Read on about the Porsche Cayenne before financing one of your own!
The Car
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.
The diesel model doesn’t come with autonomous braking or keyless start and steering is manual. Anything more would require expensive upgrades.
The Drive
Corners are a little shaky with the all-wheel drive but the suspension allows you to manage the car well.
Off-road adventures are perfect but the city might seem off your course because the size makes tight turns difficult.
The Interior
You’ll get cushy seats in the front with door pockets and plenty of space in the rear for passengers.
The boot is just as spacious, with a 40/20/40 rear folding seat totaling up to 1780 litres.
The only downside is the immense number of buttons which are there just to confuse you.
Overall
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.

Reviewing the Nissan Juke
Find out more about the Nissan Juke with The Smarter Finance Company’s easy car review.
The Car
The Nissan Juke is a crowd favourite which looks good with high wheel arches and an aerodynamic edge.
It comes with a 1.6-liter turbo with intermediate lock of the CVVT system and a fitted low-pressure EGR system.
The Drive
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.
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.
Overall, the ride is comfortable though the suspension struggles to iron out potholes producing noise from the aftershocks of hitting one.
The Interior
The interior is colourful with highlights especially on the main console but the material quality is low with thin and hollow plastic.
The backseat is a bit cramp especially for tall people but it can folded to give a bit more cargo space.
Overall
The Juke is a fun and agile car but not as spacious for those bulky items.

Reviewing the Ford Everest
Find out about the Ford Everest before peeking at financing rates.
The Car
The Everest classes like a utility truck with more capacity for cargo and passengers and a shorter body length and wheel base.
The Everest comes with a standard kit along with other technologies like active noise cancellation and cruise control on top of regular safety advances.
Some technologies are missing like climate control and auto parking which can be upgraded for a price.
The Drive
The Ford Everest is smoother with a good balance of suspension dampers to help manage bumps and turns.
The vehicle can pull its weight with a maximum torque 1750rpm. The electric steering is a good addition and parking is easy.
The Interior
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.
The seats are upholstered and supportive for all rows with lots of storage places for everyone.
Overall
You won’t have to complain about space and power for both on and off road experiences for a price.

Reviewing the Volkswagen Golf
Read the review on the Volkswagen Golf to have a real life opinion to decide on a car financing option.
The Car
The Volkswagen Golf is yet another old-timer on the market with exceptional value retention.
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.
The Drive
We love how the Golf handles steering and stability at turns. There is also little noise even on highways.
The downside is the hefty additional sum needed for more power and 4-wheel drive.
The Interior
The driver’s seat is comfortable and adjustable for a good vision but the quarterlight windows are distracting.
You get a 6.8-inch colour touch screen and Bluetooth phone connectivity with well-positioned dials on the dash.
It is comfy for every passenger and the boot has 280-litres of cargo space or 1,270 litres with the rear seats folded.
Overall
The only concern is its hefty pricetag but it is worthy looking at the retention of its resale value.

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

Reviewing the Ford Ranger
If you are on a hunt, read our opinion on the Ford Ranger before peeking into car finance deals.
The Car
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.
The Drive
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.
The Interior
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.
Overall
The Ranger is fantastic for everything heavy-duty looking at its size and power which means it can be a little difficult to park.
