Le 6 regole auree per un corretto acquisto di una vettura usata

<<Scopo del mio brand new blog stefanorossiautomotiveinternational.blogspot.com è mostrare, settimana dopo settimana ed offerte commerciali alla mano, il value for money incarnato dal mercato delle auto di seconda mano. Personalmente ho sempre creduto nell'usato: esso – purché si osservino le 6 regole che ho elaborato - può riservare gradevoli sorprese. E dico ciò a ragion veduta: nel 2011, quando lavoravo presso la SCA (Mercedes), ho venduto a mia sorella una BMW 116d del 2010 con 25.000 km. Quest’auto è tuttora in possesso di mia sorella ed ha raggiunto la ragguardevole soglia dei 300.000 km in ottime condizioni generali – come io stesso ho avuto modo di verificare in un percorso di 1.200 km. Gradevoli sorprese, per l’appunto. Appassionato d’auto sin da quando ero bambino, come venditore ho trattato sia M1 nuove ed usate di svariati Marchi, sia N1 Opel e Fiat Professional. Ora, da ex venditore, ho deciso di aprire questo blog per curiosare nel settore che più mi ha appassionato dal punto di vista professionale – ovvero il mercato delle auto di seconda mano. E trovo perciò di grande utilità riportare qui a seguire quelle che ritengo essere le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di un’auto usata. (1) Optare per un prodotto di qualità: ovvero, scegliere un modello appartenente a Marchi dall’elevato indice di affidabilità, in grado di macinare centinaia di migliaia di chilometri senza creare grossi problemi; beninteso, l’auto perfetta, l’auto che non si rompe mai, non esiste – però esistono Marchi che producono vetture dall’elevata qualità costruttiva. Per prodotto di qualità intendo per l’appunto una vettura appartenente a quella tipologia di Marchi. (2) Acquistare con cognizione di causa e non alla cieca: ovvero, optare per Concessionari in grado di effettuare la certificazione del chilometraggio, mostrare lo storico tagliandi e dare la garanzia. (3) Manutentare regolarmente l’usato acquistato: ovvero, effettuare i tagliandi previsti dal Costruttore alle scadenze previste. (4) Utilizzare con la dovuta cura: anche le migliori auto, se bistrattate da guidatori maldestri, nel lungo periodo creano problemi. (5) Effettuare, prima dell’acquisto, una mappatura delle proprie, reali, esigenze di mobilità: vivo in una metropoli come Milano e Roma, in una città di media grandezza, o in provincia? Quanti chilometri percorro in un anno? E quanti di questi in città, su percorsi extraurbani ed in autostrada? Ho una sola auto a disposizione o due? Bisogna rispondere a siffatte domande per poter poi procedere con la scelta della giusta motorizzazione: benzina, diesel, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in o elettrica? (6) Stabilire, prima dell’acquisto, a quale categoria di potenziale cliente dell’usato si appartiene: quella del “compro, tengo due o tre anni e poi rivendo?” o quella del “compro, tengo il più a lungo possibile e poi rottamo?”. I relativi parametri d’acquisto – come, ad esempio, data di prima immatricolazione e Marca – sono infatti molto diversi. Supponiamo che io abbia a disposizione 28.000,00 euro e che presso il mio Concessionario di fiducia trovi, a quella cifra, tanto (i) una VW Golf ottava serie 2.0 tdi 150cv Style Dsg del 2021 con 50.000 km quanto (ii) una Skoda Superb Wagon Scout terza serie (o serie uscente) 2.0 tdi 184cv 4X4 Dsg del 2019 con 85.000 km. Se io appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni il più a lungo possibile e poi rottama” – allora posso benissimo prendermi il lusso di valutare le due ottime alternative e magari alla fine decidere per una più spaziosa, confortevole e lussuosa Skoda. Ma se io al contrario appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni due o tre anni al massimo e poi rivendi” – allora è molto meglio optare per la Golf ottava serie: i relativi parametri (ovvero, tipologia di modello dall’elevato indice di rivendibilità, motorizzazione, cambio, allestimento, data di prima immatricolazione e chilometraggio) rendono infatti quella vettura perfetta per un acquisto con la prospettiva della rivendita dopo due o tre anni>> Stefano Rossi – Blog’s Author.

Kam's 2000 Honda Civic - The "Un-shitbox" Era

From the time I was knee-high to a grasshopper, my fascination with cars was already in full gear. Picture a fourth-grader, wide-eyed and excited, collecting Hot Wheels like they were precious gems. But, my true automotive odyssey began when the school bell rang, and I would race to my friend's house to play Gran Turismo 4 and Midnight Club: Los Angeles on the PlayStation 2. 

As the pixels danced on the screen, I found myself captivated by watching the race replays and attempting to capture the "perfect" photo – the kind that you’d find in the glossy pages of car magazines. And so, my journey into the realm of automotive photography ignited.

