For its first ever entrant into the highly competitive mid-size segment, Suzuki has done a good job with the Kizashi, though it may not look as good as the original concept car. With its continental styling cues, amenities of sorts in relative abundance and a sporty driving experience, the Kizashi offers car buyers an alternative that is never off their tangent.

Project VW R32 | Driving It

IN VW, Volkswagen, Vee Dub, Golf, R, GTI, R32

My oh my! That soundtrack is addictive! It's been about a month since I got the R32 and it has burned as much cash as it has pavement!

On the move, the dimensions of the 5 Series felt as though it was shrunken, with the car's suspension and engine providing a confidence inspiring drive, belying it's size which is by far the biggest 5 Series ever in the model's history. Though the car looks visually more compact, the wheelbase in reality has been increased by more than three inches. Prodding the accelerator, the car surges forward with no hint of turbo lag. The throttle response impressively quick and sensitive with nary a hint of jerkiness and the car going from 0 to 100 in just 6.1 seconds.

Fully stock inside and out, just the way I like it. Mk V Golf still handsome to look at and classy in its own right. After all, it's the car that put VW back into the swing of things - pardon the pun.

Project VW R32 V6

It was down to a 350Z or an R32 in my quest to own a V6. Both are great cars, but as I placed my mind over my heart, the choice was clear.

Amongst the Laguna range of vehicles in the Renault stable, the Coupe is definitely the most stylish, as compared to its hatchback and sedan siblings. Though many (usually the automotive purists) may scoff at its attempt at being a pseudo Aston Martin, those in general would probably appreciate and fall in love with the car, which means a job well done for the designer. But has the designer done much then? There is a saying that goes along the lines of 'Less is more', and for the Laguna Coupe, Renault has managed to achieve that with its clean lines.
