Mini Clubman "Kiss my butt!"



The Mini has always been an instant recognisable appearance that in most occasion would literally turn heads. The brand continues to grow with the introduction of the new Clubman model that carries the same uniqueness in the shape and design of the Mini bloodline. The powerful external contours underline the striking and aerodynamic profile of a Clubman. Uniqueness is a factor thus among the Minis too. Subtly integrated into the right-hand side (passenger door) is the "distinctive door" to a Clubman called "clubdoor" that ensures stress free access to the rear seats that also gives sleek exterior profile when closed. A bigger mini may sound like outbound the tradition, but the new Clubman succeeds in offering slightly more good space and cargo room while it still remains compact and true to its concept. The new member of the Mini family is a four-seat, two door hatchback. Added to its uniqueness is the two-door cabinet swing butt to fill in all your luggages and extras.


Driving highlights the sporty kick of this critter; crisp transmission and swift acceleration makes it a sportstar! Powered by the twin-scroll turbocharged 1.6L engine and has benefited from a number of performance-enhancing revisions, including changes to the air filter, air mass meter, exhaust system, catalyst and turbo charger. Now pumping out 155kW and 260N.m of torque, the John Cooper works accelerates to 100km/h in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 238km/h. Is it not too fast to kiss the butt? The clubman brings with it a fuel consumption of 8L/100km.

Overall, the MINI Cooper Clubman's increased in size and interior space does not affect the car's signature look and feel. This is a car that delicately balances fun and practicality - with the emphasis on FUN!

Mazda3 Hatchback --- Stir your soul!


























As i now start my unsolicited venture to blogging, I thought on what would be the best blog to cut my ribbon than starting with my own car!Lolz so here goes and read!

"COULD BE" the most powerful front-wheel drive in its class!"

I have been driving different cars since i was sixteen and i finally got my own hitch , the MAZDA 3 hatchback sports. Originally I opt for the sedan specifically white, but my buyer chose the buttless, goodbye Beyonce! Great! Quite unexcited until I drove her. and once I felt the raw and explosive power of the buttless chic, I understood why my dad choose the mazda 3 hatchback sports over the sedan. The technologically advanced "techtronic activematic transmission" for enhanced acceleration and ultimate driving pleasure would be a start for this fire-breather! The engine and tranny is in perfect sync together, very smooth. It's not "Porcshe fast" or anything like that but it has plenty of punch and is heck of fun while driving. The driving position is excellent, the seat's supportive, the engine's smooth and responsive and I read that it is one of the best designs on the road today. I really dont know!hehehe. The interior design is clean-sporty and very appealing. should i need to tell unexpectedly roomy!?Lolz. I've tested other vehicles in this category and none can match the smooth "zoom" of the engine, the sound is beating my ear drums real good! I had tried driving several times my ex-girlfriend's Honda Civic 2008 and yes i did compare, and I have to say the Mazda3 is a superior in most ways no offense to her.hahaha. While the steering and handling are far superior to any vehicle I have driven in its class, you can even drive in pinky finger!hahaha. It's already great in city driving and and what more in country driving which i sure experienced plenty "what the heck!" fun on turns! Who needs to go 0-60 in 5secs, 9.5 secs is fine with me and it does smoke a lot of 'those' cars already. I did my research on this car and I say it's a great buy. The body was designed by Volvo giving it a European feel & safety. The suspension was designed by Ford giving it the American sports car handling and the engine was designed by Mazda giving it the Japanese reliability. And yeah, fuel efficiency rate is on 7-8km/L for city driving and somehwere 10-11 km/L on country. Not so bad. So cool So zoom!
