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 it behind the Steering Wheel. Presses the stop button and listens to the engine sounds. So hot hatch estie version the focus has been on since 2005 it was even just continue for a while but resurrected in 22 well now ford has rolled out the 3rd generation focus anstey perhaps hoping it will pick up on the recent success of its little brother the fiesta s t. V also a minimal discovers the focus s. T. Is in itself. And 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. With all the gears seem to have an even shorter throw than in the latest r. S. Have lots of fun trying to see a fish. 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 riders. Emmanuelle experiences the focus s. T. Steering as fairly direct so theres good feedback from the road it also has relatively good self aligning talk 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 working. Working hard under the hood is a 2. 3 liter full cylinder engine based on the one powering the old focus r. S. The new focus engine puts out 206 kilowatts and pushes the car to a top speed of 250 Kilometers Per Hour. In order to fix the manual exonerates from ciro to 100 Kilometers Per Hour in under 6 seconds and the sound the engine produces is full and satisfying admittedly somewhat artificially synthesised but very distinctive even when heard by a bystander outside when the car flies past. The h. T. Body styling kit sense the estes exterior apart from the regular focus. Which includes color coded front and rear bumpers optional 19 inch away by. Bring out the sports car character. A rear spoiler makes for added downforce on the reaction. Inside recovery sport seats are available on request for ideal support.

Their focus is a manual points out those like the more powerful r. S. The focus s. T. Features Launch Control but it questions its usefulness predicting that drivers would use it twice to 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 previous sets of the latest s. He can also be had 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 it also not as white bread is the go for changing i think its a good mix and so much fun to drive and if you take it for another space. And. These days almost every automaker. As an s. U. V. Or 2 and its lined up real off road is a still a rare breed one thats been around for a while dismissing. Contest a lot feels like hes gone back in time. You know its all to when dinosaurs progress. He almost expects to see a time around a saurus rex pass by. Not exactly passed by. He feels like hes sitting inside a dinosaur. That being the mercedes g. Class oh yeah he just got me to the newest addition mathematics says it doesnt feel as new as it looks prove theres a god so no i dont. Think. Technologically speaking its up to date yet all of its modern driver assists and Entertainment Systems cant hide it same each. Side matthew says the g. Model dates back to 979 a time when german vehicles didnt offer much in the way of space they were all narrow shorter and lower than todays models you know the interior was quite roomy for the time. Today he notices that it feels pretty cramped in my mind even though the new model is around 8 centimeters wider than the old 15 hope for the best lawyer more on the fair then to me it. Does. So space is limited but the vehicle is bound to have other selling points right. Im gonna spend on the matter says the mercedes g. Has one special talents just watch things. Going just 50 kilometers an hour and make the tires squeal. Just the way a porsche 911. 00 would when taking the same curve at a 100 Kilometers Per Hour i dont want that all the is a fog. 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 the wall unit 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 that is difficult or downright impossible to achieve in practice. When its. Sitting so high up matches has a great overview of the situation and yet we can barely remember the last time he was in a car with such a huge turning circle. But on the bright side he says with this car you can just drive over the curb if you cant turn into. So the g. Class isnt a great vehicle for parking carriages. But maybe its just right for castle do well as. They are simply our car test the system is sadies g class is immediately recognizable and the newest version 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 upright wind shield. The flat. In the distinctive side molding 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. To tell much a flatter and use technology. And matthew says if we go even further back to the yankees and to 979 when i just want to was introduced 4 years ago look completely different again. Thats out. 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. And the spare tire is still mounted on the back. There monday. Minuses both of these cars belong to a christian. So theres this wonderful castle where weve been invited today. After the 2 men say hello christian looks and sets things straight he says he only the cars belong to him but he does host weddings that are canceling likes to greet guests and so they happen masses here come up with a nice altar. Much as comments that a castle in the g. Class and exactly things you need in daily life. Is a christian says you stay true to the g. Class because he likes that. He uses the old. Model to take guests hunting and this one to drive. Any force matters 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 you hopes the new version will offer much more space. For the ocean finds it a little crowded. Also those matters even though hes not short of increase youre going to know if you can purchase things a designer should have sacrificed a bit of cargo space to give passengers more leg room. Glasses agrees but he says at least they have the right seat belts. Then found that is what he really doesnt like these events he thinks theyre round shape contradicts this vehicles entire concept out all those. Forms on question suggest they sit up front and test things out matters even lets him drive. In the woods it quickly becomes clear that the g. Class is much more than a trendy s. U. V. For hauling groceries though christian gives it a real workout in rugged terrain the vehicle takes everything in its stride. The arcus young man just ask question what he thinks. Of the guys that hes thrilled and calls it a 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 that wouldnt go in absorbs the pipes look out a 2nd. Clock what good is that if the vehicle is seldom or never used off road due to its high price or for fear of scratches and scrapes. With Alan Fels Castle disappearing in the mirror behind him matches delivers his verdict i was coming to stand for he says you can understand christians enthusiasm from the. The same as g. Class really is a great vehicle for driving. Christian really wasnt driving slowly yet matus didnt feel like you know about any potholes all sticks and stones on the ground. But he also did notice that at the front