Car Reviews Suzuki SX4

When I first saw the vehicle, this small SUV crossover vehicle, there were no significant changes too. Suzuki just did a refresher on the SX4, with HID headlights have become a standard feature.

Well, We also do not waste the opportunity to try out the SX4 with white lights.

From the outside, if not observant, it seems nothing has changed. Unless you pay attention to the main lamp, and the front grille faces made for a little more sporty.

In previous SX4 headlamp only has 2 parts, this time for the SX4 SX4 has 3 sections in the headlamp (main light) and using HID lamps.

At the time of the day is not too clear headlamp differences between the SX4 and SX4 latest long this time, therefore detikOto was waiting at night.

White light from the headlamp SX4 lights were so bright like fire on a stage. Focus and evenly. We had no trouble for the night journey.

Although the highlight is sharp, do not make other motorists glare, because the distance SX4 lights low enough so as not to disturb the view of the rider from the opposite direction.

Inside the cabin, like something is missing in the middle of the dashboard. Yes, Multi Information Display (MID) disappeared, and replaced the audio subwoofer.

But, when glancing at the meter cluster, it turns MID joined the speedometer and other indicators, to be an equivalent of an energetic and dynamic in this SX4 facelift.

As for the SX4 engine is still the same as the old 1.5-liter DOHC VVT engine.

Car Reviews Honda Accord

Sexy stature. That was the first impression when I saw the new Honda Accord Full Size. The impression that is not easily forgotten in the new Honda Accord.

Indeed, Honda Accord Being somewhat swollen now, thanks to the wide body in the whole body. Starting next to the stern. What was it like driving a sedan this?

Well, this time detikOto get a chance to feel the New Accord VTi-L 2.400cc automated and no longer driven by a beautiful girl like some time ago. So it feels more satisfied.

Design grille, bumper very ditel so eleganitas emanated from a sedan berbanderol USD 481.5 million. When compared with the Toyota Camry sedan class, the Honda Accord is no less well established.

Once inside the passenger cabin, a luxurious and futuristic shine clearly through the design of the dashboard to the center console. Wood Panel berkelir very dark brown with light brown kontar in the passenger cabin from front to rear seats. Highly decorated the cabin New Honda Accord.

The key was dicolokan to and turn it to the ON position. The sound engine 2354 cc i-VTEC power capable of spitting out 180 hp at 6500 RPK sounded fine.

Before you press the gas pedal a deep, see the section of the passenger cabin. Amazingly the front cabin and rear cabin 'Japanese Samurai' was quite relieved that there was no trouble to enter. Interior sedan is equipped with brown leather upholstery with electric regulator.

Unfortunately the front passenger seat can not be raised and lowered electrically. One of these changes is the addition of the audio settings, from the previous only in the steering wheel is now in the back seat armrest. The four seats rather hard. If you want soft, need a little modification.

As a result, audio can be set by a passenger vehicle rear. Mmm, it prioritizes behavior that sitting behind the boss. While the driver's view ahead.

But if you have 165 cm height seems to be elevating seat. Because going to unobstructed views to the front of the engine hood length and width will be missed. With visibility that you will awake.

While the 2400 cc engine combined with 5-speed automatic trasmisi little boyok in lap down but very responsive at the rpm of about 3,500 rpm.

Well, if you want to feel better engine performance, simply lower the lever to mode S. MID lights would change to S. With it the car was ready rushed. S Mode 5 options provided acceleration to suit the driver's wishes.

Fun, New Honda Accord equipped Full Size Active Noise Control System (ANC) and the Sound Sensitive Volume Control (SVC), which managed to work enough to maintain maximum voice quality.

Enjoyment berkenadara further when cruise control is activated. Well, this technology is generally used when the trip straight and free of obstacles.

The car was invited to maneuver. Indeed, the car is a bit wild thanks to a big body. But the level of driving stability maintained thanks to Variable Gear Ratio (VGR). Technologies that keep us dikecapatan high and low.

At low speed, angle of the wheel will turn more sharply without the need to rotate the wheel again and again. While at high speeds, the steering ratio will return to normal.

