dealership is an option but it might be useful to consider buying a car from a private seller. Websites such as www.cars.co.za have thousands of vehicles to search from and make it easy to search for cars that meet your needs. If money is a concern to you then buying a used car from a private seller is probably your best bet even though it might take a bit longer to find the car you are looking for.
The decision ultimately lies with you. I happened to find a useful article that addresses the ups and downs of buying a car from a dealership versus buying a car from a private seller. If you wish to find out more, read the article.

The new Porsche 911 comes in two models, the Carrera and
Carrera S, both with an extended wheelbase, adding to road grip as the
Carrera’s flat six 3.4 litre direct injected engine tears up the tar, producing
a hefty 350 HP. The Carrera S comes with a 3.8 litre direct injected engine,
producing an impressive 400 HP. The
aluminium steel body has resulted in a 45kg weight loss helping the 911 perform
at its best, sprinting from 0-100km in 4.3 seconds and reaching a top speed of
300 km/h.