Around that time, my older brothers were like modern-day mechanics, forever bringing home various models of Toyotas: an '80s MR2, a trio of Z20 Soarers, and a rare Toyota Aerocabin; our driveway resembled a makeshift garage. My adventure into car ownership was marked by an AE92 Corolla, but my teenage stubbornness veered me toward a 2006 Ford Focus hatch, courtesy of an aversion to the Corolla's short shifter gearbox. Hindsight whispers that I should've stuck with the Corolla, yet the die was cast, and the Ford Focus introduced me to the world of compact cars, eventually paving the way for my 2000 Honda Civic.

I got the Civic in November 2021 during a tough time in my life. It was bone-stock, except for a few upgrades from the previous owner, like an Integra DC5 steering wheel and a set of GSR Blades. At first, I had big plans. I wanted to wrap it in baby blue, get smoked headlights and taillights, a Type R Wing, and Enkei RPF1s. The definition of being a really immature car enthusiast, more interested in making it look cool rather than making it drive better; then again. what else would you expect from a 21-year-old with limited mechanical knowledge.

My interest in the EK Civic came from a family friend named Simon, aka Joydrive. He made a video series documenting his Racewars build, and later buying the now infamous, yellow "ClichEK." I liked the way these cars were designed and having driven a Ford Focus for most of my time on the road, it made sense to get something similar in size. 

My Civic remained untouched for a while, other than the addition of EK9 cup holders, a concession to my partner's beverage-holding fatigue during gear changes. This was a subtle upgrade but one that would prove hugely appreciated in the future. Life was good. I had my dream car which was in good condition for its age and reasonably priced (something that is hard to find in the post-covid car market), then came the transformative phase. I bought a new front bumper, front lip, and Type R grille, as well as "angel eye" headlights, and rear lip, which is still in my garage waiting to be put on as I write this.

The plot thickened on a fateful commute home from work when I had a run-in with a BMW X5 on the highway. The envisioned “RICE” build took a backseat as smashed headlights and a misaligned engine bay/ bonnet demanded attention. Salvaging replacement parts from the wreckers, I resurrected my Civic, mechanically intact but aesthetically bruised. It was demotivating to spend time and money making it look a certain way, only to have it go back to how it was before. Time passed and it simply existed as just another car, until Simon made a video revealing the upgrades he made to his build. 

Fast forward to today, other than hitting a tow ball at the end of 2023, the car remains the same since I fixed it after the accident. I found my dream wheels on Facebook Marketplace, which was a feel-good moment, and after speaking to a couple of people, the road ahead is clear. Cut and polish, installation of the front and rear lip, coilovers so I can put the RPF1s on, and install the replacement number plates which are on its way. The trajectory now leans towards a clean, OEM plus build; a different path from what I first envisioned. For those who are interested in infrequent Civic updates, I often post progress photos on my car Instagram (@EK1WA), until next time; welcome to the “Un-shitbox” chapter.

In this series of "Extreme Ads Makeover", I will be tearing down ads of Lexus (lexus.com) and have them completely remodeled to have better targeting and ROI. Check out a previous case study of "Extreme Ads Makeover" for Chase Bank. About Lexus (lexus.com) Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota. In 2022, Lexus sold over 500,000 vehicles globally, down 2% from 2021. However, Lexus saw record sales in China of over 230,000 units. Lexus has ranked highest among luxury car brands in dependability and reliability for years. The brand's global revenue reached $53 billion in 2021. Lexus has launched electrified models like the RX hybrid SUV, which make up over 25% of sales. Key models include the ES sedan, RX and NX SUVs, and LC coupe. Lexus represents Toyota's strategy to compete in the global luxury market against the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz. About Lexus's marketing agency Lexus does not have a single dedicated marketing agency. Their marketing is handled by an in-house department within the larger Toyota organization. Some key details about Lexus' marketing: Team One is Lexus' long-standing U.S. advertising agency of record. They have handled Lexus ad campaigns and creative work in the U.S. for over 30 years. Lexus also works with various regional marketing agencies and creative partners around the world. In Europe, they've worked with agencies like AMV BBDO. In China, they partner with agencies like WPP. For digital marketing and social media, Lexus works with smaller specialized agencies like IZEA and retains dedicated staff internally as well. Saatchi & Saatchi was previously Lexus' ad agency until they moved to Team One in the 1990s. Team One was formed by a group of former Saatchi employees specifically to handle the Lexus account. While Toyota handles most marketing in-house, they use partnerships with creative agencies to develop branding, campaigns, and execution in specific markets. But the overall strategic marketing direction for Lexus globally remains within Toyota. About Michael Nguyen - CEO of Produce Results Agency, aka the "Extreme Ads Makeover" Host Since 1999, Produce Results Agency has helped clients double assets from $5ooM to $1B and generated 4000% ROI for a regional bank turning their $66K marketing budget to $2.8M in revenue. In this post, I will perform an ad audit on Nature Made ads, analyze what's missing from the ads, come up with new ads, and eventually validate those new ads by running paid traffic on my own dime to see how new ads perform. I am using Meta Ads in this case study but the same principle applies to other mediums such as Google, Youtube, Programmatic Ads, and short forms. Table of Content 1. Ads Audit 2. Gaps Analysis 3. Ads Makeover 4. Validate New Ads 5. Insights/Takeaways 6. Next Steps Ads Audit Promoted Product: Lexus Service Center Here are some key details about Lexus service centers and their business: Lexus has over 220 service centers in the U.S. These are dedicated facilities that only service Lexus vehicles. Industry average service and parts revenue per dealership is around $5 million annually. With over 200 service centers, Lexus' total service revenue likely exceeds $1 billion per year in the U.S. Profit margins on service are typically higher than vehicle sales. Industry average is 15-20% net profit on service vs 3-5% on new car sales. Lexus owners on average return to the dealer for 2 service appointments per year during a typical 3-4 year ownership period. With around 2 million Lexuses on the road in the U.S., Lexus dealers see 4+ million service appointments annually. Customer service satisfaction is very high for Lexus service centers. Lexus ranked #1 in dealer service satisfaction in multiple JD Power awards. Growth in service revenue is tied to overall vehicle sales growth and the expanding Lexus owner base over time. In the last decade, service business has likely grown steadily for Lexus along with U.S. sales.

