Contest and i will show you for explains that besides s. U. V. S al compact offerings with powerful engines are still quite popular especially the Honda Civic Type and the go to model the v. W. Golf another is the ford focus s. T. He thinks it looks quite smart but he wants to know how it drives. So he climbs in behind the Steering Wheel. Presses the stop button and listens to the engine sounds. The hot hatch s. G. Version the focus has been on since 2005 it was even discontinued for a while but resurrected in 22 well now ford has rolled out a 3rd generation focus s. T. Perhaps hoping it will pick up on the recent success of its little brother the fiesta. He also emmanuel discovers the focus s. T. Is in its element. On these winding country roads it hugs the curves nicely responds well to the throttle and its manual 6 speed transmission shifts nice and tightly. The gears seem to have an even shorter throw than in the latest r. S. Lots of trying to see a future. That also has a lot to do with the adaptive damping and the neck tronic limited slip differential on the front axle and the selection of driving rides. Emmanuelle experiences the focus s. T. Steering as fairly direct so theres good feedback from the road it also has relatively good self aligning chalk which means the Steering Wheel pulls back to the 12 oclock position but thats a good thing as it allows the driver to turn the wheel back quicker so were. Working hard under the hood is a 2. 3 liter 4 cylinder engine based on the one powering the old focus r. S. The new focus tianjin puts out 206 kilowatts and pushes the car to a top speed of 250 Kilometers Per Hour. In order to take the money will accelerate sort of 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour in under 6 seconds and the sound the engine produces is full and satisfying admittedly somewhat artificially synthesised but fairly distinctive even when heard by a bystander outside when the car flies past. The body styling kit sense the estes exterior apart from the regular focus. It includes color coded front and rear bumpers optional 19 inch alloy wheels. Bring out the sports car character. A real spoiler makes for added downforce on the reaction. Inside rick our sports teams are available on request for ideal support. An Electronic Brake servo with an adaptive main cylinder builds brake pressure more steadily and helps to prevent the fading effect even after repeatedly hitting the brakes hard hat. Their focus this embattled points out that its like the more powerful our ass the focus s. T. Features Launch Control but he questions its usefulness predicting that drivers would use it twice and decide they dont really need it even so he appreciates having it. In addition to the gasoline engine tested here a 140. 00 kilowatt diesel is available for the s. T. Just like its pretty decisive l. A. Just as he can also be hired as a Station Wagon which starts at 33000 euros in germany. My father emmanuel sums up the ford focus s t as a really well made hot hatch known as aggressive in purist because the Honda Civic Type but also not as white bread is the gold changing i think its a good mix and so much fun to drive you take it for another spin. Know how and. These days almost every automaker has. And so you have your 2 and its lined up real off road is a still a rare breed one thats been around for a while dismissing the news. And it does go through a contest to school but it feels like its gone back in time. You know how to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. He almost expects to see a tie around a saurus rex pass by. Not exactly passed by. He feels like hes sitting inside a dinosaur. That being the mercedes g. Class. Hes just gotten into the newest edition mathematics says it doesnt feel as new as it looks prudent is a god so no i dont. I was thinking. Technologically speaking its up to date yet all of its modern Driver SystemEntertainment Systems cant hide it same each. Side mounted says the g. Model dates back to 979 a time when german vehicles didnt offer much in the way of space they were all narrower shorter and lower than todays models you know the interior was quite roomy for the time. Today he notices that it feels pretty cramped even though the new model is around 8 centimeters wider than the old 15 hope for the best lawyer all the same to me. So space is limited but the vehicle is bound to have other selling points right. I dont suppose on the matter says the mercedes g. Has one special talent just watch this. By going just 50 kilometers an hour it can make the tires squeal. Just the way a porsche 911. 00 would when taking the same curve at a 100 Kilometers Per Hour. All these very far. Now thats really something of course the g. 500. 00 can go faster than 50 kilometers an hour its 310. 00 kilowatt for each a v. A twin turbo charger can accelerate these ball units on wheels to 210 Kilometers Per Hour and the g. Class can go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a respectable 5. 