On the interior, trim is a tasteful combination of wood and leather (optional on the 528i and 528 xi), with a variety of choices available. The dash is elegant, with few buttons, but dominated by a center screen that monitors all functions and provides vision for the optional navigation and new night vision systems. All of this is controlled with BMW’s iDrive, which offers a one-knob interface that is loved by computer jocks and hated by many other reviewers.

2011 Subaru Forester S-Edition Concept

April 4, 2011 3 comments

The Sydney Motor Show doesn’t seize the full attention of the global media like Paris or Geneva, though this latest bit of news from Subaru certainly piques our interest. We had heard rumblings of a more powerful Subaru crossover before, and now this, the Forester S-Edition concept, previews what the automaker says is “an exciting development in our Forester range” set to debut early next year.

Subaru has boosted the Forester XT ’s turbo charged 2.5-liter flat-four up to 259 horsepower and 256 pound-feet of torque, gains of 32 and 20, respectively over the normal Australian model. That power runs through a five-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters (a proper stick-shift would be preferred, Subaru), and a new changeable torque distributing all-wheel-drive system keeps things in check on the road. Other enhancements include a revised sport suspension, 17-inch STI wheels, Alcantara seat trim and S-Edition car badging throughout.


Forester STI redux? Certainly sounds like it. Our only hope is that Subaru doesn’t make this hot new Forester a JDM-only issue.

Ford has added to the Focus range, the racy little Ford Focus CC. Like to open up the throttle down the highway and feel the wind in your hair? Then this one’s for you only. Pleasantly sculptured, the Ford focus CC has a cleverly concealed large boot. In fact, the 534 liters of boot space can swallow golf bags and/or holiday luggage with ease. It could swallow gear as quickly as a young teenager’s eating habit! With the top down, the boot still takes 248 liters. I could become quite attached to this little car. It is great for the weekend away, the Sunday drive, a run to the shops or off to the beach for a swim.Even without the top off, the Ford Focus CC is a fun drive. Oh, that’s the car’s top off – not mine! There are plenty of squirts to be had with the smooth 2.0 liter Duratec sixteen valve engine. Linked to a five-speed manual or the optional four-speed automatic with a sequential sports-shift feature, your drive will be lively, efficient and plenty of fun. The engine produces 107 kW of responsive power and 185Nm of torque and twist.

Glide into the supportive seats, and you’ll discover that the neat fit and finish of the Ford Focus CC is outstanding. I love the dash design, use of quality materials and overall stylish look of the cabin. The hard top is electrically folding, and there are amply of luxury items in the Ford Focus CC: dual zone climate control, flexible heated front seats, leather seat trim, a leather wrapped steering wheel, travel control, an awesome Sony 6-disc in-dash CD player with 8 speakers, airbags all round, an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist, Dynamic Stability Control that is linked with the Traction Control, a Rollover Protection Device (RPD) and sexy 17-inch, ten-spoke alloy wheels. Oh, and there’s heaps of exterior colors to choose from.

The little Ford Focus has been, for some time now, a highly successful seller for Ford. The car has always controlled superbly, had leading edge technology and has been a safe and relatively roomy small car alternative. The good build quality has always provided the owner with strong and reliable transport. Treat yourself to the fun Focus CC model today.