So in summary, Lexus service centers see over $1 billion in annual revenue in the U.S. alone and 4+ million customer appointments per year, with strong growth and industry-leading satisfaction ratings. Landing page: https://www.lexus.com/service Facebook Ads: The Lexus team created one ad set to promote. Ad set #1 (see link) Ad set #2 (see link) Ad set #3 (see link) Ad set #4 (see link) Analysis In this installment of "Extreme Ads Makeover", I am going to remodel Lexus Service Center because I don't think it deserves the right attention and care. In other words, all 4 adsets Lexus team created have the same message, "Treat yourself and your Lexus right with Service by Lexus." If Lexus Service Center's mission were to treat customers and their Lexus right, it would start by treating itself right, wouldn't it? If you didn't have the right attention, care, and respect for your brand and your mission, how likely would you dedicate the right attention to your customers? That's the narrative Lexus team certainly doesn't want its customers to foster and even appear on their minds. It all starts with the ad message. First of all, I applaud the Lexus team for creating 4 ad sets with different images and I appreciate their effort. It tells me that the team is professional and knowledgeable about digital ads. At the same time, their effort in 4 ad sets is negated by the lack of creativity in ad messages because all ad sets share the same message!!! While Lexus ranked #1 in dealer service satisfaction in multiple JD Power awards, I expect to see MORE from a world-class team like Lexus because one message across 4 ad sets does a disservice to Lexus's high satisfaction record. Moreover, having only one control ad leads to the following issues: Lack of A/B Testing Limited Insights: With only one ad, you won't be able to perform A/B tests, which are essential for determining what aspects of the ad are working and what aren't. Targeting Limitations Missed Opportunities for Segmentation: Different ad sets can target different customer segments. A single ad may not be as effective across all segments, missing out on some potentially lucrative opportunities. Reduced Personalization: Multiple ad sets allow you to customize messages based on user behavior, geography, or other demographics. A single ad will be less personalized and potentially less effective (more on this below when I do an ad makeover) Creativity and Message Fatigue Ad Fatigue: Over time, the same ad is likely to become less effective as users get tired of seeing it. Multiple ad sets can help mitigate this effect. Limited Creative Testing: Having multiple ads allows for testing different creative elements like headlines, images, and call-to-actions. A single ad limits this flexibility. Risk Management Higher Risk: If your one ad doesn't perform well, you don't have other ad sets to fall back on. This all-or-nothing approach can be riskier. Budget Allocation: With multiple ad sets, you can allocate more budget to higher-performing ads. A single ad does not offer this flexibility. Optimization Challenges Limited Learning: If your single ad isn't performing well, it's harder to pinpoint what exactly is going wrong. Multiple ad sets can provide you with more data, making it easier to optimize. Inability to Leverage Platform Algorithms: Many advertising platforms use machine learning algorithms to automatically allocate budget to the best-performing ads in a campaign. With just one ad, you can't take advantage of this feature. Data and Analytics Limited Data for Analytics: Having only one ad will provide you less data, reducing the reliability and validity of your performance metrics. Attention: If you had multiple product lines and currently ran paid ads, there's a 97% chance that you had less than 3 ads based on my experiences of remodeling ads from Chase Bank, Amazon, Starbucks, Nike, Lexus, Home Depot, and Chanel.