Since the car for the bosses, no matter prepares Honda sedan with a soft suspension Honda's unique. Fun once, though invited on bumpy roads and damaged, the car body to stay awake while the tires are just up and down.

From what we've had in the New Honda Accord seems reasonable for consumers who are allergic to the car from Europe.

Competitors: Toyota Camry, Nissan Teana.

Log into the passenger cabin. Because the body quite cute do not expect the cabin relief.

For those of you who have a height 170 cm seems to be really down, but when it comes to in between the head and the roof still has a distance of about 25 cm.

Unfortunately for the affairs of the foot, the car had a lot of attention. Because the foot determines the quality of driving comfort.

While the outlook is quite impressive. when looking forward, we can monitor the streets with very liberal. Because Hyundai itself pinned wide asymmetrical glass. Due to the small, the area at the back, left and right of the car easily monitored, so that the 'enemy' from any direction can be read perfectly.

To reach power window controls, and entertainment features are still easy.

In terms of interior appearance, urban small car that does feature a bit. Dashboard there is only air conditioner thermostat, on / of AC and the AC regulator. Amazingly the lowest version of the Hyundai i10 has a CD player and cassette. Naturally, in that little car.

Machine was turned on. Well, for part one was pretty nice to discuss it. Because rauman 1,100 cc engine that has the power to 69 PS with torque of 99.05 Nm successfully suppressed well by the Korean car manufacturer.

Good, now more dahysat i10 power than the old one, there is an increase of about 5 Ps of the previous i10 to 64 Ps.

Car Reviews Mercedes-Benz ML350

For some people luxury 4x4 SUV might as something redundant. Luxury SUV was taken off-road to the damaged roads that could contaminate the car. Maybe so their minds.

But after all the German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz ignore it, through the Mercedes-Benz ML350, Mercedes offers a choice, unsparing 2 variants at the same time, the Grand Edition (variant with the most expensive prices) and Sport, which was launched some time ago.

Cars worth Rp 1.2 billion we had a chance to try their reliability. Starting from the streets of the capital of Jakarta outside the city until the tarnish and holes here and there.

How is Mercedes-Benz ML350 appearance?

In terms of looks, first saw it, the car is very solid Mercy, tall and large, the other car also was cute when compared with this SUV. Impression of sporty looks on the big grille and lower bumper chrome plated. 19 inch alloy rim also adds a robust Mercedes ML350.



From the back even more muscular appearance ML350 with dual mufflers are also additional chrome berlabur. While the above, there is roofrail which adds a sporty flavor.

Outside the sporty feel like upside down with cabin ambience. Initially we did not expected it, but after entering into it, really feels luxurious feel of wood with some additional material on the interior.

While high-quality leather-clad seat ready to accompany you. The roof also can you slide electrically so that it can enjoy the blue sky.

Besides luxury, the impression that emerges is an atmosphere of relief. Trunk also included a super large.

Immediately, 3500 cc V6 engine ignited. You will not find a stick transmission in the middle of the cabin. This stick shift to the right of the steering wheel. Unique enough to remind us of old car output.

But modern functions, to gear R, move to the top, while D move downward. While the P position, you must push the lever to the inside (towards the steering wheel).

Despite including a large car, acceleration is instantaneous, we note for accelerating from 0-100 km per hour the car is only need 8 seconds.

Unfortunately we do not have time to test topspeednya, but Mercedes claims this car can go up to 225 km per hour. Cruise control can be activated by pressing the lever to the left of the steering wheel.

Suspension is also quite soft for an SUV. Potholes on the road even though the car remains comfortable vehicles driven in high speed. Mercy seems to want to retain the image of the sedan in an SUV.

In urban traffic, because it has a large capacity engine, the car was quite voracious of fuel, the score 1:5. But if you bring the car in a constant speed on the highway, you can get consumption figures 1:10.

In short, this car is powerful, luxurious, comfortable, spacious, and wasteful. But the extravagant fuel course not a problem for those who dare to play offroad with billions of cars is not it?

May Fashion/Beauty Favorites!

