Review of Citroen Cars in Indonesia

As a fan of Citroen, I actually feel pity with the depletion of the number of Citroen vehicles passing by on the highway. Fortunately there is still concerned with the treatment of Citroen cars, so that was already sleeping soundly on the road again or garage can be used for other cars suskucadangnya yand also was sleeping. Canibalisme rough terms. Cars that are not beyond help may be split and taken jeroannya to save the lives of other cars. This is commonly done if the view that for some kinds of spare parts, if purchased new must be very expensive and may not match the content of the user's pocket Citroen. I included in it, if there are problems with the car and had to replace parts, I call my subscription mechanic, Mr. Wasro in Pondok Pinang, South Jakarta to find secondnya goods. Understandably I first bought this car because it could not afford another car.

The longer hang out with the car, the Citroen BX 16 TRS Elegance blue metallic silver color that the paint was peeling in several places and meet kolongnya rust, I grew to love and expect suatau now have enough money to renovate a section bodynya it. How could I not love this car (even if you think about it in two years I have spent almost twenty million for incidental repairs here and there), if if already running on the highway, sped up to speeds over 140 miles per hour did not seem and the suspension is very very soft like a ship at sea or on a plane in the air? So, until whenever this car will be a favorite car.

New Car Sales Australia April 2012

One look at VFACTS new car sales figures year-to-date (YTD) for Australia confirms the two-speed economy and underscores the problems for Government and the Reserve Bank in getting the right policy settings to deal with it.

And it's not only a problem for the Federal Government.

With the exception of Western Australia which is riding the resources wave top to bottom, and Tasmania which is stuck in reverse, most states with the exception of Victoria are experiencing two speed economies within their borders.

Like Queensland: riding the resources boom north of the mythical 'Brisbane Line', and below it a once-booming tourism industry blackened and bruised by a rampant dollar (held high, ironically, by a booming resources sector).

For policy makers, it's like trying to ride two horses: one bolting, the other running on dead legs.

What policy levers do you pull to deal with such disparate economic performance across industry sectors within the one broader economy? And where the scale of the boom in one sector is hurting nearly all others - manufacturing, retail and tourism in particular.

The confused and conflicting positions of commentators and governments on how to manage it, both state and federal, is matched by flagging consumer confidence and a growing sentiment - not currently rooted in reality - that the economy is in recession.

So we have new car sales in Western Australia up by 10.0 percent YTD, up by 7.5 percent YTD in Queensland, but down by 12.3 percent YTD in Tasmania, and up by just 3.9 percent YTD in Victoria, and 4.1 percent YTD in NSW.

It is just as patchy, though a little less dramatic, in April sales.

Given the negative consumer sentiment still eating its way through the economy however, that the industry is up at all is little short of remarkable.

But having studied VFACTS sales results for the better part of 15 years, it is difficult to recall a period with such unpredictable results and such unusual statistical 'noise'.

For some brands, their marketing departments will be scratching their heads trying to make sense of what's happening in 2012 and the fickle up-and-down sales performance of some models.

Aside from SUVS, small ones in the main, riding a wave of sales as the 'new family wagon' of the 21st century, everything else is an unpredictable mish-mash.

Here, for instance, is the top 20 list of vehicle sales across all sectors for April.

1. Toyota HiLux (4X2 and 4X4): 3565 sales
2. Mazda3: 3005 sales
3. Toyota Corolla: 2573 sales
4. Holden Cruze: 2315 sales
5. Holden Commodore: 2258 sales
6. Hyundai i30: 2147 sales
7. Toyota Prado: 1725 sales
8. Toyota Camry: 1602 sales
9. Nissan Navara (4X2 and 4X4): 1590 sales
10. Mitsubishi Triton (4X2 and 4X4): 1482 sales
11. Mazda CX-5: 1413 sales
12. Toyota Yaris: 1380 sales
13. Mazda2: 1305 sales
14. Ford Focus: 1105 Sales
15. Ford Territory: 1076 sales
16. Toyota Kluger: 1047 sales
17. Ford Falcon: 1009 sales
18. Subaru Forester: 989 sales
19. Honda Jazz: 972 sales
20. Hyundai iX35: 971 sales

Who would ever have thought that in this country we would see the Falcon sitting at number 17 on such a list?

