Best Ever TV Commercials
We put up a blog on our website the other day commenting on a car ad that ‘grabbed’ us.
OK, let’s confess right now, not many car ads have that effect on us. But this ad got us thinking – what are the really memorable car ads?
World Class Concours Comes To Australia
Australia is about to host two prestigious World-Class concours events, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne, and Private Fleet has ten family passes to give away to each event.
The first event will be held in Sydney on 10th October 2010.
Keep Left…Unless Overtaking
On a recent trip to the UK, I couldn’t help but notice how major roads (including motorways) fared better with increased traffic volumes than here in Australia. It wasn’t perfect by any means but it definitely seemed that in moderate to high traffic volumes, the traffic moved more smoothly and quicker than over here.
I’m pretty sure the reason is at least partly to do with the following:
Oranges Not Lemons
A car that goes from A-B every day without breaking down has got to be considered as a usefully reliable vehicle. Servicing has to be done on any vehicle to keep it safe and functioning at its best. Regular servicing also ensures that the car will last a whole lot longer and be reliable for an extended period of time. So, assuming that the manufacturers servicing has been carried out and the WOF checks done, when it comes to reliability, which makes and models of motorcar seem to be stand out performers? Let’s take a look.
Now, how could I go about gathering a useful wodge of information on this topic? On line… of course! ‘Gizmag’ was a useful site to find information relating to the reliability of cars in the last decade. The best place to find useful data was actually via a UK insurance company that took care of automotive warranty. As a privately owned insurance intermediary, Warranty Direct, were able to collect lots of data about warranty issues. These warranty issues are not so easy to prise out of the car manufacturers themselves, so with the help of Warranty Direct, a reliability index – an independent comparison of frequency of failure across the 55,000 vehicles the company insured proved very helpful. Take a look at the reliability index here.
