Test drive VW Touareg 2011 - test drive and video review of 2011 VW Touareg VW Touareg 2011 VW Touareg is one of the greatest successes of VW Group model line in last few years. This SUV came out almost 10 years ago and it has been a real best seller since. The latest VW Touareg offers much more dynamic design compared to its predecessor. The interior is improved as well. Now the Touareg feels much more settled inside and out with more technological innovations and improved fuel economy (which was kind of a problem in the previous generation). The downsizing engine volume trend has reached big SUVs like the Touareg as well and now it offers smaller engines with better turbos and better dynamics. There is a hybrid model in the Touareg model range as well. Gasoline engines include VW Touareg 3.6 V6 BlueMotion with 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 6,200 rpm and 360 Nm (266 lb·ft) at 3,200 rpm; 3.0 Supercharged Hybrid with 333 PS (245 kW; 328 hp - 440 Nm); 4.2 FSI V8 360 PS (265 kW; 355 hp).

1TB Seagate Expansion external hard drive specifications and review Seagate Expansion 1TB HDD When we talk about storage there are two main figures that are most important - volume and speed. The first one takes care for the amount of files you can store and access on a storage device and the second takes care of the fast processing of the data. We all know that external hard drives are not always that fast and secure and that they may cause us problems sometimes. The brand Seagate produces storage devices for quite some time and they are well aware of the things that are important for an external hard drive.

Nikon Coolpix S5100 digital camera review - Nikon Coolpix S5100 price, features and specifications There are some key features when choosing a digital camera. First and probably most important thing is to decide what kind of camera you need (pocket camera, DSLR or any other type). When you have that all figured out the probably the next most important thing is megapixels. People often search cameras in a specific megapixel range. They hear somewhere something about megapixels or read it in the magazine that higher is better so that is another key feature that is going to make their mind when choosing digital camera. Another important thing is zoom. Bigger zoom capabilities often make some mediocre models real best sellers. The form factor is another key feature in cameras, especially for the pocket ones. The first impression of a pocket camera is very important. And finally there is the price. It should meet your expectations or you will just switch to the next model that is more affo

Babolat E-Sense Comp tennis racquet review

Image
Features, specs and video review of the  Babolat E-Sense Comp tennis racket Babolat E-Sense Comp is a low-end tennis racket with a 100 sq.in. head size and the patented Babolat side Woofer technology.        The E-Sense Comp utilizes Xtra Sweetspot technology in a popular 100-square inch headsize. By positioning a more-forgiving Pebax grommet strip in the 3:00 and 9:00 positions on the head, the sweetspot is enlarged when compared with other racquets of comparable head size. With Babolats patented Woofer technology , the amount of time the ball spends on contact with the string bed is maximized; an increase of 25% over racquets with similar specifications. The 100% graphite composition provides a light weight for more swing speed yet a stiffer feel for more control on contact. Overall, the Babolat E-Sense Comp is a nice blend of power and control that should help players looking to improve their game and transition into an adult frame.    Offering a generous s