Maybe you are perfectly okay with one control ad and burn your ad budget without ROI. But if you would like to have a second-opinion ads critique so that you can see the gaps and areas where you can extract MORE juice out of your ads, click on the link below to have me critique your ads. Gaps Analysis The Landing Page (see link ) Audience avatar: The ideal Lexus customer values luxury, craftsmanship, and a personalized service experience. They are likely middle to upper-middle class, aged 30 and above, and seek convenience, quality, and exclusivity in their vehicle ownership. They appreciate attentive, expert service and desire a seamless post-purchase experience. Lexus positions itself as a brand that offers more than just a vehicle, emphasizing its commitment to quality, expertise, and treating customers as special guests, ensuring they feel valued and protected throughout their journey. Ads Makeover Here's the disease that most marketing agencies and businesses running paid ads: "They think they've tested 20 ads but they really just tested 2 ads 10 different times." The best analogy for this is if you play the game "Battleship". Battleship is a strategy-type guessing game for two players. It is played on ruled grids (paper or board) on which each player's fleet of warships are marked. The locations of the fleets are concealed from the other players. Players alternate turns calling "shots" at the other player's ships, and the objective of the game is to destroy the opposing player's fleet. Using the context of the Battleship game, the fact that you just tested 2 ads 10 different times is like you are calling "shots" for the same spot 10 different times at the other player's ships. The lack of ideas for ad angles is making your ads dull and boring and ultimately leads to ad fatigue. Here are new ads makeover ideas: Headline Options "Craftsmanship Meets Luxury: Experience the Lexus Difference." "More Than a Car: A Journey of Exclusivity with Lexus." "Elevate Your Drive: Discover the Lexus Gold Standard." "Where Expertise Meets Elegance: Dive into the Lexus Experience." "Lexus: Where Every Drive Feels Like a Red Carpet Ride."

Validate New Ads This is where the rubber meets the road as I am going to validate ad concepts from the previous step by running paid traffic to see which ad concepts would resonate most with the customers. Here's how I set the adset on Facebook Budget: $10 Lifetime Product/Service: Magnesium Gummy Targeted audience: Target with interest in Nature Made (who else is better than prospects already interested in Nature Made?) Placement: News Feed Optimization: Optimized for Traffic Here are all the 9 ads being launched. Fast-forwarding 24 hours to let the ads run. Here's the results Campaign Numbers: Ad budget: $14.50 Total Impressions: 3,284 Total Reach: 2,615 Total Clicks: 25 Cost Per Click (CPC): $0.47 CTR (all): 0.94% Ad results Summary Reach and Impressions: 'Headline 3' has the highest reach and impressions compared to all the other headlines. 'Headline 6' has the lowest reach and impressions. Frequency: 'Headline 3' has the highest frequency at 1.34, suggesting that, on average, a user saw the ad 1.34 times. 'Headline 1' has the lowest frequency at 1.03, which indicates almost all reached users saw the ad only once. Results (Link Clicks): 'Headline 8' performed the best in terms of link clicks, with 11 clicks. Several headlines ('Headline 4', 'Headline 5', 'Headline 9') have no link click data provided. Cost Efficiency: 'Headline 6' has the lowest cost per result (CPR) at $0.21 and also the lowest amount spent. This suggests it's the most cost-effective in terms of cost-per-click. 'Headline 2' has the highest CPR at $1.09, suggesting it's the least cost-effective ad for generating link clicks. CPM (Cost per 1,000 Impressions): 'Headline 3' offers the best value in terms of CPM at $1.32, suggesting that it's the cheapest to reach 1,000 people. 'Headline 5' has the highest CPM at $4.56, indicating it's the most expensive per 1,000 views. CTR (Link Click-Through Rate): 'Headline 8' has the highest CTR at 3.48%, suggesting that out of all the ads, users are most likely to click on 'Headline 8' after seeing it. 'Headline 3' has the lowest CTR at 0.23%, suggesting it's the least enticing, even though it had the most reach and impressions. CPC (Cost per Link Click): 'Headline 6' and 'Headline 8' share the lowest CPC at $0.21, which means they are the most cost-effective in terms of getting users to click the ad. 'Headline 2' has the highest CPC at $1.09, making it the least cost-effective.

Headline: "Elevate Your Drive: Discover the Lexus Gold Standard." Ad body: "Lexus isn't just about cars; it's about a promise of unmatched luxury and service. Our technicians? Think of them as craftsmen who cherish your vehicle as their masterpiece. And with benefits like 24-hour Roadside Assistance, we ensure you're always in safe hands.

