<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
Suzuki’s Grand Vitara is Suzuki’s time-worn SUV that is basic with 3 different grades. The car is without some of the advanced technology like keyless entry and powered tailgate. <br />
<br />
It is only 4-stars ANCAP rated that offers stability and traction control as well as brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The Grand Vitara can rev well up to 6000rpm but at higher speeds, the engine starts straining. Low speeds might give you a bit of a bumpy ride with a fair bit of body roll but makes up for it off-road.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The Grand Vitara is comfortable with ample space in front and the rear and plenty of cargo space with 398 litres which can go all the way up to 1,368 when the rear seats are down. <br />
<br />
<b>Overall </b><br />
The Grand Vitara gives you the basics and an immense amount of space, but a bit lacking in terms of stability and handling.<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The Subaru Forester is still doing well in the market as a family SUV that can truly perform off road. <br />
<br />
The latest model gives a nice front grille and bumper with a new shape, 18 inch alloy rims, Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist and an automatic tailgate system. <br />
<br />
The car performs well, but can be expensive, both to purchase and to run.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The Forester breezes over any bumps even at high speeds with the grip from the wide tyres. The improved suspension and steering make it easy to handle through different environments.<br />
<br />
However, suspension balance is reduced at lower speeds but at there is less feedback in the cabin. <br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The Forester gives off a spacious feel inside the cabin which is a little rugged, but practical.<br />
<br />
You get amazing space for both passengers and equipment totaling to 505 litres and triple that with the rear seats folded. <br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The Forester will do exactly what you need it to do as a work vehicle or for your family which is very practical.<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The Cayenne comes with an impressive 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine and a recent facelift of 19 inch wheels and auto dimming interior. <br />
<br />
The diesel model doesn’t come with autonomous braking or keyless start and steering is manual. Anything more would require expensive upgrades.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
Corners are a little shaky with the all-wheel drive but the suspension allows you to manage the car well. <br />
<br />
Off-road adventures are perfect but the city might seem off your course because the size makes tight turns difficult. <br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
<br />
You’ll get cushy seats in the front with door pockets and plenty of space in the rear for passengers.<br />
<br />
The boot is just as spacious, with a 40/20/40 rear folding seat totaling up to 1780 litres.<br />
<br />
The only downside is the immense number of buttons which are there just to confuse you.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The Cayenne gives you immense capacity and an exciting drive and nothing less than what you would expect from Porsche with this new sports wagon.<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The Nissan Juke is a crowd favourite which looks good with high wheel arches and an aerodynamic edge.<br />
It comes with a 1.6-liter turbo with intermediate lock of the CVVT system and a fitted low-pressure EGR system. <br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
It offers the I-CON system so you can get normal, sport and eco drive modes. It can go 0 to 100 in under 7 seconds with the front CVVT.<br />
<br />
Its steering is pretty light with speed-sensitive electric power steering that maintains agility with its small wheelbase but the front end lacks grip at higher speeds.<br />
<br />
Overall, the ride is comfortable though the suspension struggles to iron out potholes producing noise from the aftershocks of hitting one. <br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The interior is colourful with highlights especially on the main console but the material quality is low with thin and hollow plastic. <br />
<br />
The backseat is a bit cramp especially for tall people but it can folded to give a bit more cargo space.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The Juke is a fun and agile car but not as spacious for those bulky items.<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The latest Triton comes with a new grille that is lined with LED day lights and high intensity headlamps. <br />
It is equipped with a brake override system and force limiters on the seatbelts qualifying it for the 5-stars ANCAP rating. <br />
It has potential to tow up to 3100kg on both models.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
Speed is not a priority but this car is engineered to maintain a good pace even while pulling a load. The design of the vehicle makes it stable with decent fuel consumption at 7.6L/100km.<br />
The extra reinforcement in the rear frame helps with weight distribution for enhanced speed resulting in smooth drive.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The Triton has a pretty rugged interior with chrome trim which complements the new instrumentation layout. <br />
Passengers will get reasonable space in the rear cabin while the tilt-and-reach adjustable wheel helps get the driver comfy. <br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The new Triton is a stunner and the vehicle is perfect for pulling and safety. However, space might be a concern for large families. <br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
<br />
The Everest classes like a utility truck with more capacity for cargo and passengers and a shorter body length and wheel base.<br />
<br />
The Everest comes with a standard kit along with other technologies like active noise cancellation and cruise control on top of regular safety advances. <br />
<br />
Some technologies are missing like climate control and auto parking which can be upgraded for a price.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
<br />
The Ford Everest is smoother with a good balance of suspension dampers to help manage bumps and turns.<br />
<br />
The vehicle can pull its weight with a maximum torque 1750rpm. The electric steering is a good addition and parking is easy.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
<br />
As a seven-seater, there is plenty of room for passengers. Seats are movable to further ease boarding/alighting. You can get up to 1060 litres with the 3rd row folded and 2010 litres when you fold all of them.<br />
<br />
The seats are upholstered and supportive for all rows with lots of storage places for everyone.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
<br />
You won’t have to complain about space and power for both on and off road experiences for a price.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
<br />
The 3-series has been around for the last 4 decades and is still popular due to its solid performance and the latest revamp will focus on the engine.<br />
<br />
The 3-series can go from 0 to 100km/h in 5.9 seconds with an eight-speed transmission and can get up to 1700kg of towing capacity. It also comes with additions like reverse camera and adaptive M suspension.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
<br />
The 3-series ranks very highly in terms of performance with good steering and gearboxes options for a steady ride even on curvy roads.<br />
<br />
We highly recommend the adaptive dampers to benefit from the additional control.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
<br />
The classy interior will not disappoint with the three-spoke leather steering and the well-positioned dashboard with dials and controls within easy reach.<br />
<br />
Its head and leg-room are expanded but the back-centre passenger will have to compromise. Boot space is generous at 480 litres.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
<br />
The 3-series is easy to drive and affordable to upkeep but you will be paying for the brand and the quality experience.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>The Car</b><br />
<br />
The A1 is smaller than A3 with grille and overall stylistics being uniquely Audi. The wheels get bigger as you go up the tiers.<br />
<br />
The standard kit offers alloy wheels, a 6.5-inch display screen and heated electric mirrors. It qualifies for the 5-stars ANCAP rating with ABS, traction and stability controls.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
<br />
The A1 is a compact vehicle which makes for good handling and parking. It's also agile with the evenly-weighted steering.<br />
<br />
There are a number of driving modes to select with standard electronic differential to boost grip.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
<br />
High quality interior is expected especially the luxurious dashboard. The glossy black air-vent sleeves can be customised.<br />
<br />
The front seats are adjustable for comfort with ample space, but rear seats are upright and might be a little sore.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
<br />
The A1 comes with quality engine and interiors for a price but not so suitable for large families. Check with The Smarter Finance Company for the available options!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
<br />
The Volkswagen Golf is yet another old-timer on the market with exceptional value retention.<br />
<br />
The Golf is turbocharged, but very economical. You also get stability control and City Emergency Braking system in higher models qualifying it for 5-stars ANCAP rating.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
<br />
We love how the Golf handles steering and stability at turns. There is also little noise even on highways.<br />
<br />
The downside is the hefty additional sum needed for more power and 4-wheel drive.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
<br />
The driver’s seat is comfortable and adjustable for a good vision but the quarterlight windows are distracting.<br />
You get a 6.8-inch colour touch screen and Bluetooth phone connectivity with well-positioned dials on the dash.<br />
<br />
It is comfy for every passenger and the boot has 280-litres of cargo space or 1,270 litres with the rear seats folded.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
<br />
The only concern is its hefty pricetag but it is worthy looking at the retention of its resale value.<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>The Car</b><br />
<br />
The Corolla into its 11th generation has managed to maintain its sales numbers as a “safe choice” for an all-rounded family saloon.<br />
<br />
The latest model tries to up its street style with Toyota putting in efforts to showcase a more up-market feel.<br />
<br />
You get efficient running costs and fuel economy coupled with impeccable service standards and a strong resale value as well as the full 5-stars ANCAP rating.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
<br />
The Corolla gets a new electric-assist power steering and better suspension but the drive wasn’t exciting with its ordinary engine.<br />
<br />
The car also struggles at corners with the rear waggling over bumps. Stability and traction help to ease a little, but loses speed.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
<br />
You will get a leather steering and fabric-trimmed seats. The 4.2-inch colour screen provides you with technology and connectivity.<br />
<br />
The new version gives more rear and boot space. The windows are small so we’d recommend the sunroof.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
<br />
The Corolla is a decent car in the industry which is a typical run of the mill appliance but still retains its value well.<br />

