Compact Car Reviews ? Honda Civic Vs. Honda Fit Vs. Mini Cooper A lot of compact cars in the past years have been upgrading their cars and what better comfort they can give to the buyers is what brings them their boost in sale. Let me give you a few reviews on a few compact cars.

Let me start with the Honda Civic. We can say that the Honda Civic has consistently great reviews with the comfortable interior, overall long- term reliability and the ride quality, which a lot of people say that it is quite fun to drive. It also has excellent fuel economy. The Honda Civic Si Model is known to accelerate quite well. It also has a strong resale value and have good safety ratings as well.

Cheap Tricks And Snake Oil

Posted on by pauline

Cheap Tricks And Snake Oil There are a number of cheap tricks that cosmetic companies use to fool us into believing that we’re purchasing something that is ‘natural’ or otherwise good for us, when it is anything but. Here are a couple of examples:

Incorporating ‘natural’, ‘organic’ or ‘botanical’ into the brand or logo

This means absolutely NOTHING. Such products may contain minuscule amounts of natural ingredients, along with a whole host of chemical nasties.

The regulations currently state that ‘ingredients must be listed in descending order by volume or mass, however ingredients present at less than one-per cent may be listed in any order.’

A rose by any other name…