Models Applied: Relationships (Your customer, The advertiser), Imagery (Visual, Kinesthetic), Emotions (Feelings: joy, anticipation), Types of Statements (Statement), Time (Present), Capability (Does, Is), Levels of Identity (Beliefs, Behavior), Proof (Credibility: Powerful demonstration), Numbers (Periods of time), Language Devices (Simile). Total Impressions: 1330 (40% of the campaign's total impressions) Total Reach: 991 (accounts for 38% of the campaign's total reach) Clicks: 3 CPC: $0.59 If the objective is to get the most clicks at the lowest cost, 'Headline 8' stands out. Headline: "Settling for Less? That's a Tragic Tale." Ad Body: "Ever felt that sting of defeat when your car lets you down? It's a gut punch, right? Don't be that guy green with envy, watching Lexus owners cruise by. Stand defiant against mediocre rides and say no to the tragedy of average. A heads up though: once you're with Lexus, everything else feels like a downgrade. Choose wisely." Models Applied: Emotions (Feelings: anger, envy, defiance, disgust), Types of Statements (Condition), Future (Warning), Language Devices (Slang, Tragedy), Shame (Defeat). Total Impressions: 317 Total Reach: 287 Clicks: 11 CPC: $0.21 (64% cheaper) Takeaways/Insights So in this thorough case study, I extensively analyze, examine, and audit Lexus Service Center's ads, then come up with new ad ideas based on 17 analysis "lenses", and finally validate ad ideas by running them through paid FB traffic to determine the winning ad. "Feature/Benefit" ads like ad with headline #3 gets the most eyeballs (40% impressions of the entire campaign) but register 72% fewer clicks than ad #8 featuring more complex emotions like fear, defeat, anger, and envy. Having only one control ad can seriously underperform your entire campaign because of the lack of A/B Testing, targeting limitations, ad fatigue, risk management, and optimization challenges. Having multiple analysis "lenses" is the foundation to come up with ad ideas addressing customers' needs, wants, objections, pains, and frustrations. Without additional analysis "lenses", you are more likely to get more "lookie-lookie" but less hand/thumb action. I'd recommend the Lexus team create more ad angles for each of their products. The path of "Extreme Ads Makeover" doesn't stop and should be continuously evolving with the market. What-If Revenue Impact Analysis What If Lexus went ahead and doubled down on ad #8 with the lowest CPC,  what would be the revenue impact? Let's make some assumptions: The conversion rate is 1% (given the normal conversion rate of 2%) The average annual maintenance cost for a Lexus is around $551. The service and parts department accounts for 44% of the dealership's gross profits. Double down on ad #8 by increasing the number of clicks to 10,000 clicks (Cost = 10,000 clicks x $0.21 = $2,100) Let's calculate the potential revenues At 0.1% conversion rate, 10,000 x 0.1% = 10 merchants signed up Revenue = 10 x $551 = $5510 ROI = 162%  ($5510- $2,100) / $2,100) At 1% conversion rate (the industry standard is 2%), 10,000 x 1% = 100 buyers scheduled for maintenance at the shop.

Revenue = 100 x $551 = $55,100 ROI = 2,500%  ($55,100- $2,100) / $2,100) At 2% conversion rate, 10,000 x 2% = 200 merchants signed up Revenue = 200 x $551 = $110,200 ROI = 5,148%  ($110,200 - $2,100) / $2,100) Next Step Depending on your objectives, double down on the winning ads (ad #3 and #8) and amp up the budget on it because I've done the homework for you, all you need is to increase the ad budget. I share with you the 17 proprietary models I used to create ad ideas.

PIRELLI VS CONTINENTAL TYRES COMPARISON

The latest article in our series of tire comparison blogs is Pirelli vs. Continental. Like before, we will discuss the passenger tires first and then shift our focus to the SUV tires. Let’s see which tires we have lined up for our readers today.

P ZERO VS CONTISPORTCONTACT 5

You might recall that we have discussed the Pirelli P Zero in one of our earlier articles. If you can���t recall it, there is no cause for worry. Let’s do a brief overview of the P Zero. But first, you need to know a little about Pirelli. It is one of the most widely recognizable tire brands in the world. You can see its name and logo on the most famous motorsport events worldwide. The brand is well-known for sponsoring events like the Spanish and Hungarian Grand Prix. It is also set to become the sole tire supplier for the World Rally Championship in 2021. In simple words, Pirelli is strongly associated with major motorsports events. As a result, the company has developed strong skills & vast knowledge in this field.

PIRELLI P ZERO VS CONTINENTAL CONTISPORTCONTACT 5 Pirelli P Zero is a result of these skills & knowledge. The tire is an ultra-high-performance tire that is designed for use on high-powered sports vehicles. Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and McLaren are a few names that use the P Zero as an original equipment tire for their vehicles. If this doesn’t give you an idea about the P Zero’s performance, nothing else can.

In most cases, such tires are quite noisy. After all, they are designed for high-powered beasts, making a roaring sound whenever the accelerator is pressed down. But that’s not the case with the P Zero due to The PIRELLI NOISE CANCELLING SYSTEM

(PNCS). The PNCS can reduce the noise with the help of a sound absorption device installed inside the tire. As a result, noise is reduced by 50%. The tire is available in different sizes.