a rigid axle has been replaced by independent suspension though in terms of off road capability the g. Class still has 3 differential locks. So its a great off road or so forth but imagine says missing the class is also a great gas guzzler so dont expect too much official fuel consumption and even though its got more margin here it is still a tight fit. Plus the vehicle is incredibly hard to maneuver mattresses lots of vehicles can do what the g. Class can and do it better. The only thing they dont have is the cult following. So much as advisors buyers to look beyond the hype purchasing a new vehicle. I would call. That and today car tester in his future is trying out a new model in the s. U. V. Segment the citroen c 5 aircraft available in germany since early twentys. But its main selling points would seem to be design and comfort. Its marketed in 92 countries and it wants to find out how it hopes to win the car buyers hearts. Up to the sci fi there cross possesses on the features of an s. U. V. Such as the wide skirts and the rounded flowing contours as major design elements. And the end of those points out a unique design feature. The front is the split grow the upper part includes the daytime running lights and turn signals while down below the headlights. Got an indentation to accommodate citron double chevron logo. Bumper inserts and bumps in different colors can also be. Looking at the sea far from the side it is almost the roof is floating above the body and windows other carmakers have been playing with this effect as well its a truth by making the pale as glossy black which also seems to stretch the body out on the c. 5 across the black roof and rear acetyl from the body when i see shapes chrome trim this. Up close and your app that. Highlights at the rear is the smart design of the 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 seats. Thats a decisive factor in making this so comfortable that theyre not. The mask. It is especially like the combination of materials which gives the interior both high quality and a stylishly modern look the only part she doesnt like that much all the while the charging pads for smartphones to her they look as if the designers had lost their aspiration. She would have liked a nice covering. The buttons for the driving modes and nearby and if you compare them with how the charging pad seen a little slap dash. In the sim from after. She gives a top rating to the illuminated storage compartment of the Center Console it accommodates even big water bottles. To. The modern design of the. As a digital cockpit able to display a diversity of information. For an especially comfortable ride citron is equipped all european versions of the c. 5 air cross with advanced comfort suspension additional hydraulic stops allow for better absorption of jobs unlike the purely mechanical stops they also prevent excessive rebound. We tried out the more powerful of the 2 available gasoline engines with an output of 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 base version starts at around 23000. 00 euros. You know as far as the steering are sometimes giving her a good control of the car even the adage of 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 the suspension set primarily for comfort person issues prefers the normal comfort how that apps that thats where everything comes together in harmony and the 8 gears shift smoothly and the cars 133 kilowatts. The flat. With. Only half mile in is returns to the design pointing out a funny presentation of the speedometer. It looks a. But like a timeline. In the fight. And this is amused by this ensues it is one more expression of citron ambition to reinterpret and redesign everything that. May just be a gimmick but it certainly grabs our attention. It is doesnt see this s. U. V. Navigating the forests and meadows the name cross tends to suggest it was made to float above the asphalt like a cloud and in fact it does the comfortable seats and suspension add up to a highly pleasant ride on journeys and short. And indeed the sci fi they cross does not come with all wheel drive but starting in late 2019 will be available in a plug in hybrid. 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 in 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 coach make. It up 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 cooper and 957 volkswagen porsche 696. Ounce the spoiler had already established contact supporter back in one. In 486 of the very 1st porsche 356 is had bodies made by the bottle brothers including the oldest Series Production porsche still in existence car number 003 but the coach makers had aspirations of their own. In an elegant you play with 4 seats and superior engineering that drives like a sports car impossible. No. 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 by the Porsche Beutler 696 a real like catcher. The body of the porsche 696 was made entirely of a mini in this particular 4 door coupe a was fitted with an engine that normally powered porsche sportscast the other boys 6 and 6 is used to reliable and cheaper mass production engine produced by france like. Most players were powered by the v. W. Beetle engine explains christophe with a judson compressor providing extra performance but that wasnt enough and this cars 1st hear that sound. Thats a quarter engineering in the back crystal says a 4 cylinder boxer engine generated 75. 00 horsepower and pushed the coup plate to a 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 bottle 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 color scheme looks smart with a radio. And high quality leather upholstery the boiler porsche was both a luxury as and suitable for everyday use. The trunk at the front can hold quite a lot more than just the gulf bag. Or interior. And here at the back is the legendary Porsche Boxster engine from the 356. 00 its twins carburetors allow it 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 pool sure is really in its element because in its day only the rich can afford to own one. Just so i could see crystal says in 157. 00 this could play so for almost 20000. 00 swiss francs as much as for standard volkswagen beetles but exclusivity has its price and the swiss could afford the Better Things in life. Still switzerland is a small country so just for these composers what ever solved. The 51 for in self and drove it until the 1990 s. Therefore as they are. Just 5 of these upscale cars were the builders using engineering borrowed from porsche and false flag and and a hand how my body from a small swiss coach maker so can the boy a really qualify as a milestone in automotive history. He could put up the board brothers for the 1st in europe to make a 4 seater sports could play with outstanding driving characteristics it will be many years until cars like the v. W. Sirocco comfrey a no call man to introduce the idea to the masses so for that reason christophe it fills the funks wagon Porsche Beutler is definitely an automotive stuff.
