CarsGuide Car Of The Year 2011 The New Kia Rio

The Kia Rio has been named the CarsGuide Car Of The Year 2011. The Rio scores it’s success off the back of impressive design and packaging, tweaking by an Australian suspension expert, topped by smart pricing starting from $16,290.

At the end of two intensive and tiring days of back-to-back running, the Rio did best when measured against the COTY judging criteria of value, design, technology and safety.

“It’s a nice, light, easy car to drive. It’s got a feisty engine and some nice little touches like the hill-start system and an upshift indicator light,” says chief judge, Ged Bulmer.

Another Great Sushi Bar In The Heart Of The City - Rundle Mall

Another great Japanese restaurant / sushi bar in the heart of the city (Rundle Mall). They have a Sushi Train style set-up but unlike the Sushi Train this place is usually a lot more quiet so you don’t have to worry about lining up to get in and to get a seat. I had the Combination sashimi 10 pieces for $11 and Nagasaki champong ramen for $9. The staff are nice although they could be better trained – like for instance when asking you for your order and also making sure that they ask if you want a drink as well or explaining to you the specials etc. They don’t do that so you have to make a bit more of an effort to know what you want and to be assertive. The food is great and I love that it is located in the heart of Rundle Mall which means that you can make a day of it and do some shopping as well. The only thing missing is a bubble tea machine, that would make it perfect!

Perfect Little Japanese Restaurant South Of Adelaide

I found this place only very recently even though I work just a few minutes away and it’s fast become my favourite place to visit for lunch. By the way I’m slightly biased since I love Japanese food... So anyways, I ordered the Sashimi small pack 9 pieces combination raw fish with Miso Soup ($12.00) and the Miso Ramen Japanese egg noodle in soy bean broth with vegetables and roast pork ($9.50). It was just perfect, I loved it so much, nice and fresh with just the right amount of flavour, not too spicy and not too bland. If you love Japanese food and live in the south then you should check out the Maru Japanese and Korean Restaurant. Even if you don’t like Japanese / Korean food, if you check it out you might be pleasantly surprised. The only down side is that the place is quite small, maybe it’s because Japanese people are small people but when I’m standing at the counter ordering my food and the person sitting at the table next to me decides to get up I have to move out of the way so that they can get out of their seat. Otherwise everything else is just great!

EzyReg Mobile Application – The Easy Way To Register Your Light Vehicle

Car Care Tips And Tricks

As you may be aware, registration labels are no longer issued or required for South Australian light vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, trailers, boat trailers, horse floats and caravans.

This means that you no longer need to display a registration label, regardless of whether the vehicle is used in regional or metropolitan areas.

However, heavy vehicles weighing more than 4.5 tonnes still need to display a registration label.
