I'd like to consider Ferrari as a scaled down version of God.

Subaru gets an STI.....and not the type you're thinking!


Car giants Subaru are rumoured to be releasing the new look Subaru Forester, a super-charged STI version that is ultra-sporty and packs a mean performance.

The already turbocharged Subaru Forester model currently on the market has 322 horsepower, stronger than any similar competitor, so the Subaru Forester STI is set to achieve results. Above the Toyota RAV4 as well as the Mazda CX-7, Subaru means business.

Although Subaru won’t confirm anything at present, it is except that the new Subaru car will go global!

Audi the Fashionista

The prominent fashion partnership for both London and New York Fashion Week, Mercedes-Benz has got some stiff competition in the form of car giants Audi.

Keen to break into Japan, Audi has created a fashion week in Singapore aptly called Audi Fashion Festival which is the perfect showcase of the new Audi car range as well as all of Japan's hot new design talent.

The ideal date for both women and men, the new Audi R8 is on show and keeping the men more than occupied...

What do you think about Stephanie Rice's 'F' Tweet? Should she have been dropped from Jaguar?

Unfortunately Twitter was not the right way to voice her opinion, whatever the subject matter. Besides, I am sure her daddy will more than help her with the upkeep of her shiny new Jaguar...

La Ford Focus est belle!


Paris is a Ford playground with the introduction of the new Ford Focus ST. The number one attraction in a long list of extremely desirable Ford cars, on show at the Paris Motor Show in September.

A premier of the model if you may, the new Ford Focus RS is the flagship vehicle for the range of performance based models set for release in 2012.

The flashy new Ford Focus model boasts an updated version of the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder Ford EcoBoost engine and is certainly the car for those that have a need for speed and enjoy a soundtrack to their speed in the form of a growling 4-cylinder power plant engine.

I am so eager to see the new Ford Focus at my local new ford dealership, but unfortunately I am going to have to wait until 2012. Until then, the used ford dealer Sussex is only a short drive away and stocks a huge range of fantastic Ford Focus models.

For the meantime, check out the exclusive pic...

The Kia Soul gets an injection of sex-appeal…

The new Kia Soul commercial is a real turn up for the books. Gone are the comedy hamsters that are asking if 'they can kick it' replaced with the sexy golf professional Michelle Wie.

At 6'1" and 20 years of age, the golfer is talented, fresh and confident, the embodiment of the new KIA Soul car. Available at my nearest Sussex KIA dealership, the car looks pretty hot on the forecourt that is for sure.

The new shape Kia Soul is fantastically suitable for women drivers that are looking for a fun, yet girly car that certainly delivers performance when you need it most.

Although KIA in Eastbourne around an hour’s drive to get to, with a sexy promotional girl like that, I am almost positive my boyfriend will be all but happy to join me on the journey!!

Wanted: Reliable. User friendly. Attractive.

I know what you are thinking… A section in the lonely hearts column? No, this is in fact a plea on behalf of my Aunty MoMo who is looking for a new Swift in Sussex.

Unfortunately she has been rather ill over the years and therefore qualifies for such schemes as Motability, Sussex dealerships that I have researched on the net seem to offer this including one dealership I found online selling Worthing Suzuki cars.

The Suzuki Swift is relatively new out, but promises reliability in its performance whilst retaining its ‘fun factor’ perfect for my fun-loving Aunty. Just like the swift, she is the most fun to be around and always there for me when I need her most.

I feel some more car shopping coming on!!

Mazda 6th hits the big time with 6 figures…

Nine years on from its original production, the new mazda6 has hit its two-millionth car manufactured making it the second fastest Mazda car sold of all-time, the first being the Mazda3.

The first Mazda3 was manufactured at the Hofu Plant No. 2 in Yamaguchi prefecture; Japan and the plant are since enjoying celebrating the milestone that is the 2,000,000 car in production.

The new generation Mazda6 was launched in 2007 was spurred on by the previous Mazda6 when it hit 1,000,000 in 2006 safe in the knowledge that the second million would be close behind.

The executive officer in charge of R&D and Program Management at Mazda Cars was quoted as saying 'I still have a special fondness for this terrific car' and he is extremely 'grateful to the two million-plus customers around the world who have purchased a Mazda6.'

Congratulations Mazda!

The Ford S-Max is better than any computer game you’ve ever played?

Car manufacturer Ford has come up with a life-like new 3-D marketing campaign for the Ford S-Max. Using life like 3-D projections to showcase the Ford S-Max and its many advanced technologies Ford seem to have hit the nail on the head with this one.

The campaign to be displayed outdoors will be debuted in September 2010 and will be made up of two integrated sequences including a theatrical film followed by various laser sequences shown on iconic building dotted around the UK.

The buildings used for the outdoor campaigns appeared to freeze over and then an ice-climber would scale the wall using objects to cut away sections of the ice from the wall much alike to a video game.

An extension of the TV commercials surrounding the new Ford S-Max that feature a "Get more out of life" motto, the new outdoor campaigns really manage to capture the highly spirit characteristics of the new Ford car.


A spokeswoman for the brand has stated that the new form of advertising successfully 'showcases new Ford S-MAX's cutting-edge technology and innovation' and has enabled Ford to 'engage with the audience in a new way.'

The new Ford S-Max, both athletic and sleek in its design has proved to be extremely popular thanks to its efficiency, design and power and also its relative cheapness to run and maintain. With affordable service and Ford parts costs available, your new Ford S-Max Stainless Steel Scuff Guards needn't cost you the earth!

My friend who recently purchased a used Ford Fiesta has had to purchase some fiesta accessories including fiesta mats and was outraged at just how much they costs her as she wasn’t aware that fiesta spare parts would be so pricey!

Find me that used car in Kent!!

In my continued quest for finding a new or used car in Kent, I have stumbled upon a fantastic car dealership in Kent and Sussex specialising in just that- new and used cars Sussex.

I am against a pretty tight budget as I do not have the money I would probably hope for although this will not stop me from having a good root around what they have to offer. Franchises include Ford, Renault, Mazda and Subaru and after winning Automotive retailer of the Year for 2011 at the AM Awards I am instilled with a healthy dollop of hope!

Specialising in cheap cars in Kent, they are a leading supplier of quality used Ford and Mazda models and I have had my eye on a used Mazda MX-5 in kent for a while so they may just persuade me to buy used cars Kent.