And besides the astonishing performance of the versatile 'recreation and work' utes, like the HiLux, Navara and Triton, Mazda will be doing cartwheels over the performance of its CX-5 in just its second full month of sales.

Commodore is now bested by its Adelaide production partner, the Cruze, and both Falcon and Territory are bested by the Focus (strange days indeed).

Of the vehicle segments, SUV is up 27.8 percent in April, light commercial (mostly utes) is up 7.4 percent, passenger sales are down 2.5 percent.

And it's not only families buying SUVs. Business sector sales are up 28.3 percent, nearly matching the private growth in sales of 31.5 percent. And, remarkably, rental growth in SUV sales YTD is up an astonishing 108 percent.

Look a little deeper and you'll find big Landcruiser sales up 26.3 percent in April, Nissan Patrol up 32.2 percent, Prado up 89.6 percent for April, and theLexus LX up 166.7 percent.

This double and triple digit growth was achieved while Mercedes M and G-Classdeclined, Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover declined, and BMW X5 up 9.5 percent for the month (a good result in any other market, but with nothing like the growth of the big Japanese 'trucks').

Is that a booming resources sector at work? It's guesswork, VFACTS does not provide the sales granularity necessary to make that leap, but the outback is awash with big Toyota and Nissan 4X4 wagons.

Nielsen's first quarter survey (February 10-27) of 31,000 online consumers in 56 countries found that "Australians reported the second most significant drop in confidence after Poland with a decrease of eight index points to 95. Contrastingly, global consumer confidence increased five index points to 94 in the first quarter of 2012".

In that survey, more than one third (36 percent) of Australian consumers believed the country was in recession.

Nielsen also isolated high interest rates as a key reason for declining consumer sentiment.

"While these rates may be appropriate for the mining industry, they are not suitable for the rest of the country’s economy, particularly the retail sector which continues to struggle, fuelling the notion of a polarised, two-speed economy,” Chris Percy, Managing Director, Nielsen Pacific, said.

On that score, this week's rate reduction of 50 basis points announced by Reserve Bank Governor Glenn Stevens would seem to be overdue.

Where to go in Switzerland

The beauty throughout Switzerland is outstanding and it would be a treat to view the Swiss highlights, which are popular all over the world. The highlights in Switzerland include the UNESCO Heritage sites, travel on Swiss panoramic trains, Swiss spas, Health Resorts, historic site, mountains. 

Motorway Vignette Switzerland

In order to use the highways in Switzerland, a toll has to be paid. But there are no toll booth, instead a special sticker - known as the "Autobahn Vignette" - is required. The sticker is valid for one calendar year (January until December), there is nothing like a one day or one week pass. It costs CHF 40.00 and is available at the customs at the borders and at all gas stations and post offices throughout the country.You can also buy a vignette at the Swiss Travel Centre.

The sticker must be fixed to the windshield on cars and trucks, there are particular rules for where it has to be placed on motorbikes. If you don't display a vignette you'll be liable to a fine of CHF100 plus the cost of the vignette. The Swiss Motorway vignettes are valid for multiple re-entries into Switzerland. The vignette is valid between 1st December of the previous year and 31st January of the following year (printed on the vignette). If taking a trailer or a caravan, you will need to purchase an extra vignette. Road conditions / restrictions

In Switzerland, names of towns are used for navigation on the roads, rather than highway numbers. Signs show the names of the major cities, road numbers are rarely seen. Signs on or for highways use white letters on green background. Signs for major roads use white letters on blue background, signs for local roads use black letters on white background.

Signs on or for highways use white letters on green background. Signs for major roads use white letters on blue background, signs for local roads use black letters on white background.