The ContiSportContact 5 is an equally marvelous product designed by Pirelli’s most formidable rival – Continental. Like the P Zero, it is also an ultra-high-performance tire designed for high-powered sports vehicles and luxury coupes. Various top automobile manufacturers have selected it as their original equipment tire for different models. What makes the ContiSportContact 5 a direct rival to the Pirelli P Zero is the technology.

The tire comes with ContiSeal

. For many of our readers, it is a new technology. Therefore, it needs a little explanation. In case of a puncture, the air starts to evacuate, causing a tire to deflate. However, in this case, the tire does not deflate as the puncture is automatically sealed. ContiSeal

is a sticky, viscous sealant layer that seals 80% of all punctures. Therefore, drivers can continue driving without the need to replace the tire or fix the puncture.

That’s not all. Specific sizes of the Conti also come with the SSR technology. It means that the tires can continue to support the vehicle’s weight even after complete loss of air pressure. The SSR stands for a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. Hence, there is no longer a need for a spare tire to slow down a vehicle due to their weight and increase fuel consumption. While P Zero comes with PNCS, the Conti is equipped with ContiSilent

. Although the technology varies, the purpose remains the same – noise reduction.

Winner?

There is no clear winner here. Both tires are perfect for sporty vehicles. They are built to enhance the performance of sports vehicles while offering a safe and comfortable driving experience.

P ZERO VS. 4×4 CONTACT

The P Zero has been discussed above. A larger P Zero can be equipped on SUVs and 4×4. There’s no compromise on performance or any of the features. The 4×4 Contact is ideal for large SUVs. The tires are built for driving on roads and extreme off-road surfaces like mountains. In other words, there’s no need to keep two separate tire sets anymore. It is indeed a big relief for SUV owners who like the occasional off-road driving challenge. Various BMW and Mercedes-Benz models use the 4×4 Contact as an original equipment tire.

PIRELLI P ZERO VS CONTINENTAL 4×4 CONTACT Typically, such tires often compromise on wet surface traction to improve rigidity on rough surfaces. That’s certainly not the case here. These tyres offer consistent traction on wet and dry surfaces. The risk of hydroplaning is non-existent as the tread is designed for quick dispersion of water. With the 4×4 Contact, there is zero chances of losing traction in wet conditions.

Winner?

Again, there is no clear winner here. Both tires are perfect for SUVs and 4×4 vehicles. The reason behind our decision not to select any winner lies in the two brands. Pirelli and Continental rely on cutting-edge technology and extensive research to develop their products. As a result, they are more or less equal.

2021 BMW 4 Series Engine

Using the urge of that particular velocity provided with the straightforward flex of any ankle joint, one particular may well anticipate fuel economy for taking favourite. However, the 440i nailed it is 25-miles per gallon EPA merged physique while in our tests (EPA city/freeway quotes happen to be 21/32 miles per gallon). And then in regards to the home suspensions is forecasted to become comfy revocation, but it can be nonetheless fitness.