Here are a few of my fashion favorites for the month of May. These are all things that I have obsessively loved this month and thought that they were significant enough to share with you guys :)

1. J.CREW Tanks: These tanks are my favorite tank tops this spring! They are super comfy, as most JCrew tops are, and come in the cutest color stripes. I bought the two above and have worn them both already, layering them over a white or gray tank. These are definitely the kind of tanks you want to layer as they are that super awesome baggy fit, on myself at least. The cotton is super soft and they also have a cool zipper detail on the upper part of the back making them all that more interesting :)

2. Urban Outfitters Fedora: I am really big into fedoras as you all probably know from my previous fashion related blogs. This one however has been one that I have wearing weekly during this month of May. It just seems to go with a lot of what I wear on a daily basis so it is so easy to just grab it and go.

3. Lucky Brand Acacia Sandals: These sandals are amazing! I bought them on impulse at my local Macy*s one weekend before vacation and I thought hey if I don't like them when I get home I could always just return them. I say this because too many times do I love something in the store and then hate it when I get home lol Needless to say, these are definitely going to be a staple shoe of mine this summer. I LOVE the 70's boho vibe they give off with the chunky bottom, they are soft good quality leather and are SO comfy!! I wore them all day on vacation this past weekend and I was on my feet going up stairs walking through museums etc for almost 7 hours and not a blister or hurt in sight :) DEFINITELY recommend!

4. Ballerina Buns: Here I show a pic of Kourtney Kardashian sporting this look, one of my favorites as the warm humid weather comes upon us. I find that when it is hot and sticky (humid) out the last thing I want is hair on my neck, the thought of it just makes me hot! lol This is a simple yet put together way to get your hair off of your face and out of the way. It only requires bobby pins, hair ties, smoothing hair brush and hairspray and you are good to go. There are many levels on your head to wear this, I however wear it like this:

My casual version of the ballerina bun :)

5. Havaianas Slim Flip Flops: A girl can never have to many flip flops during the warm months in my opinion. They are almost the only shoe I wear in the summer/spring when being casual. The Havaiana Slim flip flop is my favorite because it is comfy, sleek & stylish and comes in a variety of colors to match any outfit!

Below are a few beauty related items that I found myself using over and over again this month :)

1. Yes to Carrots Daily Cream Facial Cleanser: I love this stuff! It moisturizes my dry skin and leaves my face looking great. I use it every other day in the shower and haven't had any irritation or anything like that so I am definitely pleased. The Yes to Carrots line has worked wonders for me so far and this is just another thing to add to the list of things I love. It has the consistency of a cold cream and a little bit is all you need which means this will be lasting me a while. The smell isn't strong like I have read from some other reviewers which makes me thing maybe they changed the formulation to take care of this problem.

2. NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny: After hearing so many good things about this bronzer, I decided to give it a try. I saw it at my local target and at a little under $3 it was hard to not try. I absolutely love this bronzer, not only is it the perfect flush of light bronzer but it is something that I have found myself using daily, and that in itself says a lot! This may not be great for all skin tones as I have heard that it can appear a bit orangey on certain people, but for me it is perfect! I have other bronzers that are more than 8 times this price and don't look at great as this one. I have olive medium skin and this is definitely a light bronzer on me, but it is just enough for everyday use. I have my MAC Golden for when I need a more intense bronze. Give this a try asap!

3. Essie Nail Polish in Tangerine: I got this right before vacation this past weekend and it has quickly become one of my favorite spring/summer colors! It is a coraly deep orange color, almost completely matching my MAC lipstick in So Chaud. I love the way orange nails look with a nice golden tan :)

4. NYX Lipstick in Paris: This lipstick is another thing that I have found myself wearing at least 4 times a week this month. it is a creamy carnation pink color and looks amazing with nearly everything! It isn't shimmery or anything so it is perfect for everyday wear. I really like the NYX lipsticks because they are very pigmented, although I would always be sure to pack their lipsticks in my handbag because you are sure to have to reapply within the next few hours.

5. Yes To Carrots Carrot Lip Butter: I purchased this a few weeks back and this has already become my new favorite everyday lip balm. It has a citrusy scent that isn't too strong but refreshing. It goes on smooth and keeps my lips moisturized for the most part. I love again that it is from a paraben free, all natural company :)