Swiss motorways and secondary roads are excellent and rate among the best in the world. The road system is constantly improved and you will therefore meet roadwork throughout all of Switzerland. Outside rush hours, when it is wise to avoid town centers, motoring is usually trouble-free and often enjoyable when using secondary roads in country areas. In winter, many mountain passes are closed due to heavy snowfall from around November to May. Vehicles using pass roads that remain open require snow chains.

Highways in Switzerland are often congested, particularly in summertime. Weekends are especially bad. The most busy highway is the highway A1 between Zürich and Bern, but also the Gotthard tunnel between Göschenen and Airolo is often very crowded. Cars may build up for as long as 20 km and it needs a lot of patience to get to the other side of the Alps. An alternative is to use the San Bernardino pass but congestions are there very likely too.

Where to camp

Swiss campsites are well managed and are graded.Even the most modest have proper toilet and washing facilities and a shop, while those at the upper end boast swimming pools, supermarkets and a range of creature comforts. Campsites are generally open from April to the mid October, although many sites are open all year round. 

Motorhome areas / sanistations (Reisemobil stellplätze)

There are a few motorhome stopover places ( in Germany they call them stellplatz), some even have sanidumps and toilets and showers. Sometimes you can stay for free, others ask a (small) fee. 

In Region Geneva it's not allowed to stay the night on public parking places. In Luzern and Nidwalden(Central Switzerland it's often tolerated. In all other regions staying overnight for 1 night is excepted.

Im Kanton Genf ist freies Übernachten auf öffentlichen Parkplätzen überall verboten In Luzern, Nidwalden und Graubünden wird freies Übernachten häufig toleriert. In den restlichen Kantonen ist einmaliges Übernachten auf öffentlichen Parkplätzen statthaft.

Camping and caravanparks

Swiss railway passes

Even when you travel with a motorhome, it's a good idea to buy a Swiss railway pass. With a Swiss Flexi pass you can get unlimited travel throughout rail, bus and boat Swiss Travel System network during 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 days of your choice within 1 month. This pass also covers scenic routes and local trams and buses in 37 towns and cities.

The Swiss Flexi Pass will also offer 50% reduction all most mountain-top trains and cable cars and will include the Swiss Museum Pass, allowing you free entrance to over 400 museums and exhibitions. And children from 6 to 15 years inclusive travel free with a Family Card if accompanied by at least one parent. 

Type of motorhome(s)

Hightop 

A panel van (delivery van) conversion with a special high fixed roof. The 'wheelbase' of the van chassis has a strong influence on available space since the width is more or less fixed. Long wheelbase chassis give the most space but can be unwieldy to drive. Medium wheelbase is the most popular on newer vans, MWB is not available on older vans. Often known as a 'camper' or 'campervan' or even Dormobile after one of the original manufacturers.

Rising roof

A variant of the above with a 'folding roof' to lower the overall profile. Also known as a 'pop-top'. Has obvious advantages when driving but there are some problems with insulation and water ingress.

C-Class or Coachbuilt

An extended chassis on a van cab with a coachbuilt living space, rather like having a high spec caravan on the back. The wider 'caravan' body allows designers to cleverly incorporate almost everything you could need into a quite small space - even cross-body beds big enough for a six footer. Frequently called a 'motorcaravan'. Also known as a C-Class in the UK. Many have overcab beds in the 'Luton' but there are also 'low-profile' versions of these motorcaravans without the Luton over-cab space and sometimes with a lower roofline, these vans are much more economical on motorways due to their improved aerodynamics.

A-Classor Integrated

Medium or largish 'van completely coachbuilt - i.e. with nothing of the original van bodywork or cab exterior. Potentially the best design since almost everything is based on the needs of motorcaravanners but they are usually rather expensive and historically not that popular in the UK though this is changing. These days they are about 2.2 metres wide like the c-class coachbuilts and often have a transverse 'drop-down' double bed stored in the roof over the cab seats offering much more headroom than the Luton bed in a c-class. Often only 3 berth. The posh end of the market and often referred to as a 'motorhome'. 