Le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di una vettura usata

<<Scopo del mio brand new blog stefanorossiautomotiveinternational.blogspot.com è mostrare, settimana dopo settimana ed offerte commerciali alla mano, il value for money incarnato dal mercato delle auto di seconda mano. Personalmente ho sempre creduto nell'usato: esso – purché si osservino le 6 regole che ho elaborato - può riservare gradevoli sorprese. E dico ciò a ragion veduta: nel 2011, quando lavoravo presso la SCA (Mercedes), ho venduto a mia sorella una BMW 116d del 2010 con 25.000 km. Quest’auto è tuttora in possesso di mia sorella ed ha raggiunto la ragguardevole soglia dei 300.000 km in ottime condizioni generali – come io stesso ho avuto modo di verificare in un percorso di 1.200 km. Gradevoli sorprese, per l’appunto. Appassionato d’auto sin da quando ero bambino, come venditore ho trattato sia M1 nuove ed usate di svariati Marchi, sia N1 Opel e Fiat Professional. Ora, da ex venditore, ho deciso di aprire questo blog per curiosare nel settore che più mi ha appassionato dal punto di vista professionale – ovvero il mercato delle auto di seconda mano. E trovo perciò di grande utilità riportare qui a seguire quelle che ritengo essere le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di un’auto usata. (1) Optare per un prodotto di qualità: ovvero, scegliere un modello appartenente a Marchi dall’elevato indice di affidabilità, in grado di macinare centinaia di migliaia di chilometri senza creare grossi problemi; beninteso, l’auto perfetta, l’auto che non si rompe mai, non esiste – però esistono Marchi che producono vetture dall’elevata qualità costruttiva. Per prodotto di qualità intendo per l’appunto una vettura appartenente a quella tipologia di Marchi. (2) Acquistare con cognizione di causa e non alla cieca: ovvero, optare per Concessionari in grado di effettuare la certificazione del chilometraggio, mostrare lo storico tagliandi e dare la garanzia. (3) Manutentare regolarmente l’usato acquistato: ovvero, effettuare i tagliandi previsti dal Costruttore alle scadenze previste. (4) Utilizzare con la dovuta cura: anche le migliori auto, se bistrattate da guidatori maldestri, nel lungo periodo creano problemi. (5) Effettuare, prima dell’acquisto, una mappatura delle proprie, reali, esigenze di mobilità: vivo in una metropoli come Milano e Roma, in una città di media grandezza, o in provincia? Quanti chilometri percorro in un anno? E quanti di questi in città, su percorsi extraurbani ed in autostrada? Ho una sola auto a disposizione o due? Bisogna rispondere a siffatte domande per poter poi procedere con la scelta della giusta motorizzazione: benzina, diesel, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in o elettrica? (6) Stabilire, prima dell’acquisto, a quale categoria di potenziale cliente dell’usato si appartiene: quella del “compro, tengo due o tre anni e poi rivendo?” o quella del “compro, tengo il più a lungo possibile e poi rottamo?”. I relativi parametri d’acquisto – come, ad esempio, data di prima immatricolazione e Marca – sono infatti molto diversi. Supponiamo che io abbia a disposizione 28.000,00 euro e che presso il mio Concessionario di fiducia trovi, a quella cifra, tanto (i) una VW Golf ottava serie 2.0 tdi 150cv Style Dsg del 2021 con 50.000 km quanto (ii) una Skoda Superb Wagon Scout terza serie (o serie uscente) 2.0 tdi 184cv 4X4 Dsg del 2019 con 85.000 km. Se io appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni il più a lungo possibile e poi rottama” – allora posso benissimo prendermi il lusso di valutare le due ottime alternative e magari alla fine decidere per una più spaziosa, confortevole e lussuosa Skoda. Ma se io al contrario appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni due o tre anni al massimo e poi rivendi” – allora è molto meglio optare per la Golf ottava serie: i relativi parametri (ovvero, tipologia di modello dall’elevato indice di rivendibilità, motorizzazione, cambio, allestimento, data di prima immatricolazione e chilometraggio) rendono infatti quella vettura perfetta per un acquisto con la prospettiva della rivendita dopo due o tre anni>> Stefano Rossi – Blog’s Author.

The ten most popular used car purchases in 2021

According to SMMT data, these vehicles changed ownership more than the majority last year. Have you purchased any?

1 - Ford Fiesta

Transactions - 326,436

The Fiesta may have lost its position atop the new vehicle sales charts in 2021, but it still ruled the used car market. The statistics from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) does not distinguish between generations, although we're not sure how many Mk1s are currently being sold many business listings.

2 - Vauxhall Corsa

Transactions - 262,448

Yes, in 2021, the UK's favourite new automobile was also our second-favourite used car. That's a lot of individuals interested in buying second-hand Corsas.

3 - Ford Focus

Transactions - 251,265

Isn't it interesting that the classic hatchback continues to dominate the used vehicle market? Last year, almost a quarter of a million Britons purchased a used Focus business listing.

4 - Volkswagen Golf

Transactions - 247,919

The Golf has been there in various versions since 1974, so it's no wonder that it's at the top of the list. We are curious how many of these were Mk7.5 Golf RS that had been previously financed.

5 - Vauxhall Astra

Transactions - 200,911

After the Fiesta and Focus, the Astra is now available to go with the Corsa. Vauxhalls are still popular in the United Kingdom. We say reinstate the Monaro VXR free listing.

6 - BMW 3 Series

Transactions - 175,190

The 3 Series, the only saloon to make the Top 10, maintains its appeal on our lands.

7 - Mini Hatch

Transactions - 167,828

The BMW-era Mini continues to sell well, with over 167,000 units sold in 2021. Anyone want to take a guess at how many were Mini Electrics?

8 - Volkswagen Polo

Transactions - 147,372

In 2021, about 150,000 VW polos were sold as used vehicles, with 145,000 of those purchased by persons who had recently passed their driving test.

*This is categorically not true.

9 - Audi A3

Transactions - 122,856

When it comes to used cars, forget about the Q2, Q3, Q5, and Q987; Brits still prefer Audi's spruced-up VW Golf.

10 - BMW 1 Series

Transactions - 122,840

The BMW 1 Series also makes the list, proving that individuals adore hatchbacks in our country. Let's hope manufacturers pay attention...

Formula E Season Review 2021

The 7th season of the all-electric series was one where no team really dominated, as the qualifying draws consistently mixed up the expected order on the grid. Instead, it was about maximising the opportunities you were given, as well as having some luck on your side, although I do think the best team and driver won.

It only took 2 years for Mercedes to become double champions, in probably the best car on the grid, but given their strength in world motorsport right now, I can’t understand why it took them so long! Their power unit looked to be the most efficient out there, with races like Valencia showing this off. The driver line up was also of the highest quality, with 2 F2 champions, who shone at various points in the season. Their weakness came seemingly from getting the car set up at certain tracks, which may have been down to a lack of experience. Weekends like New York were disasters for them, and there seemed to be no clear cause of the issues. Other teams may be glad then, that they aren’t sticking around for the long term, as when Mercedes gets its act together, we could have seen them dominate another world championship! As I mentioned, De Vries was a worthy champion, showing raw speed at many points in the year, meanwhile Vandoorne could so easily have been in the same position, if luck had been more on his side.

