BMW 650i Pros And Cons



The BMW 6 series was relaunched in 2004 with the BMW 645i. This car was a two door, four passenger luxury sports car. This car is ideal for a sports car enthusiast who would prefer a larger, more practical car compared to the 650's 2 passenger, lighter peers. In 2006, BMW upgraded the 645i to a 650i by increasing the engine a little. When including options and taxes, the 650i tends to run at about $80,000, so it's not exactly cheap. Here are the pros and cons of the car:



 Pros
 Amazing handling: The car is amazing to drive. When you drive the car, you feel as if you have total control over the vehicle. A car such as the Mercedes CLS (also priced near $80k) just cannot match this car's handling. The BMW 650i definitely has the handling one would expect from a German-made luxury sports car.

2010 Suzuki SX4 Crossover



Unlike their cross-town rivals at Subaru, the boys and girls at Suzuki prefer to give their customers a choice as to whether or not they want the security of all-wheel drive in their vehicles. Such is the case with the new Suzuki Kizashi and it remains so with the 2010 Suzuki SX4 Crossover which happens to be one of the nation’s cheapest all-wheel drive vehicles.
Model delineations within the SX4 line have changed a bit this year, however, and now Suzuki offers an front-drive only SX4 Sport variant that might be a better choice if it rarely snows where you live and you are looking to save some cash. Do note that the front drive only SX4 comes in either hatchback (Sportback) or sedan (Sport) styles—the Crossover only available as a five-door hatch.

2010 Suzuki Kizashi



Introduction
Suzuki says that the Kizashi midsize sedan is the most important car in the history of the company. Starting off with a bang, it was nominated for North American Car of the Year by a panel of automotive journalists who drove it, before it reached the showrooms. The word kizashi means something great is coming.The Suzuki Kizashi comes with a 2.4-liter aluminum four-cylinder with variable valve timing that does the job well, getting about 25 mpg in combined city and highway driving. It makes 185 or 180 horsepower, depending on whether it's mated to a six-speed manual transmission or Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT). The CVT works like an automatic transmission but can also be controlled manually with six ranges shifted neatly by paddles on the steering wheel.

Nokia C7



The Nokia C7 is a perfectly serviceable smart phone at a decent price. Its slim metal case, long battery life and heaps of features almost make up for its clunky user interface -- but not quite.
It's available for free on a £20-per-month contract, or £300 on a pay as you go deal. You can also pick it up for around £320 SIM-free.

Cold steel

Our favourite thing about the C7 is its shiny steel case. It's slim, solid and comfortable to hold. The mirrored front is a fingerprint magnet, but, if you don't mind incessant polishing, then you'll benefit from a gorgeous phone that feels like it can take some serious knocks and tumbles.

Nokia C3



The C3 is Nokia's latest messaging phone aimed at those who find the company's business-orientated E-series handsets too stuffy. Packed with social-networking features and sporting a full Qwerty keyboard, the handset aims to provide you with everything you need to stay up-to-date with your social circle.
With Vodafone currently offering the C3 for £80 on a pay as you go deal, it's one of the most affordable messaging phones around. You can also pick it up for around £130 SIM-free.
How very BlackBerryDespite its low price, the C3 feels remarkably solid. It's available in three different colours: grey, gold and lurid pink. The front of the phone has a classy-looking glossy finish, while the battery cover on the rear is made from aluminium, which is a surprisingly upmarket touch for a phone in this price range.
The C3 is reminiscent of a BlackBerry in terms of its design, with a landscape screen sitting above a full Qwerty keyboard. The screen's 320x240-pixel resolution isn't exactly earth-shattering, but, as it's only a 61mm (2.4-inch) display, the pixels are packed quite closely together, so text and graphics still look pretty sharp.
The display works well with most of the phone's menus and apps, but it feels rather cramped when you're using the Web browser. Sadly, unlike the Orange Rio, the C3 doesn't have a touchscreen. Instead, you have to rely on the square four-way button under the display to move through menus and scroll around Web pages.