9 seconds officially fuel consumption is listed as 12 liters per 100 kilometers but thats difficult all downright impossible to achieve in practice. When its. Sitting so high up matches has a great overview of the situation and yet she can barely remember the last time he was in a car with such a huge turning circle. On the bright side he says with this car you can just drive over the curb if you cant turn in time. So the g. Class isnt a great vehicle for parking carriages. But maybe its just right for. After me asking our car test the system is sadies g class is immediately recognizable and the newest version of one change that. Its boxy shape and angular exterior contours simply make it like no other. Though if you take a closer look you can see there are some differences from the previous model. Thats a stock. Even if many of the stylistic elements remain the same like the wind shield. The flat. And the distinctive. Trim others have changed there are new bumpers headlights and turn signals the door edges around the shoe you can hear the difference when closing them. The tail lights are flatter and use technology. And matthew says if we go even further back to the yankees and to 979 when this one was introduced 4 years ago. Completely different again. Practical features instead of smart chrome trim that was an advantage when traveling crosscountry as were the 16 inch steel wheels considered quite large back then what hasnt changed over the years the turn signals are still found on the front wings. The spare tire is still mounted on the back. There monday. This is both of these cars belong to. This wonderful castle where weve been invited today. After the 2 men say hello and sets things straight he says under the cars belong to him and he does most weddings are canceling likes to greet their guests and today hes happy mass is here with a nice alter. Much as comments that the castle in the g. Class are these happy things you need in daily life. As a christian says you stay true to the gym class because he likes that. He uses the old regime model to take guests hunting and this want to drive. Many. Matches imagines getting into the g. Class in a flowing down would be a tight squeeze christian admits theres not as much room as you think so he hopes the new version will offer much more space. Finds it a little crowded. So those matters even though hes not short of them kristie i dont know if you can. Think of designers should have sacrificed a bit of cargo space to give passengers more leg room. Glasses agrees but he says at least they have a great seat belts. And fun of these when he really doesnt like these events or if anythings there round shape contradicts this calls entire concept. Christian suggests they set out from time to test things out on matters even lets him drive. In the puts it quickly becomes clear that the g. Class is much more than a trend for hauling groceries though the christian gives it a real workout in rugged terrain the vehicle takes everything in your stride. Matters ask question what he thinks. The biggest thrills and holes are the technological masterpiece that. If we like the business such a big difference to what he has now. Theres no comparison christian says it drives like a dream no bumps nothing in absorbs the bumps look. But what good is that if the vehicle is seldom or never used to offload due to its high price or for fear of scratches and scrapes. With Allan Fels Castle disappearing in the mirror behind him matches delivers his verdict was coming because he says he can understand christians enthusiasm in a savings g. Class really is a great vehicle for driving. The christian really wasnt driving slowly yet matus didnt feel like go about any old sticks and stones on the ground. But he also did notice that the front rigid axle has been replaced by independent suspension. Terms of off road capabilities of a g. Class still has 3 differential locks. So its a great off road or so forgotten but you have to says missing class is also a great gas guzzler so dont expect too much official fuel consumption and even though its got more larger here it is still a tight fit. Plus the vehicle is incredibly hard to maneuver marjorie says lots of vehicles can do what the class can and do it better. The only thing they dont have is the culture. So much as advisors buyers to look beyond the hype purchasing new vehicle. Is that and today car tester in his retreat is trying out a new model in the s. U. V. Segment the citroen c 5 aircraft available in germany since early 2019. Its main selling points would seem to be design and comfort. Its marketed in 92 countries and it is wants to find out how it hopes to win with my car buyers how messed up. Up to get you to see 5 across possesses all the features of an s. U. V. Such as the wide skirts and the rounded flowing control such as major design elements. And the end of that you know this points out a unique design feature at the front of the split grill the upper part includes the daytime running lights and turn signals while down below but the head last got an indentation to accommodate citron double chevron logo. Bumper inserts and air bumps in different colors can also be had. Looking at the sci fi. From the side it is almost 6 the roof is floating above the body and windows other carmakers have been playing with this effect as well its achieved by making the a. M. B. Pale as glossy black which also seems to stretch the body out on the sea 5 across black roof an area a set off from the body. Chrome trim. Pick up those and the 4 apps that. Highlights at the rear is the smart design of the l e g tail lights with the 3 d. Effect. The 1st thing is sees when she climbs into the c. 5 across the superbly up post and cigarettes. Thats a decisive factor in making this as you know being so comfortable that theyre not. The mask they are it is especially like the combination of materials which gives the interior both a high quality and a stylishly modern look the only part she doesnt like that much all the while a challenging patents for smart for glass to her they look as if the designers had lost their aspiration. She would have liked a nice covering. The driving modes in nearby and if you compare them with how charging pads seem a little slapdash. But she gives a top rating to the illuminated storage compartment at the Center Console it accommodates even big water bottles. The modern design of that requires a digital cockpit able to display a diversity of information. For an especially comfortable ride citron is a critical european versions of the c. 5 across with advanced comfort suspension additional hydraulic stops allow for. Better absorption of jobs unlike the purely mechanical stops they also prevent excessive rebound. We try to up the more powerful of the 2 available gasoline engines with an alfred 133 kilowatts coupled with an 8 speed automatic transmission it allows the car to go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a 42 seconds with the highest trim to shine the air cross sells for just under 37000. 