Another year, another missed opportunity for Jaguar! Last year, Evans came into Berlin right with Da Costa in the title mix, but they couldn’t get the car to work on the concrete slabs at Tempelhof. This time, they had the pace, and Evans had the track position to possibly take the title in the last race, until an error on the car lost them everything! This will be tough for Mitch and the team to come back from, however, they can take solace from improvements year on year by the team, so next year could be the one! Also, if we are being honest, some of the mistakes made by the team and Evans before that final race, would have made it feel not quite right if they had won. Bird if anything was the more deserving champion of the two, he just was blighted with poor fortune, as he DNF’d from 3 straight races, which mostly weren’t his fault.

DS Techeetah might be the most confusing team this year, as we saw they had pace on multiple occasions this year, without them being able to follow through and get the points. For a team looking for their 4th title in a row, this is rather unexpected. It may have been that they relaxed too much, after their recent success, although I doubt that very much. As for the drivers, both had their moments during the season, but neither had a string of results which resembled a championship challenge. You can be sure that for next year they will be back, pushing harder than ever, going for another title!

On bowing out of the sport, Audi cannot be disappointed with how things ended, it may not have been the title they would have hoped for, yet 2 wins and 4th in the constructors in this competitive a series, can still be considered a high note to end on. The car for the most part looked to be solid but not spectacular, with race pace being their real forte, as proved by so many fastest laps. Both Rast and Di Grassi were brilliant, but in very different ways, Rast was probably the most consistent driver of the whole season, other than Frijns. Whereas Di Grassi got the team the wins they wanted so much, including at home in Berlin. In their tenure in Formula E, Audi has been one of the big names in the sport, with so many wins, controversial moments, and some titles!

Envision Virgin Racing plateaued this year it seems, I get the feeling that just like Audi, whose powertrain they have, their car wasn’t incredible, yet with good set ups, they were able to get a lot of podiums out of it. This kept Robin at the front of the championship for so long, as he racked up points almost every race weekend. Cassidy improved throughout the year, and by the end was looking like a promising driver for the future of the sport. He may still rue that Lap 1 error at Rome though! Otherwise, it is hard to see where the team will be going forwards, with so many other strong outfits out there!

In a similar vain to Audi, BMW can be pleased with their efforts across the season! I thought they may have already switched off pre-season, and just coast their way through 2021, but that was certainly not the case. 3 wins and being so close to winning the title shows how hard they worked. The peculiar thing about them, is that only one driver would be fast in a certain race, and it wouldn’t carry over both races of a weekend. I have no idea why that was, however, it really hampered their efforts. Dennis was a rookie revelation, and one of my drivers of the season, he handled pressure so well, and had so much raw pace. If it hadn’t of been for the regen error, he could have won the title. As for Guenther, opportunities were missed for him, and he didn’t stack up well against his less experienced teammate! Missed opportunities can be used to sum up BMW’s time in the sport, as they got many wins, with strong cars and drivers, without getting any titles from it!

For a team of their size, ROKiT Venturi made the most of what they had, which was basically just the Mercedes powertrain. We saw they had brilliant efficiency just like Mercedes, and the cool calm Mortara was able to score good points with it. They got close to the driver’s title, but it wasn’t to be this year. Nato on the other hand saved the best till last, as he dominated the season finale, to score his first win in the sport.

Mahindra and Porsche were mostly midfield teams, although both got their chances at the front, with both arguably deserving a win. Beyond that they collected points, and probably planned for better in the future. All of their drivers had ups and downs, as they try and stay in the sport for the long term.

It has been an absolutely torrid year for Nissan, who seemingly stood still this year, and allowed many teams to fly right by them. It is the same issues that still plague them, with the car having great one lap pace, but lacking the efficiency to stay there in the race. If they can’t get their act together soon, we may even see them paying to get out of the sport during the Gen3 era. Part of their issues may be attributed to a lacklustre performance by Buemi, who couldn’t match Rowland for a large part of the year, not what you expect from a champion, and multiple Le Mans winner!

In the past, Dragon Penske and NIO 333 have barely been able to get points during a season, so in that vein, this year has been a major success for them. However, they are still behind the rest of the pack, and that gap will not be easy to make up. I think that the Gen3 cars will be a prime opportunity to close the gap massively. Otherwise, their drivers did their jobs well, in getting as many points as they could.

It was a short season in terms of duration, although we got plenty of action to keep us entertained. Despite an anti-climax for the title, this was probably the most competitive year of Formula E so far, with most of the grid having a chance to win, let’s hope it stays the same for next year!
