Car Advise User Submissions

Posted in Site related

GoodNews
Car Advise is due to expand the amount of reviews posted on The blog.

One of the ways we wish to achieve this is by allowing the visitors of this website to send their own review articles, People already know that owners all around the world who already own that specific car or motorbike will always give the best review and give more detail about that specific car or motorbike  and will know all its pros and cons so they can offer a more detailed review while hopefully being able to keep it simple so not to confuse people who are not experienced when it comes to buying a new or second-hand  car or motorbike.

We are asking all users to go to our Forums which is located on the navigation bar under pages tab,  While logged in you will be able to post your thoughts or suggestions in the feedback section of the forum, All suggestions will be considered.

Mainly we want to find out if users would like to be able to publish  their own review articles  while gaining documentation and help  on how to get demonstration cars or motorbikes for the purposes of writing a review for Car Advise, If they would like to have that implemented to widen the range of articles being posted on the blog thus increasing the amount of users able to use the blog to get some help in finding their next car.

Obtaining free demonstration cars or motorbikes you arrange the time you keep it for normally a few days sometimes longer and manufacture pays the insurance so long as you have a valid driving licence OR you can just write a review about a car or motorbike you own or many if you own a few.

Suzuki Swift Automatic – SZ4

Posted in Reviews

SWIFTSZ4

I purchased a Suzuki Swift for a friend of my mothers today who wanted to spend around £14,000 on a nice new car,  As he already owned a Suzuki I thought why not continue with what he already knows so he isn’t out of his comfort zone.

Buying the Swift was straight forward and saved around £2,000 because of end of September offer, After part-ex old car for £5,500 then £7,000 was paid by cheque once cheque cleared.  got car today!!..

First impressions are great it is a 1.5 Automatic which is quite yet not as lacking in power as i thought pretty nippy at times which is great, Although what mainly I thought was stupid is the keyless entry although it has like a key hidden inside the fob which can be taken out and used if battery is dead normally you walk up-to car with fob in your hand and it will detect fob and unlock for you + No key is required to start car only key near car.

So let’s say your inside having a cup of tea and your little brother has a laugh and goes outside presses button on car door handle it opens he starts and parks in middle of road comes in then says Why you park in middle of road..

I was mad but also not bothered as bought car for mother’s friend and i explained the problem to him he is ok with it as distance from his front room to car is more than what fob can reach plus We assume if you drive off totally it will cut out engine once it detects key is no-where near car, However haven’t tested that yet will do tomorrow or day after car is no longer here i drove for few hours it drives like a dream..

On new 60 plate(2010) perfect car plus cheap on insurance so perfect little run about but unlike Normal Suzuki’s it has a-lot of technology built into the car which normally you wouldn’t find in a Suzuki as there mainly cheap cars and not big on optional extras.

If buying a swift do NOT buy any model apart from the  sz4 model  as it’s the most elegant and just all around better interior.

More will be added to review when I had chance to drive it for longer and work out what its like on petrol, Although assuming is should be pretty good anyway.

Suzuki Splash – Review update

Posted in Reviews

Well, It seems that the car I had to review “Suzuki Splash 2009 Model” which had some kind of issue at first I generally thought it maybe me not being use to the driving place.
However this was not the case I asked a few friends to drive it to see if it works for them any better which it did not, The problem is the pedals for Clutch,Brake,Accelerator are all so small and lack any width, It makes operating the car hard, Soon as you try release the clutch slowly it will kick back forcing the pedal up without smoothly going up, Meaning most of the time car judders when setting off or stalls.

This is a slight problem, Car has been given back to Suzuki who are looking into it, But rest assured I am positive that it’s the pedals size which are the problem, So take that into mind when buying a Splash, You may need to buy after-market Pedal covers to make them have more width, However it could also be a clutch issue itself it feels like a cable clutch and cable is snagging, I will post an update when Suzuki have determined the problem, I couldn’t take a look myself as it’s not my car so taking anything apart and checking if it can be fixed is something I wouldn’t even try.

It’s not a major problem don’t let this put you off buying a Suzuki splash, It’s just irritating after a while but if this happens to you take your car back to Suzuki who will sort the problem out free of charge – Covered under warranty.

Suzuki Splash 1.2L 84.5BHP 2009

Posted in Reviews

The Suzuki Splash is a type of mini-MPV model which offers low CO2 emissions and high fuel economy compared to other vehicles of the same size, The model that we tested was the 1.2L 84.5 BHP manual, With a top speed of 109 mph and a 0-60 of 12.3 Seconds With the added benefit of car tax being as cheap as £35 per year which is a saving compared to any older vehicle of the same size as the splash.

With a combined fuel consumption of 56.5 mpg, The Suzuki Splash will provide families with both an economical and stylish offering which delivers the same fun-to-drive character, with agile, confidence-inspiring handling thanks to the highly acclaimed Suzuki Swift platform.

With prices starting from £9,295 to £11,185, The Suzuki splash is a great car to help in saving you money on cost of running and maintaining a car but also help’s in cutting down CO2 Emissions emitted by all car owners who recklessly buy a car based on its look’s purely however sometimes we have to think things through and think about the cost of running and maintaining them long-term.

Suzuki mainly advertise the Splash as a perfect female’s car, I believe that is incorrect and actually its a car that both women and men can drive – Depending on the colour for a few people.

The splash without going into a-lot of detail has many of the features most of the cars today have e.g “ABS,Power steering, MP3 Compatible CD player, Tilt adjusting steering wheel, Remote Control central locking, 2 Cup holders , 2 bottle holders, Remote lid fuel opener and much more”

So the splash is positively not lacking in features or design making it the perfect car for the small family, If buying a car why not visit your local Suzuki showroom and take a FREE test drive in a splash and see how you feel..!!