00 euros in germany the banks version starts at around 23000. 00 euros. Venus finds the steering nice and tight giving her a good control of the car and even the added to the normal driving mode is the eco mode for more fuel efficient driving. In the sport mode the car downshifts on a lighter throttle and holds the lower gears much longer. But on the whole i wouldnt say the sport mode goes all that well with a suspension set primarily for comfort of the person issue prefers the normal mode that absent that it has thats where everything comes together in harmony and 8 gears shift smoothly and the cars 133 killer wants to opt out. Of the flat because. In his returns to the design pointing out a funny presentation of the speedometer. It looks a bit like a timeline. In the fight. One cynicism used for this and says it is one more expression of citron ambition to reinterpret redesign everything that. It may just be a gimmick but it certainly grabs our attention. Doesnt see this s. U. V. Navigating the forests and meadows the name cross tends to suggest it was made to float above like a cloud well that in fact it does the comfortable seats and suspension add up to a highly pleasant ride on journeys and sure. And indeed the sci fi there cross does not come with all wheel drive but starting in late 2019 will be available in a plug in hybrid for. A beautiful blast from the past and an extremely rare one at that. Is driving a piece of automotive history the porsche name is displayed proudly at the back but this car was built into switzerland not in porches hometown of stuttgart. The coast of explains that when the Auto Industry was in its infancy cars were made by hand the big manufacturers only provided the shaft the engine and the fittings customers had to water the body individually from a coachmaker. By the 950 s. This practice was rare but the beutler firm from switzerland continue to do excellent body work. One example is this wonderful to play a 957. 696. Ounce the Football Club had already established contacts of porsche back in 19486 of the very 1st porsche 356 is had bodies made by the bottle brothers including the oldest Series Production porsche still in existence car numbers 003 but the coach makers had aspirations of there are. An elegant if you play with superior engineering that drives like a sports. Impossible. No simple answer that floats a point if they acquired the shattering of a v. W. Bug and began to hammer out a suitable body and this was the fruits of their labor the porsche boy plus 696 a real like catcher. The body of the porsche 696 was made entirely about a 1000000 this particular for dog to play was fitted with an engine that normally powered porsche sports cars the other pointless 606 is used to reliable and cheaper mass production engine produced by fans like. Most. Powered by the v. W. Beetle engine explains christophe with a judson compressor providing extra performance but that wasnt enough and this comes 1st here that sound. That supporter engineering in the back crystal says a 4 cylinder boxer engine generator 75. 00 horsepower push the ku plates for top speed of 165 kilometers an hour. Just the thing for those looking to live life in the fast lane in the late fiftys. Though its a product of the 1950 s. The beutler style used coolly understated but then the swiss do like to remain neutral the only extravagant feature is the mark radiator grille because in fact this cars engine is in the rear. Of the interiors monochrome come screen looks smart with a radio from blaupunkt and high quality leather upholstery the boiler porsche was luxury us and suitable for everyday use. The trunk at the front can hold quite a lot more than just the golf bag. Wanted and here at the back is the legendary Porsche Boxster engine from the 356. Its twins carburetors allowed to generate 75. 00 horsepower this engine alone cost 3600. 00 swiss francs more than the standard v. W. One crystal says its worth every song team thats in the top of the. Flitting between the classy old resort towns of the island of the boiler pusher is really in its element because in its day only the rich can afford to own one. Crystal says in 157 this place so for almost 20000 swiss francs as much as 4 standard volkswagen beetles but exclusivity has its price and the swiss could afford the Better Things in life. Still switzerland is a small countries are just full of these who pays what ever solved. The 5th one for himself and drove it until the 1990 s. They are. Just 5 of these upscale cars where the built using engineering borrowed from porsche and france wagon and a hand hammered body from a small swiss coach maker so can the boy play really qualify as a milestone in automotive history. He could put up the board brothers were the 1st in europe to make a full seater sports could play with outstanding driving characteristics it will be many years until cars like the v. W. Sirocco come free and open introduce the idea to the masses so for that reason christophe feels the.
