Perhaps hoping it will pick up on the recent success of his little brother the fiesta. The also a monorail discovers the focus s. T. Is in its element. 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. Z f u s. 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. In my experience is the focus s. T. Steering as fairly direct so theres good feedback from the road it also has relatively good self unlocking 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 were. Working hard on the hood is a 2. 3 liter 4 cylinder engine based on the one powering the old focus r. S. The new focus s. T. Engine puts out 206 kilowatts and pushes the car to the 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 very distinctive even when heard by a bystander outside when the car flies past.

As a really well made hot hatch known as aggressive and purist because the Honda Civic Type obvious but also not as white bread is the gold changing i think and its a good mix and so much fun to drive you take it for another spin. Not one that. These days almost every want to make has a. Its you do your 2 and its lined up but real off road is a still a rare breed one thats been around for a while dismissing these. Candidates go for. Contest. That feels like hes gone back in time. You know 02 when dinosaurs roamed the earth. He almost expects to see a tie around a saurus rex passed 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 but match it says it doesnt feel as new as it looks through it is hes got no on the company that i was thinking. Technologically speaking its up to date yet all of its modern driver assists and Entertainment Systems cant hide its age. Sideman too 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. Ask them to meet up but thats just. So the space is limited but the vehicle is bound to have other selling points right. Im gonna speak on the matter says the mercedes she has one special talent just watch this. By her 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 i dont wonder at all these 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 liter v a twin turbo charger can accelerate this 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 thats difficult all downright impossible to achieve in practice. When its. Sitting so much as has a great overview of the situation yet he 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 entire. So the g. Class isnt a great vehicle for parking carriages. But maybe its just right for cars sold well as. They are simply our car test the system a savings g classes immediately recognizable and the newest version change that its boxy shape and angular exterior contours simply make it like no other auto. 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 windshield. The flat. In the distinctive so id molded trim others have changed there are new bumpers headlights and turn signals the door edges around. 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. 00. This one was introduced 4 years ago looked 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. The spare tire is still mounted on the back. Their money. Matters as 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 but he does host weddings are canceling likes to greet their guests and today hes happy masses is here with a nice. Comments that a castle in the g. Class and its actually things you need in daily life. Is this because christian says he stayed true to the gene class because he likes that. He uses the old. 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. And finds it a little crapshoot. Those matters even though hes not short of them kristie i dont know if you can name. Things the designers 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. Some form of these when he really doesnt like these events and he thinks theyre round shape contradicts this vehicle entire concept. Christian suggest they sit up front and 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 trendy s. U. V. For hauling groceries though christian gives it a real workout in rugged terrain the vehicle takes everything in its stride. Just ask question what he thinks. The biggest thrills and holds 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 quite that wouldnt go in absorbs the bumps look out of spec. 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 i was coming to stand for he says you can understand christians enthusiasm in a saint is g. Class really is a great vehicle for driving. The christian really wasnt driving slowly yet matus didnt feel it go over any potholes all sticks and stones on the ground but he also didnt notice that at the front a 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 forth but it actually 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 mattresses lots of vehicles can do what the g. Class can and do it better. The only thing they dont have is the culture. So much as advises buyers to look beyond the hype purchasing a new vehicle. 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. 00 countries and it is wants to find out how it hopes to win the car buyers hearts. Up to create a sci fi there cross possesses all the features of an s. U. V. Such as the wide skirts and the rounded flowing contours as major design elements. And madonna 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 the headlights. 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 as 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 a. M. B. Pale as glossy black which also seems to stretch the body out on the sea 5 across the black roof an area set off from the body when i see shapes chrome trim. Pick up those and the killer app 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 is the superbly up post and see. Thats a decisive factor in making this as you are reading so comfortable. It is especially like the combination of materials which gives the interior both some high quality and a stylishly modern look the only part she doesnt like that much all the while this charging parents for smart files to hurt they look as if the designers had lost their aspiration for why it should have legs and ice covering. The driving modes of nearby and if you compare them how charging pads seem a little slapdash. But she gives a top rating to the illuminated storage compartment of Center Console it accommodates even big water bottles. The modern design of that requires a digital copy table 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 jolts 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 a good control of the car and even the added to the normal driving mode is the eco mode for more fuel efficient driving that in the sport mode the can down shift 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 of the person issue prefers the normal amount of time than abs of power that it has thats where everything comes together in harmony. 8 gears shift smoothly and the cars 133 cuba wants to tell you this cant be the fact because the car this was. Only half a mile in is 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 by this and says it is one more expression of citron ambition to reinterpret and 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 and in fact it does the comfortable seats and suspension add up to a highly pleasant ride on journeys and short. And indeed to 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 into switzerland not in porsches 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 order the body individually from a coach maker. By the 1950 s. This practice was rare but the beutler firm from switzerland continued to do excellent work. One example is this wonderful 957 volkswagen porsche 696. Ounce than Football Player 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 their are.

That supported engineering in the back crystal says a 4 cylinder boxer engine generated 75. 00 horsepower and pushed the coup play 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 beutler study is coolly understated but then the swiss do like to remain neutral the only extravagant feature is the merc radiator grille because in fact this cars engine is in the rear. Of the interiors monochrome color scheme looks smart with a radio from black and high quality leather upholstery the porsche was most luxury us and suitable for everyday use. The trunk at the from can hold quite a lot more than just the golf bag. Interior. And here at the back is the legendary Porsche Boxster engine from the 356. Its twins zen is carburetors allowed to generate 75. 00 horsepower with this engine alone cost 3600. 00 swiss francs thats more than the standard v. W. One. Says its worth every song. Flitting between the classy old resort towns of the island of the boy pusher is really in itself because in its day only the rich can afford to own one. Plus. Theres a 957 this could play 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 4 of these companies were ever solved. The 5th one for himself and drove it until the 1990 s. They are. Just 5 of these upscale cars were of a build using engineering borrowed from porsche i am. And a hand hammered body from a small swiss coach maker so can the boy really qualify as a milestone in automotive history. He could put up the border brothers were the 1st in europe to make a 4 seater sports who play with outstanding driving characteristics it will be many years until cars like the v. W. Sirocco. Man to introduce the idea to the masses so for that reason christophe feels the funks wagon Porsche Beutler is definitely an automotive milestone and the boy is also one of the most beautiful cars ever made what a shame that the tradition of making car bodies by hand is slowly but surely dying out.
