The last time we wrote about child car-seats was a decade ago, when education on the importance of child seats was still in its infancy in the Middle East. Since then, many of us have become parents ourselves. While there has a been a lot of progress on the adoption of child seats, mostly thanks to new laws in the UAE and elsewhere, many folks still feel clueless on what is the best type of seat for their children. So here’s a fresh guide for young parents on what’s best for each age group.
| The Good: – Capable turbo engine – Cabin trim and features – Ride and handling |
The Bad: – Some rivals have more space – Interior design lacks style – Limited offroad capabilities |
| The Good: – Good powertrain – Cabin tech, decent space – Entertaining daily-driver |
The Bad: – Some 3-cylinder side-effects – Few rivals offer more space – Some hard-plastic cabin trim |

Due to the pandemic, every car dealer around is claiming that you can buy or service your car while sitting at home, without actually giving any real details about whether you can actually buy a car with a 100% credit card payment or if they will come service your car for free under your house. We recently did multiple runs to the Mopar service centre due to never-ending warranty issues and there was no sign of any such home service. Then we caught wind of a Facebook ad by the Nissan dealer, advertising “free Thursday pick and drop” service, so we decided to try that out because we absolutely hate wasting time on car servicing.