Driving license

Holders of a full foreign driving license may drive in Switzerland for one year using a foreign or international driving license. Most motorhome rental companies ask at least a one year valid driving licence.

Visa

Who requires a visa?

Visas may not be required of citizens of the following countries, for stays up to 90 days:

(a) nationals of EU countries, Australia, Canada, Japan and US;

(b) nationals of countries in South and Central America (except nationals of Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru who do need a visa);

(c) nationals of Caribbean island states (except nationals of Cuba, Dominican Republic and Haiti who do need a visa);

(d) nationals of Andorra, Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Fiji, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Kiribati, Korea (Rep. Of), Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Tuvalu and Vatican City;

(e) nationals of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Serbia & Montenegro provided they are resident in Canada, Iceland, Norway, USA or EU countries.

Nationals of countries not appearing above, or those staying longer than 90 days may require a visa.

Health

In general, no special immunizations or medications are necessary for travel to Switzerland. Tick precautions are advised for rural and forested areas

Emergency telephone numbers

Police, tel. 117; Fire, tel. 118; Ambulance, tel. 144 or 177. The breakdown service Touring Secours can be reached by dialing 140.

Best time to visit

Summer lasts roughly from June until September, and offers the most pleasant climate for outdoor activities.If you visit during the spring (April to May) or the autumn (September to October), you're likely to find fewer tourists. Winter sports venues begin operating in late November and close down when the snow begins to melt in spring.

Currency

The Swiss franc divided into 100 centimes is the currency of Switzerland. This is one of the world's most stable currencies, thanks to the neutrality, fiercely conservative monetary policy and ample gold reserves of the Swiss national bank. Swiss francs are shortened either with the official banking name CHF (from the latin name of the country Confederation Helvetica, CH) or sometimes just Fr. or Sfr. 

Electricity

Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Plugs are of the linear, rounded three-pin type, but rounded two-pin lugs will fit the outlet.

Renault Duster Review - Price, Specs, Features

Renault India has launched the highly anticipated Duster SUV with a highly exciting  price of Rs 7.19 lakhs. The high end diesel variant of the 5-seater SUV is priced at Rs 11.29 lakhs. The all new Renault Duster SUV is available in 8 variants - two petrol and six diesel options.

Speaking at the event. Renault India Managing Director Mark Nassif said: "the Renault Duster is the best choice for customers looking for the comfort of a sedan with the appeal of an SUV. We are very excited about the product and we expect it to be a game changer for this segment.

The petrol variants of the Renault Duster - RXE 1.6 Petrol and RXL 1.6 Petrol are priced at Rs 7.19 lakhs and Rs 8.19 lakhs respectively. Meanwhile, diesel variants' prices are as follows.

* Renault Duster RXE 1.5 Diesel 85 PS - Rs. 7.99 Lakhs

* Renault Duster RXL 1.5 Diesel Option Pack 85 PS - Rs. 9.99 Lakhs

* Renault Duster RXL 1.5 Diesel 85 PS - Rs. 8.99 Lakhs

* Renault Duster RXL 1.5 Diesel 110 PS - Rs. 9.99 Lakhs

* Renault Duster RXZ 1.5 Diesel 110 PS - Rs. 10.99 Lakhs

* Renault Duster RXZ 1.5 Diesel Leather Pack 110 PS - Rs. 11.29 Lakhs

The Duster will be competing with the likes of Mahindra Scorpio, Bollero and Tata Safari in the Indian market. However, it needs to be seen if these Indian cars can match the quality, features and specification advantages of the Renault Duster.

Renault claims that the Duster is packed with best Renault technology which results in a fuel efficient, powerful performance, superb  ride and handling along with a host of practical and attractive features. "The Renault Duster an extremely good value proposition for all our customers. The Duster is a vehicle which will not only meet the aspirations of our customers but also set the benchmark on all parameters," Mark added.