The Renegade is a reinvented compact SUV. Read up its review before peeking into car finance deals.<br />
<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The Jeep is a symbol of an off-road vehicle just like the Renegade. With its high ground clearance and water-fording capabilities, you are obviously getting a rugged vehicle. The Renegade is awarded a 5-stars ANCAP rating with 6 airbags and software that prevents the car from rolling. Its huge tyres cushion potholes reducing accidents risks.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The Renegade is smaller so steering at corners is a breeze with its grip handling. Quick steering and lusty diesel engine can do so much for that off-road adventure. One drawback is its box shape which hinders visibility and encourages wind noise but its grip tyres compensate all that.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
Overall space is poor in both the cabin and boot but seats can be folded to suit your needs. The revamped furnishings and rev-counter graphics are in for a change.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The Renegade is an obvious off-road prowess but it is noisy and might require additional funds for plush fittings. The Smarter finance company can help you with that.<br />
<br />

Financing a car would be a lot simpler with prior reviews, so check the i30 out.<br />
<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The i30 is a good bargain for a family hatchback with pretty impressive running costs with a diesel engine that can reach 78mpg that could slate up to 126bhp. The i30 comes with technological advances like Bluetooth and LED day lights and safety features like 6 airbags and anti-lock braking system. Those are some features qualifying it for a 5-star ANCAP rating.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The suspension is decent for a family hatchback so driving over humps is not a problem as well as cutting corners with the FlexSteer system.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The interior feels more upmarket with well-spaced out dashboard buttons and abundant storage spaces. Seats are comfortable with plenty of room for everyone, including a generous boot. The i30 is smaller but it can expand from 378 litres to an entire 1316 litres with the help of foldable seats.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
Its petrol engine isn’t the most efficient but the inexpensive cash upfront compensates that fact. Talk to a finance company on this great deal.<br />
<br />

