Kia Venga vs. Hyundai ix20: almost identical cars from different Brands.

The Kia Venga came as first on the market and was a direct hit in 2010. While it took Hyundai at least one year more to release their ix20. The two hatchbacks with 5 doors are looking very similar, except the front. These cars are multiple purpose vehicles (MPV's), that's what's it make them ideal family cars.

Driving the car

KIA Venga

Because you are sitting quite high in these cars you have more control of the traffic around you. Getting in the car is also more comfortable because of the higher placed seats. The compact dimensions make it easy to park, and some models are equipped with sensors that make park the car a peace of cake. Some people complain that the first Huyndai ix20 has less powerful engines installed in their models than KIA but Hyundai made now some new models with more powerful engines, even more powerful than those engines that KIA offers.

Hyundai ix20

Room and boot capacity

The cars are very roomy inside and are performing very well with their boot capacity that can handle 440 liters, that's more than most MPV's (the Ford B-Max has 318 liters). The backseats are adjustable so you can ad extra space up to 570 liters. And if the backseats are folded down to a flat surface you can have 1486 liters of boot capacity.

Same parts for 2 different cars

From my own experience some parts of both cars can be used for each car, like the front-window that fits exactly in both cars. When I needed to repear the front window of my Hyundai ix20, because of a crack in the window, I needed a whole new front window. The carglass center did repair it with a Kia Venga window. What parts are more out there that can be used to assembly both cars? 

Models and prices

The Huyndai brand made more style variations like the new ix20 Move and the ix20 Active. You have also more choice in the type of engines. But the engines of the KIA models are performing better. The Kia Venga and the Huyndai ix20 are having almost the exact same prices from 13000 (exclusive taxes) for the lounge versions to 18000 € (exclusive taxes) for the top versions.

Which 3D program is the best to work with? What are the possibilities of each program - a review.

Rendered 3D text

That's a good question. Well the answer is simple and also complex. It's a deal between how beautiful the output must be, the time you have to spend before the deadline, what part of the public you want to target (gamers, film, cinema, photo's, posters, advertising new projects, civil, particular) and the money you want to spend on it and the software you want to learn to become the picture and what the program can.

AutoCAD by Autodesk
Has many features added and is the most famous drawing software ever, compatible with many programs, subscription available, easiest to learn, not the cheapest but the best.

3D Studio Max by Autodesk
Is the best for 3D rendering, scene rendering, advanced light, materials and rendering tools, you even can render over all the computers in your LAN-network to become that beautiful most realistic picture, many features, not the easiest software to learn and is very expensive to buy.

Do you have FAQ's about 3D programs in this branch or have suggestions or meanings about some 3D programs? Just leave a post on this site. We will answer your questions in a little of time.

Ferrari F430 Spider review

De meest recente Ferrari, de F430 Spider, is een roadster met een V8 motor. Deze sportauto biedt een unieke combinatie van extreme prestaties en rijden zonder dak. Deze super-machine is uitgerust met dezelfde 4.3-liter als de F430 coupé. De Spider heeft een topsnelheid van meer dan 310 km/u en gaat van 0 tot 100 km in 4,1 seconden.

Deze hoogstaande prestaties werden bekomen door technieken die men terug vindt in de Formule 1. Het circuit is nog steeds het terrein voor Ferrari om aan onderzoek en ontwikkeling te doen.

De belangrijkste verbeteringen zijn een verhoging van 10 procent torsiestijfheid bij het chassis. De bediening en wegligging leunen aan bij de betere standaarden, terwijl het elektronische differentieel er voor zorgt dat de 490 pk uit de V8 op een efficiënte manier op de weg wordt overgebracht.
