Things To Consider When Test Driving A Car

-

When looking for a new car it is vital that you test-drive the car first. If you have never owned that type or class of vehicle before, it is a good idea to test-drive several different models from that class of car. This way you can compare what different manufacturers have to offer.
Start by looking at vehicles that will fit on your drive or in your garage. In addition, consider whether the cars are economical enough for you. Look at insurance, servicing, tyre, road tax and congestion charge costs. Lastly, consider fuel economy. Dealers have most of this information readily available. In addition, this information is available on-line on many sites of which Parkers and Which Car are the best for this type of information.
Make yourself a checklist and fill it in for each of the cars that you test. Include in your list anything that have niggled you about cars you have owned in the past. In addition, ask yourself, Is the car accessible? E.g., Can my passengers and I get in and out easily? Is the car comfortable for all users? E.g., Can you adjust the seat, steering wheel and mirrors sufficiently?
Once you have narrowed down the cars you like to a few take those cars on more detailed test drives. If you want the car to carry, your family make sure that one of your test drives includes taking the family with you. At this stage, ask yourself if all your belongings will fit in the car and if the boot is big enough to accommodate your family and hobbies.
Make sure that you test drive the car in town, on country roads and on dual carriageways doing so will allow you to assess if you like the way the car drives and make sure that engine noise is not an issue.
To be 100% sure you are buying the correct car consider hiring that model for a few days and use it on typical journeys. This may seem expensive, but if is worth spending the money to ensure you are not stuck driving a car you do not like for several years.

  Introduction: In the world of cybersecurity, attackers continuously explore new techniques to bypass network defenses and exfiltrate sensitive information. One such technique gaining prominence is DNS tunneling. DNS tunneling allows attackers to use the DNS protocol as a covert communication channel, exploiting its ubiquitous nature and inherent characteristics. This blog post delves into the concept of DNS tunneling, its working mechanism, potential risks, and methods to mitigate this emerging threat. Understanding DNS Tunneling: DNS (Domain Name System) is the backbone of the internet, responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. Its primary purpose is to facilitate communication between devices. However, this fundamental protocol can be manipulated to serve as a covert channel for data transmission. DNS tunneling involves encapsulating data within DNS queries and responses, effectively bypassing network security measures that may not scrutinize DNS traffic as c...

The New LG OLED TV with 4K

It doesn't seem too long ago that we were questioning whether OLED TV would really take off, but since then a slew of ultra-thin screens have passed through our testing rooms. Our verdict? OLED TVs were definitely worth the wait. With the rapid evolution of televisions over the past few years, we've seen new technologies from 3D to Smart content to  4K Ultra HD  resolution all become established features. OLED has managed to work its way on to the long list of TV jargon too, with its main selling point being ultra-dark blacks and super-bright whites. The first OLED TVs started to hit the shelves in 2013 but they were few and far between, and expensive . These sets gave us a glimpse at what all the fuss was about, with a revolution in picture quality and slimline design promised - a 4K OLED TV became the holy grail in many AV enthusiasts' minds. But that promise appeared to wane somewhat during 2014. First there was news that Sony and Panasonic ha...

Protect Your Smartphone's Data, and Avoid Being Hacked

The government  hack of an iPhone  used by a San Bernardino killer serves as a reminder that phones and other electronic devices aren't impenetrable vaults. While most people aren't targets of the  NSA , FBI or a foreign government, hackers are looking to steal the financial and personal information of ordinary people. Your phone stores more than just selfies. Your email account on the phone, for instance, is a gateway to resetting banking and other sensitive passwords. Like washing your hands and brushing your teeth, a little "cyber hygiene" can go a long way toward preventing disaster. Lock your phone with a passcode Failing to do so is like leaving your front door unlocked. A four-digit passcode - and an accompanying self-destruct feature that might wipe a phone's data after too many wrong guesses - stumped the FBI for weeks and forced them to bring in outside help. Using six digits makes a passcode 100 times harder to guess. And if you want to m...