The Commodore is the brand’s last homegrown vehicle so it has all the advances possible. It starts with an impressive exterior followed by a torque that goes from 0 to 100km/h in under 5 seconds. The V8 engine can be realized with the bi-modal exhaust that lets you experience both sound and feel.<br />
<br />
The Commodore handles bumpy roads well with a stabilizer bar at the back with springs to absorb much more movement for a stable drive. Corners are also managed just as well with its rear-wheel drive. To complement the V8 engine, we recommend the Brembo brake upgrade.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The Commodore is marketed as a five-seater but we recommend only 4 to stay comfortable due to the room required in the middle for the rear-wheel drive transmission tunnel. The boot space is generous and luxurious with leather and suede.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
There isn’t much to dislike about the Commodore which is a real bargain since it is home-grown. The Smarter Finance Company can help you with the finances so call us today.<br />

Read on before finalizing your car finance figures.</i><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Car</b><br />
We really love the Odyssey minivan that is perfect for families by providing performance without sacrificing design. There are many technological advances such as an infotainment system and HDMI input which further support family needs.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The Odyssey has a decent engine that provides power regardless of its bulkiness. Parking is nevertheless an issue due but the reverse camera and the automatic parking system will come in handy. It also takes on corners well with a responsive handling.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The Odyssey is made to provide 8 people with comfort over aesthetics with its dual sliding doors and movable seats. The third row can be folded to make room for other purposes but with added help as the seats are quite heavy. The driver gets to enjoy the drive too with dials at the center stack and a second display for gadgets.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The Odyssey is an all-rounder family car so it is no surprise that people are asking to finance it as well as to insure it.<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The Q3 is a revamped mini SUV that fits nicely above the A3 as a sporty hatchback. It comes equipped with a start/stop technology, and parking assistance sensors and cameras. You can expect a top-notch driving experience with the Q3 that comes with a 5-star ANCAP rating.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
As the Q3 is a 5-door 5-seater car, you can expect the typical plush seats with an added nice and high seating position. The steering wheel has an odd position, especially the switches behind the gear stick. Nevertheless, the rear cabin has abundant room and not forgetting a decent 460 litres capacity boot.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The Q3 offers a 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive feature and a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic transmission, but unfortunately it still lacks the expected torque of an SUV. Hence, it felt more like a hatchback.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The Ranger has recently gotten new features upgrades like lane departure warning and cruise control with gap assistance. The Ranger comes with Regular, Double, or Super Cab versions so you can opt for the required size. It focuses more on heavy-duty work, so it is perfect as a commercial vehicle.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
As a utility vehicle, you can expect stable handling but obviously agility is compromised. There are technologies to aide your daily commute regardless of which terrain so parking or steep slopes are not an issue.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
The Ranger is more of a workhorse so you can expect a sturdy exterior. Space is abundant all around when it comes to either squeezing 5 adults comfortably or that laptop inside the glove compartment.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The Ranger is fantastic for everything heavy-duty looking at its size and power which means it can be a little difficult to park.<br />

<br />
<b>The Car</b><br />
The BMW 2011 model replaces the 2004 model with a sportier look. It has a 5-star ANCAP rating due to its features like 7 airbags and climate controls.<br />
<br />
<b>The Drive</b><br />
The BMW 1 series is the only hatchback with rear-wheel drive so you can expect a steady drive. Looking at its size, it generally gets tricky while parking and a little twitchy at high speeds.<br />
<br />
<b>The Interior</b><br />
Rear-wheel drive often compromises the rear space and the center seat is raised making it quite uncomfortable to sit on. As for the rear window, it is relatively small so parking would be tricky due to poor visibility and bad natural lighting. The boot caps at a generous 360 litres complementing generous storage areas throughout the car.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The 1 series is a pretty good catch for a hatchback from a trusted brand, ensuring you with a guaranteed resale value. Talk to us today to discuss the necessary finances.<br />

Read on!
<br />
<br />
Identification and Income - Your identity, contacts, income and other information are all being verified and cross checked. They will search through central databases to make sure you don’t have a criminal or bad driving record. Most of this information will be used later for more detailed checks.
<br />
<br />
Risk Assessment and Ability to make Repayment - The bank will make sure that you have a good history of credit and will be able to make payments in a timely basis based on track record and your details above.
<br />
<br />
Current Market Rates - The financiers will look at how much to charge you on top of the amount they are going to loan you based on current market situations.
<br />
<br />
A broker or financing consultant can make the whole application and approval process that much simpler. So why not contact The Smarter Finance Company for a bit of professional help today?

a right tier of car that offers as close to what you want without too many
pricy add-ons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
